The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) with diesel particulate filter(DPF) on heavy duty diesel engine. The exhaust gas was recirculated to the intake manifold after the smoke was eliminated in the DPF, The major conclusions of this research are i)at each engine speed EGR ratio was able to 60% maximum ii) the amount of NOx emissions was decreased to 90% at high engine load and to more than 60% at low engine load and iii) the amout of NOx emissions was increased to five times according to the increase of engine load but the effect of EGR is more effective at high engine load.

Mixture formation is one of the important factors to improve combustion performance of MPI gasoline engines. This is affected by spray and atomization characteristics of injector. Especially, in the case of EGI system, air-fuel mixing period is too short and formed a lot of fuel-film in the intake manifold and cylinder wall. This fuel-film is not burnt in cylinder, it is exhausted in the form of HC emission. In this paper, spray characteristics such as size distributions, SMD, and spray angle are measured by PMAS, and the fuel-film measuring device is developed specially. Using this device, the amount and distribution of fuel-film which flows into through valve can be measured Quantitatively. As the result of these experiments, the information of optimal spray characteristics and injection condition that minimize the fuel-film can be built up.

Essentially combination of spark ignition and compression ignition engines, the HCCI engine exhibits low NOx and Particulate Matter (PM) emissions as well as high efficiency under part load. This paper is concerned with the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine as a new concept in engines and a power source for future automotive applications. In this research, a 4 cylinder diesel engine was converted into a HCCI engine, and propane was used as the fuel. The purpose of this research is to show the effects of fuel flow rate and the temperature of the intake manifold on the performance and exhaust of an HCCI engine.

It has been a long time that black smoke emitted from buses and trucks powered with diesel engines, especially city-buses, came to be a serious air pollution problems in large cities as Seoul and Pusan. Therefore, proper means to reduce black smoke from diesel engines have to be considered as soon as possible, because it will take quite a long time to replace major passenger transportation system in cites from city-buses to subway. This paper, as a study on the reduction of diesel black smoke, showes how the black smoke of diesel engines can be reduced at various loads and engine speed by supplying small amount of gaseous fuel as LPG into the intake manifold. Thermal efficiency has been also considered for users, and confirmed through the engine test.

Fuel spray in a gasoline engine is a significant factor for the decision of engine power, pollutant emission and the design of intake manifold system. Three kinds of fuel which has other physical properties are chosen in this study, and it is observed using an image processing method that the mechanism and structure of free fuel spray with a throttle type gasoline injector, and the detailed characteristics of droplet size and velocity distributions are obtained by macro and micro-scopic measuring method respectively. It is verified that the initial breakup behaviors are depended on We like the result of Reitz's study, and also observed that the spray of octane and solvent with Re of 210~330 and 270~330 respectively are better than ethanol which has relatively high density and viscosity.

In this study an air flow meter was developed for MPI engine using ultrasonic sensors. The major characteristcs of the ultrasonic flow meter are high speed response, flow direction recognition and linear output. The air flow rate measurements were conducted at upstream of the throttle and intake manifold. The characteristics of the ultrasonic flow meter are compared with those of the Bosch hot wire flow meter at both steady and unsteady engine conditions.

최근 자동차 배기가스 규제가 더욱 강화됨에 따라 완전 연소를 통한 배기가스 저감에 관하여 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히, 고온 연소시 문제가 되는 질소 산화물의 저감을 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 질소 산화물을 저감하는데 효과적인 EGR 기술의 도입이 보편화되고 있지만, 각 실린더별 EGR 분배 특성에 따라 엔진의 성능이 달라지는 역효과가 발생한다. 시제품을 동한 EGR 분배특성 파악은 비용과 시간 측면에서 상당한 난제가 산재해있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 실험시간과 비용 절감을 위하여 1D 성능해석 프로그램인 GT-Power를 적용 EGR의 분배특성을 예측하였다.

A mathematical model and control laws for an Electronic-Vacuum Booster (EVB) for application to vehicle cruise control will be presented. Also this paper includes performance test result of EVB and vehicle cruise control experiments. The pressure difference between the vacuum chamber and the apply chamber is controlled by a PWM-solenoid-valve. Since the pressure at the vacuum chamber is identical to that of the engine intake manifold, the output of the electronic-vacuum booster Is sensitive to engine speed. The performance characteristics of the electronic-vacuum booster have been investigated via computer simulations and vehicle tests. The mathematical model of the electronic-vacuum booster developed in this study and a two-state dynamic engine model have been used in the simulations. It has been shown by simulations and vehicle tests that the EVB-cruise control system can provide a vehicle with good distance control performance in both high speed and low speed stop and go driving situations.

실제의 흡기관에서는 단면이 일정한 직관이 아니며, 피스톤기관의 흡기관은 단면변화가 불가피하여 액적은 소성으로 인한 관벽과의 충돌로 부착하게 되고 액적부유율은 더욱 작게 된다는 D.A. Trayser, W.E. Ranz등의 보고가 있다. 또 보제행남들은 액막류의 발생이 유해배기 가스를 증가시키고 액막류의 감소는 기통사이의 연료분배의 불균일도를 저하시키므로 NOx, HC, CO가 크게 감소된다고 보고하였다. 이와같이 액막유의 존재는 각 실린더에 유입하는 연료의 질적차이를 가져오기 때문에 액막유를 분리제거하는 방법의 연구도 많이 이루어지고 있으나 아직 실용상에 문제가 많은 것으로 남아있다. 따라서 본 고에서는 이와같이 문제되고 있는 흡기관내 액막유동의 거동을 고찰하기 위하여 액막두께 변동을 측정하는 방법에 대하여 저자들이 사용하였던 방법과 그외 초음파를 이용한 액막두께 측정법을 소개하고자 한다.

In this paper the structure of an engine and its interaction are investigated by a mathematical model for the performance evaluation. The total system is composed of air-fuel inlet element, intake manifold, combustion, engine dynamics and emission. Their control functions are schematically evaluated. Because of the model constructure with general engine functions and computer simulation of the chosen engine, physical characteristics of the corresponding engine and the engine data of normal operation states are used. According to the study, it is possible to predict the mixture rate by the difference in the mass of fuel and air flowing into cylinder and to evaluate and trace dynamic characteristic of operation state under various operating conditions. The model characteristic under the transient operating condition to evaluate operating of actual engine through the result of simulation.
