To identify the detailed 3D flow characteristics of a model scramjet engine, a unified 3D numerical analysis was performed. The numerical domain of concern includes the entire flow path of the model scramjet engine extending from the intake to the nozzle exhaust. Turbulent models($k-{\omega}$ SST and low Reynolds number k-e with Sarkar model) were applied with comparison of experiment result. Intake side wall's effect on flow characteristics was analyzed in view points of flow quality at inlet duct and near the flame holder as well. The code is paralleled with multi-block feature using MPI(Massage Passing Interface) library to speed up the 3D calculation.

Although Graphite Compacted Vermicular (GCV) was first observed in 1948, the narrow range for stable foundry production precluded the high volume application of GCV to complex components such as cylinder blocks and heads until advanced process control technologies became available. This, in turn, had to await the advent of modern measurement electronics and computer processors. Following the development of foundry techniques and manufacturing solutions, primarily initiated in Europe during the 1990s, the first series production of GCV cylinder blocks began during 1999. Today, more than 40,000 GCV cylinder blocks are produced each month for OEMs, including Audi, DAF, Ford, Hundai, MAN, Mercedes, PSA, Volkswagen, and Volvo. Given that new engine programs are typically intended to support three to four vehicle generations, the chosen engine materials must satisfy current design criteria and also provide the potential for future performance upgrades without changing the overall block architecture. With at least a 75% increase in the ultimate tensile strength, a 40% increase in the elastic modulus, and approximately double the fatigue strength of either iron or aluminum, GCV is ideally suited to meet current and future of engine design and performance requirements.

The purpose of this paper studies the failure cases including with system of liquefied phase injection in liquified petroleum gas vehicle. The first case, resulting with inspection the injector of LPG, it occasionally certified the injection damage phenomenon that the fuel efficiency(km/l) was decreased to 5% by carbon deposit with injector hole when the driver operates the vehicle. The second case, it certified the interference phenomenon of air flow with carbon deposit in ISA system control for idle speed of engine and throttle body suppling air into engine. As a result, the fuel efficiency was decreased 7%. The third case, the outer air during intake stroke was intermittently flowed in this gasket gap because of weaken adhesion power phenomenon for cylinder block by intake manifold gasket tearing. Consequentially, it certified the decrease for fuel efficiency to 3% by risen the amount of fuel injection as the air inflow quantity. These failure examples reduced the power performance of engine and the fuel efficiency of vehicle. It have to minimize of failure phenomenon preparing through quality management.

In this study, the effects of water vapor in inlet air on combustion efficiency, general performance, knock characteristics and emission gas concentration were investig- ated through the experiments of combustion and vibration analyses, emission gas analysis by changing water vapor quantity in inlet air with temperature and humidity auto control unit. With partial vapor pressure increase, the brake torque at wide open throttle status decreased and the average ignition delay angle increased, IMEP (indicated mean effective pressured using the integral and 3rd derivatives of filtered cylinder pressure as knock intensity, which matched well with the method of frequency power spectrum of block vibration signal. Water vapor in intake air had influence on the spark knock sensitivity. With the increase of water vapor content in intake air NOx emission was decreased and HC emission was increased.

Highly over-expanded nozzle of the rocket engines will be excited by non-axial forces due to flow separation at sea level operations. Since rocket engines are designed to produce axial thrust to power the vehicle, non-axial static and/or dynamic forces are not desirable. Several engine failures were attributed to the side loads. Present work investigate the unsteady flow in an over-expanded rocket nozzle in order to estimate side load during a shutdown/starting. Numerical computations has been carried out with density based solver on multi-block structured grid. Present solver is explicit in time and unsteady time step is calculated using dual time step approach. AUSMDV is considered as a numerical scheme for the flux calculations. One equation Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model is selected. Results presented here is for two nozzle pressure ratio i.e. 100 and 20. At 100 NPR, restricted shock separation (RSS) pattern is observed while, 20 NPR shows free shock separation (FSS) pattern. Side load is observed during the transition of separation pattern at different NPR.

자동차 엔진블럭을 생산하는 라인은 대표적인 흐름생산 방식의 가공라인이다. 자동차 제조업체에서는 새로운 차종을 개발하면 엔진가공라인을 새롭게 설계해야 할 필요성인 생긴다. 엔진가공라인을 설계하기 위해서는 연간생산목표량을 비롯한 여러 가지 요인들을 고려하게 되는데 설계단계에서 발생하는 오류는 향후 라인설치가 완료되어 양산에 들어가면 많은 문제점을 발생시킨다. 따라서 초기 설계안이 완성되면 검증절차를 거치게 되는데 이때 가장 유용한 도구가 시뮬레이션이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 자동차 엔진블럭 가공라인 설계를 딸 때 반영해야할 요인들과 설계안 검토시 고려해야할 요인들을 고찰하고, 시뮬레이션을 인용한 실제 검증사례를 소개하고자 한다.

The power plant system of a tilt rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was verified by the Ironbird ground test, which considerably reduces cost and risk during the developmental stages. The function and performance of the engine, drive line, nacelle conversion, and rotor systems were evaluated using a building block test approach. The Ironbird test concept facilitates the discovery of potential faults in earlier stages of the testing period. As a result, the developmental testing period could effectively be shortened. The measured test data acquired through a ground control and data acquisition system exhibited satisfactory results which meet the developmental specifications of a tilt rotor UAV.

The power steering pump bracket for a passenger car which is mounted on the engine block plays a role to support the inertia forces of the pump and the reaction forces of the belt assembly. The existing bracket which is made of FCD material has some demerits such as heavy weight, lower productivity and lower reliability. Recently, AI alloy bracket has been investigated to overcome these demerits. In this study, Stress analysis and modal analysis for a existing FCD bracket and two type of AI alloy brackets were performed, and strength and natural frequency of them were estimated by using finite element method to accomplish the weight reduction. As a result, the modified shape of AI alloy bracket is proposed, and it has achieved the 45% weight reduction and the improvement of its strength and vibration characteristics.

This paper shows the methods about an improvement of the sound quality, which is improvement for automobil market recently. Especially, the rumble noise in the passenger compartment makes driver uncomfortable. For an improvement of the rumble noise, in this paper, the increase of the number of balance weight of the crank shaft(from 4 to 8), the vibration constrainer of cylinder block and the flexible flywheel were applied to power plant. Among those kinds of applications, the application of the flexible flywheel to power plant makes not only the vibration of the engine mount boss reduce most effectly but also the interior noise. It also improves the sound quality and the rumble noise disappears in the passenger compartment.
