EGR(Exhaust gas recirculation) provides an important contribution in achieving the development targets of low fuel consumption and low exhaust emission levels on gasoline engine for hybrid vehicles while allowing stoichiometric fuelling to be retained for applications using the three-way catalysts. However, the occurrence of excessive cyclic variation with high EGR normally prevents substantial fuel economy improvements from being achieved in practice. Therefore, the optimum EGR rate in gasoline engine for hybrid vehicles should be carefully determined in order to achieve low fuel consumption and low exhaust emission. In this study, 2 liters gasoline engine with E-EGR system was used to investigate the effects of EGR with optimum EGR rate on fuel economy, combustion stability, engine performance and exhaust emissions. As the engine load becomes higher, the optimum EGR rate tends to increase. The increase in engine load and reduction in engine speed make the fuel consumption better. The fuel consumption was improved by maximum 5.5% at low speed, high load operating condition. As the simulated EGR variation on a cylinder is increased, due to the increase in cyclic variation, the fuel consumption and emissions characteristics were deteriorated simultaneously. To achieve combustion stability without a penalty in fuel consumption and emissions, the cylinder-to-cylinder variations must be maintained under 10%.

A study on combustion characteristics using emulsified fuel in a diesel engine were performed experimentally. In this paper, the experiments were performed at engine speed 1800rpm, emulsion ratios were 0%, 10%, 20%, and main measured items were specific fuel consumption, cylinder pressure, rate of pressure rise, rate of heat release etc. The obtained conclusions were as follows. 1) Specific fuel consumption increased maximum by 19.8% at low load, but was not affected at full load. 2) Rate of pressure rise and rate of heat release were about the same in the case of 10% and 20% of emulsion ratio. 3) Cylinder Pressure increased 9.6%, rate of pressure rise increased 53.4% in case of emulsion ratio 20% at full load. 4) Rate of heat release increased 72.4% in case of emulsion ratio 20% at full load.

In this work, new multi-recycling options of TRU nuclides using PWR fuel assemblies comprised of MOX and FCM (Fully Ceramic Micro Encapsulated) fuels are suggested and neutronically analyzed. These options do not use a fully recycling of TRU but a partial recycling where TRUs from MOX fuels are recycled while the ones from FCM fuels are not recycled due to their high consumption rate resulted from high burnup. In particular, additional external TRU feed in MOX fuels for each cycle was considered to significantly increase the TRU consumption rate and the finally selected option is to use external TRU and enriched uranium feed as a makeup for the heavy metal consumption in MOX fuels. This hybrid external feeding of TRU and enriched uranium in MOX fuel was shown to be very effective in significantly increasing TRU consumption rate, maintaining long cycle length, and achieving negative void reactivity worth during recycling.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the performance of swirl combustion chamber diesel engine by changing the jet passage area, the depth and shape of the piston top cavity (main chamber). The performance of diesel engine with newly changed swirl combustion chamber was tested through the experimental conditions as engine speed, load and injection timing etc. The test results were compared and analyzed. And another purpose of this research is to make a new diesel engine that is satisfied fuel consumption and regulation value of exhaust gas. 1. The rate of fuel consumption was affected significantly by the jet passage area at the high speed and load than low speed and low load. The influence of jet passage large area was proven to decrease the rate of fuel consumption. 2. Smoke was affected significantly by the depth of the piston top cavity, but exhaust temperature and the rate of fuel consumption wasn't affected. The rate of fuel consumption was affected by changing injection timing. 3. The rate of fuel consumption, exhaust temperature and Smoke were affected significantly by the shape of the piston top cavity from rectangular to trapezoid. That is we have all high value. The exhaust smoke density and exhaust gas temperature depended sensitively on variation of the injection timing rather than the shape of the combustion chamber within the experimental conditions. 4. We made a new diesel engine that is satisfied design target values(sfc=190 g/hr, NOx + THC=6.0 g/KWh, PM=0.3 KWh), the rate of fuel consumption and emission standard etc., through changing injection timing at the maximum torque point and rated power point. Although we have a little high NOx value.

높은 차량운행비용(VOC : Vehicle Operating Cost)은 포장도로 복구작업의 주요한 원인이고, 차량운행비용(VOC)은 연료소모량, 오일소모량, 부품교체비용 등으로 구성된다. 이중 연료소모량이 VOC에서 차지하는 비중이 높고, 다른 도로조건에 비해 도로 표면 거칠기가 도로의 노화 정도를 대표적으로 지시하는 값이기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 포장도로의 표면 거칠기(IRI : International Roughness Index) 변화에 따른 차량의 연료소모량 변화를 측정하였다. 차량의 연료분사 인젝터의 전압변화를 측정하여 연료소모량을 계산하였고, 속도는 GPS센서를 사용하여 측정하였다. 본 실험 결과를 이용하여 IRI 변화에 대한 연료소모량의 변화율을 계산할 수 있었다. 계산 결과, 40~100km/h 속도영역에서 중형 및 대형 승용차의 연료소모량(L/100km)은 3.5m/km 정도의 IRI 수준에서 IRI(m/lm) 증가율의 7배 정도로 증가하였고, 60km/h의 속도에서 가장 연비가 우수하였다.

The effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on the characteristics of NOx emissions and specific fuel consumption rate have been investigated using an eight-cylinder. four cycle. direct injection diesel engine operating at several loads and speeds. The theoretical NO formation concentration is calculated with the equivalence ratio as a parameter of flame temperature to study the effect of EGR on NOx emissions in the diesel combustion. The experiments in this study are conducted on the fixed fuel injection timing of $38^{\circ}$ BTDC regardless of experimental conditions. It is found that the specific fuel consumption rate is slightly increased with EGR rate. and NOx emissions are markedly reduced owing to the drop of the incoming oxygen concentratio and the increase of equivalence ratio as the EGR rate increases.

The effects of fuel injection nozzle hole on the NOx emission and fuel oil consumption of medium speed diesel engine HYUNDAI HiMSEN 6H21/32 engine are investigated by engine performance simulation. The results of performance simulation are verified by experimental results of NOx omission fuel oil consumption, cylinder pressure, and heat release rate according to the variation of the number of fuel injection nozzle hole and engine load. The performance simulations are also carried out to optimize the fuel injection nozzle of 6H21/32 engine in respect to the NOx emission and fuel oil consumption. The engine performance measurements are performed to verify the results of performance simulation and to investigate the effects of fuel injection nozzle on engine performance. The results of measurement indicate that significant NOx reduction can be achieved with minimum deterioration in fuel oil consumption by optimizing the geometry of fuel injection nozzle on 6H21/32 engine.
