Intake/exhaust valve timing and exhaust cam lift were changed to control the internal exhaust gas recirculation (IEGR) and combustion phase of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine. To measure the IEGR rate, in-cylinder gas was sampled during from intake valve close to before ignition start. The lower exhaust cam made shorter valve event than higher exhaust cam and made IEGR increase because of trapping the exhaust gas. IEGR rate was more affected by exhaust valve timing than intake valve timing and increased as exhaust valve timing advanced. In-cylinder pressure was increased near top dead center due to early close of exhaust valve. Ignition timing was more affected by intake valve timing than exhaust valve timing in case of exhaust valve lift 8.4 mm, while ignition timing was affected by both intake and exhaust valve timing in case of exhaust valve 2.5 mm. Burn duration with exhaust valve lift 2.5 mm was longer than other case due to higher IEGR rate. The fuel conversion efficiency with higher exhaust valve lift was higher than that with lower exhaust valve lift. The late exhaust and intake maximum open point (MOP) made the fuel conversion efficiency improve.

As world attention has focused on global warming and air pollution, high efficiency diesel engines with low $CO_2$ emissions have become more attractive. Premixed diesel engines in particular have the potential to achieve the more homogeneous mixture in the cylinder which results in lower NOx and soot emission. Early studies have shown that the operation conditions such as the EGR, intake conditions, injection conditions and compression ratio are important to reduce emissions in a PCCI (Premixed Charge Compression Ignition) engine. In this study a modified cam was employed to reduce the effective compression ratio. While opening timing of the intake valve was fixed, closing timing of the intake valve was retarded $30^{\circ}$. Although Atkinson cycle with the retarded cam leads to a low in-cylinder pressure in the compression stroke, the engine work can still be increased by advanced injection timing. On that account, we investigated the effects of various injection parameters to reduce emission and fuel consumption; as a result, lower NOx emission levels and almost same levels of fuel consumption and PM compared with those of conventional diesel engine cam timing could be achieved with the LIVC system.

In order to research engine characteristics of spark-ignited engine with intake valve closing timing change for Miller cycle, two cam for LIVC(Late Intake Valve Closing) were designed and fabricated an prototype valvetrain. And intake valve closing timing were adjusted to build low compressing and high expansion cycle for HEV. In experimental study, it were investigated with different engine speed, spark timing and air-fuel ratio to compare base cam and LIVC cam type. It was found that the volumetry efficiency and effective work of compression process were decreased in case of LIVC cam. When compared with the existing results, the maximum pressure in the cylinder was reduced about 12~13 bar and the volumetric efficiency was reduced about 16%.

Recently, with the high performance and efficiency of machine, there have been required the multi-functions in various machine parts, such as the heat resistance, the abrasion resistance and the stress resistance as well as the strength. Fatigue crack growth tests were carried out to investigate the fatigue characteristics of high carbon steel (SM53C) experienced by high-frequency induction treatment. The Cam nose part of the Automobile's Cam shaft is strongly bumped with rocker arm or valve-lift. Therefore abnormal wear such as unfair wear and early wear occur in the surface. This abnormal wear causes a defect that bad timing open and close actions of the engine valve happen in the combustion chamber so the fuel gas will be combustion imperfect. Therefore, the cam shaft demands high hardness and wear resistance. In this study, high frequency heat treatment has been accomplished while wear test for material SM53C.

VCT(Variable Cam Timing) system is one of very useful engine components to improve fuel economy and overcome emission regulation etc. In order to adapt the VCT to a base engine, many design mod ifications in the mechanical and lubrication fields are required. Especially, because the VCT performance itself depends on supplied oil flow rate and pressure, it is very important to evaluate the engine lubrication system in a viewpoint of supplied oil flow rate and pressure. In this paper, unsteady transient flow network analysis on the engine oil circuit system was carried out to do this.

A fuel injection system which is operated with a real vehicle driving simulation was developed as an alternative to a vehicle test for the fuel injectors. The sensor signals that are supplied to the ECU were measured and recorded as a data file for a vehicle driven in FTP-75 mode in a chassis dynamometer. The imperative sensor signals of the throttle position, vehicle speed, engine speed, crank position, cam position, intake air flow, and cooling water and intake air temperature were reconstructed using FPGA DAQ boards and a PXI computer. The scanning results showed good agreement with the input signals that were reconstructed. The ECU HILS system operated successfully to drive six fuel injectors, which injected fuel in the same pattern as if they were mounted in the vehicle driven in FTP-75 mode. Also, the fuel injection system developed in this research shows the possibility of application in evaluating the characteristics of fuel injection rate for injectors according to properties of injected fuel with the real driving mode of vehicles.

소형고속엔진에서 연료분사 시스템은 기화기시스템 보다 출력, 연료소비율, 배기가스 등에서 향상된 결과를 가져온다. 최근에 국내에서 연료분사시스템은 차량에 사용되지만 이륜차에서는 사용되지는 않는다. 엔진에서 EFI(전자식연료분사)시스템은 변화하는 회전수에 따라 ECU 에서 정확한 연료를 공급할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 이륜차에 사용되는 4valve SOHC 단기통 소형엔진에서 다양한 회전수에 맞는 엔진성능과 효율을 개선하기 위해 회전수별 연료분사효과를 고찰하였다.

In this study, a cycle simulation program of a Unit-Injection(UI) system was developed to estimate the injection performance of newly designed injection system. A fundamental theory of the simulation program is based on the conservation law of mass. Loss of fuel mass in the system due to leakage, compressibility effect of the liquid fuel and friction loss in the control volume was considered in the algorithm f the program. For the evaluation of the simulation program developed, the experimental result which was offered by the Technical Research Center of Doowon Precision Industry Co. was incorporated. Two main parameters; the maximum pressure in the plunger chamber and total fuel mass(kg) injected into the engine cylinder per cycle, were measured and compared with the simulation results. It was found that the maximum error rate of the simulation result to the experimental output was less than 3% in the rated rotational speed (rpm) range of the plunger cam.

A numerical algorithm is developed to analyze the performance of a Unit-injector (UI) System for a diesel engine. The fundamental theory of the algorithm is based on the continuity equation of fluid dynamics. The loss factors that should be seriously regarded on the continuity equation are the compressibility effect of liquid fuel, the wall friction loss in high-pressure fuel lines of the system, the kinetic energy loss of fuel in the system, and the leakage of fuel out of the control volume. For an evaluation of the developed simulation algorithm, the calculation results are compared with the experimental outputs provided by the Technical Research Center of Doowon Precision Industry Co. (DPICO) ； the maximum pressure in the plunger chamber (P$\_$p/) and total amount of fuel injected into a cylinder per cycle (Q$\_$f/) at each operational condition. The result shows that the average error rate (%) of P$\_$p/ and Q$\_$f/ are 2.90% and 4.87%, respectively, in the specified operational conditions. Hence, it can be concluded that the analytical simulation algorithm developed in this study can be reasonably applied to the performance prediction of newly designed UI system.

캠샤프트의 구동력을 활용한 기계식 연료펌프 시스템을 대체할 솔레노이드 격막 연료펌프는 최근 각광받고 있는 고효율 그린카 부품 중 하나이다. 하지만 솔레노이드 격막 연료펌프의 경우 왕복운동에 필요한 자속을 오직 솔레노이드에 의존하므로 전력소비가 비교적 큰 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전력소모를 최소화 하기 위하여 영구자석형 VCA 연료펌프 시스템을 제안한다. 또한 상용전자기해석소프트웨어인 MAXWELL을 활용하여 유한요소 해석을 통해 기존의 솔레노이드 격막 펌프와의 전력소모 및 동적 성능을 비교 분석한다.
