The purpose of this study is to obtain low-emission and high-efficiency by hydrogen enriched LPG fuel in LPG engine and is to clarify the effects of hydrogen enrichment in LPG fuelled engine on exhaust emission and performance. An experimental study was carried out to obtain fundamental data for performance and emission characteristics of hydrogen enrichment in LPG engine. The research was held by changing the hydrogen ratio to 0, 5, 10, 20% in 1500rpm, bmep 2 and 4bar. The result turned out that the combustion duration was shortened due to fast flame propagation of hydrogen. And the amount of Carbon dioxide and Hydrocarbon decreased. However, the amount of NOX increased, which is thought to be the result of high adiabatic flame temperature of hydrogen. It has been confirmed that this phenomenon has changed by the Hydrogen mixing ratio.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the effects of partially premixing, varying the equivalence ratios from $1.36{\sim}{\infty}$, and swirlers with swirl numbers of 0, 0.28, 0.64, and 1.32, on the characteristic of radical ($OH^{\ast}$, $CH^{\ast}$, and $C_2^{\ast}$) and pollutant emission in partially premixed swirling flames. The signal from the electronically excited state of $OH^{\ast}$, $CH^{\ast}$, and $C_2^{\ast}$ was detected through a band pass filter with a photo multiplier tube, and flow fields images were detected through a schlieren system. The results demonstrated that the flame height decreases and jet spreading angle increase with increasing a swirl number. The more momentum ratio and swirl number increase, the more decrease flame height, and the generation of sooting flame is promoted.

디젤기관에서 배출되는 유해배출성분인 NOx(Nitrogen oxides)와 PM(Particulate matter)은 기관 실린더내의 혼합기 분포에 의해 그 생성이 지배된다. 이 때문에 그 유해배출물들을 저감하기 위해서는 연소의 전단계인 혼합기 분포 및 그 생성과정의 해석은 매우 중요하다. 디젤기관에서 노즐로부터 분사된 연료는 주위기체와 혼합기를 형성하는 과정에서 액체에서 기체로 상변화를 동반한다. 따라서 분무의 혼합기형성과정을 해석하기 위해서는 액상과 기상을 동시에 분리하여 계측하는 것이 필요하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 디젤분무를 대상으로 Melton 등이 제안한 엑시플렉스(Exciplex) 형광법을 이용하여, 분무의 액상과 기상을 동시에 2차원분리해서 가시화촬영을 행하였다. 그 엑시플렉스 형광법을 이용하여 획득한 이미지에 화상 응용해석을 실시하여 비정상증발디젤분무의 혼합기형성과정에 대한 정보를 얻고자 하였다. 엑시플렉스 형광법을 이용해서 증발분무의 거동측성을 해석한 결과 프랙틸해석을 이용한 분무 흐트러짐(Disturbance)의 평가에서 플랙틸차원은 분사압력의 변화에 관계없이 하나의 값, 약 1.1로 정리 할 수 있고, 그 결과 각 분사압력에 대한 분무 기상외곽곡선(외주)은 거의 동일한 정도의 요철형상을 갖는다.

Recently gasoline direct injection method has been applied to gasoline engine to reduce fuel consumption rate by controlling fuel air mixture on lean condition by means of stratified charging, and to reduce simultaneously. Pollutant emissions especially NOx and CO by lowering the combustion temperature. But difficulty of controling local fuel air ratio at ignition area in flammability limit unavoidably appeared, because it is merely controlled by injection timing with spatial and temporal distribution of fuel mixture. In this study, the authors devised a uniquely shaped combustion chamber so called three-chamber GDI engine, intended to keep the more reliable fuel air ratio at ignition area. The combustion chamber is divided into three regions. The first region is in the rich combustion division, where the fuel is injected from the fuel injection valve and ignited by the spark plug. The second region is in the lean combustion division, where the combustion gas from the rich combustion division flows out and burns on lean condition. And the last region is in the main combustion division ie in the cylinder, where the gas from the above two combustion divisions mixed together and completes the combustion during expansion stroke. They found that the stable range of operation of three-chamber GDI engine on low-load condition exists in the lean area of average equivalence ratio. And they also found that the reformed engine reveals less specific fuel consumption and less pollutant emissions compared with conventional carburettor type gasoline engine.

As the severity of environmental pollution has increased, restrictions on air pollution have been strengthened. Stringent regulations have been imposed, not only on marine diesel engines but also on automotive and industrial power plants. Thus, biofuels have been directly applied in practical engines and used in training ships for basic research. Even though a high biofuel percentage cannot be used in a training ship engine for safety reasons, because this type of engine is larger than those used in institutional laboratories, the results will provide important basic information that will allow organizations to determine the status of a large output. Biodiesel fuel was studied to determine how it would affect the combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions of a marine diesel generator engine. The main results can be summarized as follows. Because the physical and chemical compositions of biofuels are similar to those of diesel fuel, it was found that their practical use was possible in a training ship. The specific fuel consumption and NOx increased, whereas a tendency was found for carbon monoxide and soot to decrease. In addition, no significant pressure change difference was found between the diesel fuel and biofuels.

석탄가스화 복합발전(IGCC; Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) 은 석탄을 연료로 사용하면서 NOx, SOx 등 오염물 발생량이 적고 가스터빈을 채용한 복합발전 방식으로 효율이 높은 청정에너지 발전방식이다. 특히 우리나라와 같이 전력생산 분야에서 석탄화력의 비중이 높은('99년 6월 현재 27.8%(한전통계자료)) 우리나라에서 급격히 강화되는 석탄화력발전소에 대한 오염물 배출량 제한에 대처하기 위해 기존 석탄화력의 대안으로써 석탄가스화 복합발전이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서 국내에 IGCC 상용설비 도입에 대비하여 참조플랜트로서 Texaco 가스화공정을 채용한 2 case의 IGCC 시스템 연구를 수행하였다.(중략)

Multiple devices have been installed to reduce exhaust emissions and to increase thermal efficiency. Those devices reduce the exhaust pipe opening area and increase the exhaust gas pressure. The pressure increase disturbs a gas flow and has a bad effect on the engine performance. However there is some study that NOx can be reduced with exhaust gas pressure increase. In this study an engine performance is tested with various opening ratios. The result shows that the fuel consumption rate is reduced in case of little amount of the pressure increase, and NOx is reduced with the pressure increase, while the concentration of the toxic exhaust gases are increased in the case of high back-pressure.

In this study, a 0D multizone spray-combustion model is developed for the estimation of the performance and NOx emission of medium-sized direct-injection marine diesel engine. The developed combustion model is coupled with the commercial 1D cycle-simulation model, Boost, to analyze the entire engine system, including the intake and exhaust. The combustion model code was generated using Fortran90, and the model was coupled with Boost by connecting the generated code to a user-defined high-pressure cycle (UDHPC) interface. Simulation was performed for two injectors (8 holes and 10 holes) and two engine loads (50% and 100%), and the results of simulation were in good agreement with engine performance test.

Emission characteristics of nitric oxides and carbon monoxide from a porous media combustor has been experiment studied. The relationship between the change of flame shape and emission has also been examined. As the equivalence ratio decreases, the flame shape on the ceramic matrix plate changes from a diffusion flame, R(radiant)-type flame, to B(Blue)-type flame. With large fuel flow rate, R-type flame turns to be two dimensional R-II type flame around the equivalence of 0.7. Carbon monoxide emission increases very rapid with decreasing equivalence ratio. It changes a lot from some 10 ppm to 100-10,000 ppm with the change of flame type from R-I to R-II type. Nitric oxide emission from the premixed burner is less than 25 ppm over all range of fuel flow rate, which is less than 20% of NOx emission from conventional gas burners.

In this paper, the effect of oxygen component in fuel on the exhaust emissions has been investigated for a direct injection diesel engine. It was tested to estimate change of engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics for the commercial diesel fuel and oxygenated blended fuel which has seven kinds of mixed ratio. And, the effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on the characteristics of NOx emission have been investigated. Ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether(EGBE) contains oxygen component 27% in itself, and it is a kind of effective oxygenated fuel of mono-ether group that the smoke emission of EGBE blended fuel is reduced remarkably compared with commercial diesel fuel, that is, it can supply oxygen component sufficiently at higher loads and speeds in a diesel engine. It was found that simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx was achieved with oxygenated fuel and cooled EGR method.
