This work deals with a controlled auto-ignition (CAI) single cylinder gasoline engine, focusing on the extension of operating conditions. In order to keep a homogeneous air-fuel mixing, the fuel injector is water-cooled by a specially designed coolant passage. Investigated are the engine emission characteristics under the wide range of operating conditions such as 40 in the air-fuel ratio, 1000 to 1800 rpm in the engine speed, $150\;to\;180^{\circ}C$ in the inlet-air temperature, and $80^{\circ}$ BTDC to $20^{\circ}$ ATDC in the injection timing. A controlled auto-ignition gasoline engine which has the ultra lean-burn with self-ignition of gasoline fuel can be achieved by heating inlet air. It can be achieved that the emission concentrations of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides had been significantly reduced by CAI combustion compared with conventional spark ignition engine.

This work presents an investigation of aerodynamic characteristics of fuel spray injected from a high pressure hollow cone swirl injector into a constant volume chamber. Laser tomography visualization was used to interrogate the fuel and air mixing characteristics and the effect of chamber pressure and temperature increase was analyzed, Preliminary results on spray development showed that mixing effect tends to increase with the increase of injection pressure and chamber gas pressure yielding a decrease of spray penetration and an attenuation of well-defined vortex structure. Topological analysis of the spray structure has been performed to initiate the understanding of mixing and vaporization process. For the present experimental conditions fuel injection pressure and chamber gas pressure appear as the dominant factors which govern the transient mixing characteristics. Moreover spray atmixation characteristics are improved by increasing chamber gas temperature.

In this paper, tile characteristics of flow resulting from the configurations of piston head and intake-port of the cylinder in a gasoline-direct-injection engine are investigated numerically. Calculations are carried out from intake process to the end of compression. GTT code which includes the third order upwind Chakravarthy-Osher TVD scheme and κ-ε turbulence model with the law of wall as a boundary condition. As a result, a piston head with a smaller radius of curvature and larger radius gives stronger reverse tumble. It is also shown that as the maximum tumble ratio increases by the configuration of the intake-port the tumble ratio at the end of compression stroke increases. It is concluded that flows at the end of compression stroke can be controlled by the optimum design of intake-port and piston head.

A study to investigate the influence of combustion chamber shape, especially piston top face configuration, on the combustion stability is presented with CFD analysis and single cylinder GDI engine test. Initial configuration of the piston bowl was designed with CFD analysis and further parametric studies of the design factors on the piston top face were carried out through the single cylinder GDI engine test. It was found that both the geometry of piston top face and the compression ratio have great influences on the combustion stability. Of interest is that the design factors of the GDI piston to prevent mixture diffusion out of the piston bowl have important roles for the stable combustion at the stratified mixture condition. Also the relationship between spray impingement and flow pattern in a GDI piston bowl should be considered to design an optimal bowl configuration for stable stratified combustion.

최근 서울의 일부 지역에서는 오존 주의보에 의한 대기 오염의 수치가 발표되고 있어 이의 심각성이 대두되고 있다. 대기오염의 주범은 자동차이며, 자동차에서 주로 많이 배출되는 질소산화물(NOx)과 탄화수소(HC) 및 디젤자동차에서의 입자상 물질(PM: Particulate Matter)등이 대기환경에 미치는 영향이 크므로 이러한 물질의 저감에 대한 요구가 점차 강화되어가고 있다. 특히, 디젤 엔진이 가솔린 엔진에 비해 대기오염의 주원인이라는 편견이 일반적으로 널리 알려져 있지만, 이는 눈에 보이는 Black smoke에 대한 거부반응이 있다는 점이다. 실제로 디젤 엔진의 유해 배출 성분 중에서 NOx는 가솔린과 비슷한 수준이나 HC와 CO성분은 상당히 적게 배출되고 있다. 또한, 디젤 엔진은 연료 경제성 및 지구 온난화의 원인인 CO$_{2}$ 배출이 적다는 장점이 있으므로 디젤 엔진에서 많이 배출되는 성분으로서 입자상 물질(PM) 및 NOx를 줄이는 방안이 요구되고 있다. 이를 저감시키는 방법은 여러가지가 있으나 분사계 측면에서 전자제어식 고압 연료 분사가 요구되고 있으며 이의 개발 필요성에 대해서 논하기로 한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the in-cylinder flows and different injection timings on fuel behavior in the cylinder of a GDI engine. Three different flows types induced by using masked port, unmasked port, and port deactivation were tumble, swirl&tumble, and high swirl respectively. LIEF technique was applied to investigate the mixture formation and fuel distribution at ignition time in the transparent engine with optical access through the piston top and upper part of cylinder liner. Injection timings of 180,90, and 60 degrees before TDC were examined. It was found that tumble flow was more effective on the homogeneous mixture formation than other flow and swirl flow transported more fuel vapor to the exhaust side at early injection mode, and swirl and swirl & tumble flow made fuel vapor concentrate around the cylinder center at late injection mode.

연료유(가솔린, 디이젤 연료, 천연가스)의 성능평가 방법으로서 기존 ASTM 표준엔진 시험방법에 많은 단점들이 지적되어 그동안 이를 대체할 수 있는 방법에 관하여 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 고에서는 그동안 연구되어온 이들 사항들을 요약 정리하여 서로를 비교코저 하였다. 새로운 여러가지 평가방법들은 석유정제공정의 품질관리, 자동차 생산현장에서의 엔진시험, 연구, 자동차 배기가스 영향 등의 대기환경 연구 등에 필수적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각되며 해외에서는 최근 이들 방법들의 상업화된 기기의 개발과 시판 사용이 1990년대 접어들면서 급격히 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 이들 방법들은 기존의 ASTM 표준엔진 시험 방법의 여러 가지 난점을 극복키 위해 보다 신속, 정확하고 적은 시료의 양, 측정 가동의 편이성, 저렴한 운용 관리비, 많은 시료의 연속적인 측정 용이, 기존 시험엔진에 비해 저렴한 측정기기 가격 등 많은 장점을 보유하고 있다. 특히 자동차 관련 연구소의 엔진시험분야에서 배기가스에 미치는 연료 조성 및 물성의 영향과 동력학적 성질의 예측 등은 매우 중요하리라 생각된다. 그러므로 관련분야의 품질관리, 연구개발을 위해 본고의 내용이 도움이 되었으면 한다.

Nowadays, gasoline direct injection engines are being commercialized by virtue of improvement in control technology of spray, flow, air fuel ratio. The stratified charge type has the advantage of improving lean limit. The homogeneous type has the advantage of reducing engine-out hydrocabon emissions in the first 30 seconds after a cold start, in addition, improving transient air fuel ratio control. The vaporization and mixing if injected fuel with air has to e completed in a short time and the fuel film in cylinder and on piston has to be minimized. So, the flow and injection should be well controlled. This paper surveyed the spray characteristics of gasoline direct injection by using laser equipment and the combustion characteristics of the single cylinder engine using homogeneousas-mixture type gasoline direct injection.

An experimental study was performed to explore characteristics of combustion and exhaust emissions in the compression ignition engine of RCCI (reactivity controlled compression ignition) using diesel-gasoline dual fuel. A dual-fuel reactivity controlled compression ignition concepts is demonstrated as a promising method to achieve high thermal efficiency and low emissions. For investigating combustion characteristics, engine experiments were performed in a light-duty diesel engine over a range of SOIs (start of injection) and gasoline percents. The experimental results showed that cases of diesel-gasoline dual fuel combustion is capable of operating over a middle range of engine loads with lower levels of NOx and soot, acceptable pressure rise rate, low ISFC (indicated specific fuel consumption), and high indicated thermal efficiency.
