Cylinder-pressure based combustion analysis provides a mechanism through which a combustion researcher can understand the combustion process. This paper was to identify the most significant sources of cycle-to-cycle combustion variability in a spark ignition engine at idle. To analyse the cyclic variation in the test engine, the burn parameters are determined on a cycle-to-cycle basis through analysis of the engine pressure data. The burn rate analysis program was used in the analysis of the data. Burn parameters were used to determine the variations in the input parameter-i.e., fuel, air, residual mass, and so on.

본 연구는 라디칼 착화(Radical Ignition이하 RI) 기술을 적용한 부실직분식 CNG(Compressed Natural Gas) 엔진의 구동특성에 관한 것이다. 실험엔진은 단기통 디젤엔진을 개조하여 사용하였으며, 이는 부실식 디젤엔진처럼 연소실이 주실과 부실로 나누어져 있다. 부실에 분사된 CNG는 스파크플러그로 점화하며, 부실로 부터의 연소가스가 주실 희박 혼합기를 시켜 구동하는 엔진이다. RI 기술은 연소속도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구는 주로 저부하 RI-CNG 엔진의 성능을 연구하였다. 연료분사기간은 9 ms, 공기과잉률은 1.0, 1.2, 1.4로 하였다. 연료분사시기는 엔진의 배가밸브가 닫히는 ATDC $20^{\circ}CA$ 부터 $120^{\circ}CA$ 사이로, $20^{\circ}CA$ 간격으로 지각시켜 가며 실험하였다. 본 연구는 연료분사시기 및 공기과잉률이 연소최고압력 ($P_{max}$), 연소최고압력시기(${\Theta}_{pmax}$), 도시평균유효압력(IMEP), 사이클 변동계수($COV_{imep}$), 연소속도에 미치는 양향 등을 구하고 분석하였다.

An experimental study for reducing the exhaust hydrocarbon emission at spark ignition engine using timed secondary air injection is carried out . In this study, secondary air injection timings and durations are controlled to decrease the hydrocarbon emission and to increase exhaust gas temperature at cold and warm-up engine conditions. The hydrocarbon reduction rate and exhaust gas temperature are compared between timed secondary air injection and continuous air injection. The optimum secondary air injection timing for reducing the hydrocarbon emission is at the exhaust valve open timing. At some engine conditions , the hydrocarbon emissions are decreased to 10% of engine raw values and exhaust gas temperatures increase by 20$0^{\circ}C$ with times secondary air injection . Timed secondary air injection has more hydrocarbon reduction rate that continuous secondary air injection except some engine conditions.

In this study, to research in-cylinder flow characteristics of spark-ignited engine with intake valve closing timing change for Miller cycle. 3D simulation study were used 6 different intake valve profile with $CAD10^{\circ}$ gap for retard intake valve closing timing. Comparison of In-cylinder flow pattern characteristic were accompanied between Base and LIVC. And the efficiency of volume and the work of compression were analyzed with simulation study. When intake valve closing angle was retarded in $CAD50^{\circ}$, the pressure in cylinder was decreased about 12~13 bar and volume efficiency was reduced about 16%. The efficiency of volume and the work of compression were reduced on LIVC.

In order to research engine characteristics of spark-ignited engine with intake valve closing timing change for Miller cycle, two cam for LIVC(Late Intake Valve Closing) were designed and fabricated an prototype valvetrain. And intake valve closing timing were adjusted to build low compressing and high expansion cycle for HEV. In experimental study, it were investigated with different engine speed, spark timing and air-fuel ratio to compare base cam and LIVC cam type. It was found that the volumetry efficiency and effective work of compression process were decreased in case of LIVC cam. When compared with the existing results, the maximum pressure in the cylinder was reduced about 12~13 bar and the volumetric efficiency was reduced about 16%.
