This paper presents development activities of the T700/701K turbo-shaft engine for Korean Utility Helicopter(KUH). The T700/701K is the first rear-drive variant of the GE's T700 engine which is proven for military applications in the world. The main workscope of the development includes a modification from a front-drive engine to a rear-drive one, an performance enhancement of the power turbine and an incorporation of two channel FADEC(Full Authority Digital Engine Control) system for more reliable operation. The first engine run for development and qualification test was successfully completed in 2008. Since the PFRT(Preliminary Flight Rating Test) has been completed, the first flight of the engine installed in the first prototype of KUH has been successfully demonstrated in March, 2010 and the engine installation compatibility tests are being carried out during KUH flight test. The test and evaluation for qualification of the engine has been done except for the LCF test up to date.

2차 대전 이후 미국과 소련의 우주 경쟁으로 인해 로켓엔진에 대한 많은 발전이 이루어졌고 그 결과 새로운 엔진 사이클과 많은 종류의 추진제가 개발되었다. 냉전 후 많은 ICBM이 민간용으로 개조되었지만 대부분의 민간용 발사체는 연료로 케로신과 액체수소를 사용하고 있다. 아폴로 계획까지 우주개발 초창기에는 미, 소 양국 모두 케로신 엔진을 주축으로 사용하였으나 우주왕복선의 시대가 도래한 이후 미국에서는 수소엔진을 주력으로 사용하였다. 그러나 현재 우주왕복선이 퇴역한 이후 러시아의 도움을 받아 개발 혹은 수입된 케로신 엔진이 델타와 아틀라스에 사용되고 있다. 또한 최초의 민간발사체인 팰콘에도 멀린이라는 케로신 엔진이 적용되었다. 수소엔진 이후에 새로이 개발되고 있는 메탄엔진은 아직 실용화에는 이르지 못하였기 때문에 적어도 당분간은 케로신 엔진이 로켓엔진 분야를 선도할 것으로 보인다.

It was measured engine power, specific fuel consumption and exhaust emissions to analyze fuel economy between LNG dual fuel vehicle and base diesel one. The tested LNG dual fuel engine is converted from diesel engine having 12 liter heavy duty class. The power of LNG dual fuel engine is 5% lower than diesel one and the engine efficiency is also lower than diesel case. However the exhaust emission of diesel engine such as PM, NOx, CO and $CO_2$ showed higher than that of LNG duel fuel case except NMHC component. And economical analysis were carried out two cases for an aspect of fuel economy and environmental benefit. As a result, LNG dual fuel vehicle gives some economic benefit to whom both business party and public side respectively though considering the subsidy and price discount for diesel.

대체연료로서 바이오 연료의 디젤엔진에의 적합성을 파악하기 위하여 경유, 가온 미강유, 초음파 적용 가온 미강유, 미강유 메틸 에스테르, 폐식용유, 초음파 적용 폐식용유, 폐식용유 메틸 에스테를 14kW 예연소실식 디젤 엔진의 연료로 사용하여 그 성능과 배기배출물을 측정하였다. 시험에 사용한 바이오 연료들에 의해 엔진 분사 펌프의 조정이나 다른 부품의 개조를 하지 않고도 단기간 전부하 상태로 1,600~2,800 rpm 의 범위에서 엔진은 정상적으로작동하였다. 바이오 연료를 사용하였을 경우 전반적으로 엔진성능과 배기 배출물 특성에 있어서 경유를 사용하였을 경우와 비견할만 하였으며 특히 매우 낮은 농도의 $SO_2$와 매연을 배출하였다.

The engine core of a 65hp-turboshaft engine for UAV is developed and modified into a 55lbf-turbojet engine. Since the core engine is installed with a propelling nozzle, which has the same mass flow characteristics as the power generator of the turboshaft engine its mechanical and aerodynamic characteristics are basically the same as those of the complete engine. Engine output is not shaft power but thrust force that is easier to measure. The core engine is very useful for core test purpose. Besides, the core engine itself can be directly used for propulsion of small air vehicles.

This paper describes new communication methods for transmitting torque commands between the vehicle controller that determines the amount of power generation in a range-extended electric vehicle and the engine controller that performs it. Generally, vehicles use CAN communication, but in this case, the hardware and software of the existing engine controller must be modified. For this reason, it is not easy to apply CAN communication to small and medium sized automotive reorganize companies. Therefore, this research presents a pin-pin communication method for applying the existing mass produced engine controller to range-extended electric vehicles. The pin-pin communication method converts the driver's demand torque control map inside an mass produced engine controller into a virtual accelerator opening position according to the target speed and target torque of the engine, and converts this to a voltage signal for the existing mass produced engine controller to recognize it. The virtual accelerator opening positions are mounted in the form of a control map in the vehicle controller through the reverse conversion process in an offline environment and are determined by the engine generating power requirements and engine optimal operating point algorithm. These algorithms and signal conversion circuits for engine torque transmission have been mounted on the vehicle controller to conduct the virtual accelerator opening position conversion process according to the engine target torque and to establish the virtual accelerator voltage signal using the signal converter.

This study is an 1-D numerical study prior to modification of diesel engine for power plants to natural gas/diesel dual fuel engine using GT-Power with 1.5MW diesel engine for power generation. Natural gas injector was installed to intake manifold for dual fuel engine model. Effects on engine performance and characteristics were investigated when dual fuel is used in unmodified diesel engine. The analysis was done under 5 conditions from 0% to 40% of mixing rate on 720RPM engine speed. As a result of research, the engine performance was decreased as increasing ratio of natural gas. Engine brake power was decreased by 18.4% under 40% mixing rate condition. To clarify the reason, effects of injection timing and period were evaluated with DOE method. Considering this result, optimization was done for these parameters. Also, comparison between performances of dual fueled engine and diesel engine was made after optimizing the timing of injection by DOE method. As a result, engine brake power was decreased by 8.55% under mixing rate 40% condition showing 12.5% improvement.

Development of an engine with good fuel economy is very important for successful implementation of long endurance miniature UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). In the study, a 4-stroke glow-plug engine was modified to a gasoline-fueled spark-ignition engine. Engine tests measuring performance and friction losses were conducted to tune a simulation program for performance prediction. It has been found that excessive friction losses are caused by insufficient lubrication at high speeds. The simulation program predicts that engine power and fuel economy get worse with high altitude due to increasing portion of friction losses. The simulation results suggest quantitative guidelines for further development of a practical engine.
