In this paper, we find a method to improve ignitability using methanol which is prospective as an alternative fuel. The constant volume combuster is divided into main chamber and sub-cham¬ber. These two chambers are linked by an adapter which is shaped like a cup. We also compare CDI to HIS that is revised in our laboratory for making a scrutiny into the effects of ignition char¬acteristics. Besides, we analyze a flame propagation process in the main and sub-chamber through taking pictures 10, 000 frames per second by high speed camera at the state being fabricated quartz glass aside main and sub-chamber.

저수지에 설치된 물순환장치는 저수지 수문상황과 자연조건의 변화에 따라 유동특성이 상이하므로 연구자가 고려하는 다양한 조건에서 현장 측정하기는 불가능하다. 이런 문제를 대체하는 방안으로 전산유체유동(CFD) 모형을 적용한 모사를 실시함으로서 다양한 조건에 따른 효과를 평가할수 있게 된다. 본 연구에서는 전산유체유동을 통한 대류식 물순환장치의 유동영향범위와 수질변화 등을 평가하고, 다양한 조건에서 모사를 실시하여 최적운영방안을 도출하고 실제운영에 활용토록 하고자 한다. 수체거동을 모사하기 위해 실제 저수지를 형상화한 Domain을 3가지로 구성하였다. 첫번째는 반경 20m, 깊이 40m Domain에 물순환장치를 중앙에 설치한 것이며(D20), 두 번째는 반경 40m, 깊이 40m에 두 개의 물순환장치를 양쪽에 설치하였고(D40), 세 번째는 반경 100m, 깊이 40m로 설정(D100)하였고 양쪽에 두 개의 물순환장치를 설치한 것으로 구성하였다. CFD에 의한 개별 대류식 순환장치의 유동모사결과 D20은 시간의 경과에 따라 수온성층이 하강하는 현상이 나타났으며 이러한 결과로 판단할때 40m 간격으로 대류식 순환장치를 설치하여 운영하면 탈성층이 나타날 수 있을것으로 판단되었다. D40에 대하여 CFD에 의한 유동모사를 실시하였으며 시간의 경과에 따라 수온성층의 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과로 판단할때 40m 간격으로 한줄로 대류식 순환장치를 설치하여 운영하면 성층을 깨는 현상은 나타나지 않을 것으로 평가되었다. 반면 Dye테스트시 심층에서 상승한 수체는 수온성층 표면에서 수평방향으로 계속 퍼져 나가면서 옆장치에서 상승된 수체와 혼합이 활발히 이루어 지는 현상을 나타내었다. 장치간 거리가 100m인 대류식 물순환장치에 의한 유동모사시 수온성층의 변화는 전혀 나타나지 않았으며, Dye테스트시 심층에서 상승한 수체는 수온성층 위에서 수평방향으로 퍼져 나가면서 옆에서 가동되는 장치에서 상승된 수체와 혼합 현상을 나타내기는 하나 D40보다 혼합시간이 더 걸리는 것으로 나타났다.

As the environmental pollution becomes serious global problem, the regulation of emission exhausted from automobiles is strengthened. Therefore, it is very important to know how to reduce the NOx and PM simultaneously in diesel engines, which has lot of merits such as high thermal efficiency, low fuel consumption and durability. By this reason, the new concept called as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition(HCCI) engines are spotlighted because this concept reduced NOx and P.M. simultaneously. However, there is trade off between output and NOx in a HCCI engine. In this study, output and emission characteristics for a gasoline direct injection type HCCI engine were investigated to clarify the effects of intake air temperature, injection time and mixture formation. From these experiments, we found that the smoke was not produced when the fuel was injected earlier than BTDC 90$^{\circ}$. In addition, the output was increased because of delay of ignition time and NOx emission was decreased because of homogeneous charge of first injection in case of split injection.

The thermal stratification effect has been thought as one of the way to avoid dramatically generating the heat from HCCI combustion. We investigate the effect of thermal stratification on HCCI combustion fueled by DME and n-Butane. The thermal stratification occurs in a combustion chamber of a rapid compression machine with premixture by buoyancy effect that is made of fuel and air. The premixture is then adiabatically compressed, and during the process, the in-cylinder gas pressure is measured and two-dimensional chemiluminescence images are prepared and analyzed. Under the thermal stratification, the LTR starting time and the HTR starting time are advanced than that of homogeneous case. Further, the LTR period and the luminosity duration under homogeneous conditions are shorter than the corresponding quantities under stratified conditions. Additionally, under stratified conditions, the brightest luminosity intensity is delayed longer than that of homogeneous condition.

To simulate the combustion process under stratified charged conditions, like GDI engines, the new combustion model is proposed, which is based on Welter's FAE model and Peters' PDF model for considering primary reactions. In addition to these models, the new laminar burning velocity correlation and diffusion flame model are also included in the proposed model. The former can be applicable to much wider range of equivalence ratio, pressure and temperature than the others, such as Keck's and Guilder's models, and the latter has been derived from water-gas shift reaction and hydrogen oxidation, by which the secondary reactions can be considered after primary reactions. 3-D computation has been performed by using STAR-CD v3.05 in the simple cylindrical geometry under stratified charged condition. Judging from the calculated results, the present model proves to be reasonable to simulate the characteristics of flame propagation and concentrations of products in burned regions.

Stratified charge has been thought as one of the ways to avoid a sharp pressure rise on HCCI combustion. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of stratified charge for reducing PRR on HCCI combustion. The pre-mixture with thermal, mixing and EGR stratifications is charged in Rapid Compression Machine. After that, the pre-mixture is compressed and in that process, in-cylinder gas pressure and temperature are analyzed. Additionally numerical calculation with multi-zones modeling is run to know the potential of stratified charge for reducing PRR.

Paldang Reservoir serves as a crucial water source for the metropolitan area, and national efforts are focused on water quality management. The region near Paldang Dam, where the water intake facility with the greatest depth is located, experiences vertical stratification during the summer. It has been challenging to definitively classify whether this stratification is caused by density currents or summer temperatures. This study aimed to differentiate and analyze stratification due to density currents and temperature variations at key locations in the Paldang Reservoir through vertical water quality measurements. The results allowed us to distinguish between density current and temperature-induced stratification. We found that density currents are primarily caused by temperature differences among inflowing rivers, with flow velocity significantly influencing their persistence. Additionally, based on a combination of monsoon and non-monsoon season characteristics, we classified Paldang Reservoir into regions with distinct river and lake traits.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effects of the injection timing on the spray and combustion characteristics in a spray-guided direct-injection spark-ignition (DISI) engine under lean stratified operation. An in-cylinder pressure analysis, exhaust emissions measurement, and visualization of the spray and combustion were employed in this study. The combustion in a stratified DISI engine was found to have both lean premixed and diffusion controlled flame combustion characteristics. The injection timing condition corresponding to the stratified mixture characteristics was verified to be a dominant factor for these flame characteristics. For the early injection timing, a non-luminous blue flame and low combustion efficiency were observed as a result of the lean homogeneous mixture formation. On the other hand, a luminous sooting flame was shown at the late injection timing because of an under-mixed mixture formation. In addition, the smoke emission and incomplete combustion products were increased at the late injection timing as a result of the increased locally rich area. On the other hand, the NOx emissions decreased and IMEP increased as the injection timing retarded. The combustion phasing produced by the injection timing was verified as the reason for this observation.

Fuel stratification and thermal stratification occur in the HCCI combustion chamber on a microscopic scale. They affect the ignition and combustion processes. In this study, the effect of the inhomogeneity in the mixture gas on the HCCI combustion process was investigated. Two-dimensional chemiluminescence images were captured using a framing camera to evaluate the flame structure. DME was used as the test fuel. First, the effect of inhomogeneity in the fuel distribution in the premixture was investigated for the four-stroke optically accessible engine. Then, by comparing the combustion of the homogeneous mixture in the rapid compression machine, which does not contain any residual gas, with the combustion in the four-stroke engine, the effect of inhomogeneity in temperature due to the residual gas was analyzed. The results showed that a time lag appears spatially in combustion under inhomogeneous conditions in the four-stroke engine. The spatial variation in the combustion without the residual gas in the rapid compression machine is less than that in the combustion in the four-stroke engine.

The HCCI engine is a prospective internal combustion engine with which high diesel-like efficiencies and very low NOx and particulate emissions can be achieved. However, several technical issues must be resolved before HCCI engines can be used for different applications. One of the issues concerning the HCCI engine is that the operating range of this engine is limited by the rapid pressure rise caused by the release of excessive heat. This heat release is because of the self-accelerated combustion reaction occurring in the engine and the resulting engine knock in the high-load region. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of thermal stratification and fuel stratification in reducing the pressure rise rate in an HCCI engine. The concentrations of NOx and CO in the exhaust gas are also evaluated to confirm combustion completeness and NOx emission. The computation is carried out with the help of a multizone code, by using the information on the detailed chemical kinetics and the effect of thermal and fuel stratification on the onset of ignition and rate of combustion. The engine is fueled with dimethyl ether (DME), which allows heat release to occur in two stages, as opposed to methane, which allows for heat release in a single stage.
