Our environment is faced with serious problems related to the air pollution from automobiles in these days. In particular, the exhaust emissions of diesel engines are recognized as main causes of the air pollution. DI diesel engine is widely used for the sake of minimization on exhaust emission. Because biodiesel fuel is a renewable and alternative fuel for diesel engine, its usability is expanded. The smoke emission of esterfied rapeseed oil is reduced remarkably in comparison with commercial gas oil, that is, it was reduced approximately 44.5% at 1500rpm. But, brake specific energy consumption showed very slight differences. It was concluded that esterfied rapeseed oil can utilize effectively as an alternative and renew-able fuel for diesel engine.

The potential possibility of oxygenated fuel for di-ether group oxygenated additives such as Methyl tertiary butyl ether(MTBE) and diethylene glycol dimethyl ether(DGM) were investigated for the sake of exhausted smoke reduction from diesel engine. They include oxygen content approximately from 18% to 36%, it is a kind of oxygenated fuel that the smoke emission of them is reduced remarkably compared with commercial diesel fuel. In the experiment by gas chromatography, unburned hydrocarbons of oxygenated fuel were reduced than those of commercial diesel fuel.

산유국으로부터 에너지 독립을 하고 대기오염방지를 위한 배기배출물을 저감시키기 위하여 대체연료에 많은 관심을 가지고 있다. 폐유나 새로운 식물성 기름과 동물성 기름으로부터 생성할 수 있는 바이오디젤유가 압축점화기관인 디젤기관에 구조적인 변화없이 사용될 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 4행정 직접분사식 디젤기관을 이용하여 순수 디젤유와 바이오디젤 혼합유(바이오디젤 10% 및 20% 함유)의 연료소비율과 배기배출물에 미치는 영향을 제시했으며, 특히 실험에 사용된 바이오디젤 연료는 우리 실험실에서 유채유로부터 직접 생산되었다. 이 연구 결과 바이오디젤 혼합유가 디젤유 보다 연료소비율과 질소산화물은 약간 증가 되었고 일산화탄소와 매연은 상당히 감소되었다.

This paper is an experimental study to investigate utility of ultrasonic treatment of fuel oil in diesel engine. Experiment was carrid out to clarify the effect of ultrsonic vibration on the characteristics of maximum pressure, fuel consumption ratio, smoke, BMEP and torque. The result obtained are as follows: 1. In the case of given ultrsonic vibration, the maximum pressure is increased in all experimental conditions. 2. In the case of given ultrsonic vibration, the decrease effect of fuel consumption rate is increased at low rpm. 3. The generation quantity of soots is increased according to load. In the case of given ultrsonic vibration, the decreased quantity of soots does not very according to load. 4. In the case of given ultrsonic vibration, the BMEP and torque are increased at low load.

국산 소형어선용 예연소실식 디이젤기관에 혼합연료유(정유+중유)를 사용할 경우 혼합연료유의 성질, 연소특성 및 기관성능에 관하여 실험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 혼합연료유의 혼합비율(중량비율)이 증가함에 따라 비중은 선형적으로 증가하였고, 점도-온도 곡선은 Walther-ASTM 식과 일치하였으며, 착화성지수인 CCAI의 값은 기울기 1.0에 가까운 직선으로 증가하였다. 2) 동일운전조건에서 착화지연은 CCAI의 값이 810(혼합비율 60%)까지는 미소하게 증가하였으나, 그 이상의 값에서는 현저하게 증가하였다. 따라서, 혼합연료유의 착화성을 나타내는 CCAI의 값은 810 이상에서 적용하는 것이 타당하다. 3) 연소최고압력은 혼합비율 40%까지 증가하다가 감소하였으며, 그을음농도는 60%부터 현저하게 증가하였으므로, 본 실험에서 무그을음 연료비절감의 안전운전 혼합비율은 50%가 적당하다

Due to the increasing sewage sludge generation from wastewater treatment facilities, sewage sludge has been reconsidered as a renewable energy source in various ways. Lipid extraction from sewage sludge is an applicable method for biodiesel production. Higher biodiesel production yields can be achieved through the improvement of lipid recovery efficiency. Although sewage sludge has different features due to its types and steps in treatment plants, lipid content of sewage sludge generally ranges from 10 to 15%. Among solvent extraction methods, the highest lipid recovery efficiencies were observed for chloroform-methanol extraction: 13.6-14.6% for primary sludge, 10.6-12.1% for waste-activated sludge, and 2.9-4.2% for digested sludge. The extraction residue of sludge can be used as biosolid refuse fuel (bio-SRF). After lipid extraction, the residue had decreased volatile matter and carbon content. Consequently, the calorific value of the residue decreased by 3,000 kcal/kg. The level of calorific value can be available to use bio-SRF.
