A low temperature difference model Stirling engine is a small Stirling engine running with several degree of temperature difference without power output. In this study, the design parameters to give maximum power are discussed. As results, the phase angle is about 100 degree, and compression ratio is 1.5% of the ratio of heat source temperatures at maximum power condition.

In this paper, the author experimented, by using the C. F. R. engine, how the functions of engine is changed when the compression ratio is raised. In the process of these experiments, by using three kinds of fuel, such as cetane number 95, 61, 33, and set the engine speed as 900 r. p. m., fuel injection time is determined as B. T. D. C. $13^{\circ}$. As the result of test, the best compression ratio is disernable in proportion to each fuel, and acknowledges that if the higher compression ratio were to exist other than the above one, efficiency of heat gets rather lower, and that the maximum output of engine decreases. Andthe best compression ratio changed according to supply calorie per each hour, and this change is more remarkable in the fuel of low cetane number. Consequently, the best compression ratio cannot be regardless of output in the fuel of low cetane number.

Dynamic seals have been continue to be one of the major technical problems facing stirling engine designers. Most of the modern engines use some version of the dry ring seal for piston and displacer seals. Friction power losses associated with seals are typically several percent of gross output power, with piston ring seals usually being the main contributor. Much effort has been expended to develop the seal mechanism of piston, but the performance of these seal devices is very poor. This study was conducted to examine the efficiency of the various types of the trial-made piston seal mechanism with reference to leakage of working fluid and friction losses. This paper described the successful hardware implementation of a stainless steel bellows element in stirling engine application with test data in power performance. The indicated power by use of the bellows was more than two times as that by use of the piston ring types. As the result of this study, bellows was provide as a reliable and efficient seal mechanism for any stirling engine application.

최근에 와서 급격한 선박의 대형화, 고속화 추세에 따르는 주기관의 소요마력 증가, 신속정확한 작동 및 성역화에 따른 기관의 자동화와 경제적 운항에 따른 정박시간의 단축 및 stop manouvering 등의 요인으로 선박용 주기관의 발전은 급진적인 양상을 띄고 있다.특히 주기관의 출력증대와 안전운항을 위한 정지, 후진성능 및 경제적 운항을 위한 자동화와 연료비 절감등의 기술적인 문제는 아직도 개선할 여지가 많은 것으로 전망되며 국내조선공업의 발달추세에 비추어 볼때 국내에서도 점차 이상과 같은 제기술문제의 해결을 위하여 관련 학계는 물론 관계기관에서는 지속적인 연구와 노력을 경주해야 할 것이다.

본 고에서는 실제 선박의 진동 양상을 근간으로 하여 최근의 초대형 유조선 및 콘테이너 운반 선의 선박진동에 대해서 개략적으로 고찰하여 보았다. 최근의 선박 진동 양상은 선박의 대형화와 고출력 및 고효율기관이 선박에 적용됨에 따라 프로펠러보다는 주기관에 의한 진동이 많이 발생 되므로 주기관으로 발생되는 종 기진력 및 선체에의 전달 메카니즘에 대해서 중점적으로 연구할 필요가 있다. 선박 진동은 현재의 추진기관 시스템이 선박에 적용되는 한 피할 수 없는 문제 이고 또한 최근에 거주성 및 작업성 향상을 위한 저진동 선박에 대한 요구도 점차 높아지고 있 으므로 진동 관계자들은 지속적인 관심을 갖는 것이 요구된다.

In this paper, we present the status and prospect for PAV propulsion system. Reciprocating engines are suitable for current PAV because of its efficiency and price advantages. However, fuel cells and batteries may replace conventional engines in the near future.

In this study, variable compression ratio system(VCRS) was applied on the heavy-duty CNG engine and the characteristics of power and emission was investigated according to the increasing of compression ratio. As compression ratio increasing, the increasing of thermal efficiency in direct injection is three times higher than that in port injection. The emission of HC and CO in direct injection is reduced about 14.2%, 17.7% but NOx is increased because of increasing temperature in cylinder.

In this paper, we present some results of power analyses, and weight estimation on electric propulsion systems for Personal Air Vehicles(PAV) applications. When hybrid electric propulsion is adopted, its power performance using fuel cells and batteries is inferior to that of internal combustion engines for 1,000 kg PAV. However, hybrid electric propulsion systems may replace IC engines when energy density and power density is over $0.75kW{\cdot}hr/kg$and 2.5 kW/kg, respectively.

Most of small size diesel engines are widely used with the same size and weight flywheel in the levels of 6.0kW and 7.5kW. This study was conducted to obtain basic data which affect the engine performance of the power tiller. The flywheel weight was considered as a major factor in this research. Basically, fuel consumption ratio, motoring loss, torque, vibration and mechanical efficiency of the engine were measured and analyzed on four levels of flywheel weight, 32.2, 29.4, 26.2 and $24.2kg_f$, respectively. Results were obtained as follows: 1. The weights of flywheel were $23.7kg_f$ from design program of JSME and $24.5kg_f$ from ASME and SAE design criteria. Therefore, the flywheel weight of $32.2kg_f$ might be reduced about $8kg_f$ in 7.5kW engine. 2. The rated outputs of 6.0kW and 7.5kW engine were actually 7.43kW and 7.85kW, respectively. When flywheel weight was reduced from $32.2kg_f$ to $24.2kg_f$, outputs were increased from 7.43kW to 7.70kW in 6.0kW engine and from 7.85kW to 8.25kW in 7.5kW engine. 3. When the flywheel weight was reduced from $32.2kg_f$ to $24.2kg_f$, fuel consumption ratio was decreased from 300.8 to 296.8g/kW-hr in 6.0kW engine and also from 313.6 to 312.8g/kW-hr in 7.5 kW engine, respectively. 4. When the flywheel weight was reduced from $32.2kg_f$ to $24.2kg_f$, mechanical efficiency of engine was increased from 76.1% to 76.8% in 6.0kW engine and also from 76.7% to 77.0% in 7.5kW engine, respectively. 5. When the flywheel weight was reduced from $32.2kg_f$ to $24.2kg_f$, vibration was decreased at X-axis and Z-axis in 6.0kW engine, however, slightly increased at Y-axis in 6.0kW engine and at all axes in 7.5kW engine. 6. When the flywheel weight was reduced from $32.2kg_f$ to $24.4kg_f$ motoring loss was decreased from 2.33kW to 1.75kW in 6.0kW engine and also from 2.46kW to 1.84kW in 7.5kW engine.

Survey was carried out on the acoustic outputs from 12 shock wave fields produced by the 10 extracorporeal shock wave lithotriptors whose technical documents are available, among the 33 devices approved by the Ministry of Food & Drug Safety (MFDS).The results show that the acoustic outputs (P+, P-, efd, and E), critical to the therapeutic efficacy and the patient safety, are largely different between the devices. The maximum values of P+, P-, efd, and E vary up to 2.08, 3.72, 3.89, and 15.98 times, respectively. The acoustic output parameters are not thoroughly provided in the technical documents, and some of data (eg. efd) are suspected to be abnormal outside usual ranges. The large device to device differences in the shock wave outputs are likely to undermine equivalence between the ESWL devices approved for the same indication. To verify the reliability of the data in the technical documents of the approved devices and to confirm if the acoustic outputs from the devices in clinical use are the same as those in their technical documents, an authorized test laboratory should be available. A postapproval monitoring led by the regulatory agency is suggested to maintain the acoustic outputs from the ESWL devices that suffer from degrading in performance due to aging.
