New method and device for the on-line measurement of soot concentration in a diesel engine oil are proposed, where the measurement principle is based mainly on attenuated internal total reflection. Various laboratory tests of the detector were performed mainly with carbon black particles of different contamination levels. It was found that the proposed detector could be well used to monitor oil deterioration due to soot contamination. Operational range of the detector was found from 0 to 5 mass percentage of soot content. Test results with water and fuel dilution showed that these effects were not remarkable. However, adsorption of carbon black particles to a measurement surface was considered to be a critical problem in the new detector. Effects of particle deposition onto the interface was experimentally evaluated with the oil temperature and turbulence and discussed throughout this work.

자동차 엔진오일의 열화상태를 직접 in situ로 측정할 수 있는 코일형 전기용량 센서를 개발하였다. 엔진 오일팬의 드레인 홀의 제한된 공간 속에서 10 pF 이상을 얻기 위하여 코일형으로 설계 제작되었다. 코일의 직경 및 권선 조건, 포머의 재질 및 구조, 차폐조건 등 안정된 전기용량 측정을 위한 설계 요구 조건을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험적인 방법에 의해서 찾아내었다. 제작된 여러 개의 센서를 이용하여 동일한 조건의 사용오일 특성을 분석한 결과 0.25% 이내에서 일치하였다. 차량에 직접 장착하여 장기간 측정한 결과, 심한 진동과 온도 및 습도변화와 전자기적 잡음 등 열악한 차량의 조건에서도 매우 우수한 측정결과를 나타내었다.

A CRDI diesel engine used to commercial vehicle was fueled with diesel fuel and 5% biodiesel blended fuel (BDF 5%) and tested at the Seoul-10 mode for 150 hours. Engine dynamometer testing was completed at regularly scheduled intervals to monitor the engine performance and exhaust emissions. To check the engine parts (valve, injector), the engine was inspected after 150 hours running test. It was concluded that there was no unusual deterioration of the engine, or the changes in engine power (below 2.6%), smoke (below 6.2%), NOx (below 2%) and durability characteristics in spite of operation of 150 hours run with BDF 5%. The difference of kinetic viscosity for engine oil (before and after durability testing) was below 0.36%

A CRDI diesel engine used to commercial vehicle was fueled with diesel fuel and 20% biodiesel blended fuel (BDF 20%) and tested at the Seoul-10 mode for 150 hours. Engine dynamometer testing was completed at regularly scheduled intervals to monitor the engine performance and exhaust emissions. To check the engine parts (valve, injector), the engine was inspected after 150 hours running test. It was concluded that there was no unusual deterioration of the engine, or the changes in engine power (below 1.9%), smoke (below 4.1%), NOx (below 3.7%) and durability characteristics in spite of operation of 150 hours run with BDF 20%. The difference of kinetic viscosity for engine oil (before and after durability testing) was below 0.19% at $100^{\circ}C$.

We developed a new measuring equipment which makes it possible to perform on-line measurements with the merits of its implicity and the time-saving characteristics. By using the newly developed measurement system, the amount of aeration is directly measured on several parameters, i.e, engine speed, oil quantity, oil deterioration, oil temperature and viscosity, etc. It showed that oil aeration is strongly related to be gas movements in crankcase and the residence time of circulating oil in oil pan. In addition, in order to clarify the mechanism of aeration and to quantify the degree of aeration, a modelling analysis to predict aeration was performed , and as a guiding parameter, Aeration Index was defined. Finally, the parameter was compared with the actual amount of aeration, and it was confirmed that they gave a good correlation with each other.

When the low heavy oil is using as fuel oil to the diesel engine, some problems such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance and heat resistance are happened in diesel engine's internal material, especially the adhesive wear of piston ring groove was occurred as a important problem. Therefore to prevent adhesive wear of its groove, the surface of its groove used to be electroplated with Chrominum and for its Chromium electroplating, Fe anode is being used until nowadays because of its Special shape. However in case of using Fe anode, there were some problems such as deterioation of solution, property of Chromium film, and condition of coation. In this paper Pb anode electroplated withPb to the steel plate was investigated for its Chromium electroplating for Pb's high corrosion resistance in acid solution, and Pb anode is not dissolved compared with Fe anode and deterioration degree of solution in case of Pb anode is smaller than that of Fe anode and also property of Chromium film was better than that of Fe anode. Moreover it was known that the optimum cathodic current density for Pb electroplating to steel plate as insoluable anode for Chromium coating of piston ring groove is 30mA/$cm^2$ by experimental results obtained.

Thermal deterioration of fuel due to long-term storage influences engine performance and causes malfunctions. Fuel stability is usually evaluated via heat resistance and thermal stability during a brief heat shock at high temperature; storage stability in this scenario means that there is very little change in the quality of the fuel during long-term storage. In addition, rubber-based products such as oil seals, O-rings, and rubber hoses can influence the quality of the fuel. When these rubber products are in contact with fuel, they can swell, mechanically weaken, and occasionally crack, thus leaking low molar weight rubber and additives including plasticizer and antioxidant into the fuel to degrade its properties and shorten its useful lifetime. This study determines the thermal stabilities of three kinds of synthetic fuels by evaluating their low temperature kinematic viscosities, chemical composition changes via GC analyses, gross heat of combustion, and color changes. We evaluate the compression set of O-rings by immersing one NBR and two FKM rubber O-rings in the three synthetic fuel samples in airtight containers at variable storage temperatures for six months; from this, we estimate the lifetimes of the O-rings using the Power law model. There were very little changes in the chemical compositions and gross heat of combustion after six months of the experiment. The lifetimes are thus dependent on the materials of the rubber products, and in particular, the FKM O-ring was calculated to have a theoretical lifetime of 200 to 5,700 years. These results indicate that the synthetic fuels maintain their physical properties even after long-term storage at high temperatures, and the FKM O-ring is suitable for long-term sealing of these fuels.
