Turbocharger bearings are under the circumstance of high temperature, moreover rotated at high speed. It is necessary to be designed to overcome the high temperature. So the type of oil inlet port, the inlet oil temperature and the sort of engine oil should be designed, controlled and selected carefully in order to reduce the bearing inside temperature. Therefore, in this study, the effects of the type of inlet oil port, inlet temperature and the sort of engine oil on the performance of a turbocharger bearing are to be investigated. It is found that the type of oil inlet ports, the control of inlet oil temperature and the selection of engine oil type play important roles in determining the temperature and pressure, then the friction and load of a turbocharger journal bearing at high speed operation.

So the type of oil inlet port, the inlet oil temperature and the sort of engine oil should be designed, controlled and selected carefully in order to reduce the bearing inside temperature. In this study, the influence of aerated oil on a high-speed journal bearing is also examined by using the classical thermohydrodynamic lubrication theory coupled with analytical models for viscosity and density of air-oil mixture in fluid-film bearing. Convection to the walls and mixing with supply oil and re-circulating oil are considered. The considered parameters for the study of bubbly lubrication are oil inlet port's type, oil aeration level and shaft speed. It is found that the type of oil inlet ports and shaft speed play important roles in determining the temperature and pressure, then the friction and load of journal bearing at high speed operation. Also, the results show that, under extremely high shaft speed, the high shear effects on aerated oil and the high temperature effects are canceled out each other. So, the bearing load and friction show almost no difference between the aerated oil and pure oil.

Also, the results show that, under extremely high shaft speed, the high shear effects on aerated oil and the high temperature effects are canceled out each other. So, the bearing load and friction show almost no difference between the aerated oil and pure oil.

Generally block imbedded type oil pump is adopted to make a small engine. In this paper 1D/3D numerical simulations were conducted to reduce energy consumption of the block imbedded type oil pump. At each stage of engine development we have estimated the oil flow rate and pressure to optimize oil pump sizes by using the 1D system analysis and then accomplished 3D CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations to optimize oil pump shapes including inlet/outlet port. As a result, the energy consumption of oil pump has been reduced to nearly 27% and the engine fuel consumption to $1{\sim}1.5%$.

군용항공기에 장착되는 연료/오일 열교환기는 연료의 저온을 이용하여 항공기 탑재부품 구동장치나 유압펌프와 같은 다른 장치에 공급되는 윤활유를 냉각시키는 장치로 항공기 탑재부품 구동장치로 연결되는 윤활유 유입포트에 균열이 발생되었다. 만일 열교환기의 균열이 발생될 경우 다른 장치에 공급되는 윤활유 냉각이 이루어지지 않아 더 이상 비행을 할 수 없기 때문에 해당 결함은 항공기 가동률 저하에 큰 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 군용항공기 연료/오일 열교환기 항공기 탑재부품 구동장치 오일포트 균열 현상을 개선하기 위해 오일 포트 균열부위 파단면에 대한 비파괴 검사와 현미경 검사를 수행하여 균열에 대한 경향성을 분석하였으며, 열교환기 오일포트에 연결되는 오일 배관은 티타늄 재질의 배관으로 열교환기에 장착 시 과도한 토크로 체결되어 열교환기 균열의 주된 원인으로 확인되어 유한구조해석을 통해 장착 토크 적용 시 열교환기에 과도한 힘이 전달되는 것을 검증하였다. 해당 결함에 대한 개선 방안으로는 항공기 탑재부품 구동장치 오일 포트에 장착되는 배관의 재질과 직경을 변경시켜 적용 토크 값을 열교환기 오일 포트에서 견딜 수 있는 값으로 조정하였으며, 또한 맥동압력으로 인한 피로누적을 최소화시키기 위해 배관의 굽힘값을 조정하였다. 결과적으로, 동일한 조건에서 개선된 배관을 장착하여 지상시험을 통해 열교환기에 균열이 발생되지 않는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study aims at the optimal design of rotors and the development of screw type Supercharger of CNG-fueled engine for commercial vehicle. Based on the new rotor profile, an advanced oil free type Supercharger has been developed, which can achieve higher adiabatic efficiency and lower manufacturing cost. The performance test of screw type Supercharger has achieved high volumetric efficiency and the durability on the bench of performance test has also been established in the compact body.
