The combustion performances and characteristics of the subscale liquid rocket combustion chamber are discussed in this paper. Subscale combustion chamber is composed of mixing head, ablative cooling cylinder, and water cooling nozzle. The mixing head has eighteen coaxial swirl injectors and one center coaxial swirl injector for ignition. The mixing heads employing the injectors of low different recess length are considered in this paper. The results of the firing test, comparison of performance, and characteristics of static and dynamic pressures of the four different mixing heads are described. The characteristics of combustion at design and of design points are also discussed.

This study is to investigate the effects of water induction through the air intake system on the characteristics of combustion and exhaust emissions in diesel engine. The effects of water induction through the air intake port were considered in IDI diesel engine in this study. The formation of NOx was significantly suppressed by decreasing the gas peak temperature during the initial combustion process because the water play a role as a heat sink during evaporating in the combustion chamber, but the smoke was slightly increased with increased water amount. Also, NOx significantly decreased with increase in water amount. A simultaneous reduction in smoke and NOx emissions can be obtained when water is injected into the combustion chamber by retarding the fuel injection timing more than without water injection.

This study was carried out to reduce NOx emissions from diesel engine and to investigate the variation of engine performance using the water injection. In this study the water was extracted from the exhaust gas and injected directly into the intake port with the inlet charge. The water condensing system operated as a closed system without any supplementary water supply. The experimental parameters such as the revolution the torque and the water injection rate are varied and the result from this experiment found the significant NOx reduction whereas the smoke emission increases as water/air ratio increases as the cases like the EGR. In spite of increasing the quantity of the water injection the engine output was slightly decreased and the specific fuel consumption was increased as was anticipated. Especially the system was founded to be effective on the reduction of the NOx emissions at the high load region relatively.

The gas jet from a coaxial porous injector for two-phase flows is discharged from the porous surface, which encloses the center liquid jet, and the gas and liquid jet interact with each other physically. The wall injected gas jet transfers the radial momentum effectively while the radial gas jet develops to axial jet, and the performance of atomizing and mixing can be improved. In this study, the Weber number and the ratio of momentum flux were controlled by changing the gas injection area and the mass flow rate of the gas jet, and a study on the spray characteristics at the cold-flow test using water and air simulant was performed. It is concluded that the radial momentum transfer concept of a coaxial porous injector gives a positive effect on the atomization and mixing of the two-phase spray.

This paper described the effect of the multiple injections on the stability of combustion and emission characteristics in a direct injection diesel engine at various operating conditions. In order to investigate the influence of multiple injections in a diesel engine, the fuel injection timing was varied one main injection and two pilot injections at various conditions. The experimental apparatus consisted of DI diesel engine with four cylinders, EC dynamometer, multi-stage injection control system, and exhaust emissions analyzer. The combustion and emission characteristics were analyzed for the main, pilot-main injection, pilot-pilot-main injection strategies. It is revealed that the combustion pressure was smoothly near the top dead center and the coefficient of variations is reduced due to the effect of pilot injection. Also, $NO_x$ emissions are dramatically decreased with pilot injection because the decrease of rate of heat release. However, the soot is increased at early pilot injection and main injection.

A numerical study was conducted to investigate the effects of the spray characteristics of water mist on the attenuation of thermal radiation. The attenuation process of the thermal radiation, generated from a hot surface panel, passing through the water mist was calculated via Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), and the effects of the flow rate, droplet mean diameter, and spray injecting angle of the water mist were analyzed. The results indicated that the increase in flowrate and decrease in droplet size led to an increase in the attenuation of thermal radiation. As the thermal radiation passed through the spray droplets, the effect of the spatial distribution of spray droplets was verified by calculating the thermal radiation attenuation at different spray injecting angles. The results indicated that the radiation attenuation increases as the spray angle increases. This implies that a wider distribution of spray droplets, irrespective of the droplet size and flowrate, increases the attenuation effect on thermal radiation.

The objective of this study was to investigate, using a numerical method, the fuel injection targeting for improving the combustion performance in a HSDI diesel engine. In this work, the ECFM-3Z model was applied as the combustion model, and the injection mass, inclined spray angle, and injection timing were varied for the study on the targeting of fuel spray. The results of this work were compared in terms of cylinder pressure, rate of heat release, and exhaust emissions characteristics. It was found that the cylinder pressure increased when the injection timing was advanced, and the rate of heat release increased when more fuel was injected into the piston bowl. In addition, $NO_x$ emission increased owing to the increase in the rate of heat release. On the other hand, CO and soot emissions decreased because of the improvement in combustion performance.

해양경찰 소형 경비정에 주로 장착되었던 물분사(water jet type) propeller가 중대형 경비함으로 점차 확대되고 있으며, 축 형식은 2~4축, 유동을 제어하는 bucket 유형도 DRB, CSU(SRB) 방식으로 나뉘어져 있다. 그러나, W/Jet 추진기 고유의 운동 특성이 반영된 조함법의 연구가 부족한 편이다. 여기서는 함정에 장착된 W/Jet 유형별 SHS를 통하여 직접 구현해 보고, SHS 구현이 현실적으로 어려운 함정은 해양경찰 함정장들의 면담을 통하여 습득한 것을 이론적으로 구현 제시하여, 함정 조함시 지식적인 인적오류를 최소화하여 W/jet 추진기가 장착된 함정 승조원의 조함 능력 향상 및 안전운항에 기여하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 미세 물분무 노즐의 소화성능을 분석하기 위해 유량계수, 방사거리, 방사각도, 그리고 작동압력에 따라 분사되는 물입자 크기를 측정하였다. 이를 위해서 이중 구조의 미세 물분무 노즐 LPN-61과 LPN-63을 제작하였으며, 미분무 소화설비를 구성하여 이중구조 노즐의 형상에 따라서 유동특성을 정량화하였다. 그 결과 LPN-61은 유량계수 5.116, 방사각 $120^{\circ}{\sim}125^{\circ}$로 작동압력이 $4kgf/cm^2$에서 $10kgf/cm^2$까지 증가함에 따라서 SMD는 $127{\mu}m$정도에서 $88{\mu}m$까지 입자 크기가 감소하였으며, LPN-63은 유량계수 5.121, 방사각도 $120^{\circ}{\sim}125^{\circ}$로 동일한 작동압력 범위에서 SMD는 $108{\mu}m$에서 $80{\mu}m$까지 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

An exergy analysis is carried out for the regenerative wet-compression Brayton cycle which has a potential of enhanced thermal efficiency owing to the reduced compression power consumption and the recuperation of exhaust energy. Using the analysis model, the effects of pressure ratio and water injection ratio are investigated on the exergy efficiency of system, exergy destruction ratio for each component of the system, and exergy loss ratio due to exhaust gas. The results of computation for the typical cases show that the regenerative wet-compression gas turbine cycle can make a notable enhancement of exergy efficiency. The injection of water results in a decrease of exergy loss of exhaust gas and an increase of net power output.
