EGR system has been widely used to reduce NOx emission in light duty diesel engines, but its application to heavy duty diesel engine is not common yet. In this study, simulation model for EURO-3 engine was developed using commercial code WAVE and then verified by comparison with experimental results in performance and emission. Possibility to meet EURO-4 regulation using modified EURO-3 engine with LPL EGR system was studied. Each components of the engine was modeled using CATIA and WaveMesher. The engine test mode was ESC 13 and injection timing and quantity were changed to compensate engine performances, because applying EGR causes power reduction. As a results of the simulation, it was found that EURO-4 NOx regulation could be achieved by applying LPL EGR system to current EURO-3 engine even with some BSFC deterioration.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the effects of configuration of burner and air excess ratio on CO & NOx emission characteristics of the cooktop burners which are used extensively. In this study, the combustion characteristics were investigated with the variation of design factor of cooktop burners. The results showed that as the thermal input increases, flammable region go narrower. With the increase of loading height from the cap to grate, the CO emission decrease owing to the reduction of quenching by flame impingement on the load. Additionally, the CO emission increase with angle of main slot, however the NO emission is almost unaffected.

SPOES(Self Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy)는 반도체 및 LCD 제조 장비의 Foreline에 장착되는 센서로써, Foreline에 흐르는 Gas를 이온화시켜 이때 발생되는 빛을 분광시켜 공정의 상태 및 장비의 상태등을 종합적으로 점검할 수 있는 센서입니다. SPOES의 최대 장점은 공정 장비에 영향을 주기 않으면서 공정을 진단할 수 있고, 장비의 메인챔버에서 플라즈마 방전이 발생하지 않는 RPS (Remote Plasma System)등에 적용이 가능하며, 설치 및 분해이동과 운용이 용이한 장점이 있습니다. 하지만, SPOES는 오염성 가스 및 물질에 의한 오염에 취약한 단점이 있습니다. 예컨대, 플라즈마 방전에 의한 부산물들이 SPOES의 내부에 있는 윈도우의 렌즈에 부착되어 감도를 저하시켜, SEOES의 수명을 단축시킵니다. 또한 오염 물질이 SPOES 내부의 방전 CHAMBER에 증착되어 플라즈마 방전 효울을 저하시켜 센서의 효율을 저하시킵니다. 예를들면, 장비의 공정 챔버에서 배출되는 탄소와 같은 비금속성 오염물질과 텅스텐과 같은 금속성 오염물질이 SPOES의 방전 CHAMBER 내벽과 윈도우에 증착되어 오염을 유발합니다. 오염이 진행된 SPOES는 방전 CHAMBER의 오염으로 CHAMBER의 유전율을 변화시켜, 플라즈마 방전 효율의 저하를 가져오고, 윈도우의 오염은 빛의 투과율을 저하시켜, OES 신호의 감도를 저하시켜, SPOES 감도를 저하시키는 요인으로 작용합니다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기위한 방법으로 능동형 오염 방지 기술을 채용 하였습니다. 능동형 오염 방지 기법은 SPEOS의 방전 챔버에서 플라즈마 방전시 발생하는 진공의 밀도차를 이용하는 기술과 방전 챔버와 연결된 BYPASS LINE에 의해 발생되는 오염물질 자체 배기 시스템, 그리고 고밀도 플라즈마 방전을 일으키는 멀티 RF 기술 및 고밀도 방전을 일으키는 챔버 구조로 구성 되어 있습니다. 능동형 오염 방지 기법으로 반도체 공정에서 6개월 이상의 LIFETIME을 확보 할 수 있고, 고밀도 플라즈마로 인한 UV~NIR 영역의 감도 향상등을 확보 할 수 있습니다.

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.

The now velocity distribution at inlet of diesel Particulate filter (DPF) which is connected to each curved duct was simulated using $STAR-CD^{(R)}$. Three kinds of models which describe the shapes of the curved duct ware used for the CFD simulation. The simulation results were compared with the experimental data of velocity distribution which was obtained using a Pitot tube and 2-D positioning machine. At the $90^{\circ}$ curved connecting condition, the CFD simulation results of flow velocity distribution at inlet of the DPF showed a horse hoop shape shifted from the axial center line of the DPF. The CFD simulation results agree reasonably with those of the experiments.

NOx and PM are important air pollutants as vehicle management policy aspect. Medium-duty truck is the main source of the pollutants although the vehicle market share is only 3.5%. National emission portion of NOx and PM form the mobile sourece are 14% and 16% respectively. In this study it was investigated that characteristics of air pollutants emission on medium duty truck equipped with EGR and SCR system. Vehicle's test reflected driving cycle on the chassis dynamometer, and applied test cycle was WHVC(World Harmonized Vehicle Cycle) mode. The test cycle include three segments, represent urban, rural and motorway driving. Based on the test results NOx, PM, HC were less emitted form SCR vehicle than EGR vehicle. And CO was less emitted form EGR vehicle than SCR vehicle due to CO oxidation reaction on DPF surface. And most air pollutants reduced as average vehicle speed increased. Pollutants were less emitted on motorway section than urban and rural sections. But highly NOx emission on motorway section was verified according to increased EGR ratio on fast vehicle speed. HC and CO additional emission was identified as 68%, 58% respectively during SCR vehicle's cold engine start emission test. NOx additional emission was detected by 24% on SCR vehicle's condition of engine cold start while not detected on vehicle equipped with EGR. SCR vehicle's additional NOx emission was derived from low reaction temperature during engine cold start condition. medium-duty truck emission characteristics were investigated in this study and expected to used to improve air pollutants management policy of medium-duty truck equipped with SCR & EGR.

In order to meet the stricter emission regulations, the proportion of after-treatments for vehicles and vessels has been increasing gradually. The objective of this study is to investigate the physicochemical properties according to ash cleaning agents of CDPF for Diesel Engines. Penetrating agents with strong penetration into ash and a surfactant component to mix water and oil were prepared properly. The cleaning characteristics of S1 sample were good. Washcoat loss rate of S1 sample was lower by about 2.2% because of less KOH component and lower Na2SiO3 content. Washcoat loss rate of S4 sample with an added KOH and Na2SiO3 components by penetration agents was increased by about 13%. In terms of less than about 13% of CDPF's washcoat loss rate, it was able to reduce the harmful gas components.

Due to environmental pollution, hazards of the human body, and global warning, changes in the power train of automobiles are intensifying, and the market forelectronic vehicles is rising. Also, in order to meet the stricter emission regulations forautomobiles with internal combustion engines based on fossil fuel, the proportion of after-treatments for vehicles and vessels is increasing gradually. The objective of this study is to investigate the effectsfrom additive ceric oxide ($CeO_2$) loading amounts to improve the methane ($CH_4$) and nitric oxide (NOx) abatement ability of the natural gas oxidation catalysts(NGOC) reducing toxic gases emitted from compressed natural gas (CNG) buses. Three kinds of NGOC were prepared under the following conditions: fresh and $700^{\circ}C$ for 12hr thermal aging, and the reduction performance of toxic gases was evaluated. Fresh $1Pt-3Pd-1Rh-3MgO-6CeO_2/(Al+Z)$ NGOC containing 6wt% $CeO_2$ had the highest dispersivity of palladium (Pd) with high selectivity to $CH_4$ and improved harmful gas reduction performance. The NGOC with 6wt% $CeO_2$ loaded the least decreased in the dispersivity of the noble metal, and showed the highest reduction of harmful gases due to the thermal durability of $CeO_2$.

Real-time measurements of fine particles from stack emission gases are necessary due to the needs of continuous environmental monitoring of PM10 and PM2.5. The porous tube dilutor using hot and cold dilutions was developed to measure fine particles without condensable particles from highly humid emission gases and compared to the commercialized ejector-type dilutor. Particle size distributions were measured at the emission gases from a diesel engine and a coal-fired boiler. The porous tube dilutor could successfully measure the accumulation mode particles including relatively large particles more than $3{\mu}m$ without nuclei particles, while the ejector dilutor detected some condensable particles and could not detect large particles. The porous tube dilutor could successfully remove the already condensed water droplet particles generated by a humidifier in a $30m^3$ chamber.
