The purpose of this paper is to determine the fuel change and weight change impact on the fuel economy and emission characteristic of ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicle. According to fuel type, fuel consumption and emission characteristics were measured and fuel used in this paper was gasoline, diesel, and LPG. Four vehicles with different weight were tested and the fuel economy were compared and analyzed by using scatter graph. Test was carried out using chassis dynamometer, CVS (Constant Volume Sampler), and emission measurement system. Diesel vehicle less emited $CO_2$ compared to gasoline and LPG. Even if same $CO_2$ between gasoline and LPG, there are difference fuel economy depending on carbon proportion of specific fuel. The heavier weight of vehicle, the worse of fuel economy and Better fuel economy performance on highway driving mode.

Whereas fuel economy of a vehicle is measured using a chassis dynamometer, that of construction machinery such as an excavator shall be presumably measured using simulated work cycle. In order to measure fuel consumption under a simulated work cycle, a measurement methodology, while excavator operates in dynamic(transient) motion, needs to be examined and developed. In this work, three methods (gravimetry, ECU CAN signal and mass flow meter) are studied and compared. This work reveals that when ECU CAN signal is properly calibrated and evaluated, compared to gravimetry or mass flowmeter, it could be used to measure fuel consumption with accuracy and thus for approval of the fuel economy of construction machinery.

Because of the low temperature operation, proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell has a water phase transition. Therefore, water management is an important operation issue in a PEM fuel cell because the liquid water in the fuel cell causes electrode flooding that can lower the cell performance under high current density conditions. In this study, in order to understand the reactant distributions in the cathode channels of the PEM fuel cell, an experimental technique that can measure the species concentrations of reactant gases by using gas chromatograph (GC) is applied for an operating PEM fuel cell. The oxygen distribution along the cathode flow channels of PEM fuel cell is mainly investigated with various operating conditions. Also, the relations between cathode flooding and oxygen concentrations and oxygen consumption pattern along the cathode channel configurations of the unit cell adopted for this study are discussed using GC measurement and visualization experiment of cathode flooding. It is found that the amount of oxygen consumption is very sensitive to various operating conditions of the fuel cell and was much affected by the flooding occurrence in cathode channels.

배출가스 및 이산화탄소 등 환경규제 강화와 에너지 고갈 문제는 기존의 내연기관, 동력전달장치, 소재 등의 성능 향상과 함께 대체에너지를 사용하는 자동차의 필요성이 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따라 수소연료전지자동차 등의 상용화가 요구되고 있다. 기존 자동차와는 패러다임이 전혀 다른 수소연료전지자동차는 현재 다양한 방향으로 연구 개발되고 있으므로 수소연료전지자동차 관련 평가기술 중 연료소비율 측정방법도 그에 따라 개발되고 진행되어야 할 것이나 현재 국내에 이와 관련한 체계적인 연구가 미미한 실정이며, 국제적인 표준도 현재 설정되어 있지 않은 상황이다. 따라서 현재까지 진행 중인 수소연료전지자동차 연료소비율 측정방법에 대한 기준 동향 및 연구 사례 조사를 통해 관련 연구 계획의 수립과 향후 수소연료전지자동차 연료소비율에 대한 평가기술 도출을 위한 기초 자료로 활용하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다.

효율적인 도로의 설계와 관리를 위해서는 도로건설의 경제성 분석이 중요하며 이를 위해서는 도로 상태별 차량별 유류소모량의 평가가 필요하다. 도로에서는 초기 건설비용, 유지보수비용, 차량운행비용, 지정체비용 등이 발생되는데, 도로의 경제성 분석을 위해서는 초기 건설비용, 유지보수비용 등과 같은 관리자비용과 차량운행비용, 지정체비용 등과 같은 이용자비용을 모두 포함한 사회적 비용이 고려되어야 한다. 이 중 차량운행비용은 교통량에 따라 그 비용이 변화되므로 차량운행비용 항목의 큰 부분을 차지하는 유류소모량 또한 교통량에 따라 변화하게 된다. 그런데 유류소모량은 차량의 주행속도 및 도로포장의 상태, 특히 평탄성에 따라 크게 변화되므로 도로의 경제성 분석을 위한 차량운행비용의 산정을 위해서는 주행차량에 대해 도로 상태에 따른 유류소모량을 평가하여 경제성 분석에 반영해야 할 필요가 있으나 아직 이를 고려하지 못하고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 운행되는 승용차에 대해서 도로 상태별 유류소모량 추정모델을 개발하였다. 우선 우리나라의 교통시설 투자평가 및 도로건설의 예비타당성 조사에서 차량운행비용 산정을 위해 사용되고 있는 주행속도와 유류소모량의 관계식을 고찰하고, 승용차를 대상으로 도로포장의 평탄성에 따른 유류소모량 변화의 관계를 실제 도로에서 실측하여 평탄성과 유류소모량 변화의 관계를 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 평탄성에 따른 유류소모량의 변화는 평탄성이 1m/km 증가하였을 경우 100km 주행시 약 $80m{\ell}$ 정도의 비율로 유류소모량이 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 도로의 설계 및 유지관리에 있어서 보다 정확한 경제성 분석을 수행하기 위해서는 도로포장의 평탄성에 따른 유류소모량 변화를 고려해야 할 필요가 있다.

A study of the propeny and performance effect of Indolene - Methanol Plus High Alcolhols (MPHA) has been completed. This study invested the measurement of fuel properties and performance parameters. The fuel properties investigated are distillation characteristics, heating valuer flash point, specific gravity and water tolerance. The performance parameters measured are minimum advance for best torque (MBT) spark timing, power output. The alcohol concentration was varied from 0 to 100 percent by volume in clear Indolene. The measurement of fuel properties indicated that, in general, Indolene - MPHA blends have higher water tolerance, similar specific gravity, similar flash point and different distillation characteristics compared to Indolene - Methanol blends. The performance parameters were measured using a single cylinder spark ignition engine at different compression ratios. The results of the performance measurements indicated that Indolene - MPHA blends have a higher MBT spark advance, similar power output.

The bow of the nuclear fuel assembly is a well-known phenomenon. One of the vital criteria during the history of nuclear fuel development has been fuel assembly's mechanical stability. Once present, the fuel assembly bow can lead to safety issues like excessive water gap and power redistribution or even incomplete rod insertion (IRI). The extensive bow can result in assembly handling and loading problems. This is why the fuel assembly's bow is one of the most often controlled geometrical factors during periodic fuel inspections for VVER when compared e.g. to on-site fuel rod gap measurements or other instrumental measurements performed on-site. Our proposed screening method uses existing video records for fuel inspection. We establish video frames normalization and aggregation for the purposes of bow measurement. The whole process is done by digital image processing algorithms which analyze rotations of video frames, extract angles whose source is the fuel set torsion, and reconstruct torsion schema. This approach provides results comparable to the commonly utilized method. We tested this new approach in real operation on 19 fuel assemblies with different campaign numbers and designs, where the average deviation from other methods was less than 2 % on average. Due to the fact, that the method has not yet been validated during full scale measurements of the fuel inspection, the preliminary results stand for that we recommend this method as a complementary part of standard bow measurement procedures to increase measurement robustness, lower time consumption and preserve or increase accuracy. After completed validation it is expected that the proposed method allows standalone fuel assembly bow measurements.

In a SI engine, three-way catalyst converter has the best efficiency when A/F ratio is near the stoichiometry. The feedback control using oxygen sensors in the commercial engine has limits caused by the system delays. So it is necessary to control fuel quantity in accordance with intake air amount in order to reduce exhaust emission and improve the specific fuel consumption. Precise A/F ratio control requires measurement of air amount with respect to the cylinder and injection fuel according to the air amount In this paper, we applied nonlinear fuel injection model and developed the algorithm of A/F ratio control. This algorithm includes the methods of measurement of transient air mass flowing into each cylinder, of calculation of injection pulse width for measured air mass, and the method of feedback and engine control by using lambda sensor. Also we developed control program for IBM-PC by using C++ Builder, and tested it in the commercial engine.

Fuel efficiency is one of the major issues in regard to energy and environment. As customers desire more comfortable vehicles, increase of accessory traction force is necessary. Air conditioning system (ACS) consumes the biggest traction force among accessories, especially during summer. This means ACS is the primary object deteriorating fuel economy among accessories. Since direct measurement of traction force and fuel consumption in practical vehicle is difficult, comparison analysis is taken between vehicle with and without ACS working. For this comparison, real time measurements are carried out to know ACS traction force and fuel consumption. As a result of the comparison, a vehicle without ACS operation was 15.92% superior to a vehicle with ACS operating. It could be used as a fundamental material for improvement ACS for better fuel efficiency.
