The objective of this study is to predict the fuel efficiency of an agricultural tractor. The fuel efficiency of the tractor during rotary tillage was predicted using numerical modeling. A numerical model was developed using Simulation X. Based on tractor power flow, numerical modeling consisted of an engine, transmission, PTO (power take off), and hydraulics. The specifications of major components utilized in the numerical model were the same as those of a 71 kW tractor (field test tractor). The load that was inputted for fuel efficiency prediction into the simulation model was obtained from a field test. Fuel efficiency predictions were conducted by comparing field test results and simulation results. In addition, it was performed by dividing the rotary tillage and steering section. Main results are as follows: first, t-values of engine torque were measured to be 0.31 in the rotary tillage and 0.92 in the steering section. Second, t-values of fuel consumption were measured to be 0.51 and 5.41 in the rotary tillage and the steering section, respectively. Finally, t-values of fuel efficiency were measured to be 1.72 and 40 in the rotary tillage and the steering section, respectively. The results show no significant differences with t-values of less than 5% in the rotary tillage. But, it shows significant differences in the steering section. Therefore, simulation for accurate fuel efficiency prediction requires a suitable algorithm or detailed design of the simulation model in the steering section.

최근 선박의 배기가스 규제가 강화되면서 연료소비량을 저감하기 위한 많은 방안들이 검토되고 있다. 그중에서도 선박으로부터 수집한 데이터를 활용하여 연료소모량을 예측하는 기계학습 모델을 개발하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 수행되고 있다. 하지만 많은 연구들이 학습모델의 주요 변수 선정이나 수집데이터의 처리 방법에 대한 고려가 미흡하였으며, 무분별한 데이터의 활용은 변수 간의 다중공선성 문제를 야기할 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 주성분 분석을 이용하여 선박의 연료소비를 예측하는 방법을 제시하였다. 13K TEU 컨테이너 선박의 운항데이터에 주성분 분석을 수행하였으며, 추출한 주성분으로 회귀분석을 수행하여 연료소비 예측모델을 구현하였다. 평가용 데이터에 대한 모델의 설명력은 82.99%이었으며, 이러한 예측모델은 항해 계획 수립 시 운항자의 의사결정을 지원하고 항해 중 에너지 효율적인 운항상태 모니터링에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Ship owners had pursued higher benefits by demanding the new design and construction of ships with higher operational efficiency. There was a necessity for shipyards to suggest a more economical design and advanced operation concept in order to meet the demands. Especially, since BOG combustion and activation of the re-liquefaction unit had to be taken into account in ship design in addition to fuel oil and gas consumption, the evaluation of the operating efficiency considering the technological trends was necessary. In this paper, it was aimed to study the design philosophy and operation strategy by considering the effect of fuel oil and gas consumption, BOG combustion, and activation of the re-liquefaction unit on the operating cost for laden voyage according to ship speed, BOR, and activation of the re-liquefaction unit. For this purpose, the costs were acquired by conducting the sailing simulation of an LNGC based on a mathematical model including the maneuvering equations of motion. The design philosophy and operation strategy was reviewed in terms of the operating cost.

Natural gas is one of clean fuels that can replace petroleum-based fuels, because it has low exhaust emission, comparatively high thermal efficiency and abundant deposits. In this addition, owing to high octane number and wide lean flammability limit, it has a strong point to increase the compression ratio. For this reason, the research is being actively executed to increase the generating power and thermal efficiency of the engine by raising the compression ratio through utilization of high octane number relevant to development of CNG engine. In this study, 0.63L single cylinder diesel engine has been used to alter easily compression ratio. Compression ratio has gotten under control by modifying the thickness of gasket between cylinder head and block without major structural modifications. As the result, as compression ratio has increased, generating power and fuel consumption ratio have been improved. As for emission concentration, as compression ratio has increased, THC concentration has been decreased while exhause concentration of NOx increased. In case compression ratio has excessively increased, brake output decrease and cycle variation have been increased. As the result acquired by analyzing brake output, fuel consumption ratio, cycle variation and exhaust, the engine driving condition has acquired $\varepsilon=13$ as the optimal compression ratio in this study.

항공기 중량은 성능 및 연료효율성에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이다. 항공기의 개념 설계 단계에서는 요소 중량을 추정함에 중량 당 연료소모 비용과 같은 경험식을 이용하여 비용과 중량 간의 균형을 맞추는 과정을 수행한다. 또한, 항공사에서 항공기를 운용할 때 중량관리 활동을 통해 연료 효율성 향상 및 연료절감과 탄소저감을 추진한다. 항공기 중량 변화와 연료 소모 변화 사이의 연관성을 중량비용(Cost of Weight)이라고 하며, 중량비용은 항공기에 중량 추가 혹은 감소가 연료소모에 미치는 영향을 평가함에 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 중량비용 산정 방법의 문제점을 확인하고, 이를 해결하기 위한 새로운 방법의 중량비용 산정 방법을 소개한다. Breguet의 Range Formula와 A350-900 항공기의 실제 비행 데이터를 이용하여 이륙중량과 착륙중량 기반의 두 가지 중량비용을 산정한다. 결론에서는 이륙중량과 착륙중량 기반의 중량비용을 다른 용도로 사용함이 합리적임을 제시하였다. 특히, 착륙중량 기반의 중량비용은 유사 항공기 개념설계 단계에서 요소중량 추정 및 비용과 중량 최적화에 하나의 경험식으로 활용할 수 있다.

Recently, the internal combustion engines have focused on reducing both the CO2 emissions in order to cope with severe regulations for greenhouse effect. Therefore, various new technologies have been developed in many countries. Among them, the cooling system is spotlighted because it has great effect on fuel efficiency. However, the present engine cooling system is almost same as one of the 50 years ago. The needs for high performance and compact size make it important to improve engine cooling system, down-sizing and control method of coolant flow. Thus, low fuel consumption technology such as control and synthetic management of cooling system was necessary to satisfy with these needs. In this study, we applied electric thermostat to improve the fuel economy. The fuel consumption was compared after driving FTP-75 mode on both conditions which were with a conventional wax thermostat and with a electric thermostat. The coolant temperature of opening the electric thermostat is higher.

This paper discusses the energy consumption for a mid-size electric vehicle(EV) under various conditions. In order to analyze which driving style is more efficient in terms of the system of the EV, we develop the electric vehicle model and apply several types of speed profiles such as different steady speeds, acceleration/deceleration, and a real world driving cycle including the elevation profile obtained from a GPS device. The results show that the energy consumption of the EV is affected by the operating efficiency of components when driving at low speed, while it depends on required power at wheels when driving at high speed. Also this paper investigates the effect of the elevation of a road and the rate of electrical braking on the energy consumption as well as the fuel economy of a conventional vehicle model under the same conditions.

Trends of the automotive market require the application of new engine technologies, which allows for the use of different types of fuel. Since ethanol is a renewable source of energy and it contributes to lower $CO_2$ emissions, ethanol produced from biomass is expected to increase in use as an alternative fuel. It is recognized that for spark ignition (SI) engines ethanol has advantages of high octane number and high combustion speed. In spite of the advantages of ethanol, fuel supply system might be affected by fuel blends with ethanol like a wear and corrosion of electric fuel pumps. So the on-board hydrogen production out of ethanol reforming can be considered as an alternative plan. This paper investigates the influence of ethanol fuel on SI engine performance, thermal efficiency and emissions. The results obtained from experiments have shown that specific fuel consumption has increased by increasing ethanol amount in the blend whereas decreased by the use of hydrogen-enriched gas. The combustion characteristics with hydrogen-enriched gaseous fuel from ethanol reforming are also examined.
