To obtain the engine output correctly is basically very important factor for estimating a engine performance. But, it has been reported that the IHP measured from electronic indicator such as MIPS(Mean Indication Pressure System) has a deviation compared to mechanical indicator. It was reported by authors that the uncertainty of crank angle for TDC position could be one of the reasons. In this paper, the uncertainty of crank angle for TDC position and its influence to engine output were investigated respectively about M/E and G/E for marine diesel engines. For the purpose, two sampling methods of pressure in cylinder were considered which were 'angle base sampling' and 'time base sampling'. Angle base sampling is real crank angle acquired from angle encoder which is attached to crank shaft and time base sampling is crank angle calculated by detected revolution with Z-pluse of encoder. Time base sampling is same method of MIPS. This paper concluded that time base sampling method is not suitable for obtaining the output of marine diesel engine on board because of instantaneous speed variation and load fluctuation. Also it is verified that the variation of engine speed by load fluctuation should be one of reasons additionally in case of M/E.

In a reciprocating compressor, the piston and connecting rod are important parts. Excess mechanical stress on these parts may cause damage, and broken parts are expensive and difficult to replace. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the mechanical stress affecting durability and longevity. The main purpose of this study was to identify locations of maximum stress on pistons and connecting rods. Based on dynamic calculation of the working process of a specific air compressor, an analysis of piston and connecting rod performance has been completed. A three-dimensional model for the air compressor's pistons and connecting rods was built separately, and FEM analysis of these components was carried out using a numerical method. The pistons were loaded by pressure which was changed according to crankshaft angle without thermal boundary conditions. The simulation results were used to predict and estimate stress concentration as well as the value of this stress on pistons and connecting rods. The maximum equivalent stress calculated are over 190 MPa on pistons and 123 MPa on connecting rods at crank angle $135^{\circ}$ and $225^{\circ}$ but these are under tensile yield strength. Besides, the calculated safety factors of connecting rods and pistons is higher than 1. Moreover, the results obtained can be used to provide manufacturers with references to optimize the design of pistons and connecting rods for reciprocating compressors.

An electronic control system of the automobile engine for optimal start and idle speed control has been developed. This system employs the microcoputer-based electronic control unit and crank angle sensor for precise control on fuel injection, ignition timing, and idle speed more quickly and accurately at the start and idling. Consequently, the number of misfire can be reduced during been affected by air flow rate, idle quality(roughness), spark timing, fuel injection, water temperature, and load, Thus, this electronic control system strivers to reach the optimal idle operating point, defined the lowest idle speed(fuel economy) and idle quality(roughness), under any engine operating conditions.

내연기관에 있어서 connecting rod는 piston에 작용하는 가스압력과 관성력을 소단부로 부터 shaft를 거쳐 대단부를 통하여 Crankshaft에 전달하는 역할을 한다. 그러므로 기관의 운제중 끊 임없이 인장, 압축, 좌굴, 굽힘등의 하중을 반복하여 받기 때문에 이것에 견딜 충분한 강성을 지해야 한다. 그러나 일반적으로 connecting rod에 작용하는 하중과, 각부분에 나타나는 응력의 해석은 간단하지 않다. 왜냐하면 행정을 수행하는 동안 크랭크의 각 위치에 대하여 가스 압력 이나 관성력이 변하고, 또한 connecting rod 자체의 형상도 복잡하게 구성되기 때문이다. 따라서 보다 계산을 간단하게 하기 위하여 여기에서는 일단 connecting rod에 작용하는 하중은 최악조 건으로서 최대발압력 및 최대관성력을 적용하기로 하고, 계산결과에 따라 취약부위에 대한 은 력을 검토하기로 한다. 특히 대단부에 있어서는 cap을 연결하는 보울트가 불리면에 작용하는 하중을 충분히 견딜 수 있어야 하므로 보울트계산 또한 중요하나 여기서는 취급치 않고, 다만 이 계산에서 구한 하중을 사용하여 VDI 2230에 의한 방법으로 계산하면 될 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to analyse and compare the fuel combustion characteristics between LPG and gasoline on SI engine. Pressures of combustion chamber were measured on the state that engine speed was 2000rpm and BMEP was 2.0bar And we measured pressures of combustion chamber regarding variation of the MBT We could know that the combustion pressure of LPG fuel use engine is appeared lower than that of gasoline fuel use engine. At the lean mixture ratio area we could blow that Ignition timings are pulled very forward, and ignition timing of LPG fuel is advanced to $5\sim12^{\circ}$ CA than gasoline fuel. We learned that the value of coefficient of variation of LPG fuel is higher than gasoline fuel.

동하중을 받는 엔진 베어링을 연구하기 위하여 1.5리터, 직렬 4 기통 가솔린 엔진 5개 메인 베어링 모두의 최소 유막 두께를 측정하고, 이론 계산을 수행하였다. 이론 계산은 무한 소폭으로 본 엔진 베어링에 대해 모빌리티 방법을 이용하였으며 유막두께 측정 방법으로는 TOTAL CAPACITANCE METHOD(TCM)을 사용하였다. TCM을 이용한 실험에서 실험의 정도를 높이기 위하여 새로운 베어링 틈새 설정 방법을 제시하였으며, 베어링 캐비테이션(Cavitation) 및 윤활유의 공기 혼입(Aeration)에 의한 시험오차를 해석하였다. 시험과 이론 계산의 결과를 비교한 결과, 정성적인 경향이 비교적 잘 일치하고 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 그러나 정정보로 가정된 이론 계산은 크랭크샤프트 진동 및 각 베어링이 받는 하중의 불균형으로 인한 영향을 예측하지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 엔진 운전중 베어링의 최대 전단율(Maximum Shear Rate)은 $10^7 S^{-1}$ 수준임을 확인하였다.

In this study, a computer program has been developed which predicts the variation of the volumetric efficiency with the change of design of the intake system effectively by the analysis of the flow in each part of a multi-cylinder compression ignition engine. For the calculation of the flow in the intake and exhaust systems, the method of characteristics has been used, and the double Wiebe's function has been adopted for the calculation of the heat release rate in the cylinders. The accuracy of presented method has been proved through the comparison between the simulation and experimental results over the various engine speeds and intake pipe lengths.

For digital engine control timings, such as ignition, are based on the crank shaft angle. Therefore, it is very important that the angle of the crank shaft can be detected with accuracy for optimal ignition timing. Sequential multi-point injection(MPI) systems that have independent injection events for each cylinder, are used to inject an accurate quantity of fuel, and to cope with varying engine status promptly. In this study the distributorless ignition timing. A crankshaft position sensor has been installed such that it generates a number of pulses per crankshaft revolution to permit accurate detection of the crank shaft angle. An event detecting algorithm has been developed, which detects the crank shaft pulses generated by the position sensor, and the software outputs the required control signals at given crank angle values. We clarified that the hardware method is the best way to increase the performance of the control system, because the event detecting duration T(1+2)max becomes zero.

The heavy-duty LPG-fueled single cylinder engine was designed and developed as a fundamental equipment for analyzing combustion processes and emission performances. The cylinder head and the piston crown were modified to fire the LPG in the engine. The flywheel was also fabricated to minimize the vibration of the single cylinder engine. The size of bore and stroke of the tested engine are 130 mm and 140 mm, respectively. Compression ratios were varied 8 to 9 with different piston crown shapes. The developed single cylinder engine operates at 1,000 rpm for this work. The major conclusions of this work are; (1) the power of the developed engine was peaked at the condition of equivalence ratio 1.0 at three different compression ratios; (2) the power is slightly increased with the increase of compression ratio; (3) the optimum ignition timing is retarded with the increase of compression ratio ranged 2 to 10 crank angle.

To predict the qualitative performance characteristics of Stirling Engines, an analytical approach to the Ideal Adiabatic Model set up by Urieli et al. has been treated. First, volume variations of both the expansion and the compression cylinders are approximated to piecewise linear function of the crank angle, which make it possible to specify the mass flow direction of each cylinder a priori to solve a set of basic equation. In consequences, an engine cycle can be considered as a combination of 4-type fundamental process. For each process, pressure is obtained as a solution of the algebraic equation. Application of the cyclic steady condition to the whole cycle completes the analysis. Further investigations result in analytical expressions for cyclic heat and work in terms of dependent variables determined from the pressure. The results are expected useful in establishing the preliminary design conditions of Stirling Engines.
