This paper is the second part of several companion papers which compare the method of Air-fuel ratio(AFR) determination. In the previous paper, Eltinge chart was applied to the arbitrary fuel composition and the charts for gasoline, diesel, methanol, M85, liquefied petroleum gas(LPG), natural gas(NG), propane and butane were illustrated. In Eltinge chart, however, unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) is not used for determination of AFR. For improving accuracy, Eltinge suggested UHC compensation after the AFR reading in the chart. This compensation reduced the difference between real and reading value. In the compensation, however, the correction of oxygen and carbon dioxide is uncertain and there might be a mistake in conversion of UHC reading value. Therefore, the error is overestimated comparing with Spindt one which is most widely used. In addition, there is no comparison of the value with other useful methods. In this paper, the compensation of unburned HC was performed in Eltinge chart and the compensated value was compared with Spindts formula over wide range of AFR. The objects of investigating fuel are gasoline, methanol, NG and LPG. The result shows that Eltinge and Spindt method is flawlessly compatible and the difference between the two methods is under 0.3% in a λrange from 0.9 to 1.7. The method fur debugging instrumentation error is also presented.

Variable nozzles are used to enhance the effectiveness of aircraft engines at various altitudes. Unsynchronized movements of variable nozzle flaps affect the direction of thrust in case the variable nozzle consists of many flaps. A synchronization test system was developed to verify the synchronization characteristics of variable nozzle mechanism including flaps. The test system has a capability to simulate combustion pressure in variable nozzle space. The test system was used to qualify the synchronization characteristics of a variable nozzle flaps affected by magnitude and uniformity of simulated combustion pressure, and time delay of each nozzle actuators.

In order to verify the performance of upper stage propulsion system designed to operate in the upper atmosphere, test facility which can simulate high altitude is needed. Cylindrical supersonic exhaust diffuser, which utilizes the momentum of exhaust gas, provides a simple means for providing a low pressure around the propulsion system. This paper describes sub-systems and specification of high altitude test facility developed for the test of KSLV-I kick motor. Performance of the facility has been successfully verified through five times of hot firing tests.

지구 온난화의 원인이 되는 이산화탄소를 저감하며 유해한 배기가스를 배출하지 않는 수소연료전지자동차(FCV)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 한국가스안전공사에서 현재 구축하고 있는 평가장비는 이러한 수소연료전지자동차용으로 사용되는 고압용기의 수압반복시험 및 밸브류로 구성된 고압수소저장시스템의 단품 및 시스템 평가를 통한 안전신뢰성 검증을 목적으로 하고 있다. 현재 수소연료전지자동차는 차량이나 부품의 시험 방법에 대한 통일된 기준/표준/시험법이 아직 완전하게 정비되어 있지 않고, 시장에서의 도입 제도, 기준 등이 만들어지고 있는 현실이다. 또한 연료로 수소를 사용하는 도입단계에 있기 때문에, 수소용기가 반복압력변동에 따라 어떤 거동을 나타내는지에 대한 실험관련 연구가 미진한 상태이다. 따라서 수소연료전지자동차용 고압수소저장시스템에 대한 내구성, 안전성 확보를 위하여 수소연료전지자동차에서 중요한 부품인 용기에 대한 반복피로시험이 필요하다. 특히 복합재 용기 분야에서 Type3용기에 대한 높은 안전성과 내구성이 보고되고 있지만 실질적으로 얼마나 다른 용기에 비해 높은 성능을 가지고 있는지 국내에서는 체계적으로 검증된바 없다. 따라서 구축된 수압반복 장비를 이용하여 Type3 용기에 대한 수압반복시험을 실시하였으며, 이를 통해 수소용기의 거동을 확인하고자 한다.

Since the oil shock of 1970's there was a strong upward tendency for the use of the high viscosity and poorer quality fuels. Therefore the misfiring engine occurs due to the decrease of quantity injected for lean burn and emission control in CI diesel engine. In this study, it is designed and used the test bed which is installed with turbocharger and intercooler. In addition to equipped using CRDI by controlling injection timing with mapping modulator, it has been tested and analyzed the engine performance, combustion characteristics, and emission as operating parameters.

This study is on the pulsating combustion of premixed gas in a Rijke type combustor made of a honeycomb flame holder in a tube. Modelling for the onset condition of the oscillation is made by the ratio of the acoustic power generation based on the analysis of heat transfer to the power loss due to the thermoviscous dissipation and radiation. Experiment is performed for the characteristics of acoustic, thermal and combustion. It is shown that the theoretical modelling for the oscillation may be used as a limit condition. And the combustion analysis for the acoustic power generation is needed for better prediction of the onset condition. Experimental result shows that, by pulsation, the flame length is shortened and the flame temperature is decreased with increase in the heat transfer coefficient. The NO$_{x}$ concentration in the exhaust gas is significantly reduced by pulsation and the concentration of unburned hydrocarbon shows a little increase.e.

The block copolymers were prepared by the ring opening polymerizati on of DL-lactide by poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with diethylzinc (ZnE$_2$) as a catalyst. When the feed ratio of PEO was over 30% relative to DL-lactide, the polymerization of DL-lactide took place from the PEO hydroxyl terminals to provide the desired A -B-A or A-B block copolymer. The block copolymers were made of films by cast method and the films obtained was drawn to 2.5 times at 60 $\^{C}$. At the same draw ratio, the tensile modulus of the films was decreased with increasing PEO content in the block copolymers. It was therefore suggested that the block copolymers comprising of PDLLA and PEO, had high potentials as the biomaterials with improved flexibility.

$N_2O$(Nitrous Oxide) is known as the third major GHG(Green House Gas) following $CO_2$(Carbon Oxide) and $CH_4$(Methane). The GWP(Global Warming Potential) factor of $N_2O$ is 310 times as large as that of $CO_2$ because $N_2O$ in the atmosphere is very stable, and it becomes a source of secondary contamination after photo-degradation in the stratosphere. Investigation on the cause of the $N_2O$ formation have been continuously reported by several researchers on power sources with continuous combustion form, such as a boiler. However, in the diesel engine, research on $N_2O$ generation which has effected from fuel components has not been conducted. Therefore, in this research, author has investigated about $N_2O$ emission rates which was changed by nitrogen and sulfur concentration in fuel on the diesel engine. The test engine was a 4-stroke direct injection diesel engine with maximum output of 12 kW at 2600rpm, and operating condition of that was set up at a 75% load. Nitrogen and sulfur concentrations in fuel were raised by using six additives : nitrogen additives were Pyridine, Indole, Quinoline, Pyrrol and Propionitrile and sulfur additive was Di-tert-butyl-disulfide. In conclusion, diesel fuels containing nitrogen elements less than 0.5% did not affect $N_2O$ emissions in the all concentrations and kinds of the additive agent in the fuel. However, increasing of the sulfur additive in fuel increased $N_2O$ emission in exhaust gas.

Oxy-combustion with a circulating fluidized bed (Oxy-CFBC) technology has been paid attention to cope with the climate change and fuel supply problem. In addition, Oxy-CFBC technology as one of the methods for carbon dioxide capture is an eco-friendly that can reduce air pollutants, such as $SO_2$, NO and CO through a flue gas recirculation process. The newly developed $100kW_{th}$ pilot-scale Oxy-CFBC system used for this research has been continuously utilizing to investigate oxy-combustion characteristics for various fuels, coals and biomasses to verify the possibility of fuel diversification. The anthracite is known as a low reactivity fuel due to a lot of fixed carbon and ash. Therefore, this study aims not only to improve combustion efficiency of an anthracite, but also to capture carbon dioxide. As a result, compared to air-combustion of sub-bituminous coal, oxy-combustion of anthracite could improve 2% combustion efficiency and emissions of $SO_2$, CO and NO were reduced 15%, 60% and 99%, respectively. In addition, stable operating of Oxy-CFBC could capture above 94 vol.% $CO_2$.
