A pure oxygen combustion technology is crucial in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology especially in capturing of $CO_2$, where CCS will reduce 9 $GtCO_2$ by 2050, which is 19% of the total $CO_2$ reduction amount. To make pure oxygen combustion feasible, a regenerative system is required to enhance the efficiency of pure oxygen combustion system. However, an existing air combustion technology is not directly applicable due to the absence of nitrogen that occupies the 78% of air. This study, therefore, investigates the heat and fluid flow in a regenerative system for pure oxygen combustion by using commercial CFD software, FLUENT. Our regenerative system is composed of aluminium packed spheres. The effect of the amount of packed spheres in regenerator and the effect of presence or absence of a bypass of exhaust gas are investigated. The more thermal mass in regenerator makes the steady-state time longer and temperature variation between heating and regenerating cycle smaller. In the case of absence of bypass, the regenerator saturates because of enthalpy imbalance between exhaust gas and oxygen. We find that 40% of exhaust gas is to be bypassed to prevent the saturation of regenerator.

The Effect of Space Velocity(SV) on NOx conversion rate was performed to develop NOx reduction after-treatment system. SV is calculated from engine exhaust gas volume and SCR catalyst volume. Found the Urea injection duty of maximum efficiency for NOx conversion if increase SV, NOx Conversion rate is down. Especially, when SV is more than $110,000h^{-1}$, NOx conversion rate decrease suddenly. Same case, if SV is lower than $40,000h^{-1}$, NOx conversion rate is down. Also, the characterization of Urea-SCR system was performed. Three candidate injectors for injecting Urea were tested in terms of 속 injection rate and NOx reduction rate. The performances of SCR catalytic converter on temperature were investigated. The performance of Urea-SCR system was estimated in the NEDC test cycle with and without EGR. It was found that nozzle type injector had high NOx conversion rate. SCR catalytic converter had the highest efficiency at the temperature of $350^{\circ}C$. EGR+Urea-SCR system achieved NOx reduction efficiency of 73% through the NEDC test cycle.

The NOx removal performance of the SCR process depends on various factors such as catalytic factors (catalyst composition, shape, space velocity, etc.), temperature and flow rate distribution of the exhaust gas. Among them, the uniformity of the flow flowing into the catalyst bed plays the most important role. In this study, the flow characteristics in the SCR reactor in the design stage were simulated using a three-dimensional numerical analysis technique to confirm the uniformity of the airflow. Due to the limitation of the installation space, the shape of the inlet duct was compared with the two types of inlet duct shape because there were many curved sections of the inlet duct and the duct size margin was not large. The effect of inlet duct shape, guide vane or mixer installation, and venturi shape change on SCR reactor internal flow, airflow uniformity, and space utilization rate of ammonia concentration were studied. It was found that the uniformity of the airflow reaching the catalyst layer was greatly improved when an inlet duct with a shape that could suppress drift was applied and guide vanes were installed in the curved part of the inlet duct to properly distribute the process gas. In addition, the space utilization rate was greatly improved when the duct at the rear of the nozzle was applied as a venturi type rather than a mixer for uniform distribution of ammonia gas.

디젤엔진은 높은 열효율과 우수한 연비 성능 등의 장점을 가지고 있으나, 기화된 연료와 주변 공기가 혼합된 후 착화되는 과정을 거치기 때문에 이론 공연비 영역에서는 질소산화물(NOx) 배출이 증가되는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 최근 활발히 연구되고 있는 높은 정화 효율을 가진 LNT 촉매는 희박 분위기 조건에서는 NOx를 흡장하게 되고 과농한 분위기에서는 환원 분위기 형성을 통하여 NOx를 저감시키게 된다. 희박 공연비에서 동작하는 디젤 엔진에서는 이러한 환원 과정을 이루기 위해 주기적으로 과농한 분위기를 형성해주어야만 하는데, 이러한 연구는 NOx 저감을 위해 HC를 포함한 환원제의 농도를 제어하는 기술로서 본 연구에서는 디젤을 연료로 하는 수소농후가스 발생장치를 이용하여 LNT 촉매에 환원제로서 수소농후가스를 직접 공급하는 방식으로 LNT 촉매의 NOx 저감 특성을 파악하였다.

국내 승용차용 삼원촉매의 경우 열적 내구성을 만족시키지 못하고 조기 파손되는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 이것은 차량의 배기가스 정화장치의 신뢰성에 치명적 손상을 유발시키므로 삼원촉매의 내구성 평가 모델을 파악할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 세라믹 모노리스 담체에서 발생되는 열응력을 구한 뒤 강도저하계수모델과 파손확률을 기초로 삼원촉매의 열적 내구성을 평가하였다.

The technique of $NH_3$ SCR (selective catalytic reduction) assisted by plasma oxidation has been applied to a 2,000 cc diesel engine. The present combined $deNO_x$ process consists of two steps. The first step is that about 50% of emitted NO from the engine is oxidized to $NO_2$ in a plasma oxidation process. The second step is that NO and $NO_2$ are simultaneously reduced to $N_2$ in the $NH_3$ SCR process. The engine test results showed that the $deNO_x$ rates of the present combined process are higher than those of conventional SCR process by 20%. Such a high performance of the combined process is noticeable especially, when the exhaust temperature are relatively low, i.e., $170-220^{\circ}C$. To provide a feasibility of the present technique the effects of operating conditions, such as an electrical input energy, an exhaust gas temperature, an initial NO concentration, and the amount of hydrocarbon addition, were discussed.

In order to enhance combustion efficiency, oxygen-enriched combustion is used by increasing the oxygen ratio in the oxidizer. However, since the flame temperature increases, NOx formation in the furnace seriously increases for low oxygen enrichment ratio. In this case, reburning is a useful technology for reducing nitric oxide. In this research, experimental studies have been conducted to evaluate the hybrid effects of reburning/selective non-catalytic reaction (SNCR) and reburning/air staging on NOx formation and also to examine heat transfer characteristics in various oxygen-enriched LPG flames. Experiments were performed in flames stabilized by a co-flow swirl burner, which were mounted at the bottom of the furnace. Tests were conducted using LPG gas as main fuel and also as reburn fuel. The paper reported data on flue gas emissions, temperature distribution in furnace and various heat fluxes at the wall for a wide range of experimental conditions. Overall temperature in the furnace, heat fluxes to the wall and NOx generation were observed to increase by low level oxygen-enriched combustion, but due to its hybrid effects of reburning, SNCR and Air staging, NOx concentration in the exhaust have decreased considerably.

1.7L 커먼레일 직접분사 디젤엔진에 대하여 바이오 디젤 연료가 conventional 연소(PM-NOx 트레이드오프 존재)와 저온 연소(low temperature combustion, LTC)에서 배기가스 배출에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. LTC 연소는 conventional 연소 대비 다량의 EGR 과 연료분사 조건 최적화를 통하여 이루어졌다. 실험에 사용한 두 가지 연료는 초저유황 디젤연료(ultra low sulfur diesel fuel, ULSD), ULSD 에 대두유를 20%(vol. base)혼합한 바이오 디젤 연료(B20)이다. 사용된 연료에 관계없이 LTC 연소를 통하여 conventional 연소 대비 PM 및 NOx 의 동시 저감이 가능하였다. 동일한 엔진작동 조건에 대하여 conventional 연소의 경우 B20 는 ULSD 보다 PM은 적게 배출되나, NOx 는 많이 배출되었다. LTC 연소의 경우 B20 는 ULSD 보다 PM 및 NOx 생성이 많았다.

This study is to investigate the effects of water induction through the air intake system on the characteristics of combustion and exhaust emissions in diesel engine. The effects of water induction through the air intake port were considered in IDI diesel engine in this study. The formation of NOx was significantly suppressed by decreasing the gas peak temperature during the initial combustion process because the water play a role as a heat sink during evaporating in the combustion chamber, but the smoke was slightly increased with increased water amount. Also, NOx significantly decreased with increase in water amount. A simultaneous reduction in smoke and NOx emissions can be obtained when water is injected into the combustion chamber by retarding the fuel injection timing more than without water injection.

IMO MEPC에서는 지구온난화를 늦추기 위해서, 선박에서 배출되는 GHG(Green House Gas)인 $CO_2$를 줄이기 위한 방안으로 선속을 다운시켜 운항할 것을 제안한바 있으며, 해운회사에서도 연료비 절감을 위해서 자발적으로 감속운항(Low steaming)을 하고 있어, 국제항해에 종사하고 있는 대부분의 컨테이너선들이 감속운항을 하고 있다. 또한, 날로 증가되고 있는 해운 물동량 증가로 선박의 연료비 부담이 증가되고 있어 연료비 절감 기술개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 디젤엔진의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 연료첨가제(유용성 칼슘계 유기금속화합물)를 일정량 투입(사용 연료량의 0.025%) 하여 연료비를 절감하는 방법을 시도하였다. 실험의 정확도를 위해서 육상 발전소에 설치된 2행정 대형 디젤엔진을 실험 대상으로 하였다. 실험 엔진의 부하는 저, 중 및 고 부하(50, 75, 100%)로 나누어서 실시하였으며, 연료첨가제의 투입 전과 투입 후의 엔진성능(출력, 연료소비율, 최고연소압력(P-max), 배기온도)을 비교 분석 하였다. 본 실험을 통해서 연료첨가제를 투입함으로써 저부하(50%) 에서 2% 이상의 연료비 절감 효과를 확인 할 수 있었으며, 최고연소압력은 상승하는 반면에 배기온도는 하강함을 알 수 있었다.
