The wear of engine valve and seat insert is one of the most important factors which affect engine performance. Because of higher demands on performance and the increasing use of alternative fuel, engine valve and seat insert are challenged with greater wear problems than in the past. In order to solve the above problems, a simulator was developed to be able to generate and control high temperatures and various speeds during motion. The wear simulator is considered to be a valid simulation of the engine valve and seat insert wear process with various speeds during engine activity. This work focuses on the different degrees of wear at three different singular test speeds (10 Hz, 25 Hz & multi-Hz). For this study, the temperature of the outer surface of the seat insert was controlled at 350$^{\circ}C$, and the test load was 1960 N. The test cycle number was $6.0{\times}10^6$. The mean ($\pm$standard error) wear depth of the valve at 10 Hz and 25 Hz was 45.1 ($\pm$3.7)$\mu$m and 81.7 ($\pm$2.5)$\mu$m, respectively. The mean wear depth of the seat insert at 10 Hz and 25 Hz was 52.7 ($\pm$3.9)$\mu$m and 91.2 ($\pm$2.7)$\mu$m, respectively. In the case of multi-Hz it was 70.7 ($\pm$2.4)$\mu$m and 77.4 ($\pm$3.8)$\mu$m, respectively. It was found that higher speed (25 Hz) cause a greater degree of wear than lower speed (10 Hz) under identical test condition (temperature, valve displacement, cycle number and test load). In the wear mechanisms of valves, adhesive wear, shear strain and abrasive wear could be observed. Also, in the wear mechanisms of seat inserts, adhesive wear, surface fatigue wear and abrasive wear could be observed.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of axle weight distribution and inflation pressure of tire on the fuel economy of tractors as well as operational range of tractor engine in terms of engine speed and power when a 4WD tractor of 38.2 kW rated power at 2500 rpm is used for plowing and flooded-field rotavating in paddy fields. (1) Plowing operation required an average engine power of 9.6~13.5 kW which equals 25~35% of rated PTO power. Engine speed ranged from 1,320.4 to 1,737.4 rpm, work velocity from 3.4 to 4.8 km/h, and fuel consumption from 3.2 to 4.2 L/h, respectively. (2) Flooded-field rotavating required an average engine power of 11.5~18.5 kW which equals 30~48.4% of rated PTO power. Out of this 6.2~12.2 kW was used for PTO power. Engine speed ranged from 1,557 to 2,067 rpm, work velocity from 2.5~5.4 km/h and fuel consumption from 3.2~5.5 L/h, respectively. (3) Axle weight distribution, inflation pressure of tire and moisture content of soil did not affect significantly the specific volumetric fuel consumption but affected significantly the fuel consumption per unit area of operation. Fuel savings amounted to 65% in plowing operation and 20% in flooded-field rotavating when the axle weight distribution and inflation pressure of tire were optimally adjusted. (4) Optimal adjustment of axle weight distribution and inflation pressure of tire are expected to save fuel consumption by 10~65% per unit area of operation in plowing and 10~20% in flooded-field rotavating.

차량의 폭발적 증가로 인해 저속, 서행형태로 주행시간이 점점 늘어나므로, 본 연구에서는 연비향상을 목적으로 정차상태에서는 일부 실린더만으로 일정한 엔진회전수를 유지하고, 주행상태에서는 전 실린더를 이용하는 가변실린더에 대해 실제 하드웨어로 제작하여 실험해 보았다. 과거에 일부 제작되었던 가변실린더 엔진은 정차상태나 저속상태에서 사용하는 실린더 주위에 열이 집중하여 열응력이 발생하고, 사용하지 않는 실린더는 냉각수의 순환으로 인해 주변의 온도가 더욱 떨어지게 되어, 재점화시에 많은 유해가스가 배출되고 연료 소모량도 많아지게 되며, 엔진회전수가 고르지 못하는 문제가 있었다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하고자 정지상태나 저속주행상태에서와 같이 많은 출력을 요하지 않는 운행조건에서는 새로운 점화방식과 밸브 개폐시기를 이용하여 연비를 향상시키는 방안을 제시하고, 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

Two stroke low speed diesel engines are mainly used for marine propulsion or power plant prime mover. These have many merits such as higher thermal efficiency, mobility and durability. However various annoying vibrations sometimes occur in ships or at the plant itself. Of these vibrations, torsional vibration is very important and it should be carefully investigated during the initial design stage for engine's safe operation. In this paper authors suggest a new estimation method of for shaft's can be calculated equivalently from accumulated fatigue cycles number due to torsional vibration. The 6S70MC-C($25,320ps{\times}91rpm$) engine for ship propulsion was selected as a case study, and the accumulated fatigue cycles numbers for shafting life time converted from the measured angular velocity and torsional vibration stress was calculated. This new method can be realized and confirmed in test model ship with two stroke low speed diesel engine.

The analysis and evaluation of the transient performance by the transient response specifications under various acceleration speeds and types based on driver's typical acceleration habit are implemented by the experimental study to provide the appropriate direction for the transient control in a gasoline engine. The concept of the transient response specifications which consist of delay time, rising time, maximum overshoot and settling time, and the analysis method using them are introduced to evaluate the characteristics of the transient performance quantitatively. Furthermore four acceleration speeds and four acceleration types are set respectively to realize the various transient states which are similar to the real drive. Several performance parameters in terms of engine speed, manifold absolute pressure, fuel injection duration and air excess ratio are measured simultaneously during the various acceleration using a throttle actuator controlled by a PC. The transient response specifications characterized well the transient performance for the various acceleration speed and types quantitatively. Delay and rising time with increment of the acceleration speed became shorter, but settling time did longer. Intensified acceleration type appeared to be the most economical in view of fuel consumption, and linear acceleration type was found to have the least harmful emission concentration.

In this paper, engine-CVT consolidated control algorithm was developed. Engine -CVT control strategy suggested uses throttle control based on power difference and CVT ratio control based in CVT ratio map. Simulation results showed that the larger the rate of CVT ratio, the better the engine performance in the optimal operation line. Also, it was found that the engine performance where the magnitude of the acceleration changes abruptly depends on the magnitude of the rate of CVT ratio. Comparing the results of CVT control only without engine control, the engine-CVT control algorithm suggested in this work showed better performance demonstrating that the consolidated control algorithm should be required for the engine optimal operation.

Recent trends of development in small size gasoline engines are both to have higher compression ratio for the purpose of improved fuel consumption and to advance spark timing up to DBL in a low to mid engine speed region for a good acceleration performance of vehicles. However, there occurs the deviation of corrected engine torque results during engine performance test on dynamometer because test conditions influence the onset of knock. Therefore, this research shows the test deviation of corrected engine torque decreases when knock correction rate is used.

본 연구에서는 입자상물질 저감을 위해 개발한 디젤미립자 필터를 선박용 고속 디젤엔진에 적용하여 측정방법에 따른 저감효율을 비교 분석하였다. 시험에 사용된 엔진은 최고출력 403 kW의 4행정 기계식 선박용 고속 디젤엔진이며, 선박 엔진의 부하와 회전속도 제어를 위해 AC 동력계를 사용하였다. 선박 엔진 시험주기인 E3 cycle의 네 운전조건에서 저감효율을 측정하였으며, 측정방법으로는 입자상물질 및 soot의 저감특성을 살펴보기 위해 분류희석 방법과 광흡수법이 적용된 계측기를 각각 이용하였다. 디젤미립자 필터 적용에 따른 저감효율 측정 결과, 엔진허용 배압을 충족함과 동시에 입자상물질의 경우 76 ~ 91 %, soot(${\approx}$블랙카본)은 90 %이상 확인할 수 있었다. 이 결과로부터, 선박용 디젤엔진에서 배출되는 입자상물질 및 soot 저감기술로 디젤미립자 필터 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 측정방법별 저감효율이 상이한 결과로부터 측정방법의 단일화 필요성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Ion current in an S.I engine cylinder is measured with the spark plug as a probe. The peak values are confirmed to show a fair correlation with local air-fuel ration and engine speed which implies that the ion current measured at the spark plug may provide a signal for the local mixture strength which is the key parameter in precise fuel control for future engines especially of gasoline direct-injected lean burn engines.
