In this study, a system to measure continuously the fuel concentration in a steady flow rig on the basis of Rayleigh scattering is presented. The system can be employed to measure both the temporal and the spatial distribution. Also, it is possible to calibrate the system for the measurement of accurate absolute concentration. Firstly, the system was tested at a calibration chamber for the determination of scattering cross section from propane, butane, acetylene, Freon-12 and Genetron 143a. After this, the system was adapted to a steady flow rig to measure the temporal and spatial fuel concentration. The rig is composed of cylinder head, intake manifold, injector, and transparent cylinder which can simulate internal combustion engine. To cope with the problem of Mie scattering interference, a software filter was developed, which is based on the rise time and the time constant of the photomultiplier-amplifier system. The results show that LRS can provide useful informations about concentration field and the software filter is very effective method to remove Mie interference.

An experimental study was performed for the combustion-field visualization of the burner which burns the liquid hydrocarbon fuel atomized by an ultrasonic oscillator. Configurations of the flame and temperature gradient were caught by both high-speed camera and thermo-graphic camera, and those images were analyzed in detail through a post-processing. In addition, the fuel consumption was measured using the balance during the combustion reaction. As a result, the consumption of atomized fuel increased with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas, but any correlation between the air/fuel ratio and carrier-gas flow-rate was not found at the low flow-rate condition. Also, the combustion-field grew and reaction-temperature rose due to the strengthening of combustion reaction with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas and power consumption of ultrasonic oscillator.

In a gas turbine, fuel is exposed to a high temperature environment until it is fed to the combustor through the injector. Hydrocarbon fuels can coke under high temperature conditions, which can cause coking material to deposit on fuel lines or block the injector passages. In this study, a specimen simulating a fuel line located inside a gas turbine and Jet A-1 were heated using electric devices. Jet A-1 coking tests were performed by changing the wall temperature of the stainless steel specimen and the temperature of Jet A-1 supplied to the specimen. After the coked specimens were cut, the coking material and the inner surface were analyzed using an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer and a field emission scanning electron microscope.

플런저(Plunger)의 부품 용도는 점화 플러그와 조립 되는 부품으로 연료 분사장치에 적용하여 연료 효율이 약 15~20% 개선됨이 일본에서 검증되어 일본은 상용화 되었다. 국내에서는 개발단계로 처음에 냉간단조로 개발하였다가 원가 및 생산성 문제로 프로그레시브금형(Progressive Die)로 개발 하려는 단계이다. 디젤기관에 사용되며 기관의 출력을 조절하기 위해 플런저를 이용하여 연료의 토출량을 조절할 때 사용이 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 디젤 차량에 장착되는 플런저를 냉간단조방식이 아닌 원가 및 생산성을 확보할 수 있는 프로그레시브 금형에 적용하여 양산할 수 있는 스트립 레이아웃을 개발하고자 하였다.

In this research, we use IDI type constant volume combustion chamber which may make up stratified combustion to construct the design back data of lean-burn engine. Some experiments are conducted by the passagehole angle in the adapter of main chamber and sub-chamber. The effects on the combustion characteristics according to the ignition timing are investigated. The used fuel is methanol prospective for alternative fuel. Fuel is injected under 10.78MPa using solenoid and accumulator. As the results of the experiment, combustion characteristics reveals that ignition timing, passagehole angle and shape greatly effects on. Lean inflammability limit is extended to 0.45 in equivalence ratio.

This study tries to analyze the injection amount of injector according to the external environment temperature of CNG vehicle. Especially, We investigated the effect of low temperature environment on gas injector performance by measuring the variation of injection amount under the same conditions as in coldstart condition. This experimental compared two products with different spring characteristics. The experimental device consist of a fuel supply unit, a flowrate measurement unit, a temperature chamber, and an injector control unit (ECU). According to the test result, the initial injection amount of the injector is increased in the low temperature environment and the needle opening time is delayed according to the change of the spring length.

The injection and spray characteristics of top-feed type injector was investigated under liquid phase injection fueled with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Different pressures and temperatures of fuel injection system were tested to identify the injection characteristics after hot soaking. MIE-scattering technique was used for verification of successful liquid phase injection after hot soaking. In case of bottom-feed type injector, the injection was accomplished at every experimental condition. In case of top-feed type injector, when the pressure of LPG was over 1.2 MPa, the injection was not executed. However, under the pressure were 1.2 MPa, the liquid phase injection after hot soaking was accomplished. The engine with top-feed type fuel injection equipment was restarted successfully after hot soaking.

최근 석탄 가스화 기술은 화석연료인 석탄을 기존의 공해물질 발생을 90%이상 줄이면서 고효율로 활용할 수 있는 방법으로 각광받고 있다. 본 연구는 습식 석탄 가스화기에서 가스화의 핵심적인 요소인 버너의 분무 관계 분야에 대한 분무 특성 및 무화성능을 높일 수 있는 분무기의 구조 및 운전 조건 등을 제시 할 목적으로 분무 시 내부를 관찰 할 수 있는 아크릴을 이용하여 내부 혼합식 버너를 제작하였다. 미립화 특성을 파악하기 위하여 $O_2$/Fuel Ratio 및 버너의 내부 혼합 방식, 분사각도, 각 분사 높이에 따른 미립화 특성을 관찰하였으며, 입도 분석은 심파텍사의 입도 분석기를 이용하여 측정하였다. 내부 혼합식 버너의 입도는 분사 각도와 $O_2$/Fuel Ratio에 따라서 변화하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 공급되어지는 Fuel은 석탄 슬러리와 물을 이용하여 각각의 입도를 측정하였다. slurry의 공급량이 고정된 상태에서 산소 공급량이 증가함에 따라 미립화도는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 슬러리 공급량과 산소 공급량이 동일한 경우 버너의 분사 각도에 따라 미립화도가 다르게 나타나는 특성을 관찰하였다.

The fuel pressure regulator mounted on CNG vehicles is used to maintain a constant pressure in the fuel injection system. It needs precise fuel pressure control to obtain benefits of high efficiency and low emissions in CNG vehicles. In this study, a high pressure test rig for the performance evaluation of CNG regulators was introduced. Two different CNG regulators were tested and compared each other at various test conditions. Results showed that dynamic response and creep characteristics are directly effected by the valve assembly design. Gas temperature was dramatically dropped at hish supply pressure conditions, so that effective design for coolant bowl is needed to prevent icing problem.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate spray characteristics of GDI injector that is economic and environment-friendly. Injector characteristics such as penetration length, spray angle and mixture formation were measured using experimental visualization technique. Especially, it has been analyzed that the influences of ambient pressure and injection pressure on penetration length and spray angle. To visualize the spray, a constant volume combustion chamber and fuel supply system have been manufactured. A high-speed camera and LED light source have been applied to obtain spray images. The experimental and visualization result shows that the penetration length is increased as decreasing ambient pressure and/or increasing injection pressure. Also, ambient pressure and injection pressure have minor effect on the spray angle variation.
