A critical speed analysis of oxidizer pump was peformed for a 7 ton class liquid rocket engine as the third stage engine of the Korea Space Launch Vehicle II. Based on the previously developed experimental 30 ton class turbopump and presently developing 75 ton class turbopump for the first and second stage rocket engine of Korea Space Launch Vehicle II, a layout and configuration of the 7 ton class turbopump rotor assembly are determined. A ball bearing stiffness analysis and rotordynamic analysis are performed for both of the bearing unloaded condition and loaded condition. Structural flexibility of the oxidizer pump casing is also included to predict critical speeds. From the numerical analysis, it is confirmed that the rotor system acquires sufficient separate margin of critical speed as a sub-critical rotor even though decrease of critical speed due to the casing structural flexibility.

Although smoke emitted from ships is not included in IMO(International Maritime Organiztion) regulation yet, it is one of the substance what is polluting mainly the air. Especially, its concentration is very high when an engine is started and a load is rapidly changed. This is caused by unburned fuel what is injected more than necessary quantity after combustion period. It is possible to decrease smoke concentration emitted at starting engine by controlling fuel injection quantity, but it is concerned that time to rated speed must be spent. Then a governor what can reduce the smoke concentration without a loss of time to rated speed is needed. We adopted a electro-hydraulic governor what can control dual fuel start limit function and achieved very low level of smoke concentration without greater the loss of time to rated speed.

The intake system of 4-cycle, 4-cylinder reciprocating engine is investigated the simple model composed of vessel, duct and throttling part. The numerical calculation based on the simulation is performed for the flow phenomena including heat transfer, friction and bend of duct at each part. In the multi-cylinder engine, the volumetric efficiency is increased a little as the junction location is closed to cylinder at the engine speed having maximum volumetric efficiency. The configuration and dimension of intake system have an influence on the inertia effect by resistance and pressure variation, and the magnitude of that is varied by the engine speed. Thus the volumetric efficiency is correlative to them. The volumetric efficiency is high as the intake valve close is advanced at the low engine speed, and is delayed at high speed.

Spark knock obstructs any improvement in the efficiency and performance of an engine. As the knock mechanism of spark ignition engine, the detonation and the autoignition theory have been offered. In this paper, the knock model was established, which was able to predict the onset of knock and knock timing of spark ignition engine by the basis of autoignition theory. This model was a function of engine speed and equivalent air-fuel ratio. When this established knock model was tested from 1000rpm to 3000rpm of engine speed data, maximum error was crank angle 2 degrees between measured and predicted knock time. And the main results were as follows by the experimental analysis of spark knock in spark ignition engine. 1) Knock frequency was increased as engine speed increased. 2) Knock amplitude was increased as mass of end gas increased. 3) Knock frequency was occured above minimum 18% mass fraction of end gas.

Recently, fuel prices have been continually raised in diesel engine. Such a change in the fuel price influences enormously the development trend of marine diesel engines for slow speed, In other words, the focus was shifted from large diameter and high speed to low fuel consumption. Accordingly, more efforts are being made for engine manufacturing and development to develop highly efficient engines. In this study. a single cylinder 4 stroke cycle DI slow speed diesel engine was designed and manufactured, a 4 stroke cycle was configured and basic performances were evaluated. The results are as follows. The optimal fuel injection timing had the lowest value when specific fuel consumption was in BTDC 8~$10^{\circ}$, a little more delayed compared to high speed diesel engines. Cycle variation of engines showed about 5% difference at full loads. This is a significantly small value compared to the cycle variation in which stable operation is possible, showing the high stability of engine operation is good. The torque and brake thermal efficiency of engine increased with an increase of engine 250-450 rpm. but fuel consumption ratio increased from the 450 rpm zone and thermal efficiency abruptly decreased. Mechanical efficiency was maximally 70% at a 400 rpm that was lower than normal engines according to the increase of mechanical frictional loss for cross head part. The purpose of this study was to get more practical engines by comparing the above results with those of slow speed 2 stroke cycle diesel engines.

The propulsion marine diesel engine have been widely applied with a mechanical- hydraulic governor to control the ship speed for long time. But it was recently very difficult for the mechani¬cal - hydraulic governor to control the speed of engine under the condition of low speed and low load because of jiggling by rough fluctuation of rotating torque and hunting by dead time of Desiel engnie The performance improvement of mechanical - hydraulic governor is required to solve these problems of control system. The electro - hydraulic governor using PID algorithm is provided to compensate the faults of mechanical- hydraulic governor. In this paper, in order to analyze the ship speed control system, the transfer function was converted from the z tansformation to w transformation. The influence of dead time changing by engine speed which induces hunting phenomena was investigated by Nichols chart of w plane. As a method of performance improvement of mechanical hydraulic governor, a Eletro - hydraulic governor shows that fine control results can be obtained through optimal parameter tuning of PID

The design procedure for fuzzy logic controller depends on the expert's knowledge or trial and error. Moreover, it is very difficult to guarantee the stability and robustness of the system due to the linguistic expression of fuzzy control. However, fuzzy logic control has succeeded in many control problems that the conventional control theory has difficulties to deal with. As a result, this control theory is applied to the engine control system which a mathematical model is difficult. In this study, the fuzzy logic is applied to obtain the gain of PI control at idle speed control system, and a simple engine model is developed in order to perform simulation. Experimental results show that the response to reach the target engine speed at idle speed control system is improved by adopting the gain obtained with fuzzy logic.

Thermal behavior on the cylinder block of a 4-cylinder, 4-stroke 2.0L SOHC gasoline engine was numerically and experimentally analyzed. The numerical calculation was performed using the finite element method. The cylinder block was modelled as a three dimensional finite element by considering its geometry. The physical domain was devided into hexahedron elements. 16 thermocouples were installed at points of 2mm inside from cylinder wall near top ring of piston in cylinder block, which points have suffered major thermal loads and suggested as proper measurement points for engine design by industrial engineers. Under full load and 9$0^{\circ}C$ coolant temperature condition, temperature behavior of cylinder block according to engine speed were analyzed. The results showed that temperature rose gradually to conform to a function of 2nd~4th order of engine speed at intake side, exhaust and siamese side, respectively. As engine load was changed from 100 to 50% by 25% step, temperature curve also conformed to 2nd~7th order function of engine speed. Temperature differences by load condition were similar among 100, 75% and 50%. Under full load and coolant temperature of 11$0^{\circ}C$, temperature behavior were also analyzed and the result also showed conformance to 2n d~7th order function of engine speed. Temperature curve was transferred in parallel upwards corresponding coolant temperature rise.

This paper is the experimental study on the vibration reduction of the 4WD vehicle through the change of the engine mounting conditions.(4 stroke diesel engine) The engine mounting conditions are changed to reduce the transmitted vibrations of the engine to the frame at the idle speed. Under the assumption that the Powertrain(Engine Transmission and Transfer Case) is a rigid body, the inertia properties of the powertrain are obtained by experimental modal analysis. And then the changed mounting conditions are studied by the decoupled vibration theory and analytical model of six degree of freedom. Though the mounting conditions are changed to improve the vibration isolation at idle speed, the vibration and the interior noise of the vehicle are reduced significantly at driving speed as well as idle speed. From the indirect endurance test of the front engine mounts, the changed mounting conditions are desirable to endurance as well as vibration reduction of the 4WD vehicle.
