The effects of the intake and exhaust valve timing to improve the engine performance in a spark ignition 3-cylinder LPG engine with a closed loop fuel supply system were studied. The engine torque and power have been measured using the 75kW EC-dynamometer while adjusting the optimal fuel consumption ratio with a solen- oid driver. As the results from this experiment, when intake valve opening is $12^{\circ}$ BTDC, intake valve closing is $36^{\circ}$ ABDC, exhaust valve opening is $12^{\circ}$ ATDC, and exhaust valve closing is $36^{\circ}$ BBDC respectively, the best torque characteristics in low and high speeds for a gives engine were obtained. And also we could find that the torque characteristics in low speeds were affected by the timing of exhaust valve open. An increased valve overlap by the EVC delay was ineffectual to the torque characte- ristics improvement in high speeds.

The aim of this work is to investigate the combustion and exhaust emission characteristics of low-temperature combustion (LTC) at various EGR test conditions using a single cylinder common-rail diesel engine. In high EGR rate combustion mode with DME fuel, 30% (${\Phi}=0.61$) and 50% (${\Phi}=0.86$) of EGR were respectively examined, and then the combustion, exhaust emissions, nano-particle characteristics of each cases were measured. From these results, it revealed that The ignition delay and combustion duration are prolonged as the increase of EGR rate. In addition, at an advanced injection timing (BTDC $30^{\circ}$), ignition delays were fairly increased because the dilution effect of EGR and also low charge in-cylinder temperature created a lean mixture, thus decreased the peak release rate.

The purpose of this study is to analyze that intake port swirl and fuel injection system have an effect on the engine performance in a turbocharged D.I. diesel engine of the displacement 9.4L. As result of steady flow test, when the valve eccentricity ratio moved to cylinder wall, the flow coefficient and swirl intensity is increased. And as the swirl is increased, the mean flow coefficient is decreased, whereas the Gulf factor is increased. Through this engine test, it can be expected to meet performance and emissions by the following applied parameters; the swirl ratio is 2.43, injection timing is BTDC 13oCA and compression is 15.5.

The effects of recirculated exhaust gas on the characteristic of soot emissions have been investigated by using an eight-cylinder, four-stroke, direct injection and water-cooled diesel engine operating at several loads and speeds. The experiments in this study are carried out at the fixed fuel injection timing of $38^{\circ}$ BTDC regardless of experimental conditions. The intake oxygen concentration and the mean equivalence ratio calculated by the intake air flow and fuel consumption rate are used to analyze and discuss the influences of EGR rate on soot emissions. Results of this study indicate that soot emissions increase owing to the drop of intake oxygen concentration and the rise of equivalence ratio as the EGR rate increases at a given engine load and speed, especially the high load.

전 세계적으로 천연가스 시장에서는 천연가스의 저열량화 추세로 뚜렷하게 변화되고 있다. 이러한 추세는 국내의 천연가스 열량기준에 변화를 가져왔으며, 낮은 열량의 천연가스 도입으로 인해 현재 사용되고 있는 가스기기의 성능에도 변화가 있을 것으로 예측된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 혼소엔진의 연소특성을 파악하기 위해 CNG 혼소율 변화를 이용하여 열효율, 도시평균유효압력 변동계수 및 열방출 특성을 고찰하였다. CNG 혼소율은 투입되는 연료의 총합 대비 공급되는 천연가스연료의 에너지로 계산하여 천연가스연료가 디젤연료를 대체하는 비율로 정의하였다. 엔진 실험조건으로는 공급되는 천연가스의 발열량은 $10,400kcal/Nm^3$이며, $1800rpm/500N{\cdot}m$의 엔진 운전조건에서 디젤연료의 분사시기는 BTDC $16^{\circ}CA$, 분사압력은 85 MPa로 설정하여 엔진의 성능 및 연소 실험을 진행하였다. 엔진 실험결과로 CNG 혼소율이 변화함에 따라 공급되는 디젤 연료량 역시 변화하고, CNG 혼소율이 증가할수록 디젤 연료량이 감소함으로써 점화에너지가 줄어들어 점화지연기간이 길어지는 연소특성을 나타내며, 이로 인해 엔진의 열효율과 출력도 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 연소안정성은 5% 미만으로 안정적인 엔진의 연소상태를 보여 실험의 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있었다.

전 세계적인 천연가스 저열량화 추세에 따라 우리나라 천연가스 열량 기준이 기존의 표준 열량제에서 보다 유연한 열량범위제로 개선되었다. 이 같은 변화는 가정이나 산업체 전반에 걸쳐 가스기기 성능에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 이를 규명하고자 하는 연구가 필요하다. 특히 열병합 발전용 엔진으로 사용되는 디젤-CNG 혼소엔진의 경우 도시가스를 주 연료로 사용하기 때문에 발열량 변화는 발전 사업자의 수익성 확보와 연관되는 중요한 사안이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 열량범위제 내에서 허용하는 CNG 발열량 변화가 디젤-CNG 혼소엔진의 배기특성에 주는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 도시가스 발열량 변화를 모사하기 위해 열량 범위 상한선인 $10,400kcal/Nm^3$의 CNG 연료에 질소를 희석시켜 발열량을 $10,400kcal/Nm^3$에서 $9,400kcal/Nm^3$까지 변경하였다. 혼소율 80% 조건에서 디젤 연료 분사 시기는 16 CAD BTDC, 분사압력은 110 MPa로 고정하고 엔진회전수 및 토크는 1800 rpm/500 Nm으로 설정하여 시험을 수행하였다. 엔진시험 결과 발열량이 감소할수록 불완전연소가 증가하여 THC, $CH_4$ 및 CO 배출량은 증가하는 반면 NOx 배출량은 감소함을 확인하였다. 그리고 이 같은 결과를 바탕으로 배기 특성 변화에 대해 대응할 수 있는 방안에 대해 고찰하였다.

Calculation of indicated mean effective pressure(IMEP) requires high cylinder pressure sampling rate and heavy computational load. Because of that, it is difficult to implement in a conventional electronic control unit. In this paper, a cylinder pressure based real-time IMEP estimation method is proposed for controller implementation. Crank angle at 10-bar difference pressure($CA_{DP10}$) and cylinder pressure difference between $60^{\circ}$ ATDC and $60^{\circ}$ BTDC($DP_{deg}$) are used for IMEP estimation. These pressure variables can represent effectively start of combustion(SOC) and fuel injection quantity respectively. The proposed IMEP estimation method is validated by transient engine operation using a common-rail direct injection diesel engine.

Recently we have a growing interest in environmental pollution and alternative energy. Diesel engine is generally used to produce the power on the ground and the sea. However, the combustion characteristics are changed on account of the wear of fuel system and the altered ambient condition of the combustion chamber by the increment of the engine operation hour. Therefore combustion characteristics on fuel injection timing are experimentally investigated to find out the optimum fuel injection timing in the case of the aged diesel engine using biodiesel blend oil. Cylinder pressure, rate of pressure rise, rate of heat release and combustion gas temperature are risen by the advancing fuel injection timing, while the exhaust gas temperature and soot emission level are decreased by the advancing of fuel injection timing. The least specific fuel oil consumption is indicated at BTDC $26^{\circ}$ CA on the 75%load and at 1800rpm.

The 3.9 liter diesel engine with a mechanical fuel injection system was converted to di-methyl ether (DME) engine and performance optimized. In order to switch to the DME engine, the plunger of the high pressure fuel pump was replaced and the diameter of the injector nozzle was increased. Through this, the disadvantage of DME having low calorific value per volume can be compensated. To optimize the performance, the number of injector nozzle holes, injector opening pressure, and fuel injection timing were changed. As a result, the optimum number of injector nozzle holes was 5, the injector opening pressure was from 15 MPa to 18 MPa, and the injection timing was 15 crank angle degree before top dead center (CAD BTDC). The power was at the same level as the base diesel engine and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions could be reduced.

The present study experimentally investigates the concentration distribution of liquid and vapor phase with different injection timings in the in-cylinder flow field of a optically accessible engine. The conventional MPI, DOHC engine was modified into DI gasoline engine. The images of liquid and vapor phases in the motoring engine were captured by using exciplex fluorescence method. Dopants used in this study were 2% fluorobenzene and 9% DEMA(diethyl-methyl-amino) in 89% solution of hexane by volume respectively. Two dimensional spray fluorescence images of liquid and vapor phases were acquired to analyze spray behaviors and fuel distribution in the in-cylinder flow field. Measurements were carried out fur four different injection timings, namely BTDC 270$^{\circ}$, 180$^{\circ}$, 90$^{\circ}$, and 50$^{\circ}$. Experimental results indicate that behaviors and distribution of vapor phase were largely affected by in-cylinder tumble flow, and mixture formation process was also greatly affected by in-cylinder flow at early injection mode and by ambient pressure at late injection mode.
