엔진 크랭크축계의 비틀림진동은 엔진설계 및 제작에 있어서 오랜동안 주관심사였다. 크랭크축계의 비틀림진동에서 고려되는 문제는 비틀림진동계의 고유진동수와 이에 따른 차수별 엔진의 공진속도와 엔진의 공진속도에서의 비틀림진동각 및 크랭크축의 비틀림진동에 의한 토오크와 비틀림 응력 등이다. 당사에서는 simulation program을 개발했으며, 비틀림 진동측정 방법도 개발했다. 또한 비틀림진동 측정결과와 simulation결과의 비교로부터 simulation결과 및 측정결과의 정확도를 높여가고 있으며, simulation 방법의 개선을 모색하고 있다. 본 글에서는 이 program에 이용된 기본이론과 실험방법 및 댐퍼 선정 방법을 간단히 소개하고자 한다.

내연기관에서 crankshaft는 piston에 작용하는 수직 gas force 및 관성력을 회전력으로 바꾸어 주는 역할을 한다. 그러므로 engine작동중 높은 부하를 반복적으로 받기 때문에 이에 견딜 충분한 stiffness를 유지해야 한다. Engine의 stroke 운동시에 gas force와 관성력이 변하고 crankshaft의 형상이 복잡하므로 실제적으로 응력계산은 간단하지 않다. 여기에서는 crankshaft에 작용하는 하중과 반력을 계산하고 crankshaft의 stress 및 safety factor를 계산하여 crankshaft를 설계하는 방법을 설명하고자 한다. 근래 FEM에 의한 stress analysis를 많이 수행하나, loading condition을 주기 위해서는 classical method에 의해서 구할 수 있다.

The effects of ignition position on combustion in a chamber with swirl flow were investigated by use of hot wire anemometer, high speed schlieren photography, and chamber pressure measurement. In experiments, the closed-constant volume combustion chamber was used, and the swirl was formed unsteadily by suction of external fluid after reducing pressure in the chamber. Results show that the effect of ignition position on combustion depends on the flow state and the flame propagation distance corresponding to each ignition position. Also, the effect of combustion promoting increases as an ignition position moves from the center of chamber to the outside, but maximum burning pressure was obtained at the position that is the shortest flame propagation distance.

This study is a theoretical analysis and experimental effect of oxygen concentration, exhaust velocity and trap inlet temperature on particulate ignition temperature with installation of ceramic filter trap in diesel engine. So the following results are obtained. 1, Based on the fundamental experiments of the regeneration process, the analytical model was developed and the results from the analytical model agreed with the experiments, then the validity of the model was proved. 2, The ignition temperature for accumulated particulate was proportional to the exhaust velocity and it was known that the optimum exhaust velocity was about 15m/sec. 3, The ignition temperature for accumulated particulate was inversely proportional to the oxygen concentration and the trap inlet temperature, and a minimum oxygen concentration of 5% was required to sustain regeneration. 4, This experimental filter trap(EX-66) is found about 30% of smoke reduction efficiency in comparison with existing muffler.

This paper reports the basic performance of a naturally aspirated DI diesel engine which is used widely in industry and agriculture when vegetable oils are used as fuel substitutes. In this paper, the properties of vegetable oils as diesel fuel were investigated and the load-performance of diesel engine when vegetable oils were used, as tested compared against diesel fuel. The general objective of this investigation is to realize an efficient, clean, and low carbon deposit combustion of the vegetable oils in diesel engines, showing their feasibility as diesel fuel substitutes. The results of this experiment were as follows; (1) Compared with diesel fuel, the droplet size of vegetable oil is very large. (2) Compared with diesel fuel, rapeseed oil, palm oil, and their blend fuels offered lower smoke, lower NOx, ower engine noise, and high thermal efficiency in a D.I. diesel engine However, there were carbon deposit and piston ring sticking problems with long-term operation. (3) For ethanol-rapeseed oil blends, a 10-20% of ethanol content is recommended to enable lower BSHC and less smoke without a remarkable increase in engine noise compared with pure rapeseed oil. (4) A 10% oxygen content in the vegetable oils is contributed to reduced smoke emission.

Heat transfer experiment is carried out during the performance test of the 4-cylinder 4-stroke cycle turbo-charged gasoline engine. Cycle simulation employing the measured pressure in cylinder, the cooling water temperature and flow rate and others is carried out in order to calculate the gas temperature in cylinder. In this simulation combustion process was simulated by Annand's two zone model and suction, compression, and other processes are calculated completely. From this simulation, we can obtain not only the heat transfer coefficient but also the flame speed, turbulent burning velocity, flame factor and the boiling condition of cooling passage. The results are investigated with engine speed, equivalence ratio and spark advance.
