In this study, a spark ignition engine operated with LPG and DME blended fuel was studied experimentally. Performance and emissions characteristics of a LPG engine fuelled by LPG and DME blended fuel were examined. Results showed that stable engine operation was possible for a wide range of engine loads within 20% mass content of DME fuel. Also, engine output power within 10% mass content of DME fuel was comparable to pure LPG fuel operation. Exhaust emissions measurements showed that hydrocarbon and NOx were increased with the blended fuel at low engine speed. Engine output power was decreased and break specific fuel consumption (BSFC) was severely increased with the blended fuel since the energy content of DME was much lower than that of LPG. Considering the results of engine output power and exhaust emissions, the blended fuel within 20% mass content of DME could be used as an alternative fuel for LPG.

In this study, a spark ignition engine operated with LPG and DME blended fuel was studied experimentally. The effect of n-butane and propane on performance and emissions of a SI engine fuelled by LPG/DME blended fuel were examined. Stable engine operation was achieved for a wide range of engine loads with propane containing LPG/DME blended fuel compare to butane containing LPG/DME blended fuel since octane number of propane was much higher than that of butane. Also, engine output operated with propane containing blended fuel was comparable to pure LPG fuel operation. Engine output power was decreased and break specific fuel consumption (BSFC) was increased with the blended fuel since the energy content of DME was much lower than that of LPG. Considering the results of engine output power, bsfc, and exhaust emissions, the propane containing LPG/DME blended fuel could be used as an alternative fuel for LPG.

The liquid film thickness inside a pressure-swirl nozzle was measured, and then the measured liquid film thickness was compared with the results from previous empirical equations. The liquid film inside the nozzle was visualized using extended transparent nozzles and a microscopic imaging system, and then the measurement error was evaluated using optical geometry analysis. The high injection pressures up to 7MPa were adopted to simulate the injection conditions of the direct-injection spark-ignition engines. The totally different two injectors with different fuels, nozzle lengths, nozzle diameters and swirlers were utilized to obtain the comprehensive equations. The results showed that the liquid film thickness very slightly decreased at high injection pressures and the empirical equations overestimated the effect of injection pressure. Most of empirical equations did not include the effect of nozzle length and swirler angle, although it caused significant change in liquid film thickness. A new empirical equation was suggested based on the experimental results with the effects of fuel properties, injection pressure, nozzle diameter, nozzle length and swirler angle.

This study compared exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and excess air strategies for improving thermal efficiency and emissions of hydrogen combustion engines at low-load operation. The experimental investigation was conducted in a single-cylinder, heavy-duty engine under throttling and wide-open throttle (WOT) conditions. Although both EGR and excess air strategies reduced peak heat release rates and increased combustion durations, the net indicated thermal efficiencies were improved by reducing the pumping losses. Under the constraint of similar nitrogen oxides emissions, the EGR strategy had higher net indicated thermal efficiencies compared to the excess air strategy in throttling operation. However, the difference between their thermal efficiencies was reduced under WOT condition. The trend of reducing nitrogen oxides emissions according to the two strategies was similar.

스파크 점화기관의 연소과정 해석은 엔진성능분석 및 예측의 핵심이며 배기가스 배출과도 밀접히 연관된다. 스파크 점화기관의 연소해석을 수행하기 위해 연소실 압력 측정, 유사 차원 해석, 3차원 유동 및 연소 해석을 수행하여 결과를 비교하였다. 이들 방법은 서로 일치하는 경향을 보이며 상호간의 장단점을 보완하는 역할을 할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 시도의 첫번째 결과로서 계속적인 비교 연구가 수행될 예정이다.

본 논문은 단기통 4사이클 전기점화기관에서 가스교환 과정이 체적효율에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구한 것이다. 가스교환 과정의 수학적 모델을 설정하고 수치해석을 수행한 결과 체적효율은 가스교환과정과 관련되는 밸브 개폐시기(1,2)보다는 흡배기관의 압력에 의하여 더 큰 영향을 받는 다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 실험에 있어서는 각각 밸브 개폐시기가 다른 3종류의 캠을 사용하였 으며 수치 해석결과와 실험결고가 비교적 잘 일치하였다.

본 고에서는 녹킹현상과 녹킹 발생의 결과, 그리고 녹킹과 연료와의 관계등에 대해 개략적으로 설명하려 한다. 녹킹 발생 유무는 흡입공기상태, 스로틀 열림정도, 연소실 형상, 스파크 점화시기, 화염 전파속도 및 연료의 자연 발화 특성에 관계되며 화염 전파속도와 end-gas에 있는 연로의 반응속도와의 경쟁이라 볼수 있다. 연료의 녹킹 발생에 대한 저항성을 나탄내는 척도가 옥탄가이며 옥탄가가 높을 수록 자연 발화하기 어려우므로 녹킹이 잘 일어나지 않는다.

국내외의 가연성 또는 인화성물질을 취급하는 대형설비에서의 폭발위험장소에 대한 안전관리는 기업의 지속가능경영과 신뢰를 바탕으로 한 지역사회와의 공존에 있어 매우 중요하다. 폭발위험장소의 안전관리는 크게 가연성 또는 인화성 물질의 누출을 제어하는 시스템과 이러한 가연성 또는 인화성물질이 누출되어 폭발분위기를 형성할 때 점화원을 제어함으로써 화재 또는 폭발사고로 전이되지 않도록 하는 방폭시스템이 있다. 제도와 기술로 인해 전기적 점화원에 대한 방폭설비는 상당히 보급되어 관리되고 있다. 하지만 열적 점화원의 경우, 위험성에 대한 인식과 관련 기술개발이 미흡하다. 본 연구는 잠재적 폭발위험장소에서 내연기관의 점화 위험을 보고하기 위하여 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 문헌조사를 통하여 관련 국제표준과 사고사례 및 위험분석보고서를 연구하고, 국내 중부권 공정안전관리제도 대상 사업장의 디젤엔진의 불꽃방지기 등 안전장치 적용실태를 조사하였다. 실제적으로 본 연구결과를 석유화학 산업에 적용함에 있어, 디젤엔진과 같은 내연기관 점화원의 위험인식을 통해 잠재적 폭발위험장소에서의 폭발방지에 대한 안전관리방안으로 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

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.

Lean combustion and exhaust emission characteristics in a ethanol fueled spark-ignited engine according to ethanol-gasoline fuel blending ratio were investigated. The test engine was $1591cm^3$ and 10.5 of compression ratio SI engine with 4 cylinders. In addition, lambda sensor system was connected with universal ECU to control the lambda value which is varied from 1.0 to 1.5. The engine performance and lean combustion characteristics such as brake torque, cylinder pressure and rate of heat release were investigated according to ethanol-gasoline fuel blending ratio. Furthermore, the exhaust emissions such as carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbon (HC), nitrogen oxides ($NO_x$) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) were measured by emission analyzers. The results showed that the brake torque, cylinder pressure and the stability of engine operation were increased as ethanol blending ratio is increased. Brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) was increased in higher ethanol blending ratio while brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) was decreased in higher ethanol blending ratio. The exhaust emissions were decreased as ethanol blending ratio is increased under overall experimental conditions, however, some specific exhaust emission characteristics were mainly influenced by lambda value and ethanol-gasoline fuel blending ratio.
