When methane hydrate is artificially formed to store and transport large quantity of natural gas, its reaction time may be too long and the gas consumption in water becomes relatively low, the reaction rate between water and methane gas is low. Therefore, the present investigation focuses on the rapid production of hydrates and increases the gas consumption by injecting water into methane gas utilizing nozzle. the hydrate in water injection using a nozzle formed rapidly more than that in gas injection, and the gas consumption of methane hydrate in water injection is about three to four times greater than that in gas injection according to subcooling.

This study was carried out to investigate the injection characteristics of 800 kPa compressed natural gas compressed natural gas (CNG) injector developed in Korea. The CNG injector with multi-holes, employed in this experiment, was designed to inject CNG in the manifold at high pressure of 800 kPa. The spray macroscopic visualization test was carried out via Schlieren photography to study fuel-air mixing process. The fundamental spray characteristics, such as spray penetration, spray cone angle and spray velocity, were evaluated in the constant volume combustion chamber (CVCC) with varying the constant back pressure in CVCC from 0 to 1.8 bar. For the safety reason, nitrogen ($N_2$) and an acetone tracer were utilized as a surrogate gas fuel instead of CNG. The surrogate gas fuel pressures were controlled at 3, 5.5, and 8 bar, respectively. Injection durations were set at 5 ms throughout the experiment. The simulating events of the low engine speed were arranged at 1,000 rpm. The spray images were recorded by using a high-speed camera with a frame rate of 10,000 f/s at $512{\times}256pixels$. The spray characteristics were analyzed by using the image processing (Matlab). The results showed the significant difference that higher injection pressure had more effect on the spray shape than the lower injection pressure. When the injection pressure was increased, the longer spray penetration occurred. Moreover, the linear relation between speed and time are dependent on the injection pressure as well.

This paper deals with a study on combustion and emission characteristics of a direct injection diesel engine dual fueled with natural gas. Dual fuelling systems tend to emit high unburned fuel especially at low load, resulting in a decreased thermal efficiency. This is because natural gas-air mixtures are too lean for flame to propagate under low load conditions. Suction air quantity and injection timing controls are very useful to improve emissions and thermal efficiency at low load.

천연가스 연료는 매장량과 경제성 측면에서 미래 가치가 매우 높기 때문에 여러 가지 이용 기술 개발이 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며 내연기관을 이용한 발전 분야에서도 그 중요성이 점점 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 천연가스 연료를 이용하는 MW급 발전용 대형 왕복엔진의 경우 연료공급시스템의 고도화 개발이 필요한데 그 중에서도 천연가스 분사기의 개발은 실질적인 천연가스 연료 이용을 위한 핵심이다. 본 연구에서는 천연가스 분사기를 상부에 위치한 솔레노이드의 전자기력에 의해 구동되고 하부의 밸브 바디부 전기자와 이동판이 상하로 움직이는 구조의 분사밸브 형태로 고안 및 설계하였으며 이 시작품의 동특성을 엔진 흡기 모사 조건에서 실험하였다. 전기자의 변위와 지름을 변경해 가면서 실험을 수행하였는데, 그 결과 유량의 선형성이 잘 보장되고 1bar 의 차압에서 2ms 이내의 응답성으로 분사밸브가 열리는 결과를 얻었다. 가스 유량 또한 100Liter/min(@2Hz) 이상으로 충분하기 때문에 본 연구에서 고안한 천연가스 분사밸브는 요구되는 동특성 성능실험을 만족하였기 때문에 MW급 발전용 천연가스 엔진 연료공급시스템에 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper describes numerical study of combustion characteristics in CNG(compressed natural gas) DI(direct injection) engine using gaseous sphere injection model. Simulations were conducted using KIVA-3V Release 2 code. Gaseous sphere injection model, which is modified model of liquid fuel injection, was used to simulate the CNG direct injection. Until now, a very fine mesh smaller than the injector nozzle has been required to resolve the gas-jet inflow boundary. However, the gaseous sphere injection model simulates gaseous fuel injection using a coarse mesh. This model injects gaseous spheres as in liquid fuel injection and the gaseous spheres evaporate together without the latent heat of evaporation. Therefore, it does not require a very fine mesh and reduce calculation time. Combustion simulation were performed under various injection timings and injection pressures.

[ $1m^3$ ] solid hydrate contains up to $200m^3$ of natural gas, depending on pressure and temperature. Such large volume of natural gas hydrate can be utilized to store and transport large quantity of natural gas in a stable condition. So, in the present investigation, experiments carried out for the formation of natural gas hydrate governed by pressure, temperature, and gas compositions, etc.. The results show that the equilibrium pressure of structure II natural gas hydrate) is approximately 65% lower and the solubility is approximately three times higher than structure I methane hydrate). Also, the subcooling conditions of the structure I and II must be above 9K and 11K in order to form hydrate rapidly regardless of gas components, but the pressure increase is more advantageous than the temperature decrease in order to increase the gas consumption. And utilizing nozzles for spraying water in the form of droplets into the natural gas dramatically reduces the hydrate formation time and increases its solubility at the same time.

As an alternative fuel producing less exhaust emissions, natural gas is of interest for use both in SI and CI engines. The potential of natural gas fuelled dual-fuel engine is considered high enough. However, much effort has to be made so that gaseous fuel is used efficiently with simultaneous minimum use of pilot oil. Hence, a simplified three-dimensional model, using a finite volume method in cylindrical coordinates, has been developed to facilitate an understanding of the dual-fuel combustion phenomena and to predict the complex interactions between the pilot distillate and natural gas. The computer model was calibrated by comparing it with the experimental results obtained from diesel engine like combustion bomb tests. In the pre-mixed natural gas combustion, the fuel burning was highly reliant on the injection condition and subsequent burning nature of the pilot distillate.

최근 탈석유 에너지 이행의 목표가 분명해지는 가운데 천연가스가 가교연료로서 주목받고 있다. 천연가스는 옥탄가가 높아 압축비를 높여도 노킹이 일어나지 않기 때문에 열효율과 출력을 두루 향상시킬 수 있을 뿐 아니라 기존 내연기관 하드웨어 시스템에 천연가스 공급 시스템 적용을 비교적 용이하게 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 승용 가솔린 직분사 터보 엔진을 천연가스 포트분사식 터보 엔진으로 개조하여 터보가 작동되는 운전 영역에서 대상 엔진의 연소 및 성능을 종합적으로 측정 및 비교하였다.

The objective of the research was to study the effects a Miller cycle. The engine was dedicated to natural gas usage by modifying pistons, fuel system and ignition systems. The engine was installed on a dynamometer and attached with various sensors and controllers. Intake valve timing, engine speed, load, injection timing and ignition timing are main parameters. Miller Cycle without supercharging can increase brake thermal efficiency 1.08% and reduce brake specific fuel consumption 4.58%. The injection timing must be synchronous with valve timing, speed and load to control the performances, emissions and knock margin. Throughout these tested speeds, original camshaft is recommended to obtain high volumetric efficiency.
