A swirler with turbulence generator is designed and manufactured for generating many small-scale eddies in the combustor which contribute to enhancing mixing effect between fuel and air. The method results in not only the disadvantage of pressure loss but also the advantage of promoting combustion and reducing NOx. For the purpose of the study, four kinds of swirler with different turbulence generator area (0%, 3%, 7%, and 12% of reducing flow area) are designed to confirm the effect of mixing according the variation in the area of the turbulence generator. The mixing of combustor in the radial direction is significantly improved and the distributions of flames and temperature are well distributed throughout the cross section of a combustor as area of swirl generator is increased.

2유체 동축인젝터(coaxial twin fluid injector)는 액체산소와 액체수소를 추진제로 사용하는 SSME(Space Shuttle Main Engine)이나 유럽의 Arian 5 Vulcain 엔진과 같은 저온추진제 엔진에 널리 사용되고 있다. 추진제를 미립화 시키는 장치로서 사용하는 다른 여러 형태의 인젝터에 비교할 때 저속의 액체산화제 주위에 고속의 가스연료가 분사됨으로서 발생되는 전단력에 의해 추진제가 미립화되는 특징을 가지며, 이러한 메카니즘은 매우 복잡하여 아직까지 정확히 규명되지 못하고 있는 실정이다.

디젤 자동차는 가솔린 자동차에 비하여 연료소비효율이 높고, 경제성이 좋으며 고출력을 낼 수 있어 이에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있지만, 디젤엔진에서 배출되는 매연과 가스로 인한 오염도 심각한 수준에 달하였다. 엔진의 전자화, 고압분사기술등 여러 자동차 관련기술의 발달로 배출오염물질의 저감에 큰 발전을 이루어 왔으나, 계속적으로 강화되어지는 배출규제에 맞추기 위해서는 입자상 물질 후처리 장치의 개발이 가장 현실적인 대안으로 제기되고 있다. (중략)

The purpose of this study is experimentally to analyze that the fuel mass fractions of multi-component mixed fuels have an effect on the characteristics of spray ignition and combustion under the ambient conditions of diesel combustion fields. The characteristics of ignition and combustion were investigated by chemiluminescence images and direct photography. The experiments were conducted in the RCEM(rapid compression expansion machine) with optical access. Multi-component fuels mixed with i-octane, n-dodecane and n-hexadecane are injected in RCEM by the electronic control of common rail injector. Experimental conditions set up 42, 72 and 112 MPa in injection pressure, 700, 800 and 900 K in ambient gas temperature. The results show that the ignition delay was dependent on high cetane number. In case of low ambient temperature, the more low boiling point fuels were mixed, the lower luminance regime had a remarkable effect and also shortened diffusion combustion by increasing heat release rate.

Fuel or oil which is leaked into the aircraft engine bay can make a fire when it is contacted to the engine surface of hot temperature. In order to avoid fire, the fire extinguish system should be designed so that the extinguishing agent is quickly injected and its concentration keeps higher in the fire protection region. FAA requires that the extinguishing agent injected within the fire protection region should be sustained longer than 0.5 second on keeping a higher concentration than 6%. For developing a fire protection system satisfying the FAA regulation, numerical and experimental studies for the injection time and the concentration of the extinguishing agent were conducted. These results showed similar trend for the injection time or concentration, but the data acquisition was delayed due to the response of the sensors in the experiment.

The study was performed to understand combustion characteristics of the slinger combustor. Liquid fuel is discharged radially outwards through injection holes drilled in the high speed rotating shaft. We observed atomizing characteristics with variation of fuel nozzle rotating speed by using PDPA system. The mean drop diameter highly depends on fuel nozzle rotating speed. In KARI combustion test facility, Ignition and combustion tests were performed by using real scale combustor. In the test results, ignition and combustion efficiency were increased according to increasing fuel nozzle rotating speed. The measured radial temperature distribution at the combustor exit shows stable and fairly good distribution.

The research and development for LPLI system to replace the conventional LPG fuel supply system has been processed with a view to enhancing the environmental status and the efficiency for LPG cars. Part of the small sized cars are under commercialization with the LPLI application already. And yet, most of the technologies are relied upon the advanced countries and as part of the application for large scaled engines, many researches are on the increase. This study shows the technology development to make use of LPLI system for those large engines and reviews the controllers, which were manipulated through experiments for their work, reliability and possibility for commercialization.

A Common-Rail Direct Injection(CRDI) system for high speed diesel engines was developed to meet reductions of noise and vibration, and emission regulations. In this study, CRDI system analysis model which includes fuel and mechanical sub-systems was developed using commercial software, AMESim in order to predict characteristics for various fuel injection components. Each component which constructs system was modeled and verified by sub-model of AMESim obtained characteristics curves of each components. The parameter sensitivity analysis such as throttle size, injection rate, plunger displacement, supply pressure of fuel injection for system design were carried out by the analysis.

For the practical use of a fuel injection system using solenoid, some mechanical and electrical problems should be explicitly analyzed. In our study, we have investigated these problems experimentally and have improved such that a solenoid driving circuit is liable to establish a fast reponse and a precise control of injection quantity. This proposed fuel injecton system is capable to control equivalence ratio from low level to high level. Therefore, we expect that this proposed system should be applicable to an actual engine.

Constant volume combustion chamber has been designed to investigate diesel spray characteristics with Common-Rail injection system to realize high pressure injection. In this study, two methods of measurements, Schlieren shadowgraphy and Mie scattering imaging method ate applied experimentally to study spray form and liquid phase zone in high pressure, high temperature conditions. Diesel fuel is injected at the point which ignited mixture gas is completely burned. The effect of injection pressure, injector hole diameter, ambient gas temperature and density are investigated experimentally.
