An exhausted heat recovery system for a small gas engine cogeneration plant was investigated. The system was designed and built in a 300 kW class cogeneration demonstrative system. The basic performance was tested depending on load variation, and installed to a field site as a bottoming heat and power supply system. The exhaust gas heat exchangers (EGHXs) in shell-and-tube type and shell-and-plate type were tested. The entire efficiency of the cogeneration system was estimated between 85 to 90% under the 100% load condition, of which trend appears higher in summer due to the less thermal loss than in winter. Power generation efficiency and thermal efficiency was measured in a range of 31~33% and 54~57%, respectively.

In an automotive spark ignition, it is important to form the proper mixture(air/fuel) on each driving condition for developing the stabilizing combustion and exhaust characteristics. Since most of supply fuel is attached on the inside wall of the intake manifold for unadequate atomization by fuel injection system, it brings a bad effect on combustion and exhaust caused by nonuniformity of fuel distribution to each cylinder and mixture variation. Also it affects engine performance variation and causes noises and vibration. In this study, we verified the effect of the mixture variation which is caused by fuel liquid film in an intake manifold on combustion characteristics and engine performance.

Recently submarine and unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) are equipped with a fuel cell system as an air independent propulsion system. Methanol fuel processor can efficiently supply the hydrogen to the fuel cell system to improve the ability to dive. This study investigated the optimal conditions of the methanol fuel processor that may be used in the closed environment. For this purpose, the numerical model based on Gibbs minimization equation was established for steam reformer and three exhaust gas burners. After simulating the characteristics of steam reformer according to the steam-to-carbon ratio (SCR) and the pressure change, the SCR condition was able to narrow down to 1.1 to 1.5. Considering water consumption and the amount of heat recovered from three burners, the optimum condition of the SCR can be determined to be 1.5. Nevertheless, the additional heat supply is required to satisfy the heat balance of the methanol fuel processor in the SCR=1.5. In other to obtain additional amount of heat, the combustion of methanol is better than the increased of SCR in terms of system design.

Although the demands for diesel engine is increased, our world is faced with very serious problems related to the air pollution due to the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. In this study, the potential possibility of oxygenated fuel such as Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) was investigated for the sake of exhausted smoke reduction from diesel engine. MTBE has been used as a fuel additive blended into unleaded gasoline to improve octane number, but the study of application for diesel engine was incomplete. Because MTBE includes oxygen content approximately 18%, it is a kind of oxygenated fuel that the smoke emission of MTBE is reduced remarkably compared with commercial diesel fuel, that is, it can supply oxygen component sufficiently at high load and speed in diesel engine. But, the NOx emission of MTBE blended fuel is increased compared with commercial diesel fuel. And. it was tried to analyze not only total hydrocarbon but individual hydrocarbon components from $C_1$to $C_{6}$ in exhaust gas using gas chromatography to seek the reason for remarkable reduction of smoke emission. The results of this study show three conclusions. 1. The smoke omission of the MTBE blended fuel is lower than that of the diesel fuel at all experimental region in direct injection diesel engine. 2. Individual hydrocarbons(C$_1$~ $C_{6}$) as well as total hydrocarbon of oxygenated fuel are reduced remarkably compared with diesel fuel. 3. Smoke emission from diesel engines was strongly depended on oxygen content in fuel regardless of operating condition.

In the present study, the dispersion characteristics of hydrogen leakage from a Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) were analyzed by numerical simulation in order to assess the risk of a hydrogen leakage incident in a long road tunnel. In order to implement the worst case of hydrogen leakage, the FCV was located at the center of a tunnel, and hydrogen was completely discharged within 63 seconds. The Leakage velocity of hydrogen was adopted sub-sonic speed because that the assumption of the blockage effect of secondary device inside a vehicle. The temporal and spatial evaluation of the hydrogen concentration as well as the flammable region in a road tunnel was reported according to change of ventilation operating conditions. The hydrogen was blended by supply air form a ventilation fan, however, the hydrogen was discharged to outside in the exhaust air. It is observed that the efficiency way to eliminate of hydrogen is supply air operating condition under the hazardous hydrogen leaking incident. The present numerical analysis can be provided useful information of ventilation under the hydrogen leaking situation.

Recently, concentration of fine and ultra-fine particulate matter(PM) has been increased in KOREA. The increase of PM in KOREA is due to increase of domestic industries and yellow dust from china. PM is known to cause diseases such as dyspnoea, asthma, arrhythmia. Since PM is harmful to human, KOREA Ministry of Environment(ME) warns people to stay indoors when the outdoor PM concentration is high. However, prior studies has shown that indoor PM concentration can be relatively high when outdoor PM concentration is high due to infiltration of PM into buildings though leakage areas. In this study, airtightness, indoor and outdoor pressure difference and PM 2.5 & 10 concentration were measured in an apartment complex to observe PM infiltrating into building. Field measurement was conducted in newly-built apartment buildings to avoid the influence of indoor PM which can be generated by residents. The airtightness test was conducted to identify the leakage areas of the apartment, such as electric outlets and supply/exhaust diffusers. The airtightness test result showed that the air leakage area of the building was dominant in buildings envelop. According to indoor and outdoor pressure difference measurement result and PM concentration measurement result, it can be concluded that outdoor PM can infiltrate into indoor by leakage areas when wind is blown toward the apartment. As a result, pressure difference formed by the external weather condition and architectural characteristics such as the airtightness in building can influence PM to infiltrate into buildings. In further studies, I/O ratio, stack-effect, infiltration and penetration factor will be considered.

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.
