This paper described the effects of DME blended fuel on the engine combustion and emission characteristics of four cylinder CRDI diesel engine. Biodiesel was added into the DME fuel in order to improve the low kinematic viscosity of DME fuel. In this work, the experiment was performed under th various injection timings and injection strategy at constant engine speed and engine load. To maintain the fuel pressure and temperature, pressure and temperature controllers were installed to the DME fuel system. The results show that ignition delay was shortened and combustion duration was extended when DME blended fuel is supplied. Despite of slightly higher NOx emission with DME blended fuel at equal conditions in comparison with those of diesel fuel, the engine showed lower HC and CO emission characteristics.

The engine performance and combustion characteristics of methanol blended fuel in a multiple-point electronic control gasoline engine were discussed on the basis of experimental investigation. The effects of methanol blending fuel on combustion in cylinder were investigated under various conditions of engine cycle and blending ratio. The results showed that the engine performance was influenced by the methanol blended ratio. The results showed that the engine performance was influenced by the methanol blending ratio and the variations of operating conditions of test engine. The increase of blended fuel brought on the improvement of emission characteristics such as THC, CO, and NOx concentration. The effect of methanol blended fuel on the fuel consumption rate and the other characteristics of performance were discussed.

The characteristics of combustion and emission of biodiesel fuel were investigated in a single cylinder DI diesel engine equipped with a common rail injection system. For investigating the effect of bio diesels, the experiments were conducted at various mixing ratio and engine operation conditions. Experimental results show that combustion pressure increased with the increase of mixing ratio and injection pressure. The HC and CO emissions are decreased and NOx emission is increased as the mixing ratio of biodiesels increases at 100MPa injection pressure. However the results of the emissions are shown the contrary to the results at 50MPa of injection pressure due to larger droplets of biodiesel sprays.

The characteristics of the catalytically supported combustion with Pd and Pd/Pt based catalyst using the bench-scaled high pressure combustor have been investigated up to 5atm. This study aimed to investigate combustion characteristics of the stable flame attached to the exit of catalyst bed and NOx emissions with respect to the position of axial and radial direction in the combustor. NOx emissions were increased along the axial distance after the catalyst bed exit and radially decreased from the center to the wall of the combustor. At the higher pressure, the NOx emission decreased slightly due to the lower flame temperature in the combustor at the high pressure.

GDI(Gasoline Direct Injection( engine technology is well known as a new technology since it can improve fuel consumption and meet future emission regulations. But the GDI has many difficulties to be solved, such as complexity of injection control mode, unburned hydrocarbon, and restricted power. A 2-D shape combustion chamber was adopted to investigate mixture formation and combustion characteristics of GDI engine. Spray and combustion experiments were performed by changing the injection timing. injection pressure an din-cylinder flow in Rapid Compression and Expansion Machine(RCEM).Through the experiments, the detailed characteristics of fuel spray and combustion was analyzed by visualizing the in-cylinder phenomena according to the change of injection condition, and the optimal fuel injection timing and fuel injection pressure were obtained.

Effects of oxidizer inlet velocity on NO emission characteristics of 0.2MW oxy-fuel combustor have been experimentally investigated. The NO formation process in the oxy-fuel combustion is extremely sensitive even for the small fraction of nitrogen in oxidizer. By increasing the oxidizer velocity, flame length is reduced due to the enhanced turbulent mixing. The increased oxidizer velocity also results in the decreased flame temperature through the elevated entrainment rate of the recirculated product and the corresponding NO emission is drastically decreased. Experimental results clearly indicate that the entrained product gases play a crucial role to decrease the temperature at the flame zone and the post flame zone where the thermal NO is mainly formed.

The NOx emission characteristics of jet flames fueled with $H_2\;and\;CH_4$ were studied. Experimental and numerical investigations were carried out for various flames with varying equivalence ratio, fuel flow rate and nozzle diameter. The Emission indices of NOx(EINOx) were measured by chemiluminescent method and calculated by numerical model based on detailed chemistry. The results show that EINOx of $CH_4\;and\;H_2$ flames have different trends in terms of equivalence ratio and fuel flow rate but have the same trends in terms of nozzle diameter. These differences can be explained by the following Thermal and Prompt trends in both flames. Thermal EINOx is quite sensitive to the residence time in the high-temperature region weighted by the maximum flame temperature. Prompt EINOx is mainly influenced by flame surface area of each combustion conditions.

Environmental protection on the ocean has been interested and nowadays the International Maritime Organization(IMO) has advanced on the prevention of air pollution from ships. This study presents the emission characteristics of 4 stroke marine diesel engines in E3 cycle (propulsion application) and D2 cycle (generation application). Also the effects of important operating parameters in terms of intake air pressure and temperature, and maximum combustion pressure on the specific emissions are described. Emissions measurement and calculation are processed according to IMO Technical Code. The results show that NOx emission level in E3 cycle is higher than that in D2 cycle due to lower engine speed at low load and the maximum combustion pressure by fuel injection timing control and intake air temperature has strong influence on NOx emission production. And CO, HC emissions are not affected by maximum combustion pressure and intake air pressure and temperature.

Emission characteristics of NOx and CO with heat loss under high efficiency combustion conditions of $CH_4$/Air prmixed flame were examined numerically using detailed-kinetic chemistry. The one-dimensional combustor length was fixed 5cm, and the equivalence ratio was varied from 0.75 to 0.95. To consider the effects of heat loss on NOx and CO formation, the radiative heat loss rate and combined heat loss rate of conductive and convective heat transfer are included. The following conclusions were drawn. In order to reduce the NOx and CO emission level simultaneously, the temperature of product gases must be reduced under 1,800K as soon as possible but kept over 1,300K during the residence time which is needed to converge CO to $CO_2$.

Environmental protection on the ocean has been interested and nowadays the International Maritime Organization(IMO) has advanced on the prevention of air pollution from ships. This study presents the emission characteristics of 4 stroke propulsion diesel engine in E2 cycle (constant speed) and E3 cycle (propeller curved speed). Also the effects of important operating parameters in terms of intake air pressure and temperature, and maximum combustion pressure are described on the specific emissions. Emissions measurement and calculation are processed according to IMO Technical Code. The results show that NOx emission level in E3 cycle is higher than E2 cycle due to lower engine speed and lower maximum combustion pressure by retarding fuel injection timing. Intake air temperature has strong influence on NOx emission production. And CO, HC emissions are not affected by maximum combustion pressure and intake air pressure and temperature.
