Nowadays, to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the automotive driving system, the computer simulation linked up with VR(Virtual Reality) technology is treated as the useful method with the improvement of computing ability. In this paper, the VR simulation system has been developed to investigate the driving characteristics of the ASV(Advanced Safety Vehicle) equipped with an ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control) system. For the purpose, VR environment which generates 3D graphic and sound information of the vehicle, the road, the facilities, and the terrain has been organized for the driving reality. Mathematical models of vehicle dynamic analysis including the ACC model have been constructed for computer simulation. The ACC modulates the throttle and brake functions to regulate the vehicle speed so that vehicles could keep proper spacing. Also, the real-time simulation algorithm synchronizes vehicle dynamic simulation with the graphic rendering. With the developed VR simulation system, simple scenarios are applied to analyze the dynamic characteristics. It is shown that the VR simulation system could be useful to evaluate the adaptive cruise controlled vehicle on various driving conditions.

This research shows the test performance of a 6 kW-scale hybrid electric power system for the high endurance drone. The power system is composed of a two-stroke reciprocal engine, starter-generator and battery, and they are integrated as one power unit. The engine is designed to provide the house for holding the starter-generator at the end of a crankshaft in turn the engine and starter-generator can maintain the same speed during the operational period. In this way, the generated power is readily controlled by just manipulating an engine throttle movement. Moreover, the starter-generator can initiate an engine operation with an aid of battery power until the combustion process becomes stabilized. In consequence, integration mechanism between an engine and generator is simplified, which results in weight reduction achieved. The duty of back-up battery is to provide a starting power to generator via a system controller in addition to covering momentarily power shortage. Therefore, the electric power system is vindicated to provide 6 kW power through a ground test.

통상 제어기 설계용으로 개발되는 차량용 수퍼 차져의 동적 거동 모델은 경험식에 의존한 압축기 맵을 활용하고 있어, 실제 서지 현상의 발생에 따른 시스템의 영향과 거동특성을 모사하는데 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 수퍼 차져의 운전 동특성을 모사할 수 있는 해석기반 압축기 모델을 개발하고 운전 변동성에 따른 압축기의 운전 추이를 모사하고자 한다. 모델 개발은 SIMULINK$^{(R)}$ 환경에서 진행하고, 기준 동특성 모델은 Greitzer의 압축기 모델을 적용하였다. 해석 결과는 실험 결과와 비교 검증을 통해 모델의 타당성을 확인하였으며 운전 특성 변화에 따른 압축기 성능 및 서지 발생 가능성에 대해 확인 하였다.

본 연구에서는 butterfly valve주위의 비압축성 및 압축성유동 특성을 수치해석을 통하여 조사하였다. 밸브는 문제를 단순화시키기 위하여 평판 디스크로 간주하였으며, 다양한 디스크 각도 및 압력비 변화에 대한 계산을 수행하였다. 각도가 증가함에 따라 디스크 상류면의 정체점은 디스크의 중심으로 이동하는 것을 볼 수 있었고, 입구공기의 유입 속도는 감소함을 볼 수 있었다. 최고 유속은 디스크와 벽면사이에 형성되는 vena contracta 효과에 의해 생기는 목의 하류에서 형성됨을 볼 수 있었다. 압력비를 감소함에 따라 압축성 효과는 증대되며 유동이 초음속화 되면서 생성되는 강한 wall jet에 의해 shock cell structure가 형성되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 입구유량은 디스크 각도와 압력비의 증가에 따라서 감소하며, 압력손실계수는 디스크 각도의 증가 및 압력비의 감소에 따라 증가하였다.

This paper experimentally investigates the effects of oxygen-enriched air (OEA) on the running behaviors of an LPG SI engine during both start/warm-up (SW) and hot idling (HI) stages. The experiments were performed on an air-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, LPG SI engine with an electronic fuel injection system and an electrically-heated oxygen sensor. OEA containing 23% and 25% oxygen (by volume) was supplied for the experiments. The throttle position was fixed at that of idle condition. A fueling strategy was used as following: the fuel injection pulse width (FIPW) in the first cycle of injection was set 5.05 ms, and 2.6 ms in the subsequent cycles till the achieving of closed-loop control. In closed-loop mode, the FIPW was adjusted by the ECU in terms of the oxygen sensor feedback. Instantaneous engine speed, cylinder pressure, engine-out time-resolved HC, CO and NOx emissions and excess air coefficient (EAC) were measured and compared to the intake air baseline (ambient air, 21% oxygen). The results show that during SW stage, with the increase in the oxygen concentration in the intake air, the EAC of the mixture is much closer to the stoichiometric one and more oxygen is made available for oxidation, which results in evidently-improved combustion. The ignition in the first firing cycle starts earlier and peak pressure and maximum heat release rate both notably increase. The maximum engine speed is elevated and HC and CO emissions are reduced considerably. The percent reductions in HC emissions are about 48% and 68% in CO emissions about 52% and 78%; with 23% and 25% OEA, respectively, compared to ambient air. During HI stage, with OEA, the fuel amount per cycle increases due to closed-loop control, the engine speed rises, and speed stability is improved. The HC emissions notably decrease: about 60% and 80% with 23% and 25% OEA, respectively, compared to ambient air. The CO emissions remain at the same low level as with ambient air. During both SW and HI stages, intake air oxygen enrichment causes the delay of spark timing and the increased NOx emissions.

As an attempt to reduce the consumption of petroleum resources and to improve the performance of a kerosene engine, a series of experiments was conducted using several kinds of ethanol-kerosene blends under the various compression ratios. The engine used in this study was a single-cylinder, four-cycle kerosene engine having a compression ratio of 4.5. To investigate the feasibility of ethanol-kerosene blends in the original engine, kerosene and blends of 5-percent, 10-percent, and 20-percent-ethanol, by volume, with kerosene were used. And to investigate the feasibility of improving the performance of the kerosene engine, a portion of the cylinder head was cut off to increase the compression ratio up to 5.0 by reducing the combustion chamber volume. Kerosene and blends of 30-percent and 40-percent-ethanol, by volume, with kerosene were used for the modified engine with an increased compression ratio. Variable speed tests at wide-open throttle were also conducted at five speed levels in the range of 1000 to 2200 rpm for each compression ratio and fuel type. Volumetric efficiency, engine torque, and brake specific fuel consumption were determined, and brake thermal efficiency based on the lower heating values of kerosene and ethanol was calculated. The results obtained in the study are summarized as follows: A. Test with the original engine: (1) No abnormal conditions were found when burning ethanol-kerosene blends in the original engine. (2) Volumetric efficiency increased with ethanol concentration in blends. When burning blends of 5-percent, 10-percent, and 20-percent ethanol, by volume, with kerosene, average volumetric efficiency increased 1.6 percent, 2.6 percent, and 4.1 percent respectively, than when burning kerosene. (3) Mean engine torque increased 5.2 percent for 5-percent-ethanol blend, 9.3 percent for 10-percent-ethanol blend, and 11.5 percent for 20-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene. Increase in engine torque when using ethanol-kerosene blends was due to the improved combustion characteristics of ethanol as well as an increase in volumetric efficiency. (4) Up to ethanol concentration of 20 percent, mean brake specific fuel consumption was nearly constant inspite of the difference in heating value between ethanol and kerosene. (5) Brake thermal efficiency increased 0.3 percent for 5-percent-ethanol blend, 3.8 percent for 10-percent-ethanol blend, and 6.8 percent for 20-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene. B. Test with the modified engine with an increased compression ratio: (1) When burning kerosene, mean volumetric efficiency, engine torque, and brake thermal efficiency were somewhat lower than for the original engine. (2) Engine torque increased 15.1 percent for 30-percent-ethanol blend and 18.4 percent for 40-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene. (3) There was no significant difference in brake specific fuel consumption regardless of ethanol concentration in blends. (4) Brake thermal efficiency increased 15.0 percent for 30-percent-ethanol blend and 19. 5 percent for 40-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene.

레인지 익스텐더 전기자동차는 소형의 발전용 엔진이 가장 효율이 좋은 특정 운전영역에서 기동하여 배터리를 충전시키며 주행거리를 연장하는 메커니즘으로 주행한다. 본 연구에서는 저가이면서 제어 로직이 간단한 시스템을 개발하기 위하여 기존 쓰로틀바디시스템을 대체하는 스텝모터방식 흡입공기량 공급시스템을 개발하여 기존 base 엔진에 적용하고, 흡입공기량 증대를 통한 성능 개선을 위해 흡 배기다기관의 길이 변경 효과를 실험적으로 살펴보았다. 실험결과, 하나의 스텝모터로 작동하는 Type B의 흡입공기량조절장치가 Type A보다 전 운전영역에서 성능이 높았으나 유동저항의 증가로 base 엔진보다는 성능이 낮았다. 이를 개선하기 위해 흡기매니폴드에 140mm 어댑터를 장착한 경우와 새로 설계된 70mm 길이의 배기 매니폴드를 적용한 경우 2200rpm과 4300rpm 두 속도조건에서 엔진성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 최적 설계된 엔진을 대상으로 레인지 익스텐더 전기자동차에 적용 가능하도록 발전기 부하를 연결하여 2단 속도로 고정밀 운전제어를 구현하였으며 그 결과, 1단 2200rpm과 2단 4300rpm 운전조건에서 ${\pm}2.5%$ 이내의 속도변화율을 나타내었고, 1단 속도에서 2단 속도로 상승 시 610rpm/s의 목표속도 추종성 결과를 얻었다.
