Shipping company and operators have to manage well to keep shipping schedules without problems in main engine. Specially operators have to operate main engine within the limit of operation point, and adjust related parameters to be operated safely and continuously. Also operators have ability to analyze fouling condition of hull through comparing data gotten from P-V curve and performance results of new building ships in trial with service ships. In this study, not only compared main engine performance results in shop trial and sea trial, but also investigated performance trend in accordance with the time elapsed for the service ship's diesel engine. They were confirmed as follows. First, shop trial load is higher than sea trial load but ship's speed is satisfied with owner's contract speed. Second as time goes by, load of service ship increases steadily and other parameters related with main engine shows variable change depend on main engine load increasing.

In this study, the characteristics of NOx reduction by using charge air moisturizer system were evaluated by engine performance simulation in medium speed diesel engines. The results of performance simulation were verified by experimental results of single cylinder medium speed diesel engine equipped with charge air moisturizer system. Performance simulation was carried out to evaluate charge air moisturizer system of turbocharged diesel engine, HYUNDAI HiMSEN 9H25/33 engine. Those results show 50% NOx reduction at dew point $80^{\circ}C$ and charge air pressure 4bar.

The performance of cooling fan is affected by many peripheral parts, such as radiator, condenser, engine block and etc. Higher power has been requested in more confined automobile engine room. Thus, cooling performance becomes very important to remove the heat generated from the automobile engine more efficiently. In this paper, the performance of cooling fan including effects of engine block is investigated by using a fan tester based on the ASHRAE and the AMCA standards. A flow rate - gap distance curves and a flow rate - engine block constant curves are obtained from this study.

A program of steady-state and transient performance analysis for a 200kW-class small turboshaft engine with free power turbine was developed. An existing turbojet engine was used for the gas generator of the developed turboshaft engine, which was modified to satisfy performance requirements of this turboshaft engine. To verify the accuracy of steady-state performance program for this engine: the program was applied to the gas turbine test unit of the same type, and the analysis results were compared with experimental results. The developed transient performance analysis program using the CMF (Constant Mass Flow) method was utilized to analyze the cases of step increase and ramp increase of the fuel.

As a preliminary research to provide amendment for the engine performance test regulation of two-wheeled vehicles, the engine performance data are investigated in terms of maximum torque, rated power, and engine speed of motorcycles on sales in Korean market. Based on the engine performance database officially published to consumers, some forecasted problems are discussed when the maximum torque and the rated power are measured under the present test standards. EU and Korea regulations on engine performance test are carefully compared in terms of the accuracy of measurement devices, test procedures including data acquisition method, and allowable range of rated power measurement. Complementary items are discussed to eliminate ambiguities in the present regulation and to construct rational regulation system.

The EGR system has been widely used to reduce nitrogen oxides (NO$\_$x/) emission, to improve fuel economy and suppress knock by using the characteristics of charge dilution. However, as the EGR rate at a given engine operating condition increases, the combustion instability increases. The combustion instability increases cyclic variations resulting in the deterioration of engine performance and emissions. Therefore, the optimum EGR rate should be carefully determined in order to obtain the better engine performance and emissions. An experimental study has been performed to investigate the effects of EGR on combustion stability, engine performance,70x and the other exhaust emissions from 1.5 liter gasoline engine. Operating conditions are selected from the test result of the high speed and high acceleration region of SFTP mode which generates more NO$\_$x/ and needs higher engine speed compared to FTP-75 (Federal Test Procedure) mode. Engine power, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions are measured with various EGR rate. Combustion stability is analyzed by examining the variation of indicated mean effective pressure (COV$\_$imep/) and the timings of maximum pressure (P$\_$max/) location using pressure sensor. Engine performance is analyzed by investigating engine power and maximum cylinder pressure and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC)

An analysis has been made on the performance variation due to pressure drop change at propellant supply pipes of liquid rocket engine. The objective is to compare the effectiveness of control variables to tune the liquid rocket engine performance. The mode analysis program has been used to estimate the engine performance for different modes which is realized by controlling the flow rate of propellant. The oxidizer of combustion chamber, the fuel of combustion chamber, the oxidizer of gas generator and the fuel of gas generator are the independent variables to control engine thrust, engine mixture ratio and temperature of gas generator product gas. The analysis program is validated by comparing with the powerpack test results. The error range of compared variables is order of 4%. After comparison of tuning effectiveness it is turned out that the pressure drop at oxidizer pipe of gas generator and pressure drop at combustion chamber fuel pipe and the pressure drop at the fuel pipe of gas generator can effectively tune the thrust of engine, mixture ratio of engine and temperature of product gas from gas generator respectively.

In order to investigate the operation performance behaviors of the UAV's propulsion system to be operated long time in high altitude, the engine performance tests, which are simulated in the altitude engine test facility should be needed. If the test is performed in a existing altitude engine test facility, additional test apparatuses are required. Among them a proper design of the inlet and exhaust ducts that may directly affect the engine performance is very important. If the design is not adequate, the engine performance loss due to the flow behavior change and the pressure loss may be not similar to the real engine performance. In this work, firstly the engine inlet and exhaust ducts to be mounted to the existing altitude facility are modelled in 3D and its flow behaviors and pressure losses are analyzed using a commercial CFD tool, ANSYS's CFX, and the engine performance with the duct losses is calculated using the performance analysis program developed by C. Kong et al. Finally, the optimized inlet and exhaust ducts' configurations are proposed through the repeated analyses of various duct configurations.

This study was carried out to develop a process to design a stirling engine utilizing agricultural energy resources and to understand problems confronted in manufacturing the engine in domestic environments, and to suggest methods to improve performance of the engine. A small prototype of the engine was designed, manufactured and tested for its performance. The study proved that more work would be needed to develop a method to seal the engine and to make the engine cooler. Performance of the engine was a little inferrior to that of the GPU-3 engine and was expected to be enhanced by improvement of heat transfer and power transmission mechanisms.

Recently air pollution is increased according to increase of vehicle. So many countries are studying about compressed natural gas engine. Research on the development of CNG dedicated engine that has important meaning both as a clean fuel and an alterna-tive energy to reduce the exhaust emission from diesel engine are actively going on these days. In this study the character-istics of CNG engine was investigated and the engine performance experimented by changing the parameters such as boost pressure. The CNG engine performance and exhaust emission were measured by engine performance mode at maximum load condition with increasing the rpm in the range of 1,000-2,200rpm. The exhaust emission was also measured at D-13 mode and compared to the emission regulation.
