Natural gas is one of the promising alternative fuels because of the abundant deposits and the cleanness of emission gas. It can be used in conventional gasoline engine without major modification. Natural gas has some advantages than gasoline i.e. the high octane number, good mixing condition because of gas and wide inflamable limit. In the present study, a $1.8{\ell}$ conventional gasoline engine is modified for using the CNG as a fuel instead of gasoline. Performance and emission characteristics are compared between gasoline and CNG with 4 cylinder SI Engine which is controlled by programable ECU. Parameters of experimentation are equivalence ratio, spark timing and fuels. We analyzed the combustion characteristics of the engine using the cylinder pressure i.e. ignition delay, combustion duration and cycle variation. As a result, CNG engine shows lower exhaust emissions but brake torque is slightly reduced compared to gasoline engine. Overall combustion duration is longer than that of gasoline because of lower burning speed.

In recent applications, map controlled thermostat has been adapted to optimize engine cooling system and vehicle cooling system. First of all, this strategy is focused on improving fuel consumption rate and reducing emissions, especially unburned hydrocarbon. The object can be obtained through controlling engine metal temperature by varying engine coolant temperature with engine load and speed. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of engine metal temperature and heat rejection rate to coolant. From the results of tested engines, it is obvious that fuel consumption rate has more dominant effect on engine metal temperatures than the corresponding engine power does. Also, Re-Nu relation which shows heat rejection rate to coolant in function of air-fuel mixture and engine specifications has been studied. Also, the empirical Re-Nu relation at full loaded engine was developed.

VVA(Variable Valve Actuation) 기술은 엔진의 흡기 밸브 작동 모드를 가변하여, 엔진의 연비와 성능을 향상시키는 차세대 엔진 기술이다. 흡기캠에 의해 밸브가 직접 작동되는 일반 엔진과 달리 VVA 엔진은 흡기캠, VVA기구, 모터, 제어기 등에 의해 밸브 작동 모드가 정밀하게 제어되므로, 엔진에서 발생되는 손실을 줄여 연비가 크게 향상되고 엔진의 최고 성능이 향상된다. 또한 VVA 엔진을 장착한 차량은 차량의 발진 응답성이 향상되고, 배기가스 배출량을 줄일 수 있어 친환경 저연비 차량을 실현하는데 핵심 차량부품기술이다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 VVA 기구의 적용을 위한 DC모터 및 제어기를 개발하였다.

내연엔진은 가솔린에 의해 움직이듯이, 사람은 자긍심에 의해 움직인다. 만약 자긍심이 가득 차 있으면 오래가지만 반만 차 있으면 곧 넣어야 한고, 비어있다면 곧 멈추고 말 것이다.

In-cylinder spray flow motion plays an important in the adjustment of mixture preparation with a fundamental spray characteristics and in-cylinder flow field well in direct-injection gasoline engine. In this study, the fundamental spray characteristics such as mean drop size, velocity distribution, spray angle were measured and in-cylinder spray flow motion was visualized in order to optimize intake port, piston top land and combustion chamber shapes in the development stage of mass-produced G야 engine. For these experiments, the PDPA measurements and Mie scattering technique were used for detailed spray characteristics and in-cylinder spray motions were obtained by use of ICCD camera through the single-cylinder optical engine. From the experimental results, the test injector shows a good low-end linearity between the dynamic flow and fuel injection pulse width and the fuel spray of 20mm or less in SMD with good spray symmetry. In addition, the in-cylinder tumble flow has more effect on the homogeneous mixture formation than that of in-cylinder swirl flow at early injection mode and the in-cylinder swirl flow plays a better role of stratified mixture preparation than tumble flow at late injection mode.

The automotive industry is making various efforts to cope with ever-increasing exhaust emissions and fuel economy regulations. However, this often results in degraded NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance. For example, we proposed the causes and improvements for the noise generated by the high-pressure pump noise of a gasoline engine, the change of acceleration noise due to dual injection of MPI (Multi-Point Injection) and GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection), the noise of a gasoline turbocharger, and the combustion noise deteriorated due to the injection parameters calibration in a diesel engine. Since these noises are caused by the high frequency noise, and the driver feels the rough sound quality, efforts to reduce them with proper NVH measures are indispensable.

To measure the change in friction loss due to the control of fuel mass and oil temperature in a gasoline engine, the floating liner method was used to measure the friction generated by the piston of a single-cylinder engine. First, to check the effect of combustion pressure on friction, the friction loss was measured by adjusting the fuel mass. It was confirmed that the friction loss increased as the fuel mass increased under the same lubrication conditions. In addition, it was confirmed that the mechanical efficiency decreased as the fuel mass increased. Next, to check the effect of lubrication conditions on friction, the friction loss was measured by controlling the oil temperature. It was confirmed that friction loss increased as the oil temperature decreased at the same fuel mass. As the oil temperature decreases, the viscosity increases, resulting in decreased mechanical efficiency and increased friction loss.

In this study, visualization of in-cylinder spray behavior and spark channel stretching by air flow characteristics depending on engine operating conditions were investigated. For in-cylinder spray behavior, increase in engine rpm did not alter the counter-clockwise air flow direction and location of in-cylinder dominant air flow but increased average air flow velocity, which hindered spray propagation parallel to the piston surface. When injection timing was retarded, direction of in-cylinder dominant air flow was changed, and average air flow velocity was reduced resulting in an increase in spray penetration length and change in direction. For spark channel stretching, increase in air flow speed did not affect spark channel stretch direction but affected length due to increase in spark channel resistance and limitation of energy ignition coil can handle. Change in air flow direction affected spark channel stretch direction where the air flow was obstructed by ground electrode which caused spark channel direction to occur in the opposing direction of air flow. It also affected spark channel stretch length due to change in air flow speed around the spark plug electrode from the interaction between the air flow and ground electrode.

이상 최근 10년 사이 현저하게 보여준 엔진관계의 신기술과 그 배경 등을 돌아 보았을 때 발전하 는 가운데 특히 4륜차용 2사이클 엔진의 몰락이나 엔진의 주요 부품인 기화기의 쇠태는 그 어느 것이나 시대의 요구에 대한 기술의 한께 혹은 신기술의 개발 템포에 추종키 여려웠던 때문인 것 으로 생각된다. 2사이클 엔진은 비출력이 높고 밸브기구가 없어서 구조가 간단한 등의 장점이 있는 반면 배출가스대책(특히 HC), 경부하시의 부정연소 등의 문제를 가지고 있어 4륜차용으로 서는 배출가스규제를 계기로 SAAB(스웨덴), DKW(서독)의 2사이클 엔진이 자취를 감추게 되었 고 현재 남아있는 것은 일본의 경트럭용 엔진에 지나지 않는다. 또 기화기에 대해서도 배출가 스규제에 대한 대응에 밀려 공연비의 제어성, 고도에 대한 보정성, 내열신뢰성, 제어성, 고도에 대한 보정성, 내열신뢰성, 운전성 등의 요구에 엄해진 반면 흡기포트내(PI), 혹은 흡기관 중양부 내(SPI) 가솔린분사방식에 눌려서 가변벤투리식 등도 미국(1982), 일본(1983)에서 발표되었으나 1985년형의 미국차 엔진에는 기화기의 정착율이 50%에 지나지 않는등승용차용 분야에서는 그 사용이 점차 줄어두는 추세에 있다.

Fuel spray characteristics of the gasoline engine injector has been studied experimentally. Wall wetting fuel stream of the 4-hole and 12-hole injectors has been tested and measured with various installation angle and port masking shapes. Spray visualization has been performed to analyze spray formation, spray angle, and penetration length. Test result shows that wall wetting is greatly influenced by the induction air flow and injector installation angle. Wall wetting amount decreased as injector installation angle decreased. Masking decreased wall wetting amount by increasing local intake-air flow velocity due to the decreased section area. Spray visualization showed that the 12-hole injector has robust performance characteristics compared with the 4-hole injector.
