Even if EGR is known as a technology which dramatically reduces NOx emission, its application is a quite complicate since it affects fuel economy and increase of PM emission. Therefore, it is a very important issue to investigate an optimal EGR rate considering all engine parameters. This research was numerically conducted to predict combustion and emission characteristics with respect to various EGR rates.

Low temperature diesel combustion was achieved via a combination of late injection timing ($8.5^{\circ}$ CA BTDC to $0.5^{\circ}$ CA BTDC) and heavy exhaust gas recirculation (37% to 48%) with ultra low sulfur Swedish diesel fuel in a 1.7L common rail direct injection diesel engine. When injection timing is retarded at a certain exhaust gas recirculation rate, the particulate matter and nitrogen oxides decease simultaneously, while the hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide increase. Hydrocarbon speciation by gas chromatography using a flame ionization detector reveals that the ratio of partially burned hydrocarbon, i.e., mainly alkenes increase as the injection timing is retarded and exhaust gas recirculation is increased. The two most abundant hydrocarbon species are ethene which is a representative species of partially burned hydrocarbons, and n-undecane, which is a representative species of unburned hydrocarbons. They may be used as surrogate hydrocarbon species for performing a bench flow reactor test for catalyst development.

In this paper the new revision of Korean Airworthiness Standards (KAS) - Emissions was proposed for enforced environmental standards. The Aircraft Engine Fuel Venting and Exhaust Emissions Requirements have been only defined for smoke, HC, CO and NOx as management items in previous KAS. However, this standard has not covered the current situation that International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enforced environmental regulations, such as emissions trading system, limitation of CO₂ emissions and restriction of exhaust gas. In order to overcome these outdated situations, we presented the new requirements for aircraft exhaust gas emissions standard of Korea based on the latest standards of United States, Europe and other countries.

A fire resistance certification needs to be obtained before fire protection paint can be used in Korea. In the case of paint, the tests for certification are fire, gas hazard and bond strength. According to the hazard test standard of combustion gas, 16 mice are sacrificed every test. Therefore, there are ethical problems for the experimenter and legal problems for the laboratory. Accordingly, many alternatives are being assessed, such as combustion gas analysis, but they have not replaced animal testing yet. With gas hazard testing, the exhaust gas temperature can be measured. The property of the initial reaction of a specific fire paint can be characterized by this temperature. The purpose of this study was to consider the improvement point for a gas hazard test through comparative analysis of the exhaust temperature and the time of death of the mice.

Atmospheric pollutant emissions, mainly exhaust gas emissions from vessels, and the resultant social costs of pollution in the Korean harbor cities of Incheon, Mokpo, Gwangyang, Busan and Ulsan, are examined in this study, and the need for an emissions reduction plan is highlighted. Busan had several vessels entering its port, while Mokpo had few vessels, yet the vessels emission contribution was high in both the cities. Ulsan had world-class heavy-chemical industries, Gwangyang had steel mills and Incheon had a manufacturing industry and more vessels entering its port than Mokpo, yet the emission contribution was low in these cities. By calculating exhaust gas emissions from the vessels, it was found that CO₂ was the highest, followed by NOx and SOx. By vessel type, Busan, Ulsan, and Incheon had more oil tank vessels, Gwangyang had more cargo vessels, and Mokpo had more ferries. As a result of social cost, Busan paid the highest, while the highest emission was PM. The use of low-sulfur oil can directly reduce PM and, SOx emissions and indirectly reduce NOx emissions. However, in order to reduce high CO₂ emissions, only low-sulfur oil will not help. Therefore, the study suggested the need for reduction plan that use of fossil fuels, by using alternative maritime power (AMP).

In this study, for the purpose of reduction of $CO_2$ gas emission and to increase recovery of waste heat from ships, the ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) is investigated and offered for the conversion of temperature heat to electricity from waste heat energy from ships. Simulation was performed with waste heat from the exhaust gasse which is relatively high temperature and cooling sea water which is relatively low temperature from ships. Various fluid is used for simulation of the ORC system with variable temperature and flow condition and efficiency of system and output power is compared. Finally, 2,400kW output power is obtained by system optimization of the preheater and reheater utilizing waste heat form sea water cooling system.

In this paper it is proposed to solve the problem of particulate matter reducing apparatus of the current DPF. One exhaust gas passage 2-way controlled to purify the exhaust gas generated during combustion efficiently. Through the control of the rotary valve within a single device, it is possible to prevent the exhaust pressure increases due to particulate matter accumulate inside the developing DPF. Develop DPF device capable of inducing a high efficiency of the output in order to improve the problem of reducing the engine output and fuel efficiency.

대체 에너지 자원 중 폐기물의 소화 가스를 이용한 바이오가스 발전은 이산화탄소에 비해 온실효과 영향력에 21배에 해당하는 메탄가스를 연료로 사용하여 환경부하를 저감시키고 에너지를 생산한다. 바이오가스에 포함된 $H_2S$는 연소 후 $SO_2$형태로 발생되는데 $SO_2$는 수분과 반응을 하게 되면 $H_2SO_4$등의 강한 산성을 띄는 물질로 생성되어 배관 및 발전기에 손상을 주고 저온부식현상을 유발하게 하며, 동물이나 인체에 노출되면 기관지 수축현상이 일어나 호흡기에 영향을 주는 질식성을 띄는 가스이다. 축산바이오가스에 포함된 $H_2S$의 함유량과 가스엔진의 연소 시 배출되는 $SO_2$ 배기가스 성분의 관련성을 검증하기 위해 60-65%의 $CH_4$와 30-35%의 $CO_2$ 성분의 바이오가스를 50kW급 발전기에서 사용하였고 연소 후 배출되는 가스 성분을 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 가스온수기 사용 중에 발생하는 배기가스중의 일산화탄소 중독사고를 예방하기 위하여 사용자부주의, 설치불량 및 안전장치의 결함을 분석하고 문제점을 통해 사고예방대책을 강구하기 위한 것이다. 가스중독 사고 예방을 위해서는 목욕탕 또는 환기가 잘되지 아니하는 곳에 설치하지 않으며, 사용자는 창문 등으로 반드시 열어 사용하도록 한다. 열교환기 등의 부식이나 막힘 등에 대한 점검을 누락되지 않도록 하며, 전문 업체에 등록된 자가 시공하도록 한다. 안전 점검시 안전장치의 이상 유무 등을 점검한다. 즉, 가스온수기는 환기가 불량한 장소에 설치하는 경우 배기가스가 외부로 배출되지 못하고 실내에 체류하는 경우에 일산화탄소중독에 의한 사고로 이어지고 있기 때문에 예방대책에서 제시한 부분은 중독 사고를 예방하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.

UEGI (Unburned Exhaust Gas Ignition) is an alternative method for fast light-off of a catalyst. It ignites the unburned exhaust mixture using two glow plugs installed in the upstream of the close-coupled catalysts. In addition, a hydrocarbon adsorber was applied to the UEGI, for more effective reduction of HC emission. Engine bench tests show that the CCC reaches the light-off temperature laster than the baseline exhaust system and HC and CO emissions are reduced significantly during the cold start. From the vehicle test, it was observed that a few amount of HC emission was reduced even the catalysts were aged. It is expected to develop a solution kit applicable to a new vehicle or used one, to meet the emission regulation
