지속적인 유가의 상승에 따라 국제 석유 자본들의 유전개발에 대한 투자가 활발하고 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세에 있다. 최근 5년 동안(2008~2013)에 인도된 드릴쉽(drill-ship)은 67척으로 그 이전 30년 동안에 인도된 척수의 두 배에 이른다. 그리고 최근에는 3,000 m 내외의 심해유전 개발이 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 시추 장비와 시스템이 대형화 추세에 있으며, 이들의 운전을 위한 디젤발전기의 용량이 증가하였다. 디젤발전기 용량은 일반 상선과는 달리 고출력 및 고전압이 요구되며, 이를 충족시키기 위하여 V-type 320 mm 실린더 내경의 고출력 엔진에 대한 수요가 증가하게 되었다. 드릴쉽의 경우 일반 상선 대비 선박건조 기간이 길어짐에 따라 커미셔닝 기간 중 장시간 저 부하 운전이 불가피하여 엔진 윤활유 관리의 중요성이 대두되었다. 최근에는 선박인도 전 크랭크핀에 캠마모(Cam wear)와 같은 이상마모가 발생하였으며 시리즈 호선 및 관련 호선들에 대한 크랭크핀의 전수 검사 결과 정도의 차이가 있었으나 모두 크랭크핀에 이상마모가 발생한 것이 확인되었다. 본 논문은 실제 호선에 적용된 엔진 크랭크핀의 이상마모 발생 원인에 대해 이상마모 메커니즘 분석과 실증결과 분석을 통하여 재발방지를 위한 대책 방안에 대하여 논하였다.

제로터(Gerotor) 오일펌프는 구조가 간단하고 1 회전당 토출량이 많기 때문에 소형화에 유리하며, 자동차의 엔진 윤활유 공급원 및 자동 변속기의 유압원으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 최근 자동차 산업에서는 연비향상 및 소음저감이 가장 중요한 문제로 대두되는데, 내접형 기어펌프 측면에서는 제로터의 치형설계 및 포트형상 설계를 통하여 이를 대처하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 유량맥동이 매우 작은 값을 가지도록 조합된(타원 1-타원형 인벌루트-타원 2) 외부로브 형상에 대하여 치형의 기구학적 조건을 만족하는 식을 유도하여 내부로브 형상을 창출하였으며, 이에 대한 첨점 및 루프가 발생하지 않는 설계인자 범위를 결정하였다. 또한 설계인자의 변화가 치형의 형상 및 성능인자(유량, 유량맥동)에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 최적의 치형을 구하고자 하였다.

A transient analysis on temperatures of fuel and oil in hydraulic and lubrication systems in an aircraft was studied using the finite difference method. Numerical calculation was performed by an explicit method with modified Dufort-Frankel scheme. Among various missions, air superiority mission was considered as a mission model with 20% hot day ambient condition in subsonic region. The ambience of the aircraft was assumed as turbulent flow. Convective heat transfer coefficient were used in calculating heat transfer between the aircraft surface and the ambience. For an aircraft on the ground, an empirical equation represented as a function of free-stream air velocity was used. And the heat transfer coefficient for flat plate turbulent flow suggested by Eckert was employed for in-flight phases. The governing equations used in this analysis are the mass and energy conservation equations on fuel and oils. Here, analysis of fuel and oil temperature in the engine was not carried out. As a result of this analysis, the ground operation phase has shown the highest temperature and the largest rate of temperature increase among overall mission phases. Also, it is shown that fuel flow rate through fuel/oil heat exchanger plays an important role in temperature change of fuel and oil. This analysis could be an important part of studies to ensure thermal stability of the aircraft and can be applicable to thermal design of the aircraft fuel system.

In this paper, the effect of oil conditions in rotor dynamic behaviors of a FFRB (Fully-Floating Ring Bearing) is investigated. Through the characteristic of a FFRB has two films, it has several advantages such as less friction loss and better stability over a wide speed range. However, it is difficult to supply a oil to the inner film. Thus, turbocharger makers have been paid significant attention to the lubrication of a FFRB because of its importance. This work focuses on the influence of oil inlet pressure and temperature. The methodologies of computational simulation and experimental test were used to estimate the rotor dynamic behaviors. In experimental test, the single-scroll turbocharger for the 1.4L diesel engine was used. The results show that the oil inlet pressure and temperature will place considerable influence on the rotor response. Oil conditions affect RSR (Ring Speed Ratio) which is cause of sub-synchronous vibrations, which also cause of oil whirling and whip even a critical speed. At higher speed range, the phenomenon of self-excited vibrations which is cause of instability of fluid whirl is investigated through the orbit shapes that consist of small orbit and large amplitude orbit. It is shown that some performance of a FFRB can be controlled by the conditions of oil supply. Finally, it was revealed that the oil induced operating conditions will strongly affect the turbocharger rotor dynamics behaviors.

Trap effect of groove is evaluated in a lubricating system using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The simulation is based on the standard k-ε turbulence model and the discrete phase model (DPM) using a commercial CFD code FLUENT. The simulation results are also capable of showing the particle trajectories in flow field. Computational domain is meshed using the GAMBIT pre-processor. The various grooves are applied in order to improve lubrication characteristics such as reduction of friction loss, increase in load carrying capacity, and trapping of the wear particles. Trap effect of groove is investigated with variations in cross-sectional shape and Reynolds number in this research. Various cross-sectional shapes of groove (rectangular, triangle, U shaped, trapezoid, elliptical shapes) are considered to evaluate the trap effect in simplified two-dimensional sliding bearing. The particles are assumed to steel, and defined a single particle injection condition in various positions. The “reflect” boundary condition for discrete phase is applied to the wall boundary, and the “escape” boundary condition to “pressure inlet” and “pressure outlet” conditions. The streamlines are compared with particles trajectories in the groove. From the results of numerical analysis in the study, it is found that the cross-sectional shapes favorable to the creation of vortex and small eddy current are effective in terms of particle trapping effect. Moreover, it is found that the Reynolds number has a strong influence on the pattern of vortex or small eddy current in the groove, and that the pattern of the vortex or small eddy current affects the trap effect of the groove.

Currently, the demand for green technologies toward a sustainable future is rapidly increasing due to growing concern over environmental issues. Methanol is biodegradable and can provide clean combustion to reduce sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions, and therefore it is a candidate fuel for marine engines. However, the effect of methanol on tribological characteristic degradation should be addressed for methanol-fueled engines. In this study, the methanol addition effects on tribological characteristic degradation is experimentally assessed using a pin-on-disk tribo-tester. Ni-based alloy is used as a target material due to its broad applicability as an engine component material. For a lubricant, engine oil with and without methanol are used. The tests are conducted for up to 10,000 cycles under boundary lubrication while the change in friction force is monitored. Additionally, the wear rate is determined based on laser scanning confocal microscope data. An additional test in which methanol is added at regular intervals is performed with an aim to directly observe its effect on friction. Overall, the friction coefficient increases slightly with increasing methanol concentration. Furthermore, the wear rate of the pin and disk increase significantly with methanol addition. The results also indicate that the friction increases instantaneously with methanol addition at the contacting interface. These findings may be useful for better understanding the methanol effect on the tribological characteristics of Ni-based alloys for methanol-fueled engines with improved performance.
