Many researchers have developed the measurement technique of in-cylinder flow characteristics and found the effect of intake port geometries on engine performance. The flow characteristics of four-valve cylinder head were examined in a steady flow rig for different intake ports. Tumble intensity of intake configurations with different entry angles were quantified with a tumble meter. The velocity and angular momentum distributions in the tumble adaptor were measured under steady conditions with PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry). We have obtained the results that flow structure becomes complicated by valve interference at low valve lift. As the valve interferences were reducing and the flow pattern changed to large vortex structure with tumble direction, intake ports with different entry angles have different tumble centers. Tumble eccentricity of intake port with low entry angle was large, so that the port had relatively much angular momentum compared to others which was expected to improve combustion performance.

It is an experimental study to improve the characteristics of combustion and exhaust emission gas in the gasoline engine. These characteristics are influenced by the fuel droplet size. To improve these characteristics, we make the ultrasonic atomization apparatus, and compare with the commercial carburetor. The results obtained are as follows: 1. Maximum atomization quantity is obtained by the vibrator of resonancy frequency 1.65MHz in the ultrasonic atomization apparatus. 2. With ultrasonic atomization apparatus, more than 99% of atomization rate can be obtained regardless of intake air temperature, velocity, and air-fuel ratio. 3. Atomization rate of the commercial carburetor increases with the air-fuel ratio and intake air temperature. 4. Difference of atomization rate between the ultrasonic atomization apparatus and the commercial carburetor increases with decreasing air-fuel ratio. 5. Droplet size is about 1-5.mu.m at the ultrasonic atomization apparatus, and 80-150.mu.m at the commercial carburetor, which indicates the ultrasonic atomization apparatus is excellent in atomization.

본 연구에서는 가스터빈 연소기에 적용하기 위한 예혼합 스월버너의 배기가스 및 화염안정성 최적화를 위하여 버너의 구조변경에 따른 연소특성을 실험적으로 분석하였다. 버너의 연료분사구조에 따른 배기가스 배출 특성을 파악하고자 단일연료분사구조와 이중연료분사구조를 갖는 예혼합 버너의 연소특성을 비교 분석하였으며 이중연료분사구조 적용 시 연료/공기 혼합특성이 향상되어 CO와 NOx의 배출농도가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한, 노즐출구와 라이너의 지름 비(confined ratio)에 따른 연소부하 및 배기가스 특성을 분석한 결과 confined ratio 감소 시 연소부하 감소로 인해 NOx 배출농도가 감소되었으며, 체류시간의 증가로 인해 CO의 산화 반응이 증가하여 CO 배출농도가 감소하였다. 노즐분출속도는 30 m/s에서 배기가스특성이 우수하며, 속도 증가(40 m/s) 시 배가스특성이 저하되고 속도 감소(20 m/s) 시 화염안정성이 저하되었다.

An experimental study on flame lift-off characteristics of propane jet flame highly diluted with nitrogen has been conducted introducing acoustic forcing with a tube resonant frequency. A flame stability curve is attained according to forcing strength and nozzle exit velocity for $N_2$ diluted flames. Flame lift-off behavior with forcing strength and nozzle exit velocity is globally categorized into three; a well premixed behavior caused by a collapsible mixing for large forcing strength, a coexistent behavior of well-premixed and edge flames interacting with well-organized inner fuel vortices for moderate forcing strengths, and edge flame behavior for small forcing strengths. Special focus is concentrated on the coexistent behavior of the flame base in lifted flame since this may give a hint to a possibility which the flame base behaves like a well-mixed premixed flame in highly turbulent lifted flames. It is also shown that the acoustic forcing to self-pulsating laminar lifted flame affects flame lift-off behavior considerably which is closely related to downstream flow velocity, mixture strength, effective fuel Lewis number, and flame stretch.

A micro cyclone combustor was developed to be used as a heat source of thermoelectric power generator (TPG). The cyclone combustor was designed so that fuel and air were supplied to the combustion chamber separately. The mixing and flow characteristics in the combustor were investigated numerically. The global equivalence ratio (${\Phi}$), defined using the fuel and air flow rates, was introduced to examine the flow features of the combustor. The mixing of fuel and air inside the combustor could be well understood using the fuel concentration distribution. It was found that the weak recirculating zone was formed upper the fuel-supplying tube in case of ${\Phi}$ < 1.0. In addition, it was found that small regions that have a negative axial velocity exist near the fuel injection ports. It is assumed that these negative axial velocity regions can stabilize a flame inside the micro cyclone combustor.

In the combustion system, the optimum spray conditions reduce the pollutant emission of exhaust gas and enhance the fuel efficiency. The spray characteristics-the drop size, the drop velocity, the number density and the mass flux, become increasingly important in the design of combustor and in testifying numerical simulation of spray flow in the combustor. The purposes of this study are to clarify the spray characteristics of twin-fluid nozzle and to offer the data for combustor design and the numerical simulation of a spray flow. Spatial drop diameter was measured by immersion sampling method. The mean diameter, size distribution and uniformity of drop were analyzed with variations of air/liquid mass flow ratio. The results show that the SMD increases with the liquid supply flow rate and decreases with the air supply velocity. The radial distribution of SMD shows the larger drops can diffuse farther to the boundary of spray. And the drop size range is found to be wider close to the spray boundary where the maximum SMD locates.

Lean laminar premixed propane and methane flames which were anchored by a hydrogen-pilot flame in a tube were investigated experimentally. The flame shapes were observed by varying mean velocity from 10cm/s to 140cm/s and equivalence ratio from 0.45 to 0.8. In this study, behaviors of flames are divided into five regions such as tail-out, flash-back, flickering, stable and vibrating flames with respect to the mean velocity and the equivalence ratio. Although the flames are unstable in both the flickering and the vibrating region, they have different characteristics such as the frequency, sound generation and creation process of flame curvature. The flickering region exists near the flammability limit and the flame flickers in a frequency of about 10Hz. When flame front is bended, the propane flame front is straightened and the methane flame front is bended more by thermo-diffusive instability. In the vibrating region, the flame vibrates emitting audible sound in a frequency of about 100Hz. In the boundary of vibrating region, the vibration of flame changes between two modes such as single frequency vibration and dual frequency vibration. Increase and decrease of vibration in each mode are determined by thermo-acoustic instability.

This paper deals with the design and modal characteristics analysis of a drive-train for a paralleltype hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The function of the drive-train system (DTS) in the HEV combines or divides the torque and velocity from the internal combustion engine along with the induction motor. The system consists of a compound planetary gear and unit's electromagnetic clutch to provide the operation modes such as Engine Only (EO), Electric Vehicle (EV), and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) modes. In order to investigate the characteristics of the velocity and torque flow for the system, dynamic models of the HEV with DTS are derived from the prototype DTS. The performance of the derived dynamic models is evaluated by both computer simulations and experiments according to each mode.
