Recently, our world is faced with very serious and hard problems related to the air pollution due to the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. In this paper, the effect of oxygen component in fuel on the exhaust emissions has been investigated fur direct injection diesel engine. It was tested to estimate change of engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics for the commercial diesel fuel and oxygenate blended fuel which has three kinds of mixed ratio. And, it was tried to analyze not only total hydrocarbon but individual hydrocarbon components from Cl to C6 in exhaust gas using gas chromatography to seek the reason far remarkable reduction of smoke emission. This study was carried out by comparing the chromatogram with diesel fuel and diesel feel blended DGM(diethylene glycol dimethyl ether) 5%. The results of this study show that individual hydrocarbon(C1∼C6) as well as total hydrocarbon of oxygenated fuel is reduced remarkably than that of diesel fuel.

Diesel particulate trap is the most reliable system to reduce the particulate matters from diesel engine. Filter is the core component of DPF and ceramic monolith type is dominantly used, which is expensive and fragile relatively at thermal shock. Porous metal filter, which has superior thermal characteristics and low cost, was tested in order to analyze the regeneration performance by using with ferrocene additive. This filter showed the 72% filtration efficiency, additives itself diminished 48% of PM from engine out emission, and final PM reduction ratio of 89% was achieved by DPF system with D-13 test mode.

아산화질소($N_2O$, Nitrous Oxide)는 이산화탄소($CO_2$, Carbon Oxide), 메탄($CH_4$, Metane)이어 세 번째로 지구온난화에 기여하는 물질로 알려져 있다. $N_2O$의 지구온난화 계수는 대기 중에서 안정하고, 성층권에서 광분해 된 후 이차적인 오염의 원인이 되기 때문에 $CO_2$의 310배에 이른다. $N_2O$의 생성에 대한 조사는 보일러와 같은 연속적인 연소를 갖는 동력원에 대하여 몇몇의 연구자들에 의한 보고가 있었다. 하지만, 디젤엔진에 있어서 연료의 성분이 $N_2O$ 배출에 미치는 영향에 대한 조사는 실시되어지지 않은 상태이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 디젤엔진에서 연료 중에 질소와 황 농도에 의해 변화되는 $N_2O$ 배출율에 대하여 조사하였다. 실험에 사용한 엔진은 12kW/2400rpm의 4행정 직접분사식 디젤엔진이고, 실험엔진의 운전조건은 75% 부하에서 이루어졌다. 연료 중의 질소와 황 농도는 Pyridine, Indole, Quinoline, Pyrrol, Propionitrile, Di-tert-butyl-disulfide의 6 종류 첨가제를 사용하여 증가시켰다. 결과에 의하면, 질소성분 0.3% 이하를 갖는 디젤연료는 첨가제의 종류와 농도와 관계없이 $N_2O$ 배출률에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 하지만, 연료 중 황 첨가제의 증가는 배기가스 중의 $N_2O$ 농도를 증가시켰다.

The fuel system of a vehicle is a very important compotent, as it provides the firing resources to the combustion chamber of the engine. However, improper operation of the system can generate bad condition or start-off during engine revolution. This study analyzed several examples of failure that had originated in the field. In the first example, the driver operated a vehicle containing both gasoline and LPG in the fuel tank, but the gasoline fuel remained unused for a few months. Therefore the fuel pump was clogged because of gasoline congelation. The second example, dealt with fuel leakage that occurred from the slightly torn O-ring connecting the fuel lines. The third example, pertained to engine damage and power-down owing to the usage of proor-quality fuel and ingredient. Therefore, it is necessary to take adequate measures to prevent the failure of the fuel system of vehicle.

분산성이 우수한 carbon-slurry 연료의 제조와 특성 분석을 하였다. Carbon-slurry 연료는 액체연료(Jet A-1)와 탄소 입자 그리고 적당한 첨가제를 혼합하여 얻었다. Carbon-slurry 연료의 분산성은 교반 온도, 탄소 입자의 특성 그리고 첨가제의 양과 종류 등에 따라서 달라진다. 특히 첨가제의 종류가 slurry 연료의 안정성에 가장 중요하였다. 다양한 음이온성, 양이온성, 비이온성 형태의 첨가제를 사용하여 carbon-slurry 연료의 분산성을 분석하였고, 이 결과 나트륨 염의 형태를 가진 음이온성 첨가제를 사용하였을 경우 carbon-slurry 연료의 분산성이 가장 우수하였음을 확인하였다. Carbon-slurry 연료의 분산성은 빛이 투과되는 광도 값을 측정하여 분석하였다.

Conductive polymer composites with high electrical and mechanical properties are in demand for bipolar plates of phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFC). In this study, composites based on natural graphite/fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) and different ratios of carbon black are mixed and hot formed into bars. The overall content of natural graphite is replaced by carbon black (0.2 wt% to 3.0 wt%). It is found that the addition of carbon black reduces electrical resistivity and density. The density of composite materials added with carbon black 3.0 wt% is 2.168 g/㎤, which is 0.017 g/㎤ less than that of non-additive composites. In-plane electrical resistivity is 7.68 μΩm and through-plane electrical resistivity is 27.66 μΩm. Compared with non-additive composites, in-plane electrical resistivity decreases by 95.7 % and through-plane decreases by 95.9 %. Also, the bending strength is about 30 % improved when carbon black is added at 2.0 wt% compared to non-additive cases. The decrease of electrical resistivity of composites is estimated to stem from the carbon black, which is a conductive material located between melted FEP and acts a path for electrons; the increasing mechanical properties are estimated to result from carbon black filling up pores in the composites.

Dimethoxy methane$(CH_3-O-CH_2-O-CH_3)$, also known as methylal or DMM, is an oxygenated additive that contains 42.5% oxygen by weight and is soluble in diesel fuel. It is a colorless liquid and a gas-to-liquid chemical 방tat has been evaluated for use as a diesel fuel component. Experiments were conducted by using the five blends with different volumetric percentage of DMM(2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 12.5%) in baseline diesel fuel. The test engine was single cylinder, four stroke, DI diesel engine unmodified. Also, data was collected for steady state operation at 24 engine speed-load conditions. The focus of this study was to investigate the effects of the addition of oxygenated fuel to diesel fuel on the engine-out emissions and the performance. Smoke emissions of all DMM blends were reduced substantially in comparison with conventional diesel fuel. These results indicate that DMM may be an effective blendstock for diesel fuel as an environment-friendly alternative fuel. Besides, this study showed that simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx emissions could be achieved by oxygenated fuel and EGR method that was applied to decrease NOx emissions increasing with smoke emissions reduction.

Low fuel regression rate is the main drawback of hybrid rocket which should be overcome. One of the improvement techniques to this problem is usage of a solid fuel grain with a complicated geometry port, which has been promoted owing to the recent development of additive manufacturing technologies. In the design of a hybrid rocket fuel grain with a complicated geometry port, the understanding of fuel regression behavior is very important. Numerical investigations of fuel regression behavior requires a capturing method of solid fuel surface, i.e. gas-solid interface. In this study, level set method is employed as such a method and the preliminary numerical tool for capturing a hybrid rocket solid fuel surface is developed. At first, to test the adequacy of the numerical modeling, the simulation results for circular port are compared to the experimental results in open literature. The regression rates and oxidizer to fuel ratios show good agreements between the simulations and the experiments, after passing enough time. However, during the early period of combustion, there are the discrepancies between the simulations and the experiments, owing to transient phenomena. Second, the simulations of complicated geometry ports are demonstrated. In this preliminary step, a star shape is employed as complicated geometry of port. The slot number effect in star port is investigated. The regression rate decreases with increasing the slot number, except for the star port with many slots (8 slots) in the latter half of combustion. The oxidizer to fuel ratio increases with increasing the slot number.

Improvements in internal combustion engine and aftertreatment technologies are needed to meet future environmental quality goals. Plasmatron fuel converters provide a rapid response, compact means to transform a wide range of hydrocarbon fuels (including gasoline, natural gas and diesel fuel) into hydrogen-rich gas. Hydrogen-rich gas can be used as an additive to provide NOx reductions of more than 80% in diesel engine vehicles by enabling very lean operation or heavy exhaust engine recirculation. For diesel engines, use of compact plasmatron reformers to produce hydrogen-rich gas for the regeneration of NOx absorber/absorbers and particulate traps for diesel engine exhaust after-treatment could provide significant advantages. Recent tests of conversion of diesel fuel to hydrogen-rich gas using a low current plasmatron fuel converter with non-equilibrium plasma features are described.
