Kerosene and diesel are compounded fuels with various types of hydrocarbon elements and difficult to model the chemical kinetics. This study focuses on the prediction of the non-equilibrium reaction of fuel-rich combustion with detailed kinetics developed by Dagaut using PSR(perfectly stirred reactor) assumption. In Dagaut's surrogate model for kerosene and diesel, chemical kinetics consists of 2352 reaction steps with 298 chemical species. Also, Frenklach's soot model was implemented along with detailed kinetics to calculate the gas properties of fuel rich combustion efflux.

디젤기관은 실린더 내경의 크기, 실린더 수 및 회전수에 따라 착화지연, 연소지연 및 디젤기관의 각종 정수가 달라지므로 비선형이 심한 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 신경회로망을 이용하여 발전기를 구동하는 디젤 기관의 속도를 제어하는 디젤기관 신경회로망 디지털조속기를 제안한다. 이를 위하여 3상 50㎾ 발전기를 구동하는 4행정 4실린더, 1800 rpm ISUTSU 디젤기관의 실제 운전데이터로부터 뉴럴에뮬레이터를 구한다. 최적치 뉴럴에뮬레이터 구성을 위하여 다양한 역전파알고리즘으로 학습을 행하고 결과를 비교한다. 또한 디젤기관의 역으로부터 뉴럴 제어기를 구성하고 뉴럴에뮬레이터로 시뮬레이션을 행한다. 외란이 존재하는 경우에도 효과적인 뉴럴제어기를 구성하기 위하여 선택적 뉴럴제어 기의 사용을 제안한다. 또한 응답성을 향상하고 정확한 목표치추종을 위하여 PI제어기를 보조제어기로 사용하는 하이브리드제어기를 구성하여 시뮬레이션을 통하여 성능이 향상됨을 보인다.

In this study, a dual fuel engine fueled with natural gas and diesel was tested to investigate the effects of heating value variation of CNG fuel. CNG substitution rate which is defined as the ratio of CNG and diesel supplied in a heating value basis was fixed at 80%. The higher heating value was varied from $10,400kcal/Nm^3$ to $9,400kcal/Nm^3$ by mixing nitrogen gas with pure CNG and diesel fuel was injected at a fixed injection timing. The engine test results showed that thermal efficiency and power output were decreased as the heating value of mixed CNG fuel was decreased. And the peak cylinder pressure was also decreased but the ignition delay time and the combustion duration and timing were almost same.

The performance of a direct-injection type diesel engine often depends on the strength of air flow in the cylinder, shape of combustion chamber, the number of nozzle holes, etc. This is of course because the process of combustion in the cylinder was affected by the mixture formation process. In the present paper, high speed photography was employed to investigate the effectiveness of holes penetrated from the bottom of cavity wall to piston crown for some more useful utilization of air. The holes would function to improve mixing of fuel and air by the increase of air flow in the cylinder. The results obtained are summarized as follows, (1) Activated first of the combustion by shorten of ignition timing and rapid flame propagation (2) Raised the combustion peak pressure, more close to TDC the formation timing of peak pressure.

In this study, the flow field, spray structure, and combustion process were investigated in a direct injection diesel engine having an offset bowl in a combustion chamber. The KIVA-3V code was used in this study. In order to obtain accurate results, a droplet atomization model, wall impingement model, and ignition delay concept were added to KIVA-3V code. The results showed that the offset bowl engine had a large vortex flow. The direction of this flow counteracted to the direction of fuel injection in one side of combustion chamber. It decreased local turbulent kinetic energy and eventually nonuniform combustion was resulted in an offset bowl engine. In comparison with a center bowl engine case, the peak cylinder pressure was decreased about 6%. Finally , the effect of swirl on combustion was investigated in an offset bowl engine . As the became stronger, the nouniform characteristics in combustion were increased.

Ethanol has properties of a lower setting point, higher oxygen contents, lower cetane numbers, and also higher volatility compared to biodiesel. Thus, biodiesel fuel can be improved in the fluidity of blending fuel and exhaust emissions by blended ethanol fuel. This research aims to understand combustion characteristics of biodiesel-ethanol blending fuel inside a constant volume chamber. High speed camera was applied to visualize the physics of development of combustion processes, and combustion pressure and exhaust emissions were measured at several blending ratios of ethanol and biodiesel fuel. This information may contribute to improve the performance of biodiesel engine and reduce emissions in future.

The purpose of the research is to investigate of diesel spray combustion for simultaneously reduction way of NOx and PM. The diesel injection were done into intermediates that are generated by very lean DME HCCI combustion using a RCM. The concentration of intermediate could not be directly measured, so we estimated it by CHEMKIN calculation. Two dimensional spontaneous luminescence images which are created by chemical species reaction at low temperature reaction (LTR) and high temperature reaction (HTR) are captured by using a framing streak camera. Also, combustion events were observed by high-speed direct photography. The ignition and combustion events were analyzed by pressure profiles and the KL values and flame temperatures were analyzed by the two-color method.

In this research, combustion and spray characteristics were investigated experimentally in a constant volume chamber by applying different composition rates of octane number in diesel fuel to a common-rail system. For the visualization, the experiment was carried out under different injection pressures and different cetane number. The test was done by three different types of diesel fuels, the different composition rates of cetane number in diesel fuel and HBD. In summary, this research aims to investigate the combustion characteristics in the application of fuels and compare the results with performance of conventional diesel fuel. This experimental data may provide with fundamentals of the development of diesel engines in future.

A homogeneous premixed charge compression ignition engine has been experimentally studied far the reduction exhaust emissions of diesel engines. In this study, the gasoline fuel is injected into the intake manifold to from homogeneous pre-mixture in the combustion chamber and then this pre-mixture is ignited by small amount of diesel fuel directly injected into the cylinder. In the premixed charge compression ignition engine, NOx and smoke concentration of the exhaust emissions were reduced simultaneously as compared with the conventional diesel engine. The combustion characteristics of premixed charged diesel engine such as the power output, the rate of heat release, and the other characteristics are discussed.

디젤 엔진의 연소 과정에서 흡입공기와 분사된 연료의 최적 혼합기 형성이 배기성분, 연료효율 등 엔진의 성능을 향상시키는데 있어 매우 중요한 과제중의 하나이다. 이를 위하여 연료분무 현상에 대한 연구와 더불어 연소실내 공기유동 현상에 대한 연구가 주요 관심대상이 되어왔다. LDV를 이용한 3-D 유속측정 및 각종 CFD Code를 이용한 유동해석등의 방법으로 엔진 실린더 내부의 유동현상을 이해하는데 많은 도움이 되고 있으나 아직도 엔진연소실설계 등 엔진 개발에 있어서는 종래의 방법에 의한 실린더내 와류 강도의 비교평가에 크게 의존하고 있으므로 여기서는 디젤 엔진의 와류를 측정 평가하는 방법으로 Paddle Wheel회전을 이용한 Paddle Wheel식 Swirl Meter방식과 실린더내 흡입공기의 각 운동량을 측정하는 Impulse식 Swirl Meter 방식에 대해 고찰하고자 한다.
