In this paper, the numerical simulation of the method of characteristics for a two-stroke SI engine was carried out, and the scavenging efficiency and the performance of single engine with two types of exhaust system, that is, a pipe exhaust system and a tuned exhaust system, were predicted and compared. The conculusions are obtained as follows. (1) The method of characteristics of hometropic flow considering the friction and the variation of area is useful to predict the scavenging efficiency and the performance of the two-stroke engine. (2) The shape of exhaust system effects directly on the scavenging and the trapping efficiency. (3) A tuned exhaust system consisted of the diffuser and the convergent nozzle makes the plugging pulse and therefore enhances the scavenging and the trapping efficiency. (4) It may be possible to design the optimum exhaust system by using the plugging pulse.

Because of the advancement of digital computers and software technologies, simulation methods have been used to reduce time and costs. A lot of simulation methods have been developed for the improvement of charging efficiency on the intake and exhaust system of engines. In this study, as a basic step for the development of the gas flow simulation program for the intake and exhaust system, the gas flow in a pipe-orifice system was calculated with three algorithms(Method of Characteristics, MacCormack Method for conservation, and MacCoramck Method for nonconservation). The calculated results using three numerical algorithms were compared with measured result to verify the calculation accuracy.

The auxiliary engine exhaust noise in ships are directly transmitted to bridge wing with the only distance attenuation. It is not so practical that no special treatment can be applied between exhaust pipe and bridge wing in order to reduce the transmission of the exhaust noise. In general, a silencer is fitted to reduce the exhaust noise and also noise of bridge wing. The silencer should be properly designed under the consideration of the frequency component of the exhaust noise and the required insertion loss. In this paper, the frequency component of exhaust noise of various engines are compared and a design and a design and installation of silencer to reduce low frequency is introduced.

This article describes a methodology based on experiments and 1D modeling work related to the exhaust system analysis of a small two-stroke engine. The primary goal of this work was to understand how the design criteria of a compact exhaust system influenced the exhaust port pressure, since its evolution controls not only engine performance but also exhaust emissions. On the experimental side, a fully instrumented 50cc two-stroke engine was used to check the behavior of three different exhaust systems. A problem related to instantaneous pressure measurements in unsteady, hot flow was detected and solved during the study. To build the 1D model of the three exhaust systems, experimental information on the steady flow and the impulse test rigs was obtained under controlled conditions in specific facilities. Accurate comparisons between measured and calculated exhaust port instantaneous pressures were obtained from the following different exhaust system configurations: a straight duct, a tapered pipe and the three compact exhaust systems. The last step in the method used this model to analyze the pressure waves inside the exhaust system and detect the influence of the geometric parameters. The results should lead to improvements in the design process of complex compact exhaust systems in two-stroke engines.

The goal of this research is to understand the NOx emission in direct injected diesel engine with premixed hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen fuel was supplied into the test engine through the intake pipe. Amount of hydrogen-supplemented fuel was 70 % basis on heating value of the total input fuel. The effects of intake air temperature and exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on NOx emission were studied. The intake air temperatures were varied from $23^{\circ}C$ to $0^{\circ}C$ by using liquid nitrogen. Also, the exhaust gas was recirculated to the intake manifold and the amount of exhaust gas was controlled by the valve. The major conclusions of this work include: ( i ) nitrogen concentrations in the intake pipe were increased by 30% and cylinder gas temperature was decreased by 24% as the intake air temperature were changed from $23^{\circ}C$ to $0^{\circ}C$; ( ii ) NOx emission per unit heating value of supplied fuel was decreased by 45% with same decrease of intake air temperature; and (iii) NOx emission was decreased by 77% with 30% of EGR ratio. Therefore, it may be concluded that EGR is effective method to lower NOx emission in hydrogen fueled engine.

This paper has been focused on the development of integrated automotive muffler system to meet getting more stringent sound quality target. Typically, muffler system consists of resonator and main muffler. The many varieties in exhaust pipe routing and the flexibility in muffler design make it possible to design an exhaust system to deliver tailpipe sound for specific sound quality requirement. In recent, it is strongly recommended that the function of resonator be merged into that of main muffler due to severe space limitation of underbody. The main objective of the paper is to study the effects of various geometrical parameters on the muffler performance. This work has succeeded in eliminating resonator without loss of muffler performance. This work has also investigated the effect of diameter of hole, geometries of pipes and location of muffler on the sound quality.

A theoretical study of three-dimensional unsteady compressible non-reacting flow inside double flow of monolith catalytic converter system attached to 6-cylinder engine was performed for the achievement of performance improvement, reduction of light-off time, and longer service life by improving the flow distribution of pulsating exhaust gases. The differences between unsteady and steady-state flow were evaluated through the numerical computations. To obtains the boundary conditions to a numerical analysis, one dimensional non-steady gas dynamic calculation was also performed by using the method of characteristics in intake and exhaust system. Studies indicate that unsteady representation is necessary because pulsation of gas velocity may affect gas flow uniformity within the monolith. The simulation results also show that the level of flow maldistribution in the monolith heavily depends on curvature and angles of separation streamline of mixing pipe that homogenizes the exhaust gas from individual cylinders. It is also found that on dual flow converter systems, there is severe interactions of each pulsating exhaust gas flow and the length of mixing pipe and junction geometry influence greatly on the degree of flow distribution.

대형디젤기관 배기가스 저감용 Urea-SCR 시스템은 높은 NOx 저감율을 보이는 반면, 높은 관통도를 갖는 요소수가 벽면 충돌 후 증발하지 못하고 벽면에 머물게 되어 우레아염을 형성한다. 우레아염 생성 방지를 위한 방안으로 벽면유동 형성을 촉진하기위한 믹서-하우징 조립체의 형상 최적화와 관련된 실험적 연구가 수행되었다. 하우징 경사각 변화 및 믹서 설치위치에 따라 벽면유동의 증가 가능성이 hot-wire 시스템을 이용하여 조사되었다. 벽면 유동은 하우징 경사각 및 믹서 설치 위치에 큰 영향을 받으며, 하우징 경사각이 있고 믹서가 하우징 후단에 설치될 때 벽면유동이 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 가스보일러 가동 중 배기통이 이탈하는 상황이 발생했을 때, 시스템적으로 인지하고 자동으로 보일러 가동을 중지하여 일산화탄소를 포함한 유해 배기가스가 실내로 유입되는 상황을 근원적으로 차단하는 방안을 제시하였다: (1) 연소에 필요한 공기량을 제어하기 위해 설치된 풍압센서(APS : Air Pressure Sensor)의 출력전압을 측정하여 배기통의 정상상태와 이탈상태를 감시하는 기능을 추가한다. (2) 배기통이 이탈하면 APS의 출력전압이 상시 운전범위에서 일시적으로 상승하게 된다. 보일러 제어부인 PCB가 이 상태를 배기통 이탈로 간주하여 보일러 가동을 멈추면서 배기통 이탈 상태를 실내온도 조절기에 표시하도록 한다. 또한 국토교통부령으로 정한 「건축물의 설비기준 등에 관한 규칙」에서 명시한 공동주택 및 다중이용시설의 환기시설 기준에 따라, 실내공기 교환횟수에 맞는 풍량을 적용하여 실내공기를 환기하는 실험을 실시하였다. 이 실험 결과 실제 일산화탄소가 실내에 누출된 최악의 상태에서, 중독사고 예방이 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다. 다만, 동 규칙에서 정의한 시간당 실내공기 교환횟수를 기존 0.7회에서 0.5회로 2013년부터 완화하여 운영하고 있는데, 실험결과 8시간 가중평균 노출기준인 TWA 30 ppm을 초과하는 농도가 측정되어 기준을 강화할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구 결과에 기초하여 가스보일러 배기압력의 기계적 인지를 통해 배기통 이탈을 감지하는 기술과 일산화탄소 경보기와 연동된 실내공기 환기시스템 기술을 도입한다면 일산화탄소 중독사고가 크게 감소될 것으로 판단된다. 제조 및 검사단계의 문제점을 보완하고, 올바른 설치 및 수리, 사용자의 배기통 이탈에 대한 관심이 더해졌을 때, 일산화탄소 중독으로 인한 인명사고를 예방하는데 효과적인 대책이 될 것으로 사료된다.

DeNOx experiments for the effects of hydrocarbon additives on diesel SNCR process were conducted under oxidizing diesel exhaust conditions. A diesel-fueled combustion system was set up to simulate the actual cylinder and head, exhaust pipe and combustion products, where the reducing agent $NH_3$ and $C_2H_6/diesel$ fuel additives were separately or simultaneously injected into the exhaust pipe, used as the SNCR flow reactor. A wide range of air/fuel ratios (A/F=20~40) were maintained, based on engine speeds where an initial NOx level was 530 ppm and the molar ratios (${\beta}=NH_3/NOx$) ranged between 1.0~2.0, together with adjusting the amounts of hydrocarbon additives. Temperature windows were normally formed in the range of 1200~1350K, which were shifted downwards by 50~100K with injecting $C_2H_6/diesel$ fuel additives. About 50~68% NOx reduction was possible with the above molar ratios (${\beta}$) at the optimum flow #1 ($T_{in}=1260K$). Injecting a small amount of $C_2H_6$ or diesel fuel (${\gamma}=hydrocarbon/NOx$) gave the promising results, particularly in the lower exhaust temperatures, by contributing to the sufficient production of active radicals ($OH/O/HO_2/H$) for NOx reduction. Unfortunately, the addition of hydrocarbons increased the concentrations of byproducts such as CO, UHC, $N_2O$ and $NO_2$, and their emission levels are discussed. Among them, Injecting diesel fuel together with the primary reductant seems to be more encouraging for practical reason and could be suggested as an alternative SNCR DeNOx strategy under diesel exhaust systems, following further optimization of chemicals used for lower emission levels of byproducts.
