The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system is a highly-effective aftertreatment device for NOx reduction of diesel engines. Generally, the ammonia ($NH_3$) was generated from reaction mechanism of SCR in the SCR system using the liquid urea as the reluctant. Therefore, the precise urea dosing control is a very important key for NOx and $NH_3$ slip reduction in the SCR system. This paper investigated NOx and $NH_3$ emission characteristics of urea-SCR dosing system based on model-based control algorithm in order to reduce NOx. In the map-based control algorithm, target amount of urea solution was determined by mass flow rate of exhaust gas obtained from engine rpm, torque and $O_2$ for feed-back control NOx concentration should be measured by NOx sensor. Moreover, this algorithm can not estimate $NH_3$ absorbed on the catalyst. Hence, the urea injection can be too rich or too lean. In this study, the model-based control algorithm was developed and evaluated on the numerical model describing physical and chemical phenomena in SCR system. One channel thermo-fluid model coupled with finely tuned chemical reaction model was applied to this control algorithm. The vehicle test was carried out by using map-based and model-based control algorithms in the NEDC mode in order to evaluate the performance of the model based control algorithm.

In the past few years, considerable efforts have been directed towards the further development of Urea-SCR(selective catalytic reduction) technique for diesel-driven vehicle. Although urea possesses considerable advantages over Ammonia$(NH_3)$ in terms of toxicity and handling, its necessary decomposition into Ammonia and carbon dioxide complicates the DeNOx process. Moreover, a mobile SCR system has only a short distance between engine exhaust and the catalyst entrance. Hence, this leads to not enough residence times of urea, and therefore evaporation and thermolysis cannot be completed at the catalyst entrance. This may cause high secondary emissions of Ammonia and isocyanic acid from the reducing agent and also leads to the fact that a considerable section of the catalyst may be misused for the purely thermal steps of water evaporation and thermolysis of urea. Hence the key factor to implementation of SCR technology on automobile is fast thermolysis, good mixing of Ammonia and gas, and reducing Ammonia slip. In this context, this study performs three-dimensional numerical simulation of urea injection of heavy-duty diesel engine under various injection pressure, injector locations and number of injector hole. This study employs Eulerian-Lagrangian approach to consider break-up, evaporation and heat and mass-transfer between droplet and exhaust gas with considering thermolysis and the turbulence dispersion effect of droplet. The SCR-monolith brick has been treated as porous medium. The effect of location and number of hole of urea injector on the uniformity of Ammonia concentration distribution and the amount of water at the entrance of SCR-monolith has been examined in detail under various injection pressures. The present results show useful guidelines for the optimum design of urea injector for reducing Ammonia slip and improving DeNOx performance.

디젤 차량의 유해배출가스인 질소산화물 저감을 위해서는 정화성능이 우수한 요소첨가 선택적 촉매환원장치가 장착되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 오일러리안-라그랑지안 전산유체해석을 통해 요소첨가 선택적 촉매환원장치의 수송현상에 따른 화학반응과 다상유동 특성을 수치적으로 예측한다. 이때, 수치적인 분무형상은 가시화실험에서 측정된 분사속도, 분무관통길이, 분무반경, 평균액적지름과 비교를 통해 보정되었다. 그리고 해석 결과는 실제 엔진 및 차량 시험에서 측정한 질소산화물 저감효율과 비교를 통해 검증되었으며, 상대오차 5% 이하의 정확도를 보여준다. 검증된 전산모델은 요소첨가 선택적 촉매환원장치의 내부유동해석에 사용되었으며, 이를 통해 압력강하와 속도증가 특성을 분석하고, 암모니아의 농도균일도와 과잉분포 위치를 예측한다.

1. 여재순환장치는 사각프레임 형태로 설계 제작하였으며, 고액분리장치, 여재순환구 동축 및 날개, 압축공기 분사장치와 여재 및 액비배출장치로 구성되었다. 2. 고액분리한 돈슬러리를 장치에 투입하여 가동을 한 결과, 톱밥을 여재로 이용했을 때 $BOD_5$는 52.8, $COD_{Mn}$ 57.3, SS 26.9, T-N 71.0, T-P 30.9% 수준으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 왕겨를 이용한 경우에도 톱밥과 비슷한 경향을 나타내었다. 3. 5회까지 순환시켜 침출된 액비의 비료 성분은 질소의 경우, 원슬러리에 비해 2/3 수준, 인산은 1/3 수준으로 줄어드는 경향을 나타냈으나, 칼리는 거의 변하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 침출액비의 악취 (암모니아, 황화수소)는 초기에 비해 상당한 수준으로 저감되었으며, 톱밥이 왕겨에 비해 비교적 효과가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 5. 여재순환장치 가동 전후의 돈슬러리내 미생물을 조사한 결과, 총세균과 부숙에 관여하는 것으로 추정되는 바실러스균은 증가하는 경향이었으며, 살모네라균은 급격하게 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 6. 이상과 같은 결과로 볼 때, 악취저감 균질액비 생산장치를 이용하여 액비를 생산할 경우, 오염물질, 악취물질, 병원성세균 등이 감소하고, 부숙관여 유용미생물이 증가한 악취저감 균질액비 생산이 가능한 것으로 판단된다.
