An experimental investigation was conducted to analyze the effects of biodiesel-ethanol and biodiesel-diesel blended fuels on the characteristics of combustion and exhaust emissions, and size distributions of particulate matter in a single cylinder diesel engine. The three types of test fuel were biodiesel and two blended fuels which were added ethanol and diesel by 20 % volume based fraction into biodiesel, respectively. In this study, the injection rate, combustion pressure, exhaust emissions and size distributions of particulate matter were measured under various injection timings and injection pressures. The experimental results show that biodiesel-ethanol blended fuel has lengthened ignition delay and low combustion pressure in comparison with those of biodiesel and biodiesel-diesel blended fuel even if all fuels indicated similar trends of injection rate under equal injection pressures. In addition, the ethanol blended fuel significantly reduced nitrogen oxidies (NOx) and soot emissions. And then the size distribution of particulate matters shows that blended fuels restrain the formation of particles which were beyond the range of 150nm comparison with biodiesel fuel.

The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of ambient conditions on the spray behavior of biodiesel-ethanol blended fuels. In order to analyze the spray behavior, spray tip penetration and spray cone angle were obtained from the visualization system and the effects of ethanol blending are compared macroscopic characteristics with the numerical results. It was reveled that the ethanol contents in biodiesel-ethanol blended fuels affect the spray tip penetration a little and increased the spray cone angle. Increased ambient pressure induced the decrease of the spray tip penetration, and the increased ambient temperature lead to the increase of the spray tip penetration. In addition, the increased ambient temperature promoted the vaporization and atomization of spray with the effect of increasing ethanol fuel.

In this study, the spray characteristics of blended fuels with biodiesel were investigated. The experiments were performed for the effect of mixing ratio and injection pressures on the spray behavior. Conventional diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel and blended fuels were used as test fuels. Through the spray visualization system, composed of a Halogen lamp and High speed camera. The process of spray injection was visualized. Fuel containing biodiesel has different spray pattern on account of the high viscosity and large surface tension. Through this experimental result, we found that, after solenoid driving pulse generates, the increase of injection pressure enables delay time to get shorter, but the increase of mixing ratio makes delay time lengthen.

In this study, we suggested effective countermeasure of biodiesel oxidation problems by investigating the oxidation degradation of biodiesels derived from variable resources and the level of oxidation stability of current distributing biodiesel blended fuels (2%) in Korea, and oxidation stability change according to storage time (for 3 month) and biodiesel blending ratio (2, 5, 7, 10%). By the composition analysis results of biodiesel from various resources which are possible to distribute in Korea, the biodiesel from animal fat has poor oxidation stability and cold performance, while the biodiesel from coconut and palm kernel which are considered as future potential raw material showed good oxidation stability and cold performance. The oxidation stability level of current distributing biodiesel blended fuels in Korea was excellent with showing over 30 hours (average 68 hours) stability, but the oxidation stability of the blended fuel with animal fat biodiesel having poor oxidation property (1.22 hours) was rapidly decreased to below 32 hours by mixing only 2%. Therefore, we have to pay attention to quality control of oxidation property, because the oxidation stability problem can be caused by increasing biodiesel blending ratio and diversifying raw materials those have worse property.

Hydrotreated biodiesel (HBD) would be one of the promising alternative fuels instead of current biodiesel. In this study, spray characteristics in terms of spray penetration and spray angle were conducted experimentally including calculated SMDs as well. The ambient pressures of 1, 3, and 5 MPa and injection pressures of 30, 80, and 130 MPa were introduced and the fuels employed were petro-diesel, and 2, 10, 20, 30, and 50% for hydrotreated biodiesel, respectively. The result of this study found that the more HBD blended diesels have the slightly shorter spray tip penetration lengths especially on the lowest injection pressure and at the highest ambient pressure, but have the larger spray angles and SMDs than petro-diesel. Consequently, this study found that HBD has a little bit merits and demerits of macro- and micro- spray patterns compared to petro-diesel.

This experiment was undertaken to investigate the atomization characteristics of the low viscosity biodiesel blended fuel and ultrasonic energy added one. Test fuels were conventional diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel. We compared to the characteristics of viscosity and surface tension, SMD between low viscosity biodiesel blended fuel and ultrasonic energy added one. Sauter mean diameter was measured under the variation of the spray distance. Viscosity and surface tension was measured under the variation of the time trace. To measure the droplet size, we used the Malvern system 2600C. Droplet size distribution was analyzed from the result data of Malvern system. Through this experiment, we found that the condition of the ultrasonic energy added situation had smaller Sauter mean diameter of droplet, viscosity and surface tension than that of the conventional situation.

본 연구는 DME-바이오디젤 혼합연료의 분무 및 연소, 배기 특성을 바이오디젤과 비교한 실험적 연구이며 실험연료는 바이오디젤 (BD100)과 중량 기준으로 DME를 20% 혼합한 DME-바이오디젤 혼합연료 (B-DME20)이다. 거시적 분무 특성을 연구하기 위하여 분무 이미지로부터 분무도달거리, 분무각을 측정하였으며, 연소 및 배기 특성은 단기통 직접 분사식 압축착화 기관을 이용하여 분석하였다. 실험결과 바이오디젤과 DME-바이오디젤 혼합연료는 분사율에서는 큰 차이가 없었지만 혼합연료의 경우에 착화지연기간이 짧고 연소압력이 높았으며soot 배출물이 현저하게 줄어들었다.

최근 바이오디젤의 보급 활성화에 정책에 따라 석유제품에 바이오디젤 혼합량이 증가되고 있으며, 이러한 혼합량 증가에 따른 겨울철 저온특성과 산화안정성에 대한 문제가 제기되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 바이오디젤 혼합연료에 대하여 실제 저장환경을 모사하고, 저장 중 품질변화를 평가하여 저장환경별 산화 경향과 품질에 미치는 영향 등의 규명을 통해 산화 제품의 품질관리 방안을 제시하였다. 바이오디젤 혼합연료의 산화열화 평가 결과, 직접적인 햇빛 노출 및 대기노출이 없는 저장용기에서는 여름철 약 18주간은 산화에 의한 특별한 품질저하는 없었지만, PE 재질 플라스틱 용기의 경우 약 2주간의 햇빛노출에 급격한 산화가 일어나 품질저하를 초래하였다. 이러한 현상을 일부 품질변화뿐만 아니라 FT-IR 스펙트럼 변화로도 확인 할수 있었다. 하지만 산화가 상당히 진행된 연료라도 품질기준을 모두 만족하여 품질검사 항목만으로는 특별한 현상을 발견할 수 없었다. 즉, 품질기준을 만족하더라도 산화로 인한 산화 생성물(고분자물질, 유기산 등)에 의해 차량 문제를 유발할 수 있는 충분한 여지가 있었다.

본 연구는 4실린더 커먼레일 디젤 기관에서 바이오디젤 혼합 연료와 순수한 디젤연료를 사용하여 EGR율을 변화시켰을 때 연소 및 배기 특성을 디젤 연료만을 사용하였을 경우와 비교하기 위하여 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 기관 회전 속도 2,000rpm에서 바이오디젤 혼합율 20%의 연료와 디젤 연료를 사용하여, EGR율에 다양하게 변화를 주어 실험을 하였다. 실험결과, 연소압력은 바이오디젤 혼합 연료와 디젤 연료 모두 EGR율이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 도시 평균유효 압력은, 디젤 연료에 비하여 바이오디젤 혼합 연료가 더 높게 나타났다. 배출가스의 경우에, NOx는 EGR율이 증가할수록 디젤 연료에 비하여 바이오디젤 혼합 연료가 더 많이 배출되었다. 또한 NOx는 바이오디젤 혼합 연료와 디젤연료 모두 EGR율이 증가할수록 감소되었다. CO와 Soot, $CO_2$는 EGR율이 증가 할수록 증가하였으며, CO, Soot은 디젤 연료에 비해 바이오디젤 혼합 연료에서 더 작게 배출되었지만 $CO_2$는 더 많이 배출되었다.

In order to investigate the spray characteristics according to diesel and bioethanol blending with biodiesel fuel, macroscopic spray characteristics were analyzed from the comparison of the effect of the injection pressure, ambient pressure and density on the spray tip penetration and spray cone angle. In addition, spray atomization characteristics were studied with local and overall Sauter mean diameter (SMD) and the contour map of SMD distribution at various injection conditions. It was revealed that the spray tip penetration of biodiesel fuels blended with diesel and ethanol was shorter than that of an undiluted biodiesel fuel at low injection pressure. However, the difference of spray tip penetration among three test fuels reduces at a high injection pressure. Increase of the ambient gas density leads to the decrease of the spray tip penetration of three test fuels. When diesel and ethanol fuels add to an undiluted biodiesel fuel, spray cone angle increases due to the decrease of the fuel density at the same ambient pressure condition. On the other hand, the droplet mean diameter decreases due to the reduction of the kinematic viscosity and surface tension.
