One of the methods to increase the efficiency of an engine is to expand pressures obtained from combustions equal to the pressure of atmosphere as much as possible and then convert thermal energy into mechanical energy also as much as possible. In this research, the Diesel cycle was thermodynamically interpreted to evaluate the possibility of high efficiency by converting Diesel engines to the Atkinson cycle, and general cycle features were analyzed after comparing these two cycles. In the case of fuel air the Diesel-Atkinson cycle considering intake and exhaust similar to real cycles, the value of thermal efficiency and average effective pressure increased, though their values were smaller than those of standard air amount cycle, when expansion compression ratio increased. When normal Diesel engines of which compression stroke and expansion stroke are all the same, was converted to the Atkinson cycle by changing the time of intake value close, combustion pressure reduced due to reduced expansion compression ratio and intake air amount due to decreased effective cycle volume.

The purpose of this study is to reduce harmful emission gases in the range of stable combustion without loss of a thermal efficiency. Therefore, effects of both exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) and synthetic gas addition on engine performance and emission were investigated in a gasoline engine. Synthetic gas(syngas), which is in general prepared from reforming gasoline, was utilized in order to promote stable combustion. The major components of syngas are H2, CO and $N_2$ gases. The percentage of syngas addition was changed from 0 to 30% in energy fraction and EGR rate was varied up to 30%. As a result, $COV_{IMEP}$ as a parameter of combustion stability was decreased and THC/$NO_X$ emissions were reduced with the increase of syngas addition. And $COV_{IMEP}$ was increased with the increase of EGR but $NO_X$ emission was greatly reduced. In addition, under the region where the EGR rate is around 20%, thermal efficiency was improved.

Recently, there has been rising interest in applying urea-SCR systems to large marine diesel engines because the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has decided to enforce NOx reduction regulations. Generally, in the case of urea-SCR of the marine diesel engine, a type of twin fluid atomizer has been using for injection of the urea solution. This study conducted to investigate an effect of the atomization of external-mixing twin fluid nozzle on the conversion efficiency of reductant. The lab-scaled experiment device was installed to mimic the urea-SCR system of the marine diesel engine for this study. In a low temperature inflow gas condition which is similar with the exhaust temperature of large marine diesel engine, this study found that the conversion efficiency of reductant of when relative big size urea solution droplets are injected into exhaust gas stream can be larger than that of when small size urea solution droplets are injected. According to results of this study, the reason was associated with decrease of reaction rate constant caused from temperature drop of inflow gas by assist air of twin fluid atomizer.

Recently, global warming and environmental pollution are becoming more important, and fuel economy is becoming important. Each automobile company is actively developing various new technologies to increase fuel efficiency. CVVD(Continuously Variable Valve Duration) system means a device that continuously changes the rotational speed of the camshaft to change the valve duration according to the state of the engine. In this paper, VVT(Variable Valve Timing) and CVVD were applied to a single-cylinder diesel engine, and the characteristics of intake and exhaust flow rate and in-cylinder pressure characteristics were analyzed by numerical analysis. In order to analyze the effect of CVVD on the actual engine operation, the study was performed by setting the valve control and injection pressure as variables in two sections of the engine operating region. As a result, In the case of applying CVVD, the positive overlap with the exhaust valve is maintained, thus it is possible to secure the flow smoothness of air and increase the volumetric efficiency by improving the flow rate. The section 2 condition showed the highest peak pressure, but the pressure rise rate was similar to that of the VVT 20 and CVCD 20 conditions up to 40 bar due to the occurrence of ignition delay.

The direct injection(DI) diesel engine has become a prime candidate for future transportation needs because of its high thermal efficiency. However, nitrogen oxides(NOx) increase in the local high temperature regions and particulate matter (PM) increases in the diffusion flame region within diesel combustion. Therefore, the demand for developing a suitable after treatment device has been increased. NOx absorbing catalysts are based on the concept of NOx storage and release making it possible to reduce NOx emission in net oxidizing gas conditions. This De-NOx system, called the LNT(Lean NOx Trap) catalyst, absorbs NOx in lean exhaust gas conditions and release it in rich conditions. This technology can give high NOx conversion efficiency, but the right amount of reducing agent should be supplied into the catalytic converter at the right time. In this research, a performance characteristics of LNT with a hydrogen enriched gas as a reductant was examined and strategies of controlling the injection and rich exhaust gas condition were studied. The NOx reduction efficiency is closely connected to the injection timing and duration of reductant. LNT can reduce NOx efficiently with only 1 % fuel penalty.

In this study, the spray atomization characteristics of urea injector used in SCR system for construction machinery was analyzed, and the uniformity index at the front of mixer and NOx conversion efficiency were evaluated through numerical analysis. Spray visualization and droplet size/velocity measurement were performed and the measured results were used to verify the spray analysis model to calculate the uniformity index in the exhaust gas after-treatment system. For the flow analysis, STAR-CCM, a three-dimensional CFD, was used and the uniformity index of the SCR system at the front of the mixer was calculated using the droplet dissociation model and the wall collision model. Finally, the DeNOx performance for the average condition of the NRTC driving mode was calculated to understand the NOx conversion efficiency reflecting the exhaust gas temperature. The simulation results show that the uniformity index at the front of mixer was calculated as 0.862 and DeNOx efficiency was 75.9%.

천연가스를 이용한 기존 엔진들은 효율이 우수한 희박연소를 구현하였지만 배기가스의 정화성능이 점차 강화되는 배기규제에 대응하기 위해, 이론공연비 연소 방식으로 관심이 옮겨지고 있다. 이론공연비 연소 방식은 유해 배출가스의 정화효율이 높은 삼원촉매를 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있지만, 높은 연소열 발생에 따른 열 내구성 문제와 연비가 해결과제로 남아 있다. 천연가스에 수소를 혼합한 수소-천연가스 혼합연료(HCNG))는 수소의 빠른 연소속도에 의한 영향으로 연소속도가 증가하고, 희박한계가 증가하여 배기가스재순환(Exhaust gas recirculation; EGR) 률의 공급을 증가할 수 있다. EGR률 상승은 연소온도를 낮추게 되어 엔진 열 내구성에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있고, 압축비를 더욱 증가 시킬 수 있어서 효율적인 연소조건을 형성하도록 도움을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 대형 가스엔진을 이용하여 개발한 이론공연비 연소 방식의 HCNG 엔진의 배출가스 저감을 최소화하기 위해, 삼원촉매를 개발 및 적용하여 배기가스 특성을 평가하고 분석하고자 하였다. 현재 상용화된 시내버스용 삼원촉매와 HCNG용으로 개발 중인 시제 삼원촉매를 각각 설치하여 정상상태 운전조건 및 과도운전조건에서 실험을 진행하고 모드실험 결과를 비교하였다.
