1400cc급 발전용 엔진 트로틀 바디의 최적화 및 성능 향상을 위하여 유동해석을 수행하였다. 베르누이 정리를 기본으로, 성능을 발휘하는 주요 설계인자인 트로틀 바디 내부의 트로틀 밸브 각도 및 흡기부 곡률 등을 설계 변수로 유동해석을 수행하였다. 벤튜리관 흡입부의 곡률을 증가시켜 트로틀 바디에서 소모되는 흡기저항을 줄였다. 감소된 흡기저항은 펌핑로스를 저감하여 연비향상에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. 결과적으로 해석결과 분석을 통하여 최적화된 모델을 제시하였다.

This paper shows a design and implementation of throttle valve controller for engine dynamometer system using fuzzy logic. Recently, we demanded the excellent measuring equipment so as to improve engine performance. The throttle valve control for engine dynamometer system is a very particular part in the engine control. Since the structure of engine dynamometer system is very complicated and has nonlinear elements which are influenced by disturbance of vibration, heating, cooling, and energy loss so on. In this paper, fuzzy logic control application have been successful in throttle valve control problem for engine dynamometer system in which the conventional control had difficulties dealing with the system. In this study, we propose a method that the control strategy uses Fuzzy Look-up table and normalization and obtained the satisfying result from realized throttle valve controller for engine dynamometer system.

A vortex tube is a device that can separate small particles from a compressed gas or separate a compressed gas into hot and cold flows. We experimentally analyzed the energy-separation characteristics of a vortex tube with a diameter of 10 mm. We measured the energy-separation characteristics of the vortex tube for different inlet air pressures, orifice diameters, and tube lengths. The orifice diameter and inlet pressure are important for the vortex tube design and operation. The tube length has a small effect on the energy-separation performance. Maximum energy separation occurs for a vortex tube with Dc = 0.7 D and L = 16 D.

Vortex tube is the device that can separate small particles from the compressed gas, as well as compressed gas into hot and cold gas. Due to energy and particle separation ability, a vortex tube can be used as the main component of the $CO_2$ absorption device. In this study, experimental approach has been performed to analyze the energy separation characteristics of the vortex tube. To obtain the preliminary design data, energy separation characteristics of the vortex tube has been tested for orifice diameter, nozzle area ratio, and tube length. As a result, the orifice diameter is the major factor of the vortex tube design. The nozzle area ratio and tube length have a minor effect on the energy separation performance. For Dc=0.6D, AR=0.14~0.16, and L=16D, maximum energy separation has been occurred. The result from this study can be used as the basic design data of the $100Nm^3$/hr class vortex tube applied to the $CO_2$ absorption device. Compared with the $CO_2$ absorption process containing an absorption tower, the process with a vortex tube is expected to have a huge advantage of saving the installation space and the operating cost.
