A Promising new approach to achieve low pollutant emissions and improvement of flame stability is tested experimentally using a cyclone jet hybrid combustor employing both premixed and diffusion combustion mode. Three kinds of nozzle are tested for mixing enhancement of fuel and air. The LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) is used as a fuel. The combustor is operated by two methods. One is DC (Diffusion Combustion) mode generated swirl flow by air as general swirl combustor, and the other is HC (Hybrid Combustion) mode. The HC mode consists of diffusion jet flame of axial direction and premixed cyclone flame of tangential direction in order to stabilized the diffusion jet flame. The results showed that the flame stability of HC mode is significantly enhanced than that of DC mode through the change of mixing characteristics by modifications of fuel nozzle. In addition, the reductions of CO and NOx emission in HC mode, as compared with that for the DC mode, is large than about 50% in stable region. Also, even using the low calorific fuel as $CO_2$-blended gas, it is identified that the cyclone jet hybrid combustor has the high performance of flame stability.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the effects of configuration of burner and air excess ratio on CO & NOx emission characteristics of the cooktop burners which are used extensively. In this study, the combustion characteristics were investigated with the variation of design factor of cooktop burners. The results showed that as the thermal input increases, flammable region go narrower. With the increase of loading height from the cap to grate, the CO emission decrease owing to the reduction of quenching by flame impingement on the load. Additionally, the CO emission increase with angle of main slot, however the NO emission is almost unaffected.

아산화질소($N_2O$)는 각종 화학산업의 제조공정은 물론 유기 및 화석연료의 각종 연소공정으로부터 배출되는 대표적 온실가스이다. 온난화 효과는 $CO_2$의 310배에 달하고 성층권에 도달해서는 오존층을 파괴하는 물질이지만 화학적으로 매우 안정하여 분해처리가 쉽지 않다. 각종 환원제를 이용한 SCR 반응도 대부분 $450^{\circ}C$ 이상의 높은 온도를 요구하며 NOx 존재시에는 활성이 현저하게 떨어지는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 $N_2O$ 분해촉매의 실용화를 위한 기초연구로 진행되었으며, hydrotalcite형 화합물 전구체로부터 얻어진 혼합금속산화물촉매(MMO)와 CO 환원제를 이용한 $N_2O$ 분해에서 $SO_2$ 및 $NH_3$ 등 성분이 촉매의 반응성과 내구성에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 분석하여 실용화에 대비한 기본 자료로 삼고자 하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 MMO 촉매는 CO 환원제와 같이 사용할 경우 $N_2O$ 분해 성능이 크게 향상되어 $200^{\circ}C$ 근처에서도 완전히 분해되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 $NH_3$ SCR에 의한 NOx 분해반응의 경우와 달리 $SO_2$ 영향이 치명적으로 나타나지 않았고, $NH_3$에 의한 효과도 미미하여 촉매의 활성점을 공유하는 불순물 성분 정도의 영향에 불과한 것으로 판단되었다.

천연 가스는 공기 오염 물질을 거의 배출하지 않는 깨끗한 연료입니다. 이 연구의 목적은 CNG 버스용 NGOC/LNT(천연가스산화촉매/질소산화물흡장)촉매의 메탄과 질소산화물 동시 저감에 관한 연구로 메탄과 질소산화물 저감 성능 개선과 관련하여 조촉매, washcoat 담지량, 교반 시간 및 담체 종류에 대해 주로 초점을 두었다. 더구나, 니켈은 알칼리성의 독성 산화물이고 메탄에 영향을 미치는 효과가 있기 때문에, 3 wt% 니켈이 담지된 천연가스산화촉매는 일반적으로 메탄 전환율을 통해 우수한 메탄 감소 성능을 나타낸다. 담체에 담지량이 적으면 유해 가스의 흡장량이 충분치 않고 워시 코트가 너무 많이 담지되면 담체의 셀이 막히게 되었다. 촉매의 경제적을 고려할 때 촉매에 담지되는 양은 124g/L가 적절하다. 물질마다 5시간 동안 교반된 NGOC/LNT 촉매의 200에서 550도 까지 NOx 전환율은 2시간 동안 교반된 NGOC/LNT 촉매보다 전체 온도 범위에서 10-15% 우수한 성능을 보였다. 세라믹 담체의 NGOC/LNT 촉매는 메탈 담체보다 약 20% 수준의 높은 메탄 저감 성능을 나타냈다.

An experimental research with 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine was carried out to investigate the combustion and emission characteristics for various alternative fuels. The conventional diesel fuel, neat GTL, blends of 80% of GTL and 20% of biodiesel derived from waste cooking oil are utilized without any modification of engine hardware and ECU data. For GTL and blends of GTL/biodiesel fuel, the ignition delay decreased at the same operating conditions, and overall combustion duration increased slightly. Also, the peak cylinder pressure increased for blends of GTL/biodiesel compared to diesel and GTL fuel. THC and CO emissions with blends of GTL/biodiesel compared to other fuels decreased for the low and middle load conditions. But NOx emission increased due to oxygen content in biodiesel. The number concentrations of PM are higher for blends of GTL/biodiesel than other test fuels in the nucleation mode, while it had an opposite tendency in the accumulation mode, which implies more reduction of PM for blends of GTL/biodiesel on the base of mass concentration.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the emission characteristics for various alternative fuels in a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbo-charged diesel engine. The conventional diesel fuel, neat GTL (Gas to Liquid), blends of diesel and biodiesel(BD20), and blends of GTL and biodiesel(G+BD20 and G+BD40) were applied, and their emission characteristics were compared at various steady-state engine operating conditions. A noticeable reduction of exhaust emissions compared to conventional diesel fuel, except for NOx emission, was observed for G+BD40, where there is a maximum 30% averaged reduction for gaseous emissions (THC and CO) and 70% for PM mass concentrations. When comparing PM size distributions for biodiesel blended fuels, the PM number concentration in accumulation mode, where the diameter of PM is greater than 50 nm, decreased due to additional oxygen content in the biodiesel fuel; in nucleation mode, where the diameter of PM is less than 50nm, there was a slight increase or decrease in the PM number concentration depending on the amount of oxygen available in the combustion chamber.

To evaluate the durability characteristics of in-direct injection diesel engine using BDF 20(a blend of 20% biodiesel fuel and 80% diesel fuel in volume), an IDI diesel engine used to commercial vehicle was operated on BDF 20 for 300 hours. Engine dynamometer testing was completed at regularly scheduled intervals to investigate the combustion characteristics, engine performance and exhaust emissions. The engine performance and exhaust emissions were sampled at 1 hour interval for analysis. From the results, the combustion variations such as the combustion maximum pressure($P_{max}$) and the crank angle at which this maximum pressure occurs(${\Theta}_{Pmax}$) were not appeared during long-time dynamometer testing. Also, BSFC with BDF 20 resulted in lower than with diesel fuel. The peak pressure with BDF 20 was higher than that with diesel fuel due to the oxygen content in BDF. And, BDF 20 resulted in lower emissions of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and smoke emissions with a little increase of oxides of nitrogen than diesel fuel. It was concluded that there was no unusual deterioration of the engine, or any unusual change in exhaust emissions during the durability test of an IDI diesel engine using BDF 20.

In order to reduce exhaust omissions of spark ignition engine, it is important not only to improve catalyst conversion efficiency but also to directly reduce engine out exhaust emissions, during cold starting and warm up process. Therefore many researchers have been attracted to develop an early fuel evaporator(EFE) by Introducing a ceramic heater fur a solution of engine out exhaust emissions in SI engine. But, the performance of the EFE in MPI engine to reduce the exhaust emissions and to improve the cold startability has not been clarified yet. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a glow plug far EFE. Impinging spray using heated and unheated glow plug helps the vaporization of the fuel and heat up the three way catalyst sufficiently. The amount of CO, and UHC is reduced overall. The amount of NOx is higher at the initial stage, but become lower as time goes on than without glow plug.

Intake air conditions, such as air temperature, pressure, and humidity, are very important parameters that influence engine performance including combustion and emissions characteristics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of intake air temperature on combustion and exhaust emissions characteristics in a single cylinder diesel engine. In this experiment, an air cooler and a heater were installed on the intake air line and a gas flow controller was installed to maintain the flow rate. It was found that intake air temperature induced the evaporation characteristics of the fuel, and it affects the maximum in-cylinder pressure, IMEP(indicated mean effective pressure), and fuel consumption. As the temperature of intake air decreases, the fuel evaporation characteristics deteriorate even as the fuel temperature has reached the auto-ignition temperature, so that ignition delay is prolonged and the maximum pressure of cylinder is also reduced. Based on the increase in intake air temperature, nitrogen oxides(NOx) increased. In addition, the carbon monoxide(CO) and unburned hydrocarbons(UHC) increased due to incomplete fuel combustion at low intake air temperatures.

The purpose of this work is an experimental investigation of combustion and emission characteristics in DI diesel engine applied high EGR rate as a method of low-temperature combustion. In order to analyze the effect of EGR rate variation, a single-cylinder DI diesel engine was operated under various EGR rate conditions. In addition, injection timing was variously controlled to investigate the effect of injection timing in DI diesel engine using the cooled-EGR system. The NOx emissions were decreased in accordance with the increase of EGR rate. On the contrary, soot emissions were generally increased under applied EGR conditions. However, soot emissions were decreased in a few injection timings under high EGR rate conditions. The EGR results show that the ignition delay were increased by decreased oxygen concentrations in combustion chamber under the high EGR rate.
