This study describes the effects of canola oil biodiesel (BD) blended fuel on the combustion performance and emission characteristics in a 4-cylinder common-rail direct injection diesel engine. In this study, with the increasing of engine loads, the biodiesel blend fuels(100 vol.% ULSD and 0 vol.% biodiesel blend, BD0; 80 vol.% ULSD and 20 vol.% biodiesel blend, BD20; 0 vol.% ULSD and 100 vol.% biodiesel blend, BD100; ULSD: ultra low sulfur diesel) were used at an engine speed of 1,500rpm. The experimental results showed that with the increasing of biodiesel blend rate, the combustion pressure decreased slightly at engine load of 20~60Nm. However, the rate of heat release (ROHR) increased clearly and ignition delay time was shortened. With the increasing of biodiesel blend rate, the carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM) emissions were more decreased at all of the engine loads.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of fuel combustion enhancing apparatus(FCEA) for ionization of intaking air into cylinder combustion chamber on the combustion performance and emissions characteristics in a 4-cylinder common-rail direct injection diesel engine. The experiments were applied to the engine at an engine speed of 1,500rpm under 20Nm, 40Nm, 60Nm and 80Nm conditions. The test results were compared to each other with or without the FCEA. In the case of the FCEA, the combustion pressure, peak combustion pressure and rate of heat release were increased slightly and the brake specific fuel consumption(BSFC) was decreased slightly when compared to that without the FCEA under all loads at an engine speed of 1,500rpm. However, in the case of the FCEA, the nitrogen oxide(NOx) were increased slightly, the carbon monoxide(CO) and particulate matter(PM) were decreased slightly when compared to that without the FCEA under all loads at an engine speed of 1,500rpm.

The several experiments of Diesel vehicles using EFT were completed. The experiments were performed on chassis dynamometer and road driving test using test mode such as FTP-75 and LA-4. The experiments were employed to measure the effect eco-friendly EFT additives on exhaust emissions and fuel consumption efficiency. In this experiment, the following results are obtained by analyzing the data relativity between exhaust emissions and EFT additives. The value of exhaust emissions such as NOX, SOX, CO2 and PM were improved as Diesel mixed EFT additives at th ratio of 200:1. The improvement of resulting data value was best PM, NOX, SOX, CO₂and fuel consumption rate in the order named.

Diesel vehicle is regulated EURO 5 and will be apply to EURO 6 in 2014. Thus, researches have been performed to meet the strict emission regulations. We have obtained that the results of engine performance operated by lard biodiesel at various engine load and speed was slightly decreased, but brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) at using animal biodiesel below 15% was better than diesel fuels. When the mixing ratio of biodiesel increased, NOx was a slight increase. But PM and CO was a significantly reduced. Therefore, that the biodiesel of animal fats is available for eco-friendly fuel of diesel engine was confirmed.

일반적으로 선박용 디젤엔진의 아산화질소(N₂O)배출률은 이산화황(SO₂)배출률과 밀접한 상관성을 갖고 있고, 선박에서 사용되는 연료의 다양성은 N₂O배출특성에 영향을 미친다고 받아들여져 왔다. 최근의 연구보고에 의하면 연료 연소에서 발생한 충분한 일산화질소(NO)가 존재할 경우, 배기의 SO₂배출률이 N₂O생성에 미치는 영향은 NO의 영향보다 막대하게 크다. 그러므로 SO₂성분으로부터 기인하는 N₂O생성은 NOx저감을 위한 배기가스 재순환(EGR) 시스템에서 중요한 인자로 작용한다. 본 실험적인 연구의 목적은 SO₂유량 증가를 갖는 디젤엔진의 흡기가 배기의 N₂O배출률에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하는 것이다. 실험에 사용된 테스트 엔진은 2600rpm에서 12kW의 출력을 갖는 4행정 직접분사식 디젤엔진이고, 운전조건은 75% 부하에서 실시되었다. 0.499%(m3/m3)의 SO₂표준가스는 흡기의 SO₂농도를 변화시키기 위해 사용되었다. 결과적으로 황 성분을 포함하지 않는 연료는 SO₂를 배출시키지 않았고, 흡기 중에 SO₂표준가스의 증가에 따른 배기의 SO₂배출률은 SO₂흡입률과 비교하여 거의 같은 비율이었다. 또한, 흡기의 SO₂유량 상승은 N₂O배출률을 상승시켜 배기 중의 N₂O는 흡기의 SO₂혼합기에 의해 생성되었다. 결국 황 성분을 함유한 연료는 연소 중에 SO₂를 형성하고 배기 중의 N₂O는 연소실에 존재하는 NO와 SO₂의 반응에 의해 발생된다고 할 수 있다.

최근 지구 온난화는 세계 경제발전으로 화석연료 사용이 주범으로 인식하고 있다. 이러한 화석연료를 감소하기 위한 연구는 여러 대체에너지 산업으로 발전하고 있으며, 그 중 우리나라에서 생산할 수 있는 연료는 바이오연료이다. 바이오연료는 화석연료에 의해서 발생하는 환경오염 문제를 줄이면서 경제적인 이익을 주는 지속 가능한 연료이다. 그래서 바이오연료를 친환경에너지로 전환시키는 재생에너지 등에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 실험은 어선에서 사용했던 기관을 다시 리모델링하여 실험장치를 직접 제작 설치하였고, 여러 바이오연료를 사용하여 선박의 경제적이고 친환경적인 운항에 도움을 주고자 연구하였다. 유채유, 대두유, 폐유채유의 배기배출물특성에 미치는 영향을 종합적으로 분석한 결과는 연료의 물리적, 화학적 성분이 비슷하여 선박용 엔진에 사용이 가능하고, 연료소비율과 NOx는 약간 증가하였으나, 매연은 많이 감소하는 경향이 확인되었다.

F-76 선박용 디젤유와 JP-8 항공유의 연소과정에서 발생되는 입자상물질(PM)의 무차원 광소멸계수를 Transmission Cell를 이용하여 측정하였다. 무차원 광소멸계수의 측정방식은 각각 광원의 파장길이가 633 nm와 853 nm인 대역에서 중력식 필터법에 의해 채집된 PM의 농도와 광학적 방법에 의해 측정된 PM의 농도를 비교하는 방법을 통해 이루어졌다. 광원의 파장길이, 633 nm 대역에서 측정된 무차원 광소멸계수는 F-76의 연료에서 발생된 PM의 경우 8.8인 반면 JP-8 연로부터 생성된 PM의 경우 9.8이였다. 한편 광원 파장길이가 853 nm로 증가함에 따라 두 연료 모두에서 발생된 PM의 무차원 광소멸계수는 각각 8.2 (F-76)와 8.8 (JP-8)로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

The heat transfer characteristics of a spiral type EGR cooler for a diesel engine are numerically analyzed to investigate the performance of EGR cooler. The commercial code FLUENT is utilized to simulate a single spiral tube with constant wall temperature conditions. The numerical analysis is performed with the variation of exhaust gas flow rate. The results show that as mass flow rate increases, temperature difference between inlet and outlet and efficiency become lower, while heat flux gets higher. The empirical correlation is derived in forms of Nusslet number and Reynolds number based on the numerical results.

Increasing specific power, torque and high responsibility have come to the fore as the important strategy of reducing fuel consumption in vehicle engines. Therefore, the boosting performance of various boosting devices has been investigated using a diesel engine simulation program. For the comparison of boosting performance, the simulation result of a naturally aspirated 2.0 liter engine is used as a basis. Subsequently, the boosting effects of single turbocharger, single supercharger and 2-stage boosting system combined with a turbocharger and a supercharger are compared at the same engine condition. The simulation results show that the 2-stage boosting system can attain lower specific fuel consumption and higher air mass flow. In low engine speed range, a supercharger mainly leads higher boosting performance with higher responsibility in the combined boosting system.

The main object of this study is to investigate the collection characteristics of wet-type rotating porous disk system experimentally. The experiment is carried out to analyze the pressure drop and collection efficiency for the present system with the experimental parameters such as system inlet velocity, stage number, tube diameter, inlet concentration, etc. In results, for the present system, at 5 stage and υin=1.8 m/s, the pressure drop becomes significantly lower as 64 mmH2O in comparison with that of the conventional wet type scrubber (Venturi scrubber, over 250 mmH2O).

Resulting of the experiment turbocharger diesel engine according to response power, difference in low speed is not significant, but in high speed, effectiveness of turbocharger diesel engine is almost the same in four turbocharger. In other hand, in exhaust gas experiment, high response power turbocharger model exhausts less NOX, but it doesn’t significantly affect the result when it comes with decreasing of CO2 and effectiveness of similar power characteristic. As a result, the high response power turbocharger diesel engine is economically effective comparing with the low response power turbocharger diesel engine

Biodiesel fuel as an alternative fuel for diesel engine has a great possibility to solve the problem such as air pollution caused by exhaust gas emission of the automobile.

Fuel pump of a vehicle is a device to supply the fuel from fuel tank to engine. This study analyzed the pulsatility on the shape of fuel supply pipe using a CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics). Numerical analysis was performed to use 3-dimensional incompressible k-ε turbulent model with measured pressure values at an exit by an experiment. Simulation models used commercial and improved model. In this study, the characteristics of the pulsatility reduced in improved model compared to those in commercial model. The pressure loss, which occurs at the flexure, was effective to pulsatile reduction. Commercial and improved model differed by numbers of flexure. The number of flexure between inlet and outlet decreased the difference of velocity and pressure. Therefore, the design of fuel supply pipe should be considered numbers and shape of flexure.
