The basic experiments for designing the effective gas turbine combustor were performed. There are several factors that define the characteristics of gas turbine combustor. Among them, experiment was focused on swirl effects by three types of swirler with different swirl numbers(0.0, 0.38, and 0.62). Particularly, an interest was concentrated on primary zone where the flame characteristics of total combustor was dominated strongly and secondary zone where the remaining unburned gas was reacted again or cooling effect was done according to degree of swirl intensity. For this study, following measurements have been carried out, that is, time mean and fluctuating temperature, exhaust gas composition including NO concentration, and ion current. From this study, it was found that swirl intensity affects largely not only flame style but also emission formation, furthermore that it is important to select proper swirl intensity.

This paper is the second part of several companion papers which compare the method of Air-fuel ratio(AFR) determination. In the previous paper, Eltinge chart was applied to the arbitrary fuel composition and the charts for gasoline, diesel, methanol, M85, liquefied petroleum gas(LPG), natural gas(NG), propane and butane were illustrated. In Eltinge chart, however, unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) is not used for determination of AFR. For improving accuracy, Eltinge suggested UHC compensation after the AFR reading in the chart. This compensation reduced the difference between real and reading value. In the compensation, however, the correction of oxygen and carbon dioxide is uncertain and there might be a mistake in conversion of UHC reading value. Therefore, the error is overestimated comparing with Spindt one which is most widely used. In addition, there is no comparison of the value with other useful methods. In this paper, the compensation of unburned HC was performed in Eltinge chart and the compensated value was compared with Spindts formula over wide range of AFR. The objects of investigating fuel are gasoline, methanol, NG and LPG. The result shows that Eltinge and Spindt method is flawlessly compatible and the difference between the two methods is under 0.3% in a λrange from 0.9 to 1.7. The method fur debugging instrumentation error is also presented.

본 연구는 대체연료 개발 및 국제환경규제에 대응하기 위하여, 노말데케인과 에탄올 혼합연료의 조성 및 온도 변화가 자착화 특성에 미치는 영향을 수치적으로 해석하였다. 해석용 프로그램으로는 CHEMKIN-PRO를 사용하였고, 반응모델은 LLNL모델을 이용하였다. 수치해석 결과를 통해 저온 연소 반응이 일어나는 1000K 이하에서는 에탄올의 몰 비율이 증가함에 따라 점화지연 시간이 증가하는 현상을 확인하였다. 에탄올의 높은 옥탄가로 인해 에탄올의 높은 비율은 점화를 일으키는 OH라디칼의 농도 증가를 지연시키기 때문이다. 배기가스 재순환을 적용하기 위해 혼합연료에 산소농도를 변화하여 수치해석을 하였다. 산소농도가 감소함에 따라 전체 점화지연시간은 증가하게 되고, 이는 질소가스가 연소실 내에 열부하로 작용하기 때문이다.

Combustion of low concentration VOC in inert gas around the flammability limit has been experimentally studied. Streams of nitrogen and propane mixture with various compositions and flow conditions were treated by a turbulent partially-premixed pilot flame. HC and CO contents in exhaust gas measured and the flow patterns were visualized. The results suggested that there exists an optimal mixture velocity range for efficient combustion treatment for each flow condition and composition of the mixture.

In this study, a previous DNPH (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to measure the concentration of formaldehyde in ambient and source environments has been improved. To improve the disadvantage of the previous HPLC method, an appropriate composition ratio of mobile phase (water: acetonitrile (ACN)) was determined and an isocratic analysis was conducted. Furthermore, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation(LOQ), accuracy, and precision were investigated to verify the reliability of the analytical conditions determined. Finally, samples of exhaust gases from five different industrial facilities were applied to HPLC analytial method proposed to determine their formaldehyde concentrations. The appropriate composition ratio of the mobile phase under the isocratic condition was a mixture of water(40%) and ACN(60%). As the volume fraction of the organic solvent ACN increases, retention time of the formaldehyde peak was reduced. Detection time of formaldehyde peak determined using the proposed isocratic method was reduced from 7 minutes(previous HPLC method) to approximately 3 minutes. LOD, LOQ, accuracy, and precision of the formaldehyde determined using standard solutions were 0.787 ppm, 2.507 ppm, 93.1%, and 0.33%, respectively, all of which are within their recommended ranges. Average concentrations of the formaldehyde in five exhaust gases ranged from 0.054 ppm to 1.159 ppm. The lowest concentration (0.054 ppm) was found at samples from waste gas incinerator in a bisphenol-A manufacturing plant. The highest was observed at samples from the absorption process in manufacturing facilities of chemicals including formaldehyde and hexamine. The analytical time of the formaldehyde in ambient air can be shortened by using the isocratic analytical method under appropriate mobile phase conditions.

This paper describes emission control of hydrocarbon and carbon-monoxide due to oxidizing catalyst. The experiment was performed on a precious metal pelleted catalyst(Pt). The factors of the efficiency for purification due to oxidizing catalyst are space velocity, temperature, composition of exhaust gas and supplementary air. The experiment was carried out to control the factors of efficiency for purification. The results of experimental study show that temperature of catalytic converter, supplementary air and space velocity affected the efficiency for purification of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide.

This work reviews the effects of catalyst formulation and exhaust gas composition on soot oxidation in CDPF (Catalytic Diesel Particulate Filter). DOC's (Diesel Oxidation Catalysts) have been loaded with Pt catalyst (Pt/$Al_{2}O_3$) for reduction of HC and CO. Recent CDPF's are coated with the Pt catalyst as well as additives like Mo, V, Ce, Co, Fe, La, Au, or Zr for the promotion of soot oxidation. Alkali (K, Na, Cs, Li) doping of metal catalyst tends to increase the activity of the catalysts in soot combustion. Effects of coexistence components are very important in the catalytic reaction of the soot. The soot oxidation rate of a few catalysts are improved by water vapor and NOx in the ambient. There are only a few reports available on the mechanism of the PM (particulate matter) oxidation on the catalysts. The mechanism of PM oxidation in the catalytic systems that meet new emission regulations of diesel engines has yet to be investigated. Future research will focus on catalysts that can not only oxidize PM at low temperature, but also reduce NOx, continuously self-cleaning diesel particulate filters, and selective catalysts for NOx reduction.

The static and dynamic behaviour of VGT and EGR systems has a significant impact on overall engine performance, fuel economy and exhaust emissions. This is because they define the state and composition of the air charge entering the engine. This work focused on the effect of the aperture ratio of VGT and EGR on the emission and flow characteristics under partial loads conditions. The investigation carried out using 2 liter PCCI 4 cylinder diesel engine with VGT and EGR. The result of this study shows that smoke increases with increasing EGR rate and NOx decreases with increasing EGR rate. It was also found that the residual gas contents greatly impact on soot emission under partial load condition. Finally, it can be concluded that VGT and EGR aperture ratio can greatly impact not only on soot and NOx but also air charging.

Taking into account the increasingly stringent legislation on emissions from marine engines, this work aims to analyze several internal engine modifications to reduce $NO_x$ (nitrogen oxides) and other pollutants. To this end, a numerical model was employed to simulate the operation cycle and characterize the exhaust gas composition. After a preliminary validation process was carried out using experimental data from a four-stroke, medium-speed marine engine, the numerical model was employed to study the influence of several internal modifications, such as water addition from 0 to 100% water to fuel ratios, exhaust gas recirculation from 0 to 100% EGR rates, modification of the overlap timing from 60 to $120^{\circ}$, modification of the intake valve closing from 510 to $570^{\circ}$, and modification of the cooling water temperature from 70 to $90^{\circ}C$. $NO_x$ was reduced by nearly 100%. As expected, it was found that, by lowering the combustion temperature, there is a notable reduction in $NO_x$, but an increase in CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons) and consumption.

본 연구는 천연가스를 기반으로 하는 가스연료 자동차의 연비산출방법에 대해 미국과 유럽의 기준을 조사하고 적합성을 분석하여 국내에 적합한 자동차 연비 산출방법을 도출하는데 목적이 있다. 탄소평형법으로 유도되는 연료소비율 산출은 연료의 탄소중량비와 자동차 배출가스중 탄소성분의 평형 관계식에 의해 유도된다. 미국기준은 시험가스 조성의 제한이 없지만 유럽 기준은 기준 시험가스(G20, G23)를 사용하여야 한다. 국내 도시가스를 사용하는 NGV의 경우 유럽기준을 적용하면 시험가스의 차이로 연비가 약 12% 불리하게 나오는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 연비 산출시 필요한 연료물성을 발열량으로부터 결정하는 방법을 소개하고 이러한 방법을 기반으로 국내 천연가스 자동차 연비 산출방법을 제시하였다.
