In this paper, the component loss models of the electric vehicle(EV) and the internal combustion engine vehicle(ICEV) are developed to analyze the losses and efficiencies of these two types of vehicles. The EV powertrain efficiency decreases as the vehicle velocity increases over most of the vehicle velocity range because the battery efficiency decreases. Especially, the EV powertrain efficiency decreases significantly when the battery SOC is low. But the ICEV powertrain efficiency increases as the vehicle velocity increases. This is because the efficiencies of both the transmission and engine increases.

The estimation method of combustion efficiency has been introduced by using closed bomb test(CBT). The Noble-Abel equation of state was applied to consider the real gas effects to take account of high operation pressure about a couple of 100 atm. of CBT. The heat loss through the CBT wall was considered. The volume change of grain was calculated by applying form functions, which estimated combustion efficiency of 8 different gain shapes. The combustion estimation method proposed in this study was fairly validated by the comparision with the pressure-time history data of the CBT experiments. The effects of both grain shape and propellant loading density were analyzed.

Pintle injector is the most suitable injector for thrust control because it can control the area of propellant injection. Accordingly, the combustion test of multiple hole pintle injector and continuous type pintle injector was carried out in this paper using liquid oxygen and gas methane. The combustion performance of the two pintles was verified with the characteristic speed efficiency, and the experimental results were compared according to the O/F and combustion chamber pressure and under similar conditions. The efficiency of the multi hole pintle was generally somewhat higher than continuous pintle when pintle opening distance(the area of dispensing oxidizer) was in a 100% thrust condition.

This research is to find a means of reducing diesel engine combustion noise with none or minimum sacrifice of engine performance by investigating the influence of Cylinder Pressure Level(CPL). For this purpose, modified Wiebe's combustion function, considering the heat release curve as a combustion of both premixed and diffusive combustion portion, was exclusively used to obtain the indicator diagram and computer coeds were developed for the numerical analysis. Following are the results of this research. (1) CPL increases almostly with lag of ignition timing increasing .alpha. and decreasing. theta.$_{d}$, but at the crank angle with the maximal efficiency, CPL is independent of .alpha. and .theta.$_{d}$ with constant value of 200 dB especially at the low frequency. (2) For the constant ignition timing, the effects of .alpha. and .theta.$_{d}$ on CPL were the most significant at the frequency of about 1KHz and 300Hz respectively. (3) For the constant value of .alpha. and .theta.$_{d}$, CPL increases linearly with load but thermal efficiency increase very rapidly with maximum value of load Q$_{T}$=30-40 MJ/Kmol, then starts to decrease slowly. (4) The most effective way of reducing combustion noise without sacrificing thermal efficiency, is to decrease .alpha.. In the case of constant .alpha., there always exists a optimum value of .theta.$_{d}$ with respect to the various compression ratio.o..atio.o..

This paper addresses the analysis of the combustion characteristics in the oil burner using swirl flow. The reduction of exhaust emissions and high efficiency combustion techniques of the industrial burner have been studied to conserve environmental resources. We make swirl burner equal to dimension of wide burner and it is turn round of the combustion gas in construction. For a vigorous inner flow possessde 3m/s velocity in combustion gas of two burners. In calculation, we make use of a densely mesh to detailed analysis. In this study, the effect of swirl flow on the combustion of a commercial burner is analysed by experimental and also simulative manner. The results show the swirl burner has 40% better efficiency and less emissions of CO, HC, NOx and Smoke.

In this work, numerical parametric studies on spray combustion have been conducted. In simulation of turbulence, RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}model$ is adopted. Initial spray distribution is specified by Rosin-Rammler distribution function. Eddy break-up model is adopted as a combustion model. The parameters considered are inlet air temperature, swirl number, and SMD. With higher inlet air temperature, the axial velocities are increased and penetration of primary jet is stronger than that of lower inlet air temperature and temperature at the exit of combustor is more uniform. Combustion efficiency is improved with high inlet air temperature. The effect of swirl number on flow field is not significant. It affect only recirculation zone. So temperature at upstream of combustor is influenced. Combustion efficiency deteriorate as SMD of fuel spray increase.

High pressure combustion with multiphase--liquid, gas, and supercritical phase--mixtures are widely used technology in the high efficiency liquid propellent rocket engine. This is the typical characteristics differentiate from the combustor of conventional air-breathing engines. Therefore, successful research of high pressure combustion at supercritical condition is essential to develope a high efficiency liquid rocket engine. Numerical studies have been carried out to explore capabilities of numerical method for LOx-CH4 non-premixed flames at high pressure. In this paper, corresponding numerical results are presented and compared with experimental result of MASCOTTE facility.

The combustion characteristics of metal fiber burner fueled natural gas with tail gas produced from reforming process were analyzed on the point of flame stability and excess air conditions. Also, it was analyzed the effect of energy efficiency improvement due to decrease the fuel input in reforming system by using residue gases. As a results, it was confirmed that tail gas including hydrogen, CO and $CO_2$ could be directly injected without any change of air control system in natural gas burner and also energy efficiency was increased up to 30% maintained stable combustion.

The decomposition of tetrafluoromethane has been investigated with the reaction mechanism proposed for freely propagating $CH_4/CF_4/O_2/N_2$ premixed flames on the oxygen enrichment. The factors affecting on the removal efficiency of tetrafluoromethane were analyzed. The increase in flame temperature due to oxygen enrichment has a great influence on the removal efficiency of tetrafluoromethane. At the same oxygen enrichment condition, the removal efficiency in the rich flame is higher than one in the lean flame. The increase of the F/H ratio leads to decrease the flame temperature and the removal efficiency of tetrafluoromethan is decreased at the flame temperature of 2600 K or lower, The elementary reactions that dominate the consumption of tetrafluoromethane are (R1) $CF_4+M=CF_3+F+M$ and (R2) $CF_4+H=CF_3+HF$. (R1) has the greatest effect on the consumption of tetrafluoromethane under the oxygen enhanced flames.

In this paper, the electric vehicle (EV) and internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) are compared for different driving cases. The EV exhibits a lower powertrain efficiency when driven on the aggressive driving cycle than when driven on the moderate cycle. In particular, EV powertrain efficiency is low when the battery state of charge (SOC) is low, but ICEV efficiency increases when the driving cycle changes from the moderate cycle to the aggressive cycle. Based on these results, attempts can be made to increase EV powertrain efficiency. EV charging before the battery power drops to a low charging state can reduce energy consumption by 2.7% for an urban area. Furthermore, ECO driving has a more significant effect on EVs than on ICEVs.
