An object of this study is to understand the correlation of injection characteristics and injector dimensions according to biodiesel mixture. The Injection characteristics of different types of common-rail injectors are the number of nozzle holes (5~8), jet cone angle ($146^{\circ}{\sim}153^{\circ}$), hydraulic flow rate (830~900 ml/min) injection quantity and response time. Prior to characteristic experiment, the reference injector has been selected in 6 candidates injectors under the investigation of injected quantity according to the biodiesel mixture so that injector type can be determined. The injector is used for the characteristic experiment which varied the various operating conditions including pressure 23 MPa, 80 MPa, 160 MPa, changing in injection duration 0.16 ms~1.2 ms and even mixture ratio. The result shows that the nozzle hole number and cone angle influence the injection quantity much more than nozzle hole diameter at low injection pressure and the nozzle hole diameter at high injection pressure, post injection duration.

Recently, lots of researchers have been attracted to develope various alternative fuels and to use renewable fuels as a solution of environmental problems from automobile. The use of biodiesel fuel is an effective way of substituting diesel fuel in the long nun. It is a domestically produced, renewable fuel that can be manufactured from vegetable oils, used vegetable oils, or animal fats. In this study, the usability of biodiesel fuel derived from rice ban oil, one of the oxygenated fuels as an alternative fuel for diesel engines was investigated in IDI diesel engine. Emissions were characterized with neat biodiesel fuel and with a blend of biodiesel fuel and conventional diesel fuel. Since the biodiesel fuel includes oxygen of about 11%, it could influence the combustion process strongly. So, the use of biodiesel fuel resulted in lower emissions of carbon monoxide and smoke emissions with some increase in emissions of oxides of nitrogen. It is concluded that biodiesel fuel can be utilized effectively as a renewable fuel for IDI diesel engine.

Recently, we have a lot of interest in alternative fuels to provide energy independence from oil producing country and to reduce exhaust emissions for air pollution prevention. Biodiesel, which can be generated from natural renewable sources such as new or used vegetable oils or animal fats, may be used as fuel in diesel engine of compression ignition engine. In this paper, the test results on specific fuel consumption and exhaust emissions of neat diesel oil and biodiesel blends(10 vol.% biodiesel and 20 vol.% biodiesel) were presented using four stroke, direct injection diesel engine, especially this biodisel was produced from soybean oil at our laboratory. This study showed that Soot and CO emission were decreased as the blending ratios of biodiesel to diesel oil increased, on the other hand NOx emission was slightly increased because of the oxygen content in biodiesel. Also, the biodiesel blends yielded slightly higher specific fuel consumption than that of diesel oil because of lower heating value of biodiesel.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of nozzle orifice shapes and the nozzle length-to-diameter ratio(L/D) on the nozzle cavitation formation inside the orifice and the external flow pattern. The nozzle used in this work was tested the taper orifice nozzle and the rectangular orifice nozzle which was made from the transparent acrylic acid resin. For studying the effect of the nozzle L/D ratio, it was used to three L/D ratios of 3.33, 10, and 20. The cavitation flow of nozzle was visualized by using the ICCD camera and optical system. This work revealed that the flow rate and discharge coefficient($C_d$) of the taper orifice nozzle was larger than those of the rectangular orifice nozzle at the same injection pressure. The cavitation flow was observed in the nozzle orifice at the low injection pressure and the breakup of liquid jet was promoted as the L/D ratio is decreased. The cavitation of biodiesel fuel was formed at the lower injection pressure than that of diesel fuel because of higher viscosity and density.

Pyrolysis oil (PO), also known as Bio crude oil (BCO), has the potential to displace significant amounts of fuels that are currently derived from petroleum sources. PO has been regarded as an alternative fuel for petroleum fuels to be used in diesel engine. However, the use of PO in a diesel engine requires modifications due to low energy density, high water contents, low acidity, and high viscosity of the PO. One of the easiest way to adopt PO to diesel engine without modifications is emulsification of PO with the fuels that has higher cetane number. However, PO that has high amount of polar chemicals is immiscible with non polar hydrocarbons of diesel. Thus, to stabilize a homogeneous phase of diesel-PO blends, a proper surfactant should be used. In this study, a DI diesel engine operated with diesel and diesel-PO emulsions was experimentally investigated. Performance and gaseous & particle emission characteristics of a diesel engine fuelled by diesel-PO emulsions were examined. Results showed that stable engine operation was possible with the emulsions and engine output power was comparable to diesel operation.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the emission characteristics for various alternative fuels in a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbo-charged diesel engine. The conventional diesel fuel, neat GTL (Gas to Liquid), blends of diesel and biodiesel(BD20), and blends of GTL and biodiesel(G+BD20 and G+BD40) were applied, and their emission characteristics were compared at various steady-state engine operating conditions. A noticeable reduction of exhaust emissions compared to conventional diesel fuel, except for NOx emission, was observed for G+BD40, where there is a maximum 30% averaged reduction for gaseous emissions (THC and CO) and 70% for PM mass concentrations. When comparing PM size distributions for biodiesel blended fuels, the PM number concentration in accumulation mode, where the diameter of PM is greater than 50 nm, decreased due to additional oxygen content in the biodiesel fuel; in nucleation mode, where the diameter of PM is less than 50nm, there was a slight increase or decrease in the PM number concentration depending on the amount of oxygen available in the combustion chamber.

지속가능한 발전과 저탄소 녹색성장의 개념이 대두되면서 우리나라를 비롯한 주요 선진국은 자국의 화석연료 의존도를 낮추고 대체에너지로 환경친화적이며, 청정에너지로 각광받는 신 재생에너지의 활용에 경제적, 정책적 지원을 아끼지 않고 있는 실정이다. 실제로 유럽에서는 바이오매스의 일종인 우드칩을 활용한 가정용 보일러가 보급되고 있으며, 동남아시아에서는 열대식물을 이용한 저온열분해를 활용하여 바이오디젤을 생산하고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 대부분의 바이오매스는 발생되는 임야에서 재이용되거나 경제성이 있을 경우에 운송되어 재활용되고 있으며, 임부목과 같은 일부 바이오매스는 수익성이 없어 발생현지에 방치되는 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서 주목한 왕겨의 경우 미곡종합처리장에서 대량으로 발생되지만 그 활용도에 있어서 축적된 바이오에너지에 비해 에너지회수율이 저조하다고 할 수 있다. 왕겨는 임야에서 발생되는 폐목재나 다른 바이오매스에 비해 함유되어 있는 수분이 적고(12%), 휘발분의 함량이 많으며(58%), 고정탄소(17%), 회분(13%)로 열분해/가스화에 적용가능하다. 본 실험에서 생산된 합성가스의 활용방법으로는 보일러를 이용한 스팀 및 전력생산, 가스엔진을 이용한 전력생산, 폐열회수 등이 있으며 생산된 합성가스를 활용하기 위해서는 오염물질의 정제특성에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 합성가스 내에 존재하는 분진, 타르, HCl, HCN, $NH_3$의 제거효율을 조사하였다.

디젤연료 및 바이오 디젤을 포함하는 디젤연료는 성분 내에 n-파라핀과 포화 지방산 메틸에스테르가 저온에서 결정화가 이루어져 연료의 저온 특성을 감소시키는 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 방지하기 위하여 많은 방법들이 알려져 있으며, 그 중에서 알킬 메타크릴레이트계 중합체가 저온유동특성을 향상시키는 첨가제로 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 LMA (lauryl methacrylate), SMA (stearyl methacrylate)를 각각 측쇄 구조가 다른 알킬 메타크릴레이트를 사용하여 70 : 30의 몰 비율로 라디칼 공중합체를 합성하였다. 합성된 공중합체의 구조는 $^1H$-NMR 및 FT-IR 스펙트럼으로 분석하였으며, GPC로 분자량을 측정하였다. 이 공중합체를 디젤연료에 500~1000 ppm, 바이오디젤을 5%, 20% 함유한 디젤연료(BD5 및 BD20)에 1000~10000 ppm을 각각 첨가하여 유동점, 구름점 및 저온필터막힘점 등의 저온유동특성을 조사하였다. 저온유동특성을 측정한 결과 BD5에서 SMA를 포함한 공중합체 $PSMAmR_2n$에서 첨가 전 대비 유동점 $15^{\circ}C$, 구름점 $6^{\circ}C$, 저온필터막힘점 $10^{\circ}C$ 강하되어 가장 우수한 결과를 나타냈다.

본 연구에서는 유리지방산을 4% 포함한 어유로부터 바이오디젤을 제조하기 위해 산촉매를 이용한 에스테르화 반응과 염기촉매를 이용한 전이에스테르화 반응을 수행하였다. 실험에 사용된 어유는 GS바이오사(社)로부터 공급받은 베트남산 메기(catfish)에서 추출된 오일을 사용하였다. 에스테르화 반응에 대하여 불균질계 고체 산촉매로 Amberlyst-15와 Amberlyst BD-20을 이용하였으며 균질계 산촉매로 황산을 사용하였다. 에스테르화 반응에 의한 유리지방산 제거율이 가장 높은 촉매는 황산으로 나타났으며 반응시간도 가장 짧게 나타났다. 3종의 염기촉매 KOH, $NaOCH_3$, NaOH를 이용하여 어유의 전이에스테르화 반응 특성을 조사한 결과 KOH 촉매가 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. $NaOCH_3$와 NaOH 촉매의 경우 전이에스테르화 반응시 글리세롤과 바이오디젤이 일정한 조건에서 고형화 현상이 관찰되었으며 비누화 반응이 진행된 것으로 판단된다. KOH 촉매를 이용하여 초기 원료 산가와 메탄올 투입량이 전이에스테르화 반응에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 초기 원료오일의 산가는 낮을수록 좋았으며 메탄올과 오일의 몰비는 9:1이 적합한 것으로 도출되었다.
