In this study, the characteristics of exhaust emissions in medium speed diesel engine under various operating conditions were investigated through experiments to derive the optimum conditions for minimizing the exhaust emissions, especially, nitrogen oxides. The 355 KW$\times$1200 rpm medium speed diesel engine was intensively examined to investigate the trend of exhaust emissions in case that the parameters affecting combustion conditions such as fuel injection timing, intake air temperature and pressure, engine speed and load were changed. The exhaust emissions for 9 sets of medium speed diesel engine were analyzed in addition. From this study, NOx level could be reduced by 30~50% through the adjustment of retarded fuel injection timing, lowered intake air temperature and increased charging air pressure.

This paper experimentally investigates the effects of oxygen-enriched air (OEA) on the running behaviors of an LPG SI engine during both start/warm-up (SW) and hot idling (HI) stages. The experiments were performed on an air-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, LPG SI engine with an electronic fuel injection system and an electrically-heated oxygen sensor. OEA containing 23% and 25% oxygen (by volume) was supplied for the experiments. The throttle position was fixed at that of idle condition. A fueling strategy was used as following: the fuel injection pulse width (FIPW) in the first cycle of injection was set 5.05 ms, and 2.6 ms in the subsequent cycles till the achieving of closed-loop control. In closed-loop mode, the FIPW was adjusted by the ECU in terms of the oxygen sensor feedback. Instantaneous engine speed, cylinder pressure, engine-out time-resolved HC, CO and NOx emissions and excess air coefficient (EAC) were measured and compared to the intake air baseline (ambient air, 21% oxygen). The results show that during SW stage, with the increase in the oxygen concentration in the intake air, the EAC of the mixture is much closer to the stoichiometric one and more oxygen is made available for oxidation, which results in evidently-improved combustion. The ignition in the first firing cycle starts earlier and peak pressure and maximum heat release rate both notably increase. The maximum engine speed is elevated and HC and CO emissions are reduced considerably. The percent reductions in HC emissions are about 48% and 68% in CO emissions about 52% and 78%; with 23% and 25% OEA, respectively, compared to ambient air. During HI stage, with OEA, the fuel amount per cycle increases due to closed-loop control, the engine speed rises, and speed stability is improved. The HC emissions notably decrease: about 60% and 80% with 23% and 25% OEA, respectively, compared to ambient air. The CO emissions remain at the same low level as with ambient air. During both SW and HI stages, intake air oxygen enrichment causes the delay of spark timing and the increased NOx emissions.

This paper studies the effects of intake port configuration on the swirl that is key parameter in the flow field of direct injection diesel engines. In-cylinder flow characteristics is known to have significant effects on fuel air mixing, combustion and emissions. To investigate the swirl flow generated by various intake ports, steady state flow tests were conducted to evaluate the swirl. Helical port geometry, SCV shape and bypass were selected as the design parameters to increase the swirl flow and parametric study was performed to choose the optimal port shape that would generate a high swirl ratio efficiently. The results revealed that a key factor in generating a high swirl ratio was to suitably control the direction of the intake air flow passing through the valve seat. For these purposes, we changed the distance of helical and tangential port as well as installed bypass near the valve seat and the effects of intake port geometry on in-cylinder flow field were visualized by a laser sheet visualization method. From the experimental results, we found that the swirl ratio and mass flow rate had a trade off relation. In addition, the result indicates that the bypass is a effective method to increase the swirl ratio without sacrificing mass flow rate.

The re quest to develop the engines that are able to run without air or with very little oxygen condition is raised with the interest of ocean science or the mines. This research had already be gun before the world war II, but had been stagnant owing to the appearance of nuclear power. Recycle diesel engines have ability to run under the above mentioned condition the recycle diesel engine recirculates exhaust gases into intake port and consumes additional oxygen supplied by oxygen tank. Carbon dioxide is controlled by the absorber. The combustion and emission characteristics of recycle diesel engines are quite different with conventional one because the working fluids of recycle diesel engines consist of Ar, $CO_2$ and $O_2$ as well as $N_2$. Recycle diesel engine is therefore different with general diesel engine from the viewpoint of intake air composition. It is required to investigate the effect of intake composition in the combustion and emission to know recycle diesel engine. In this study, NOx concentration, smoke and cylinder pressure are measured with the variation of Ar and $CO_2$ Reduces show that the addition of Ar reduces NOx but increases smoke. Otherwise $CO_2$ reduces smoke and NOX simultaneously. Only $CO_2$ increases the ignition delay and both gases increase fuel consumption Ar addition is superior to $CO_2$ addition for the performance of recycle diesel engine system but $CO_2$ has the avantage with respect to emission.

We actually installed antibacterial air filter on the air intake route to air conditioner in passenger car and evaluated filters performance on antibacterial effect. And also, antibacterial effect was observed at whole are of filter media by zone of inhibition test. In the evaluation of antibacterial test, it was shown that the air filter has notably sufficient antibacterial efficiency against ordinary filter.

In order to survery the risk of air-borne lead to human, the relation between air-borne lead level and blood lead level was examined by using of the kinetic model and statistical model. The results of this survey were as follows: 1. The pathways of lead intake were food and water, mainly. 2. Though blood lead level of Korean urbanire was higher than that of American or Japanese, it was not so severe as to influence human health. 3. The lead content in food and water was high, and so it is needed to confirm the cause of high content was whether second contamination by air pollution or not.

가솔린엔진의 출력제어를 위해 나비형(butterfly-type) 스로틀밸브가 응용되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 나비형 스로틀밸브는 밸브 후방에서 발생하는 강한 와류현상으로 인해 매우 큰 흡입 유로의 저항을 유발하게 된다. 이러한 유로저항은 엔진의 체적효율(volumetric efficiency)을 떨어뜨려 궁극적으로 엔진의 출력과 효율에 부정적인 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 CFD수치해석 기법을 이용하여 기존 나비형 스로틀밸브의 문제점 개선을 위해 제안한 벤투리형(venturi-type) 가변스로틀밸브(VGTV)의 공기역학적 작동특성에 관해 알아보았으며, 본 장치의 유량과 저항계수($K_L$)의 변화특성 분석을 통해 가솔린엔진의 체적효율 개선효과를 평가하는데 연구의 목적을 두고 있다. 본 연구를 통해 기존의 나비형 스로틀밸브에 비해 새롭게 제안된 벤투리형 가변스로틀밸브의 유로저항이 평균 49.0%정도 개선된다는 사실을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 엔진의 체적효율과 출력에 매우 큰 영향을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

The pressure fluctuation in the intake and exhaust pipe of 4 stroke-cycle diesel engine is caused by reciprocating motion of piston for suction of fresh air and exhaust of burned gas. this gas dynamic effect can be utilized for increase the volumetric efficiency. Many empirical studies have been carried out to investigate the effects of intake pulsating flow on the volumetric efficiency. However, when the gas dynamic effects are utilized for the variable speed engine to increase its performance, The speed range in which the maximum volumetric efficiency is limited and there occurs some difficulties in lay-out of intake system because it become too long. During induction process, as waves travel both directions, they are reflected and interacted each other and pressure waves are transmitted through it. Hence, the flow becomes more complex and unsteady flow. These pressure waves act upon intake pulsating flow and affects on the volumetric efficiency. In this paper the effects of pulsating flow of intake and exhaust pipes on volumetric efficiency were examined and evaluated. It was found that volumetric efficiency was affected by pulsating flow of intake and exhaust pipes.
