In order to investigate the exhaust structure and secondary oxidation of unburned hydrocarbon (HC) in the exhaust port, concentrations of individual HC species were measured in exhaust process, the degree of oxidation were obtained. Using a solenoid-driven fast sampling system on single-cylinder research engine fueled with 94% propane, the profiles of unburned hydrocarbons (HCs) and non-fuel HCs with a propane fueled engine were obtained from several locations in the exhaust port during the exhaust process. The sampled gases were analyzed using a gas chromatography of HC species with 4 or lesser carbon atoms. The change of total HC concentration and HC fractions of major components through the exhaust port were discussed. The results showed that non-uniform distribution of HC concentration existed around the exhaust valve and changed with time, and that the exhaust gas exhibited nearly uniform concentration profile at port exit, which was due to mixing and oxidation. Also it could be known that bulk gas with relatively high HC concentration came out through the bottom of the exhaust valve. To estimate the mass-based degree of HC oxidation in the exhaust port from measured HC concentrations, a 3-zone diagnostic cycle simulation and plug flow modeling were used. The degree of oxidation ranged between 26 % and 36 % corresponding to the engine operation conditions.

A two-phase flow observed in a heat exchanger or nuclear power generation often has a profound effect on undesirable noise or flow characteristics. Void fraction, which refers to the ratio of gas (or liquid) to the total fluid, affects heat transfer coefficient, vibration and so forth. In other words, void fraction is one of most important parameters in two-phase flow since it contributes to comprehend the characteristics of two-phase flow. We developed a two-phase flow visualization system to measure cross-sectional and volumetric void fractions by using quick closing valves and image processing software. With this system, we could observe the plug, slug, and stratified flow patterns of two-phase flow and measure a myriad of void fractions. As a consequence of the experiment, we found that the estimated void fractions were largely coincident with the predictive values by Chisholm model.

Mixture formation is one of the significant factors to improve combustion performance of an spark ignition engine. This is affected by spray and atomization characteristics of injector. In the case of EGI system, air-fuel mixing period is so short that a lot of fuel-film and liquid-fuel flow into cylinder. Since this fuel-film is not burnt perfectly in cylinder, it is exhausted in the form of HC emission. In this paper, three measurement techniques were utilized to measure spray characteristics and the amount of fuel-film in the cylinder. At first, PMAS was used to measure the spray characteristics such as size distributions, SMD, and spray angle. Secondly the amount and distribution of fuel-film which flow into through intake valve could be measured quantitatively using the fuel-film measuring device. And lastly, by optical fiber type spark plug used to detect the diffusion flame, the amount of unburned HC was measured. As the result of these experiments, the information of optimal spray characteristics and injection condition to minimize fuel-film could be built up.

엔진의 제동시의 유효일을 이용하여 고압의 압축 공기를 저장하고 운전 시에는 저장된 압축 공기를 동력원으로 사용하는 신개념의 Air hybrid 엔진의 구현 가능성 검토를 위한 실험적인 연구를 진행하였다. Air hybrid 엔진 시스템의 구현을 위하여 연구용 단기통엔진을 개조하였고, 배기 밸브 중의 하나에 독립 가변 밸브리프트 시스템을 장착하여 압축 행정 동안에 고압의 공기를 저장할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 엔진의 구동을 위하여 점화플러그 위치에 공기 분사 모듈을 장착하여 팽창행정 중에 고압의 공기를 분사할 수 있도록 하였다. 압축 공기 저장 모드에서는 800rpm 아이들 조건에서 800 사이클 동안 30리터의 공기 저장 탱크를 최대 13 bar 까지 충전할 수 있었고, 충전된 고압의 공기를 이용하여 800rpm 아이들 조건에서 0.41 bar의 평균도시유효압력의 일을 얻을 수 있었는데 이것은 정상적인 아이들 조건보다 1.1 bar의 유효일이 증가한 것이다.

호기성의 Rhizopus japonicus와 혐기성 Zymomonas mobilis로 구성된 혼합고정화 배양계(R-Z계)를 제조하고, 생전분으로부터 에탄올 생산에 응용하였다. R. japonicus를 고정화배양하므로서 액체배양에서 보다 2배 높은 glucose량을 얻었다. R-Z계의 에탄올 생산량은 1.67g/L(Yp/s, 0.094)이 었지만, 배양 24시간째부터 산소공급을 억제한 R-Z 24계에서는 6.54g/L(Yp/s, 0.38)의 에탄올을 얻어 대조구의 약 4배를 향상시켰다. 회분배양에서는 5%의 기질 농도가 적당하였으며, 생산된 에탄올은 15.02g/L(Yp/s, 0.36)이었다. 2% 기질을 5회 첨가한 유가배양에서는 2%기질의 회분배양과 동등한 수율인 0.38을 얻었다.

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.
