The effects of premixed fuels(diesel or n-heptane) and exhaust gas recirculation on combustion and exhaust emission characteristics in a DI diesel engine were experimentally investigated. To improve homogeneity of fuel-air mixture in the conventional diesel engine, the premixed fuel is injected by high pressure(5.5 MPa) into the premixing chamber prior to engine cylinder, And several additional systems such as an EGR system, air heating system and back pressure control system were equipped in the DI diesel engine. The results showed that premixed fuel-air mixture undergoes typical HCCI combustion prior to the combustion of DI diesel fuel. The ignition timing of HCCI combustion is delayed by application of EGR, and it also shows that HCCI combustion can be controlled by an EGR.

희박예혼합기의 급속연소에 관한 연구를 위하여 2-실린더 가솔린 엔진을 부실 타입의 압축천연가스(CNG) 분사 엔진으로 개조하였다. 본 연구에서는 부실의 최적설계에 관심을 두고 두 종류의 부실을 적용하여 실험을 실시하였고, 부실의 체적과 홀 개수는 1.5cc와 6개로 각각 동일하게 하고, 홀 직경을 0.8mm 및 1.1mm로 달리하였다. CNG연료는 포트연료분사(Port fuel injection; PFI)와 부실분사(Sub-chamber injection; SCI)에 의해 엔진에 독립적으로 공급되고, 그 실험결과로 구한 연소압력, 평균유효압력(IMEP), 질량연소분율과 사이클변동계수(COV) 등을 서로 비교하였다. 본 연구의 대표적 실험연구결과로서 PFI 타입의 엔진연소특성은 희박예혼합기의 경우를 제외하고 모든 조건에 있어서 기존의 가솔린 엔진과 비슷하였고, SCI 타입의 엔진연소특성으로 평균유효압력은 부실 내에 불완전 예혼합기형성으로 PFI 타입보다 낮았으며, COV는 SCI 타입이 희박가연한계가 확대됨으로 인하여, 특히 높은 공기과잉률 범위에서 PFI 타입과 비교해 보다 좋은 결과를 나타내었다.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of multiphasic CT and ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT for the differentiation of combined hepatocellular carcinoma-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials and Methods From January 2007 to April 2016, 93 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC (n = 84) or cHCC-CCA (n = 9) underwent CT and PET/CT imaging. Contrast enhancement patterns were divided into three types based on the attenuation of the surrounding liver parenchyma: type I (early arterial enhancement with delayed washout), type II (early arterial enhancement without delayed washout), and type III (early hypovascular, infiltrative appearance, or peripheral rim enhancement). Results cHCC-CCAs (89%) had a higher PET/CT positive rate than did HCCs (61%), but the PET/CT positive rate did not differ significantly (p = 0.095). Among the 19 cases of the type II enhancement pattern, 3 (21%) of 14 HCCs and 4 (80%) of 5 cHCC-CCAs were PET/CT positive. cHCC-CCAs had a significantly higher PET/CT positive rate (p = 0.020) in the type II enhancement pattern. Conclusion The PET/CT positive rate of cHCC-CCA was significantly higher than that of HCC in lesions with a type II enhancement pattern. The ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT can be useful for the differentiation of cHCC-CCA from HCC in lesions with a type II enhancement pattern on multiphasic CT.

In this paper we present the optimal replacement policies following the expiration of combination warranty. We consider two types of combination warranty policies: renewing warranty and non-renewing warranty. The criterion used to determine the optimal replacement period is the expected cost rate per unit time from the user'perspective. The optimal maintenance period following the expiration of combination warranty is obtained. Some numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose.

Nitrous oxide is a global warming substance and is known as the main cause of the destruction of the ozone layer because its global warming effect is 310 times stronger than carbon dioxide, and it takes 120 years to decompose. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the characteristics of NOx emission from N2O reduction by thermal decomposition of N2O. Bunsen premixed flames were adopted as a heat source to form a high-temperature flow field, and the experimental variables were nozzle exit velocity, co-axial velocity, and N2O dilution rate. NO production rates increased with increasing N2O dilution rates, regardless of nozzle exit velocities and co-axial flow rates. For N2O, large quantities were emitted from a stable premixed flame with suppressed combustion instability (Kelvin Helmholtz instability) because the thermal decomposition time is not sufficient with the relatively short residence time of N2O near the flame surface. Thus, to improve the reduction efficiency of N2O, it is considered effective to increase the residence time of N2O by selecting the nozzle exit velocities, where K-H instability is generated and formed a flow structure of toroidal vortex near the flame surface.

Measurements of heat release are very important for controling combustion instabilities, which are closely connected with combustion instabilities. $OH^{\ast}$ images were acquired through a ICCD in this study, which were in use as indicating index of the reacting region, global and local heat release rate in the lean premixed combustion. The objectives of this study are to see the effect of equivalence ratio on global heat release rate and local Rayleigh index distribution. The local Rayleigh index distribution was acquired by information from central section of flame. This information was from the line-of-sight images which were inverted by the Abel de-convolution. In each condition, the mean value of heat release increased exponentially with equivalence for a periodic time. Local Rayleigh index distribution cleary showed the region of amplifying or damping the combustion instability as the equivalence ratio increased. This could provide an insight on the region of combustion instability and the structure of flames on the equivalence ratio.

The HCCI engine is a next generation engine, with high efficiency and low emissions. The engine may be an alternative to SI and DI engines; however, HCCI's operating range is limited by an excessive rate of pressure rise during combustion and the resulting engine knock in high-load. The purpose of this study was to gain a understanding of the effect of only initial temperature and thermal stratification for reducing the pressure-rise rate in HCCI combustion. And we confirmed characteristics of combustion, knocking and emissions. The engine was fueled with Di-Methyl Ether. The computations were conducted using both a single-zone model and a multi-zone model by CHEMKIN and modified SENKIN.

Stratified charge has been thought as one of the ways to avoid a sharp pressure rise on HCCI combustion. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of stratified charge for reducing PRR on HCCI combustion. The pre-mixture with thermal, mixing and EGR stratifications is charged in Rapid Compression Machine. After that, the pre-mixture is compressed and in that process, in-cylinder gas pressure and temperature are analyzed. Additionally numerical calculation with multi-zones modeling is run to know the potential of stratified charge for reducing PRR.
