Supercharging system was adopted to investigate the influence of boost pressure on operating range, brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and exhaust emissions by using a supercharger at low temperature diesel combustion (LTC) condition in a 5-cylinder 2.7 L direct injection diesel engine. The experimental parameters such as injection quantity, injection timing, injection pressure and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate were varied to find maximum operating range. The result showed that operating range with boost was expanded up to 41.9% compared to naturally aspirated LTC condition due to increased mixing intensity. The boosted LTC engine showed low BSFC value and dramatically reduced soot emission under all operating range compared with high speed direct injection (HSDI) mode. Finally, this paper presents the boosted LTC map of emission and the strategy of improved engine operating range.

A direct injection diesel engine with large amount of exhaust gas recirculation was used to investigate low temperature diesel combustion. Pilot injection strategy was adopted in low temperature diesel combustion to reduce high carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions. Combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions of low temperature diesel combustion under different pilot injection timings, pilot injection quantities and injection pressures were analyzed. Retarding pilot injection timing, increasing pilot injection quantity and higher injection pressure advanced main combustion timing and increased peak heat release rate of main combustion. As a result of these strategies, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions were reduced. Soot emission was slightly increased with retarded pilot injection timing while the effect of pilot injection on nitrogen oxides emission was negligible under low combustion temperature condition. Spatial distribution of fuel from the spray targeting visualization was also investigated to provide more insight into the reason for the reduction in carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions.

Compact steam boiler is a useful heat exchanger in a space-intensive system. There are some constraints in terms of sizing and designing the space confined in the system which is usually used in vessels. In this study, design considerations for heavy duty heat exchangers of compact steam boilers are presented and evaluated. Especially, evaporator tubes of marine boiler which are exposed to a high temperature environment are considered. Also, extended surface designs with a high temperature are examined. In order to determine the criteria with considerations of both heat transfer rate and pressure drop in the heat exchanger, they are evaluated with major variables, such as the tube diameter, the number of tubes, and the tube length. Finally, the design parameters are estimated as the bare tubes are installed instead of the finned tubes.

High purity Si powder was prepared in the system of $SiO_2-Mg$ combustion reaction. Various conditions of combustion reaction and leaching were investigated. As the particle size of Mg decreased and the compaction pressure increased the quantity of the unreacted power was decreased. In the acid leaching of MgO, increasing particle size, reaction temperature, rotating speed and reaction time made leaching effect low. Final Si powder produced by combustion and leaching reaction, has a high purity of 99.9% with irregular shape.

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine combines the combustion characteristics of a compression ignition engine and a spark ignition engine. HCCI engines take advantage of the high compression ratio and heat release rate and thus exhibit high efficiency found in compression ignition engines. In modern research, simulation has be come a powerful tool as it saves time and also economical when compared to experimental study. Engine simulation has been developed to predict the performance of a homogeneous charge compression ignition engine. The effects of compression ratio, cylinder pressure, rate of pressure rise, flame temperature, rate of heat release, and mass fraction burned were simulated. The simulation and analysis show several meaningful results. The objective of the present study is to develop a combustion characteristics model for a homogeneous charge compression ignition engine running with isooctane as a fuel and effect of compression ratio.

This study presents the performance test results and the analyses of the vitiated air heater with high temperature and high pressure. In the performance test, four test conditions and three rake measurement conditions were implemented. In the results of the performance test, the vitiated air heater met targets of temperature and flow rate, and the performance with maximum temperature of 2000 K and maximum combustion pressure of 40 bar was confirmed. Flow rate of provided methane increased 36% more than what was calculated, and 19.6% difference was displayed between measured temperature and theoretically calculated temperature.

The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of premixing condition on the combustion and exhaust emission characteristics in a HCCI diesel engine. To form homogeneous charge before intake manifold, the premixed fuel is injected into premixed tank by GDI injection system and the premixed fuel is ignited by direct injected diesel fuel. But in the case of high intake air temperature, premixed fuel is auto-ignited before diesel combustion and soot emission is increased. In the case of light load condition, the BSFC is improved by intake air heating because increased air temperature promoted the combustion of premixed mixture. NOx and smoke concentration of exhaust emissions are reduced compared to conventional diesel engine. The combustion characteristics of the HCCI diesel engine such as combustion pressure, rate of heat release, and exhaust emission characteristics are discussed.

This work presents an experimental investigation to study $NO_x$ emissions under stoichiometric air ratio and elevated pressure (2~10bar) in a High Press Combustor(HPC) equiped with double cone burner which was designed by Pusan Clean Coal Center(PC3). Exaust gas temperature and $NO_x$ emissions were measured at the end of the combustion chamber. The $OH^*$ radical concentration and $NO_x$ emission were decreased as a function of increasing ${\lambda}$ generally. On the other hand, $OH^*$ radical concentration and $NO_x$ emission increased with ${\lambda}$ pressure of the combustion chamber. $NO_x$ emissions which were governed by thermal $NO_x$, were highly increased under the elevated pressure, but slightly increased at sufficiently low fuel concentrations (${\lambda}>2.0$).

American NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) reported that BD20 could reduce PM, CO, SOx and cancerogenic matters by 13.6%, 9.3%, 17.6% and 13% respectively, compared to diesel fuel. BD20 has been being tested on garbage trucks and official vehicles at Seoul City, which is positive on air environment, but negative on combustion by higher viscosity in winter season. This study investigated the combustion characteristics by employing multi cavity piston for improving the deterioration of combustibility caused by the higher viscosity of the biodiesel fuel such as BD20 with the combustion flames taken by a high speed camera and the cylinder pressure diagram. A 4-cycle single cylinder diesel engine was remodeled to a visible 2-cycle engine for taking the flame photographs, which has a common-rail injection system. The test was done at laboratory temperature of about $4{\sim}5^{\circ}C$.

In recently designed diesel engines, the running conditions for piston pin bearings have become very severe due to combustion pressure and temperature increase. In this paper, it will be investigated the tendency of piston pin rotating motion by calculating the friction coefficient at piston pin bearings, the oil film thickness and the frictional torques induced by hydrodynamic shear stress. Finally, the pressure distributions on the oil film of piston pin bearings will be found by two-dimensional lubrication analysis in order to help the optimum design of the bearings of piston pin. Specially, it is investigated the effects on the film pressure distribution due to the change in maximum combustion pressure.
