The Representative Interactive Flamelet (RIF) concept has been applied to numerically simulate the combustion processes and pollutant formation in the direct injection diesel engine. Due to the ability for interactively describing the transient behaviors of local flame structures with CFD solver, the RIF concept has the capabilities to predict the auto-ignition and subsequent flame propagation in the diesel engine combustion chamber as well as to effectively account for the detailed mechanisms of soot formation, NOx formation including thermal NO path, prompt and nitrous 70x formation, and reburning process. Special emphasis is given to the turbulent combustion model which properly accounts for vaporization effects on the mixture fraction fluctuations and the pdf model. The results of numerical modeling using the RIF concept are compared with experimental data and with numerical results of the commonly applied procedure which the low-temperature and high-temperature oxidation processes are represented by the Shell ignition model and the eddy dissipation model, respectively. Numerical results indicate that the RIF approach including the vaporization effect on turbulent spray combustion process successfully predicts the ignition delay time and location as well as the pollutant formation.

The effects of pressure charge on combustion stability and emissions have been analyzed using a GDI single cylinder engine. A late injection mode of stratified condition at the air-fuel ratio of 40:1 for 1200∼2400 rpm was tested while the boosted pressure ratio was increased up to 1.5:1. In-cylinder CFD analysis was also performed for better understanding of in-cylinder flow and fuel spray behavior. With a higher boosted pressure ratio the IMEP was increased greatly due to the increased engine load, and the ISFC was improved by more than 10% at all engine speeds. The regime of stable stratified combustion was extended to a higher engine speed, but the spark ignition angle had to be more advanced for stable combustion. The emissions of ISHC and ISNOx did not show a particular trend for the increased engine speed but a general trend of lower ISHC and higher ISNOx for a gasoline engine.

Combustion behavior of pulverized coal particles in a post-combustion gas reactor was investigated. Radiation emission from coal particles were analyzed by direct photograph and $CH^*$ radical chemiluminescence intensity. Coal particles were sampled during the combustion and were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cross section micrograpy technique. Two coal types(one bituminous and one subbituminous coals typically used in the Korean power plants) were tested at typical combustion environment. Gas flow conditions were controlled to represent temperature and oxygen concentration. Experimental data were discussed along with conceptual descriptions of pulverized coal combustion, where particle heat-up, release and combustion of volatiles, and char combustion were sequentially progressed.

Recently gasoline direct injection method has been applied to gasoline engine to reduce fuel consumption rate by controlling fuel air mixture on lean condition by means of stratified charging, and to reduce simultaneously. Pollutant emissions especially NOx and CO by lowering the combustion temperature. But difficulty of controling local fuel air ratio at ignition area in flammability limit unavoidably appeared, because it is merely controlled by injection timing with spatial and temporal distribution of fuel mixture. In this study, the authors devised a uniquely shaped combustion chamber so called three-chamber GDI engine, intended to keep the more reliable fuel air ratio at ignition area. The combustion chamber is divided into three regions. The first region is in the rich combustion division, where the fuel is injected from the fuel injection valve and ignited by the spark plug. The second region is in the lean combustion division, where the combustion gas from the rich combustion division flows out and burns on lean condition. And the last region is in the main combustion division ie in the cylinder, where the gas from the above two combustion divisions mixed together and completes the combustion during expansion stroke. They found that the stable range of operation of three-chamber GDI engine on low-load condition exists in the lean area of average equivalence ratio. And they also found that the reformed engine reveals less specific fuel consumption and less pollutant emissions compared with conventional carburettor type gasoline engine.

본 연구는 직접분사식 가솔린엔진에서 공기 과잉률 및 바이오에탄올-가솔린 혼합연료의 혼합비에 따른 연소특성과 배기배출물 특성을 실험적으로 규명한 것이다. 다양한 공기 과잉률 및 혼합비 조건에서 실험을 수행하였으며, 연소실 압력, 열발생률, 연료소비율 등을 통해 연소특성을 분석하였으며, 배기배출물 특성은 미연탄화수소(HC), 일산화탄소(CO), 질소산화물($NO_x$) 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 혼합연료의 실험결과는 100% 가솔린 및 바이오에탄올 실험결과와 비교하였다. 실험결과 최고연소압력과 열발생률, 제동연료소비율은 혼합비의 증가에 따라 증가하였으며, CO, HC, $NO_x$와 같은 배기배출물은 바이오 에탄올 혼합비율이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 혼합연료의 배기배출물 수준은 가솔린 보다 낮게 나타났다.

하이브리드로켓의 저주파수 연소불안정(LFI) 특성을 이해하기 위해, 주연소실의 연소 당량비 변화가 500 Hz대역의 압력 및 열방출 진동의 위상변화에 미치는 영향에 대해 직접수치해석을 수행하였다. 주연소실의 당량비 변화는 후연소실로 유입되는 연소가스의 온도 및 조성 변화로 모사하였다. 수치해석 결과, 후향 계단 하류에 와류 생성과 함께 추가적인 연소가 나타나며, 와류가 이동함에 따라 연소 압력 및 반응률의 진동이 관찰되었다. 또한, 유입유동의 온도가 변화하면 압력파의 전파속도도 함께 변화하므로 압력 및 반응률 진동 사이의 위상차가 천이하게 됨을 확인하였다.

A direct-injection stratified-charge(DISC) engine has been considered as a promising alternative in spite of high unburned hydrocarbon emission levels during light load operation. In this paper investigation is made to characterize formation and combustion processes of stratified mixture charge in a simple constant volume combustion chamber. Both experimental and numerical analyses are performed for fluid and combustion characteristics with 3 different induction types for rich, homogeneous and lean mixture conditions. The commercial code FIRE is applied to the turbulent combustion process in terms of measured and calculated pressure traces and calculated distributions of mean temperature, OH radical and reaction rate. It turns out that the highest combustion rate occurs for the rich state condition at the spark ignition location due to existence of stoichiometric mixture and timing.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of low-temperature combustion (LTC) on the correlations of combustion characteristics and reduction of exhaust emissions in a small DI diesel engine with biodiesel fuel. In order to analyze the combustion, exhaust emission characteristics and distribution of nano size particles for biodiesel were investigated. In addition, to evaluate the effect of LTC on the combustion and emission characteristics, 30 and 50% of cooled-EGR rates were investigated. From these results, it revealed that the influence of LTC on the combustion characteristics showed that the ignition delay significantly increased and reduces peak heat release rate of premixed combustion by lowering reaction rate. With 50% EGR and advanced injection timing, soot and $NO_x$ emissions were simultaneously reduced.

Effect of double post injections on diesel PCCI combustion with focus on HC emission was investigated in a single-cylinder direct-injection diesel engine. The ISFC, HC and CO emissions were reduced by single or double post injections. The application of double post injections could also improve the trade-off relationship between NOx and HC emissions under wide EGR rate range.
