An optical method to measure the size and number density of soot aggregates in diesel exhaust has been proposed in this study. Two laser beams in co-axial alignment transmit a soot loaded exhaust gas flow, and the transmittance at each wavelength is detected by a photo diode simultaneously. The volume equivalent diameter and number density of soot aggregates in the optical path can be theoretically given by the transmittance values measured at two wavelengths. A test conducted by a single cylinder, 4 cycle, small and DI diesel engine shows that the temporal variations of the size and number density of soot aggregates in the diesel exhaust can be measured by the proposed method at a transient mode operation. It is found that the volume equivalent diameter varied temporally from 70 to 110 nm during the period that high soot concentration is observed. One can also conclude that the optical length longer than 1 m in the dynamic range regarding this method is preferable for measuring soot concentration at the level of $1\;mg/m^3$.

As a result of vehicle maintenance of rocker arm shaft for 4-cylinder SOHC engine, failure stress analysis of rocker arm shaft is needed. Because more than 30% of vehicles investigated have been fractured. Failure stress analysis is classified into an naked eyes, microscope, striation and X-ray fractography etc. Failure stress analysis by using striation is already established technology as means for seeking cause of fracture. But, although it is well known that striation spacing corresponds to the crack growth rate da/dN, it is not possible to determine ${\sigma}_{max}\;and\;{\sigma}_{min}$ under service loading only from striation spacing. This is because the value of striation spacing is influenced not only by ${\Delta}K$ but also by the stress ratio R. In the present paper, we determine the stress ratio using orthogonal array and ANOVA, and propose a prediction method of failure stress which is combined with FEM and striation.

With the results of calculation for natural frequencies the reponses of forced coupled vibration of propulsion shafting system were investigated by the modal analysis method. For the forced vibration response analysis, the axial exciting forces, the axial damper/detuner, propeller exciting forces and damping coefficients were extensively considered. As the conclusion of this study, some items are cleared as follows.-The torsional vibration amplitudes are not influenced by the radial excitation forces of the crank shaft. -The axial vibration amplitudes are influenced by the tangential exciting forces as well as the radial exciting forces of the crank shaft. The increase of the amplitudes is observed in the speed range at the neighbourhood of any torsional critical speed. 1The closer the torsional and axial critical speed. the larger coupling effect becomes. -The axial exciting force of propeller is relatively strong comparing with axial exciting forces of cylinder gas pressure and oscillating inertia of reciprocating mechanism. Therefore, the following conclusions are obtained. -Torsional vibration calculation with the classical one dimensional model is still valid. -The influence of torsional excitation at each crank upon the axial vibration is improtant. especially in the neighbourhood of a torsional critical speed. That means that the calculation of axial vibration with the classical one dimensional model is inaccurate in most of cases.

To grasp a feasibility of back fire control by valve overlap period, back fire limit equivalence ratio was estimated with valve overlap period which has the same supply energy and positive intake pressure as valve overlap period $300^{\circ}\;CA$. As the result, it was shown that the smaller valve overlap period has the higher back fire limit equivalence ratio under valve overlap period $300^{\circ}\;CA$ as well as VOP $0^{\circ}\;CA$. This result means that expansion of back fire equivalence ratio by decreasing valve overlap period was caused by decrease of back flow duration of flame from in-cylinder to intake port than decrease of lower supply energy.

This research was performed to determine the oil separation characteristics of the specially designed oil filter installed in a PCV cylinder head passage. The oil filter was specially designed with fleece for separating oil mist from blow-by gas. The fleece, made of fiber fabric material, is placed in the oil filter case to absorb oil mist with a small pressure drop during blow-by gas through the filter. To do this, 3-D CFD analysis was simulated for the simplified PCV system with the oil filter using the commercial code, Ansys CFX. Results showed that the oil filter's efficiency with fleece sharply increased as oil droplet size increased.

The fuel economy is a key issue for the automotive industry due to environmental concerns. In particular, only 5-20% of the energy generated in a car using an internal combustion engine is used as power, and the remaining energy is dissipated due to friction with other parts. The main components in the reciprocating piston type compressors commonly used in general vehicles include shafts, swash plates, pistons, and cylinders, and severe friction loss occurs due to the contact of these components. Generally, the wear contact is the maximum between the shaft and cylinder and between the piston and swash plate. The friction of these parts may cause quality problems and deteriorate the durability. In this study, to reduce the frictional loss, a prototype with additional coating agents was produced. Moreover, an optimized design was generated, and performance, noise, and durability tests were conducted. A more durable product was successfully obtained.

반응성 조정 압축착화 (Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition, RCCI) 연소는 착화원인 디젤 연료를 압축 행정 중 이른 시점에 미리 분사하여, 공기와 미리 섞여 들어온 천연가스 연료뿐만 아니라 디젤 연료 자체도 미리 연소 전에 공기와 혼합하여 착화를 이루는 전체 예혼합 혼소(Dual-fuel combustion) 방식의 일종이다. 따라서 기존의 혼소 방식 중에서도 RCCI 연소는 질소산화물(Nitrogen Oxides, NOx) 및 매연(Smoke)을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있고, 또한 높은 열효율을 유지할 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. 특히 연소 중 NOx의 발생은 연소 온도와 국부적인 당량비에 관계된 상황에서 당량비를 낮추기 위해 예혼합율을 높이는 시도뿐만 아니라, 연소 온도 감소를 위한 배기재순환(Exhuast Gas Recirculation, EGR)을 적용하는 것이 효과적이다. 그러나 배기재순환은 대개의 경우 터보차저의 압축기 전단에서 추출하는 HP-EGR(High Pressure-EGR) 방식을 적용하는 경우가 많으므로, EGR율을 높일 경우 터빈으로 공급되는 배기의 양이 줄어 배기 엔탈피 감소로 인해 과급이 줄어드는 악영향을 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 두 운전조건에서 천연가스-디젤 RCCI 연소를 시행할 때, EGR율 변화에 따른 엔진 시스템의 제동 출력 및 열효율의 변화에 대하여 실험적으로 분석하였다. 실험 조건은 1,200 rpm/29 kW 수준의 조건과 1,800 rpm/90 kW 이하 조건에서 수행하였으며 NOx와 smoke의 배출조건은 Tier-4 final 배기규제를 기준으로 삼았으며 엔진의 내구성을 고려하여 최고 연소압력은 160 bar를 넘지 않게 제어하였다. 그 결과 1,200 rpm/29 kW 조건에서는 EGR율을 4에서 30 %로 높이더라도 출력 및 열효율의 변화는 미미하였으나, 1,800 rpm 조건에서는 EGR율을 4에서 28 %로 증가할 경우 최대 과급 압력이 2.3에서 1.8 bar로, 최고 출력은 90에서 65 kW로, 열효율은 37에서 33 %로 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 효과적인 EGR공급을 위해서는 현재 압축기 전단에서 추출하는 EGR을 후단에서 추출하는 LP-EGR (Low Pressure EGR) 시스템이 효과적일 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구에서는 옥탄가에 따른 연소특성 및 차량 성능에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 옥탄가 차이가 있는 두 연료를 선정하여 연소특성 및 배출가스, 연비, 가속성 실험을 수행하였다. 우선, 연소특성 실험을 위해 단기통 엔진을 사용하였으며, 시중에 유통되는 연료 중 옥탄가가 다른 두 연료를 선정하여 수행하였다. 단기통 실험은 각 연료에 맞는 점화시기 및 공연비제어를 통해 점화시기를 점차 진각 시켰을 때 나타나는 연소 특성을 살펴보았으며, 그에 따른 출력 및 배출가스, 연소압력 등을 통해 옥탄가에 의한 연소 상관성을 살펴보았다. 또한, 실제 차량을 통해 옥탄가 차이에 대한 연비 변화를 비교해 보았으며, 가속성 시험을 통해 고성능 요구 구간에 대한 옥탄가의 영향성을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 점화시기를 진각시킴에 따라 높은 옥탄가의 연료가 다소 안정된 연소특성을 보여주었으며, 가속성, 출력시험에서는 약간의 증가를 보였다. 그러나 두 연료 모두 도심 및 고속도로를 모사한 현행 연비모드에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않음에 따라 현재 판매되고 있는 차량의 운행 조건에서는 고옥탄가 연료가 연비에 미치는 영향은 미미한 것으로 나타났다.

DeNOx experiments for the effects of hydrocarbon additives on diesel SNCR process were conducted under oxidizing diesel exhaust conditions. A diesel-fueled combustion system was set up to simulate the actual cylinder and head, exhaust pipe and combustion products, where the reducing agent $NH_3$ and $C_2H_6/diesel$ fuel additives were separately or simultaneously injected into the exhaust pipe, used as the SNCR flow reactor. A wide range of air/fuel ratios (A/F=20~40) were maintained, based on engine speeds where an initial NOx level was 530 ppm and the molar ratios (${\beta}=NH_3/NOx$) ranged between 1.0~2.0, together with adjusting the amounts of hydrocarbon additives. Temperature windows were normally formed in the range of 1200~1350K, which were shifted downwards by 50~100K with injecting $C_2H_6/diesel$ fuel additives. About 50~68% NOx reduction was possible with the above molar ratios (${\beta}$) at the optimum flow #1 ($T_{in}=1260K$). Injecting a small amount of $C_2H_6$ or diesel fuel (${\gamma}=hydrocarbon/NOx$) gave the promising results, particularly in the lower exhaust temperatures, by contributing to the sufficient production of active radicals ($OH/O/HO_2/H$) for NOx reduction. Unfortunately, the addition of hydrocarbons increased the concentrations of byproducts such as CO, UHC, $N_2O$ and $NO_2$, and their emission levels are discussed. Among them, Injecting diesel fuel together with the primary reductant seems to be more encouraging for practical reason and could be suggested as an alternative SNCR DeNOx strategy under diesel exhaust systems, following further optimization of chemicals used for lower emission levels of byproducts.
