The gear shifting timing of a manual transmission vehicle is influencing fuel economy. This paper focuses on an gear shifting indicator of an city bus with manual transmission, which can improve fuel economy. The shift indicator is supposed to collect the vehicle data during driving, calculate and compare fuel economy with and without gear shifting, and indicate the proper gear shifting timing. The H/W and S/W of the shift indicator are developed and tested on city bus in this research. The experiments are carried out on real road by 3 different drivers and the results show the improvement of fuel economy from 6.0% to 21.4%. The average engine torque and speed are reduced due to early gear shifting and the usage of highest gear is increased. The results of chassis test are also performed and show 7.5% improvement of fuel economy.

항공기의 연료량 지시계는 비행동안 잔여 연료량을 시현해주는 장치로 비행 중에는 정상적으로 성능을 발휘해야 한다. 한국형 기동헬기 연료량 지시계는 비행 중에 결함코드 "8888"을 시현하여 잔여 연료량을 확인하지 못해 비행안전에 영향을 끼쳤으며 고장탐구과정에서 개발과정 시 미흡하게 설계된 EMI/EMC 성능을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서는 비행 중 결함코드를 시현하는 원인인 전자기 외란에 의한 전원 불안정 및 CAN 통신 오류를 확인하고 이와 연관된 연료시스템의 개선 및 설계 적합성을 입증하였다.

To study diesel fuel spray behavior, an experimental study was undertaken to investigate injection characteristics in vary ing back pressure and atomization mechanism in a non-evaporating diesel spray. Generally, injection characteristics is the curve of fuel flow plotted against time. The area under this curve is equal to the total quantity of fuel discharged for one injection. The method that measures rate of injection is long tube-type fuel rate indicator. Diesel spray injected into a quiescent gaseous environment under high pressure is observed by taking high speed camera by the focused shadow photographs. The results show that, at the start of injection, as the injected fuel rushes into the quiescent atmosphere the spray angle becomes large. Finally the spray stabilizes at a constant cone angle. Spray penetration length increases with the injection pressure.

Feasibility study of burn-up analysis and monitoring using delayed fast neutrons was investigated at Missouri University of Science and Technology Reactor (MSTR). Burnt and fresh fuel elements were used to collect delayed fast neutron data for different power levels. Total reactivity varied depending on the burn-up rate of fuel elements for each core configuration. The regulating rod worth was 2.07E-04 𝚫k/k/in and 1.95E-04 𝚫k/k/in for T121 and T122 core configurations at 11 inch, respectively. Delayed fast neutron spectrum of F1 (burnt) and F16 (fresh) fuel elements were analyzed further, and a strong correlation was observed between delayed fast neutron emission and burn-up. According to the analyzed peaks in burnt and fresh fuels, reactor power dependency was observed and it was determined that delayed neutron provided more reliable results at reactor powers of 50 kW and above.

본 논문에서는 IMO에서 논의 중인 운항선의 에너지효율지표에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. IMO의 온실가스 저감을 위한 정책방안을 살펴보고 그 중 운항선에 대한 에너지효율지표를 분석하였다. 화물량에 대한 연료소비율 산정방법을 이용하는 에너지효율지표를 실제 운항선에 적용하여 결과를 분석하고 문제점을 제기하였다. 이를 바탕으로 엔진 부하에 대한 연료소비율을 이용하는 개선된 에너지효율지표를 제시하고 운항선에 적용하였다. 결과를 통해 개선된 에너지효율지표가 운항선에 대해 합리적인 이산화탄소 배출률을 정의할 수 있다고 판단하였다.

To investigate the relation of $NO_x$ emission and consumption rate in a direct injection diesel engine with a multihole nozzle under same fuel consumption and rpm, a naphthyl ethylenediaming method on NO, emission and Tektronix oscilloscop on the indicator diagrams have been used. Comparisons of the $NO_x$ emission and fuel consumption rate made on various conditions have led to the fllowing results. 1. The higher the injection pressure in the later injection time the lower $NO_x$ emission and the fuel consumption rate have been attained. 2. By the change of nozzle hole diameter under the same injection pressure, the $NO_x$ emission was much more lowered in the small diameter than large one, but fuel consumption rate was in inverse proption to the $NO_x$ emission. 3. The effect of injection spray angle, $\frac{1_n}{d_n}$ on $NO_x$ emission, fuel consumption rate under same injection time and injection pressure was neglectable.

The vehicle label fuel economy is used as an energy management indicator nationwide. It induces technology development of automobile manufacturers and plays a role of providing information when purchasing a consumer vehicle. However, consumers who purchase a new vehicle continued to complain that the label fuel economy is different from the mandatory fuel economy rate. The domestic fuel economy measurement method is the same as the North American measurement method. The results of the two test modes (urban (FTP-75 mode), highway (HWFET mode)) are calculated in five test modes reflecting various environmental conditions and driving patterns 5-cycle correction formula is used which is equivalent to the fuel efficiency value. In this study, to solve the consumers' curiosity about the fuel economy of new vehicle, we use domestic fuel economy measurement method to measure the new car condition within 150 km of driving distance and the cumulative driving distance condition of domestic label fuel economy test vehicle. A comparative evaluation of fuel economy was carried out for a durability vehicle of $6,500{\pm}1,000km$. A result, mean value of the fuel economy of the four gasoline vehicles increased by 2.7 % in the city center mode and by 2.5 % in the highway mode in the durable vehicle compared new vehicle. And in the case of the diesel vehicle it increased by 2.5 % and 3.9 % respectively. The harmful exhaust gas emitted from the vehicle also resulted in more emissions of both gasoline and diesel vehicles in new vehicles. It is considered that the increase of the frictional force of the vehicle driving system and the lubricating oil system would have an effect on the reduction of the fuel economy of the new vehicle, and it was found that the fuel economy and the exhaust gas were improved by proper cumulative distance (domesticate) to the new vehicle.

The characteristics of the external radiation on the surface of the casks for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) storage by dry method are investigated for the case when the spatial distribution of SNF in the basket changes due to the destruction of the fuel rod claddings. The surface areas are determined, where the changes in fluxes of neutrons, produced by ²⁴⁴Cm actinide, and γ-quanta, produced by long-lived isotopes, are maximum in the result of the decrease in the height of the SNF area. Concrete (VSC-24) and metal (SC-21) casks are considered as examples. The procedure of periodic measurement of the dose rate of neutrons or γ-quanta at the specified points of the cask surface is proposed for identifying the fuel rod cladding destruction. Under normal operation, the decrease in the dose rate produced by neutrons as the function of SNF storage duration is determined by the half-life of ²⁴⁴Cm, and for γ-quanta - by the half-lives of long-lived SNF isotopes. Consequently, a stepwise change in the dose rate of neutrons or γ-quanta, detected by the measurements, as compared to the previous one, would indicate the destruction of the fuel rod claddings.

CPW(Co-Planer Waveguide) 전송선을 이용하여 자동차 연료 게이지 시스템인 전자식 연료 센더를 개발 제작하였다. 전송선 주위의 물질에 따라 전송선의 특성 임피던스가 변화되는 특성을 이용하였다. 자동차 연료통 속의 휘발유 혹은 경유의 높이에 따라 전송선의 특성 임피던스가 변화하면 반사량이 달라지므로 반사된 전압을 증폭함으로써 기존의 기계식 장치를 대체하는 시스템을 제작하였다. 브이(buoy)에 의한 부력과 연동된 저항 변화를 이용한 기존의 floating 방식이 갖는 기계식 작동 고장을 없애고, 유량 높이 오차를 줄이도록 하였다. 두께 1.6 mm의 Epoxy 기판에 CPW 전송 선로 및 제반 전자 장치를 구성하여 실측한 결과 기존 시스템에 비해 높이 오차가 적고 선형성이 우수한 특성을 보였다. 이 시스템은 PCB상 SMT로 제작되어 저가이면서도 양산성이 좋고 수명이 반영구적이어서 기존 시스템과의 경쟁력에서 우위를 보일 것으로 예상된다.
