Stirling engine is an external combustion engine, whose efficiency approaches that of Carnot engine with the help of a regenerator. The regenerator is a heat exchanger composed of porous medium, whose performance is dependent on the pore structure. Three types of pore structures are considered in the present study. They are wire screen, random wire and composite structure, i.e. a combination of wire screens with different hydraulic diameters. The porosity more highly affects the performance of a regenerator compared to the hydraulic diameter. The random wire can yield high effectiveness even at a high porosity. The composite mesh gives better performance when the hydraulic diameter decreases in the direction from hot side to cold side.

오늘날 산업용 차량은 대부분 유압식 클러치를 채택하여 사용하고 있다 유압식 클러치는 운전자가 손쉽게 엔진으로부터 동력을 바퀴까지 전달 또는 차단하는 기능을 갖고 있기 때문이다. 차량속도에 대한 운전자의 다양한 요구는 다수의 변속 단수를 갖는 기어트레인이나 연속가변식 변속기(CVT) 원하고 있다. 그 중에 기어단을 단속하는 클러치는 엔진의 회전력과 차량 관성력을 효과적으로 연결 또는 차단을 위해 다수의 마찰판과 유체압력을 이용하여 작동된다. 유압식 클러치는 동작방식에 따라서 유체압력이 작동하면 동력을 전달하는 POSITIVE방식과 자체 탄성 스프링력에 의해서 동력을 전달하는 NEGATIVE방식이 있다. POSITIVE방식 유압식 클러치는 동력전달시 어큐뮬레이터를 이용하여 충격을 줄이고, 부하 변동시 승차감각을 향상할 수 있는 장점이 있다 TRX500 트랙터에 사용되는 유압식 클러치는 POSITIVE방식을 채택하고 있다. (중략)

To optimize the cold start process of a 4-stroke, 8 cylinder Diesel engine, a dynamic simulation model from cranking to idle speed is developed. Physically-based first order starter motor dynamics are used to model the performance of starting process which is very complex. These equations are solved using numerical schemes(Petzold-Gear BDF method) to describe the starting process of diesel engine and to study the effects of starting parameters. The validity of this model is examined by start test. This model can be served as a tool for computer aided control systems design to improve cold improve cold start performance.

본 논문에서는 무인화 ATV 엔진 액츄에이터의 시스템 특수성을 고려한 PID 제어기의 설계를 통하여 종방향 구동을 담당하는 DC 모터의 위치제어 성능을 향상시켰다. DC 모터의 문턱 전압과 마찰력으로 인한 데드존(Dead zone)을 고려하였으며, DC 모터에 연결된 액츄에이터 와이어에 의한 복원력에 대한 영향을 최소화 시켰다. 또한 DC모터의 위치를 판별하는 엔코더의 분해능을 감안하여 제어기 설계에 반영하였고, 실험을 통하여 성능을 검증하였다.

The discharge characteristics of the oxidizer injector of liquid rocket engine were investigated. The discharge performance was obtained numerically which agreed quantitatively with the measured data. The discharge coefficient is proportional to the cavitation number for cavitating flow and constant for non-cavitating flow. The Reynolds number, however, affects little the discharge coefficient. The discharge coefficient decreased slightly as the Reynolds number increased because the friction loss decreased relatively at high Reynolds number flow.

To improve the vehicle fuel economy, various technologies such as improvement of power train efficiency, use of light weight material, improvement of aerodynamic design, have been studied. One of the possible way to improve the vehicle fuel economy is to reduce the engine friction loss by improving the engine oil characteristics. In the present paper, it was examined the effect of the engine oil viscosity and the addition of friction modifier to engine oil on vehicle fuel economy improvements. Moreover, the effect of engine oil degradation on vehicle fuel economy was examined with two gasoline vehicles and one diesel vehicle by using the fuel economy test facility.

A liquid rocket system consists of a combustion chamber, a gas generator, a turbo pump, and a turbine, etc. Each component is connected by supply components such as valves, pipes, and orifices. Since each component has a combined effect on engine performance, preliminary analysis for overall system must be required before the conceptual design stage. Comprehensive analysis program considered the supply system has not been developed yet. In this paper, a supply component model of the liquid rocket engine has been designed after verification of each component. The gas generator cycle with supply components has been composed. The results of the cycle has been compared to those of the F-1 engine with the representative gas generator cycle.

Recently, the demand for improving energy efficiency has rapidly increased because of the growing concerns over environmental issues. In this work, the tribo-test and simulation for the initial wear and lubrication performance were performed for the piston pin in the small end system of the connecting rod of a marine engine, to obtain useful data for improving the efficiency of marine engine systems. In addition, a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating was applied to the piston pin to explore feasibility of eliminating the bush used in the system. The initial wear and lubrication characteristics between the uncoated piston pin and bush were compared with that between the DLC-coated piston pin and connecting rod in the tribo-test. The simulation for the wear and lubrication performance according to the wear progression was conducted based on the data obtained from the test. The wear characteristics were quantitatively assessed by the wear depth and wear volume, and the lubrication performance was characterized with the change of pressure and minimum oil film thickness with respect to the crank angle. It was found that the DLC-coated piston pin may provide better initial wear characteristics and lubrication performance. The results of this work may provide fundamental information for marine engines with improved efficiency.

동수압적 미끄럼베어링의 작동원리는, 두개의 서로 경사진 면이 윤활제를 그 사이에 두고 상대적인 운동을 함에 있어서 두면사이에는 윤활유 막이 형성되어 압력이 형성되고 두면에 작용하는 하중의 지지하게 되므로 직접적 마찰없이 상대적 미끄럼운동을 한다는 것이다. 동수압적 유체윤활은 윤활틈새 내의 윤활유동에 동수압적 점성유체역학 이론을 적용하며 베어링윤활유막의 압력분포를 계산하기 위한 편미분 방정식의 발견이 그 근본을 이루고 있고, 미끄럼베어링에 대한 기본적연구는 1900년 이래로 계속 수행되고 있다. 크랭크샤프트와 피스톤 연결봉 사이의 베어링은 동하중을 크게 받으며 회전하므로 저어널과 축의 상대운동은 회전운동과 윤활면의 수직운동으로 나누어 해석할 수 있다.

Friction characteristic of an engine crankshaft bearing is affected by revolution speed, applied loads, and viscosity of lubrication. So, experimental investigation is required to observe the friction characteristics using these factors. Hydraulic cylinder, servo controller system which can be modified the applied load, and test rig for the observation of the characteristics of engine crankshaft bearings were designed and fabricated, and some experiments were performed. Friction torque, journal locus and circumferential temperature variation of crankshaft bearing were measured according to applied load, revolution speed, and oil inlet temperature.
