본 연구는 에멀젼 연료의 특성과 배출가스에 대하여 연구하였다. 엔진 배출가스 측정은 엔진 dinamometer로 실시하였다. 실험분석 결과 emulsion 연료의 참발열량과 총발열량은 이론적 계산과 실제측정결과 오차범위인 ${\pm}0.5%$로 산정된다. 점도와 밀도는 물의 첨가량이 증가할수록 증가하였다. 또한 emulsion 연료는 보관온도가 높아질수록 상분리가 빠르게 진행된다. $20^{\circ}C$의 경우가 가장 안정된 상태를 오래 유지하며, 그 다음은 $50^{\circ}C$가, 가장 불안정한 상태를 보이는 것은 $80^{\circ}C$인 것을 알 수 있었다. 연소실험 결과 emulsion 연료가 Bunker-A 보다 낮은 NOx, Smoke 수치를 보였으며, 총 NOx는 1,000 rpm 41%, 1,200 rpm 10%, 1,500 rpm 32% 2,500 rpm 28%, 총 smoke는 1,000 rpm 42%, 1,200 rpm 65%, 1,500 rpm 70%. 2,000 rpm 62%. 2,500 rpm 82%의 저감이 가능하였다.
In this study, the characteristics of emulsified fuel and engine emissions were studied with an engine dynamometer. In the results of physical property analysis, the margin of error of net calorific value and gross calorific value was ${\pm}0.5%$, were almost same theoretical calculation and results of physical property analysis test. In emulsified fuel, density and viscosity increased with increasing water contents. Emulsified fuel which is composed of water and Bunker-A was manufactured by using homogenizer and ultrasonic generator in $80^{\circ}C$. Phase separation did not take place in $20^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$. In the results of engine dynamometer test, NOx concentration and smoke density were reduced with increasing water contents in using emulsified fuel. Total NOx could be reduced by about 41%, 10%, 32% and 28% at 1,000 rpm, 1,200 rpm, 1,500 rpm and 2,500 rpm respectively. Total smoke density was reduced to 42%, 65%, 70%, 62%, and 82% at 1,000 rpm, 1,200 rpm, 1,500 rpm, 2,000 rpm, and 2,500 rpm respectively.
