The purpose of this work is an experimental investigation of combustion and emission characteristics in DI diesel engine applied high EGR rate as a method of low-temperature combustion. In order to analyze the effect of EGR rate variation, a single-cylinder DI diesel engine was operated under various EGR rate conditions. In addition, injection timing was variously controlled to investigate the effect of injection timing in DI diesel engine using the cooled-EGR system. The NOx emissions were decreased in accordance with the increase of EGR rate. On the contrary, soot emissions were generally increased under applied EGR conditions. However, soot emissions were decreased in a few injection timings under high EGR rate conditions. The EGR results show that the ignition delay were increased by decreased oxygen concentrations in combustion chamber under the high EGR rate.

It is well known that combustion stability under idle and part-load conditions directly affect fuel economy and exhaust emission. In practice, there have been a lot of studies so that a significant improvement in combustion stability has been achieved in this research field. However, applying published results to the development process of mass production engine, there are still many problems which are solved previously. In this study, initial flame behavior and flame propagation characteristic were investigated statistically in order to optimize combustion chamber shapes in the development stage of mass production S.I. engine. To the purpose, the authors applied the flame image capturing system to single cylinder optical engine. The captured flame images were effectively analyzed by using the image processing program which was developed by the authors and adopted new threshold algorithm instead of conventional histogram analysis. In addition, the cylinder pressure was also measured simultaneously to compare evaluated flame results with cylinder pressure data in terms of the combustion characteristics, combustion stability, and cycle-to-cycle combustion variability.

The most typical fuel control devices of motorcycle engines have carburetors, they are simple in structure and reliable in work. Most of the motorcycle engines have used carburetors in the fuel system, but the fuel economy and the emissions of those engines are bad when we compared with automobile engines. According to stricter emission regulations and higher requirements for fuel economy, the application of the carburetor on the motorcycle engines would be limited. In this paper, we studied about the ECU of motorcycle engine controled by indirect method. A new engine system was designed and experiments were carried out. The experimental results for both carburetor type and ECU type were compared. Maximum torque of $1.053kg{\cdot}m$ at 6500rpm was measured. The engine torque controled using ECU was increased by $10\%$ compared with the carburetor type.

This paper presents an experimental study on the effect of double injection strategies on combustion characteristics in a single-cylinder diesel engine. These studies are applied to the double injection strategies, such as $2^{nd}$ injection timing variations with fixed injection interval (8 degree) and variations of injection pressures with fixed injection timing and intervals. The injection quantity was 7 + 7 mg for double injections, and 14 mg for single injection. When the injection pressure was increased, the ignition delay was shortened, and the ISFC (indicated specific fuel consumption) was increased due to the fast termination of combustion by the shortened energizing duration. In addition, the retardation of injection timings toward TDC (top dead center) caused the reduction of ignition delay and the decrease of ISFC with the decrease of FMEP (friction mean effective pressure).

The intake swirl motion, as one of dominant effects for an engine combustion. is very effective for turbulence enhancement during the compression process in the cylinder of 2-valve engine. Because the combustion flame speed is determined by the turbulence that is mainly generated from the mean flow of the charge air motion in intake port system. This paper describes the experimental results of swirl flow and combustion characteristics by using the oil spot method and back-scattering Laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) in 2-valve single cylinder transparent LPG engine using the liquid phase LPG injection. For this. various intake port configurations were developed by using the flow box system and swirl ratios for different intake port configurations were determined by impulse swirl meter in a steady flow rig test. And the effects of intake swirl ratio on combustion characteristics in an LPG engine were analyzed with some analysis parameters that is swirl ratio. mean flow coefficient, swirl mean velocity fuel conversion efficiency. combustion duration and cyclic variations of indicated mean effective pressure(IMEP). As these research results, we found that the intake port configuration with swirl ratio of 2.0 that has a reasonable lean combustion stability is very suitable to an $11{\ell}$ heavy-duty LPG engine with liquid phase fuel injection system. It also has a better mean flow coefficient of 0.34 to develope a stable flame kernel and to produce high performance. This research expects to clarify major factor that effects on the design of intake port efficiently with the optimized swirl ratio for the heavy duty LPG engine.

The purpose of study is obtaining low-emission and high-efficiency in LPi engine with hydrogen enrichment. The test engine was named variable compression ratio single cylinder engine (VACRE). The fuel supply system provides LPG/hydrogen mixtures based on same heating value. A varied sensors such as crank shaft position sensor (CPS) and hall sensor supplies spark timing data to ignition controller. Displacement of VACRE is $1858.2cm^3$. VACRE was runned 1400rpm with compression ratio 8. Spark timing was set MBT without knocking. Relative air-fuel ratio($\lambda$) of this work was varied between 0,8 and 1.5.

Combustion and flame propagation characteristics of the liquid phase LPG injection (LPLI) engine were investigated in a single cylinder optical engine. Lean bum operation is needed to reduce thermal stress of exhaust manifold and engine knock in a heavy duty LPG engine. An LPLI system has advantages on lean operation. Optimized engine design parameters such as swirl, injection timing and piston geometry can improve lean bum performance with LPLI system. In this study, the effects of piston geometry along with injection timing and swirl ratio on flame propagation characteristics were investigated. A series of bottom-view flame images were taken from direct visualization using an W intensified high-speed CCD camera. Concepts of flame area speed, In addition to flame propagation patterns and thermodynamic heat release analysis, was introduced to analyze the flame propagation characteristics. The results show the correlation between the flame propagation characteristics, which is related to engine performance of lean region, and engine design parameters such as swirl ratio, piston geometry and injection timing. Stronger swirl resulted in foster flame propagation under open valve injection. The flame speed was significantly affected by injection timing under open valve injection conditions; supposedly due to the charge stratification. Piston geometry affected flame propagation through squish effects.

본 연구에서는 옥탄가에 따른 연소특성 및 차량 성능에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 옥탄가 차이가 있는 두 연료를 선정하여 연소특성 및 배출가스, 연비, 가속성 실험을 수행하였다. 우선, 연소특성 실험을 위해 단기통 엔진을 사용하였으며, 시중에 유통되는 연료 중 옥탄가가 다른 두 연료를 선정하여 수행하였다. 단기통 실험은 각 연료에 맞는 점화시기 및 공연비제어를 통해 점화시기를 점차 진각 시켰을 때 나타나는 연소 특성을 살펴보았으며, 그에 따른 출력 및 배출가스, 연소압력 등을 통해 옥탄가에 의한 연소 상관성을 살펴보았다. 또한, 실제 차량을 통해 옥탄가 차이에 대한 연비 변화를 비교해 보았으며, 가속성 시험을 통해 고성능 요구 구간에 대한 옥탄가의 영향성을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 점화시기를 진각시킴에 따라 높은 옥탄가의 연료가 다소 안정된 연소특성을 보여주었으며, 가속성, 출력시험에서는 약간의 증가를 보였다. 그러나 두 연료 모두 도심 및 고속도로를 모사한 현행 연비모드에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않음에 따라 현재 판매되고 있는 차량의 운행 조건에서는 고옥탄가 연료가 연비에 미치는 영향은 미미한 것으로 나타났다.

단기통 직접분사 가솔린엔진의 성층연소 조건에서 연소실험을 수행하였다. 각 분사압조건마다 실화가 발생하지 않는 성층연소가능 분사시기영역이 존재하였으며 이는 혼합기 형성과정의 분위기압에 따른 영향으로 판단하였다. 연소효율은 분사시기를 지각할수록 증가하며 32~28 CAD BTDC에서 최대값을 갖고 이후 감소하는 경향을 보였고 분사압이 높을수록 높은 연소효율이 나타났다. 이러한 연소효율의 경향은 IMEP와 다른 경향을 보였으며 그 이유는 높은 연소효율 조건에서 연소상이 진각되어 음의 일이 증가하였기 때문으로 판단된다. Smoke의 배출은 분사시기가 지각됨에 따라 증가하였으며 높은 분위기 압에서 국부적으로 농후한 영역이 증가하였기 때문으로 생각된다. NOx 배출도 분사시기를 지각함에 따라 감소하였으며 연소상의 지각으로 최대 연소실압력과 온도가 감소하였기 때문으로 생각된다.
