A control-oriented nonlinear dynamic engine model is developed to represent a spark ignited engine over a wide range of operating conditions. The model includes intake manifold dynamics,. fuel film dynamics, and engine rotational dynamics with transport delays inherent in the four stroke engine cycles. The model is mathematically compact enough to run in real time, and can be used as an embedded model within a control algorithm or an observer. The model is validated with engine-dynamometer experimental data, and can be used in design and development of a powertrain controller.

The worldwide focus on reducing the emissions, fuel and lubricant consumption in T-GDI engines is leading engineers to consider the crankcase ventilation and oil mist separation system as an important means of control. In today's passenger cars, the oil mist separation systems mainly use the inertia effect (e.g. labyrinth, cyclone etc.). Therefore, this study has investigated high efficiency cylinder head-integrated oil-mist separator by using a compact multi-impactor type oil mist separator system to ensure adequate oil mist separation performance. For this purpose, engine dynamometer testing with oil particle efficiency measurement equipment and 3D two-phase flow simulation have been performed for various engine operating conditions. Tests with an actual engine on a dynamometer showed oil aerosol particle size distributions varied depending on operating conditions. For instance, high rpm and load increases bot only blow-by gases but the amount of small size oil droplets. Submicron-sized particles (less than 0.5 ㎛) were also observed. It is also found that the impactor type separator is able to separate nearly no droplets of diameter lower than 3 ㎛. CFD results showed that the complex aerodynamics processes that lead to strong impingement and break-up can strip out large droplets and generate more small size droplets.

This is an experimental study on the chassis dynamometer and high way road testing during a severe winter and summer season. Results obtained to compare with the ultrasonic fuel feeding system and conventional fuel system in diesel automobile engine. The results were as followers in case of the ultrasonic fuel feeding system. 1. In chassis dynamometer testing during given vehicle speeds, output were increased from 4.6 to 11.43%, brake specific fuel consumption were increased from 6 to 19%, smoke were decreased from 16.7 to 50%. 2. The running fuel consumption ratio in high way road test were decreased by 15.3% at a severe summer and 20.2% at a severe winter.

An experimental investigation was conducted to investigate the effect of Bio-ethanol fuel on the engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics under various engine operating conditions. To investigate the effect of bio-ethanol fuel, the commercial 1.6L SI engine equipped with 4 cylinder was tested on EC dynamometer. The engine performance including brake torque, brake specific fuel consumption, and barke specific energy consumption of bio-ethanol fuel was compared to those obtained by pure gasoline. Furthermore, the exhaust emissions were analyzed in terms of regulated exhaust emissions such as unburned hydrocarbon, oxides of nitrogen, and carbon monoxide.Result of this work shows that the effect of blending of ethanol to gasoline caused drastic decrease of emissions under various operating conditions. Also, improved engine performance such as brake torque and brake power were indicated for bio-ethanol fuel.

This is an experimental study on the performance characteristics and combustion characteristics of common-rail type diesel engine by using ultrasonic energy. It is carried out engine performance by engine dynamometer test and combustion characteristics using ultrasonically irradiated diesel fuel in comparison with using conventional diesel fuel. In analyzing the experiments of these results generally, these are obtained as follows. There is an affirmative effect on the side of the improvement of power and the reduction of smoke by applying the ultrasonically irradiated diesel fuel to the common rail engine. But there is less effect on the side of improvement of BSFC.

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 goal of this research is to confirm reliable durability and evaluate the engine performance of the current aluminum alloy piston and the newly developed steel forging piston. For such purpose, the test environment was built with 2.91 target engine mounted on the engine dynamometer and additional exhaust gas analysis system. Using the test environment, engine performance test was conducted, and durability test was also conducted using a dedicated piston durability test equipment for 400,000 km. As a result of the experiment, similar durability was appeared for both aluminum piston and steel piston, and the engine output power and torque are slightly reduced because of $158\%$ heavier weight of the steel piston compare to the aluminum alloy piston.

This paper presents the performance and characteristics of small spark-ignited small 2-stroke engine. A single cylinder, two-stroke, air cooled 23cc SI engine for brush-cutter was used in this study. For the performance of the engine, rpm, torque, fuel consumption and lubricate oil consumption were measured, and also HC, CO, NOx emissions and excess air ratio according to throat open ratio under two lubrication method were measured and analyzed. The results showed that maximum of engine rpm is nearly same in both methods and also, torque, power is similar. exhaust emissions tend to decrease with throat open ratio.

This study was carried out to develop a diesel engine for marine propulsion. This marine diesel engine was developed based on a 500Ps vehicle diesel engine. Many main parts, such as the intercooler, radiator, and engine controller were designed for the marine diesel engine. The intercooler was designed to be of sea water cooling type; inlet air is cooled by sea water. Engine coolant is cooled by sea water in the radiator too. The water cooling heat exchanger has high cooling performance. In the cooling system, consists of the intercooler and the radiator, the sea water passes through the intercooler and then the radiator, in sequence. This process is very effective compared to the reverse method in which sea water passes through the radiator and then the intercooler, in sequence. The control performance of the engine controller and the fuel injection rate were improved using an engine speed controller. This system was tested on an engine dynamometer and an exhaust gas analyzer using the marine diesel engine test method. Test results show that the 500Ps marine diesel engine satisfied the IMO NOx regulations; Tier II.

After-treatment system for gasoline direct injection engines should be considered due to the regulation standard for particle number emitted from spark ignition engine vehicles. A metal foam particulate filter, which is thought to be more proper for gasoline engines for its unique filtration and heat resistance characteristics, has been evaluated via engine dynamometer tests.
