Recently, for the speed control of a diesel engine, some methods using the modern control theory such as LQ control technique, or $\textit{H}_{\infty}$control theory etc., have been reported. However, most of speed controlers of a diesel engine ever developed are still using the PID control algorithm. And, as another approach to the speed control of a diesel engine, the authors proposed already a new method to adjust the parameters of the PID controller by a model matching method. In the previous paper, the authors confirmed that the proposed new method is superior to Ziegler & Nichols's method through the analysis of results of the digital simulations under the assumption that the parameters of a diesel engine are known exactly. But, actually, it is very difficult to find out the value of parameters of a diesel engine accurately. And the parameters of a diesel engine are changigng according to the operating condition of a diesel engine. So, in this paper, a method to estimate the parameters of the PID controller for the speed control of a diesel engine by means of the model matching method are proposed. Also, the digital simulations are carried out in cases either with or without measurement noise. And this paper confirms that the proposed method here is superior to Ziegler & Nichols's method through the analysis of the characteristics of indicial responses.

Recently, lots of researchers have been attracted to develop various alternative fuels in diesel engine. The use of biodiesel fuel(BDF) is an effective way of substituting diesel fuel in the long run. But biodiesel fuel can affect the performance and emissions in diesel engine because it has different chemical and physical properties from diesel fuel. In this study, to investigate the combustion characteristics of biodiesel fuel as an alternative fuel for D.I. diesel engine, experiments were carried out at the three-cylinder, four stroke D.I. diesel engine with T/C. As a result, shorter ignition delays were observed for the biodiesel blend cases relative to the diesel oil. The pick value of premixed combustion for the rate of heat release is increased with decreasing C.F.W. temperature.

Application of hydroforming technology for Engine Cradle has done much to reduce the weight of it. In most cases, hydroformed member of Engine Cradle is made in one-piece. And this method cause a limeted design that amount of expansion at the center portion of the member is not enough to meet the required performance. This limited design leads to decrease the dynamic characteristics of Engine Cradle. In this paper, comparative analyses of conventional stamped engine cradle and hydroformed cradle of one-piece were conducted using Normal Mode analysis and FRF(Frequancy Response Function)analysis. Finally, to improve the disadvantage mentioned above, hydroformed member of 3-pieces was proposed.

One of the important operating factors for the air-fuel pre-mixed conditions in an HCCI engine is an in-cylinder flow. In this study, unsteady in-cylinder air flow characteristics in a diesel engine as a reference engine of an HCCI engine development were numerically analysed. Unsteady flow analyses were conducted with the combination of 3 intake port inlets, then the in-cylinder air flow distribution and swirl ratio results from a case were compared with the results from the other cases.

This study was carried out to reduce NOx emissions from diesel engine and to investigate the variation of engine performance using the water injection. In this study the water was extracted from the exhaust gas and injected directly into the intake port with the inlet charge. The water condensing system operated as a closed system without any supplementary water supply. The experimental parameters such as the revolution the torque and the water injection rate are varied and the result from this experiment found the significant NOx reduction whereas the smoke emission increases as water/air ratio increases as the cases like the EGR. In spite of increasing the quantity of the water injection the engine output was slightly decreased and the specific fuel consumption was increased as was anticipated. Especially the system was founded to be effective on the reduction of the NOx emissions at the high load region relatively.

In this paper, a fuzzy logic-based idle speed controller is designed for automotive engine with a purpose of high efficiency and low pollution. When the idle speed is low engine operation is not smooth, otherwise fuel consumption is incresed. Therefore the idle speed must be maintained as low as possible within the scope that ensures smooth operation of engine. By simulation, we show that the idle speed controller has generated a proper control signal as engine condition or enviornment varies, and also operated well for unexpected cases. Also, an engine simulator, which is used as a basic tool for controller design, is developed and utilized for reduction of development time and cost.

The existing digital governors are in the beginning stage. Placing the focus on the marine site, most of the digital governors developed are still using the simple PID algorithm. But, the performance of a diesel engine is widely changed according to the parameters of the PID controller. So, this article describes a new method to adjust the parameters of the PID controller in a marine digital governor. In this paper, the diesel engine is considered as a nonoscillatory second order system. A new method to adjust the parameters of the PID controller for speed control of a diesel engine is proposed by means of the model matching method. Also, the simulations by numerical methods are carried out in cases of the exact understanding or out of the parameters of a diesel engine respectively. And this paper confirms that the proposed new method here is superior to Ziegler & Nichols's method through the comparisons and analysis of the characteristics of indicial responses.

Finite element analysis was performed to analyze structural safety of a new heavy-duty direct injection diesel engine. A half section of the in-line 6-cylinder engine was selected as a computational domain. A mapping method was used to project heat transfer coefficients from CFD results of engine coolant flow onto the FE model. The accurate setting of thermal boundary condition on the FE model was expected to result in improved prediction of temperature, cylinder bore distortion, and stresses. Characteristics of high cycle fatigue were investigated by assuming the engine was operated under the following five loading conditions repeatedly; assembly force, assembly force with thermal loading, alternating maximum gas pressure loading at each cylinder combined with assembly force and thermal loading. Distribution of fatigue safety factor was calculated by using it Haigh diagram in which the maximum and the minimum stresses were selected from the five loading cases.

This paper introduces optimization techniques to design engine mount properties for passenger vehicle. The design targets are divided into three cases such as optimal positioning of powertrain modes, minimizing vibration of deriver's seat in idling and driving conditions. The proper models, mechanisms of vibration, and characteristics of optimization problems are discussed.

A combustion instability has been one of the most serious problems in the development of combustion devices including rocket engine and gas turbine. In particular, a high-frequency combustion instability generated by resonant coupling between combustion phenomena and acoustic oscillations within thrust chamber causes severe damage to the hardware. Because it is accompanied by high amplitude pressure oscillations and excessive heat flux to the chamber wall. Therefore, combustion instability is one of the difficult problems that must be resolved in developing liquid rocket engine. This paper describes the cases of combustion instability encounted during the development of thrust chamber for KSR-III and KSLV-II.
