최근 국내에서도 정부 각기관 및 자동차생산업체에 있어서 디젤기관의 배기물 엑제에 대한 기술적 검토가 자주 있었고, 많은 관계자들이 관심을 가지고 디젤기관의 배기물규칙에 주목하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 해설에서는 미국 SAE의 Automotive Engineering, 제96권 제9호(1988년 9월호)에 게재된 미국에 있어서의 1990년대 디젤기관의 배기물제어에 관한 추세 혹은 동향, 전망을 학회회원께 널리 전파하여 차후 국내에서의 디젤기관 배기물제어의 참고자료로 활용하거나 또는 미국에 대한 수출전략의 일면이 될 수 있기를 바라 그 전문을 번역하여 게재코자 한다.

As a mean of increasing engine power, great attention has been concentrated on the turbo-charging owing to better fuel economy, smaller engine size and lower emission. The performance in turbocharged engine depends not only on the efficiency of the engine and the turbocharger used, but also on the total characteristics of the system by the matching turbocharger to the engine. The matching of the turbocharger to the engine has been usually accomplished by the empirical techniques with a great deal of laborious work. It would be better to predict the performance and emission in the turbocharged engine using the effective simulation model. In this study, computer simulation program has been developed to predict the transient variation of properties of gas in the cylinder, intake and exhaust pipes, the engine performances and emissions.

A disk photo sensor system was constructed and installed on engine for the crank angle measurement. Statically measured TDC crank angle data were compared with those obtained from engine motoring. Two groups of cylinder pressure data were compared each other, one measured by pressure transducer mounted flush on the combustion chamber and the other obtained with the help of spark plug type adaptor. A simple analysis on the gas flow in the spark plug type pressure transducer displayed reasonably good agreement with those from engine motoring tests. In various firing tests, the IMERs obtained from the spark plug type pressure transducer turned out to be higher than those from the flush mounted one at low engine speed while those two were nearly the same at high engine speed. As the engine load decreased the relative difference in IMEP measurement between the two types tended to be enlarged.

In a previous report, the properties of vegetable oils as diesel fuel substitutes were investigated and the basic load performance of a diesel engine was examined using vegetable oil. The results show that despite of the long term chain hydrocarbon structure and large droplet size due to high viscosity, vegetable oils have good basic performance and exhaust emissions, however they cause serious problems as carbon deposit buildup, they have poor durability, and also poor thermal efficiency. In this paper, the startability and engine durability with long term operation was tested by physical methods for reducing viscosity when vegetable oil was used as compared against diesel fuel. The results obtained in this investigation may be stated as follows; (1) There is no problem in startability when vegetable oil was used as diesel fuel substitutes as far as fuel temperature is higher than 30.deg. C (2) The carbon deposits were most extensive at lower loads and lower engine speeds, and deposit buildup more heavily on the cooler parts of the combustion chamber wall. (3) Blends with 25% diesel fuel and 20v-% ethanol are effective in reducing the carbon deposit buildups. (4) Significant improvement in carbon deposit and piston ring stick can be obtained by heating fuel(200.deg.).

During recent years, a great deal of interest has emerged on the use of adaptive approaches and a posteriori estimates in finite element method. The results are intended to be used to improve the quality of finite element solution by changing the location of the nodes within a fixed number of degrees of freedom-so called r method-, and by increasing the order of polynomial approximation with the new degrees of freedom-p method. This paper deals with error analysis that contains the basic theory and method of deriving error estimates and adaptive processes applied to finite element solutions underlying the rpm method that is the combination of r and p method of finite element. It is shown that we can obtain more accurate solution by applying the method to the 2-dimensional heat transfer problem.

본 논문에서는 Laser Rayleigh Pyrometer에 의한 광학계의 개조와 측정기술을 발전시켜 지금까지의 측정이 불가능한 밀폐용기내에서 분출화염의 온도측정을 시도하여 분출화염에 의한 착화나 소염의 연구에 중요한 자료를 얻고자 하는데 있다. 밀폐용기내에서의 온도측정은 대기개방형에서와 같이 Laser의 에너지를 증대시키기 위해 이용한는 다중반사 Mirror가 사용될 수 없을 뿐만 아니라 약한 Rayleigh산란빛에 의하여 입사창이란 Laser Trap으로 발생하는 강한 배경광 및 분출화염 뿐만 아니고 착화된 화염에서 대량의 화학발광은 피할 수 없다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 영향을 제거하는데 노력하여 밀폐용기내의 연소장에서 온도를 측정하였으며 또 측정가능성을 시사하였다.

Engine performance is one of the main objectives specified at the beginning of a new engine design project. The cycle simulation for SI engine is based on the zero-dimensional gas exchange model and a heat release expression by Viebe. This program also requires minimum input data and takes only a short time to run. Heat transfer from cylinder transfer formula. The flow coefficient (effective area) is calculated from valve lift using the standard flow coefficient curve and engine friction is calculated from the Millington and Hartles' engine friction formula. The chemical species considered in burned gas are 6 species CO, CO, H$_{2}$, H$_{2}$O, $O_{2}$, N$_{2}$ and the cylinder pressure, homogeneous cylinder temperature, gas composition and burned fraction are calculated at each crank angle through the cycle. To check the validity and accuracy, experimental study was done with 3 engines for measuring cylinder pressure, indicated mean effective pressure, brake mean effective pressure and air flow rate, etc. Despite its simple assumptions, cycle simulation showes excellent breathing and performance correlation when compared with data of tested engines, and have been proved useful in engine design.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the flow through the intake and exhaust system of a spark ignition engine. The flow was assumed to be one-dimensional, compressible and unsteady, and carburetor, muffler, valve and junction are modelled as boundary conditions according to their flow characteristics. In the experiment, four cylinder gasoline engine is used and the pressures in the intake and exhaust pipes and in the cylinder are measured and compared with the results of numerical analysis. In consequence of the comparison, four periods of pressure wave in a cycle are observed in both case of experiment and prediction. In case of exhaust pipe, the results obtained from the experiment are in accord with that from calculation. The results of the intake system show some differences with each other due to the complication in shape, but the periods of both case concur well.
