Controlled Auto Ignition(CAI) combustion has great potential in achieving significant increase in engine efficiency, while simultaneously reducing exhaust emissions. The process itself involves the auto ignition and subsequent simultaneous combustion of a premixed charge. In this study, NVO(Negative Valve Overlap) system was applied to a CAI engine in order to use residual gas. The fuel was injected directly to the cylinder under the high temperature condition resulting from heating the intake port to initiate CAI combustion. This paper introduced the valve timing strategy and experimental set-up. From this study, the effect of engine speed and valve timing on CAI combustion and exhaust emissions was clarified. In addition, stratified charge method was used to extend CAI operating region.

Controlled auto ignition (CAI) combustion, also known as HCCI (homogeneous charge compression ignition), offers the potential to simultaneously improve fuel economy and reduce emission. CAI-combustion was achieved in a single cylinder gasoline DI engine, with a cylinder running in a CAI mode. Standard components were used the camshafts which had been modified in order to restrict the gas exchange process. The effects of air-fuel ratio, residual EGR rate and injection timing such as early injection and late injection on the attainable CAI combustion region were investigated. The effect that injection timings on factor such as start of combustion, combustion duration and heat release rate was also investigated. From results early injection caused the mixture to ignite earlier and burn more quickly due to the exothermic reaction during the recompression and gave rise to good mixing of the fuel-air.

This study focused on the effects of the $CO_2$ gas concentration in fresh charge and induction air temperature on the combustion characteristics of homogeneous charge compression ignition with dimethyl ether (DME) fuel, which was injected at the intake port. Because of adding $CO_2$ in fresh charge, start of auto-ignition was retarded and bum duration became longer. Indicated combustion efficiency and exhaust gas emission were found to be worse due to the incomplete combustion. Partial burn was observed at the high concentration of $CO_2$ in fresh charge with low temperature of induction air. However, indicated thermal efficiency was improved due to increased expansion work by late ignition and prolonged bum duration. Start of auto-ignition timing was advanced with negligible change of burn duration, as induction air temperature increased. Burn duration was mainly affected by oxygen mole concentration in induction mixture. Bum duration was increased, as oxygen mole concentration was decreased.

The aim of this paper is to investigate combustion characteristics of lean premixed mixture stabilized by catalytic surface reaction. The catalytic combustor consisted of a catalyst bed and a thermal combustor. The catalyst bed was made of two stage, Pd catalyst in the first stage and Pt catalyst in the second stage. Auto ignition of lean mixture took place in the thermal combustor. Ignition temperature was about $810{\sim}820^{\circ}C$ at the fuel-air ratio of 1.5~3.0 % and the mixture velocity of 11~18m/sec. The position of flame front in the thermal combustor moved toward back as preheat temperature increased and fuel-air ratio decreased. The f1ame supported by surface reaction was stabilized without any flame stabilizers. NOx emissions from the catalytic combustor were below 2.0 ppm ($O_2$ 15 %) when gas temperature was limited below $1350^{\circ}C$. This result demonstrates that NOx emission from the catalytic combustor is much low comparing with conventional combustors.

The present work is an experimental investigation on potential operating range using directly injected gasoline fuel in a single-cylinder compression ignition (CI) engine. The objectives of present study were to apply auto-ignited combustion to gasoline fuel and to evaluate potential operating range. In order to auto-ignite gasoline fuel in CI engine, the fuel direct-injection system and the intake air system were modified that a flow rate and temperature of intake air were regulated. The heat-release rate (HRR), net indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), start of combustion (SOC), and combustion duration were derived from in-cylinder pressure data in a test engine, which has 373.33cc displacement volume and 17.8 compression ratio. The exhaust emission characteristics were obtained emission gas analyzer and smoke meter on the exhaust line system.

Spart-ignition engine knock is an abnormal combustion phenomenon originated from auto- ignition of a portion of or the entire end-gas during the later stage of combustion process. And engine knock is accompanied by a vibration of engine cylinder block and a high-pitched metallic noise. Engine knock is characterized in terms of its intensity, its occurrence crank angel and the percentage of engine knock cycles. To characterize engine knock, a precise measurements of cylinder pressure and a statistical analysis of cylinder pressure data are needed. The purpose of this study is to develope a technique to measure engine knock and its characteristics as a function of ignition timing change. A 4-cylinder spark-ignition engine and unleaded gasoline, whose octane number was 94, were used for experiments. To measure engine knock and to analyze engine knock characteristics, cylinder pressure data were sampled by a high speed data acquisition system which was developed in this study. Cylinder pressure data were sampled at each 0.1.deg. crank angle and the number of cycles continuously sampled was 80.

본 연구에서는 RBCC (Rocket Based Combined Cycle)엔진이나 기존 램제트 추진기관의 초기 추력 제공에 과산화수소 가스발생기를 이용하는 새로운 추진시스템을 제안하였고, 기초 연구 수행으로서 촉매 분해된 과산화수소 제트에 케로신을 분사하여 자연발화 및 연소 특성을 연구하였다. 과산화수소는 촉매 베드를 통하여 분해된 후 축소노즐을 통해 연소실로 분사됐으며 이 제트에 인젝터를 통하여 수직으로 케로신을 액상으로 분무하였다. 연소실내에서의 온도와 압력을 측정하여 점화를 확인하고 자연발화 특성을 조사하였다. 400°C의 연소실 온도와 연료와 산화제 혼합비 0.6이상에서 자연발화와 안정적인 연소가 가능하였다. 이 결과를 통하여 램제트의 새로운 초기 가속장치의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Controlled auto-ignition(CAI) combustion, offers the potential to improve fuel economy and reduce emission simultaneously. In this study, CAI-combustion was achieved in a single cylinder gasoline DI engine with modified camshafts in order to restrict the gas exchange process. We investigated the effects of air-fuel ratio, residual EGR rate and injection timing such as early injection and late injection on the attainable CAI combustion region. The effect of injection timings on combustion characteristic such as start of combustion, combustion duration and heat release rate was also investigated. From the result early injection causes the mixture to ignite earlier and burn more quickly due to the exothermic reaction during the recompression and gives rise to good mixing of the fuel/air. On the other hand, late injection extended the operation region more than early injection but the emissions of HC and NOx were more or less increased than early injection.

The present study has numerically investigates the vaporization, auto-ignition and combustion processes in the high-pressure and high-temperature conditions encountered in the diesel engine. In the present study, in order to understand the overall spray combustion characteristics of DME fuel as well as to identify the distinctive differences of DME combustion processes compared to conventional hydrocarbon liquid fuels, the sequence of the comparative analysis has been systematically made for DME and n-Heptane liquid fuels. Computations for DME fuel are made for two cases including constant fuel mass flow rate condition and fixed heat release rate. Based on numerical results, the discussions are made for the detailed combustion processes of DME and n-Heptane spray.

데칸에 물을 혼합하여 일정한 크기와 간격으로 유화액적배열을 형성하여 물과의 혼합비율, 액적의 수 그리고 액적 간격 등이 연소특성에 어떠한 영향을 주는가를 고온의 연소실에서 파악하였다. 각각 10%, 20%, 30%의 물을 혼합하여 유화액적을 만든 후 일정한 크기의 액적을 각각의 서스펜더에 매달아서 일정한 간격의 액적배열을 만들어 고온에서 자발화를 시켰을 때, 점화지연, 수명시간, 전연소기간 그리고 미소폭발 등의 연소특성을 비교하였다. 대기압에서 연소실의 온도를 920 K로 하고 서스펜더의 수를 3개와 5개로 하였으며 액적배열의 간격은 $3{\sim}7\;mm$ 범위에서 1 mm 간격으로 각각 실험을 수행하였다. 본 실험을 통하여 물의 혼합비율이 높을수록, 그리고 액적배열의 간격이 넓을수록 점화지연현상이 길게 나타났으며, 수명시간은 액적의 간격이 넓을수록 짧게 나타났으며 점화지연시간과 수명시간의 합인 전연소기간은 액적의 수량이 3개인 경우가 점화지연시간이 긴 관계로 5개에 비해 길게 나타남을 확인하였다.
