A mixture preparation strategy was proposed and evaluated in a diesel-natural gas dual-fuel engine to reduce hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions under low load conditions. An experimental investigation was conducted in a single-cylinder compression-ignition engine. Natural gas was supplied with air during the intake stroke, and diesel was injected directly into the combustion chamber during the compression stroke. First, effects of diesel start of energizing (SOE) and natural gas substitution ratio on the combustion and exhaust gas emissions were analyzed. Based on the results, the mixture preparation strategy was established. A low natural gas substitution ratio and a high exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate were effective in reducing the HC and CO emissions.

An inviscid axisymmetric model capable of predicting droplet bouncing and the detailed pre-impact motion, influenced by the ambient pressure, has been developed using boundary element method (BEM). Because most droplet impact simulations of previous studies assumed that a droplet was already in contact with the impacting substrate at the simulation start, the previous simulations could not accurately describe the effect of the gas compressed between a failing droplet and the impacting substrate. To properly account for the surrounding gas effect, an effect is made to release a droplet from a certain height. High gas pressures are computationally observed in the region between the droplet and the impact surface at instances just prior to impact. The current simulation shows that the droplet retains its spherical shape when the surface tension energy is dominant over the dissipative energy. When increasing the Weber number, the droplet surface structure is highly deformed due to the appearance of the capillary waves and, consequently, a pyramidal surface structure is formed; this phenomenon was verified with our experiment. Parametric studies using our model include the pre-impact behavior which varies as a function of the Weber number and the surrounding gas pressure.

Duplex Type의 2-유체 공기충돌형 Swirl 인젝터의 분무특성을 파악하고자 유체공급압력 0~13kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 범위에서 유량계수, 등가 분산각, 질량분포를 실험적으로 구하였다. 일반적으로 기체의 총 유량이 증가할수록 미립화는 촉진되나 반경방향 유량이 많은 경우에 분무형상은 비교적 안정적이었으며, 축방향 보다는 반경방향 선회기가 미립화에 미치는 영향이 컸다. 3kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$을 제외하고는 물 유량이 증가함에 따른 등가 분산각의 변화는 미소하였고, 기체의 유량증가도 마찬가지였다. Patternator를 사용한 질량 분포는 반경방향 기체유량이 증가함에 따라 분포곡선의 최대점은 낮아지면서 더 넓은 영역에 걸쳐 분포하였고, 물 유량의 증가에 따른 질량중심점의 위치는 변화가 없었다.

A vaporization model for single component fuel droplet has been developed for applying to sub- and supercritical conditions. This model can account for transient liquid heat ins and circulation effect inside the droplet, forced and natural convection, Stefan flow effect, real gas effect and ambient gas solubility into the liquid droplet in high-pressure conditions. Thermodynamic and transport properties are calculated as functions of temperature and pressure in both phases. Numerical calculations are carried out for several validation cases with the detailed experimental data. Numerical results confirm that this supercritical vaporization model is applicable to the high-pressure conditions encountered in the combustion processes of diesel engine.

The present study conducted computational simulation for multiphase flow in the flame spray coating process with commercially available Ni-Cr powders. The flows in a flame spray gun is characterized by very complex phenomena including combustion, turbulent flows, and convective and radiative heat transfer. In this study, we used a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code of Fluent (ver. 6.3.26) to predict gas dynamics involving combustion, gas and particle temperature distributions, and multi-dimensional particle trajectories with the use of the discrete phase model (DPM). We also examined the effect of particle size on the flame spray process. It was found that particle velocity and gas temperature decreased rapidly in the radial direction, and they were substantially affected by the particle size.

SCR(Selective Catalytic Reduction) is a major after-treatment solution to reduce NOx emission in recent diesel engines. In this study, a metal foam is applied as an alternative SCR substrate and tested in a commercial diesel engine to compared with a conventional ceramic SCR system. Basic engine test from ND-13 mode shows that a metal foam catalyst has lower NOx conversion efficiency than a ceramic catalyst especially over $350^{\circ}C$. A metal foam catalyst has characteristics of high exhaust gas pressure before a SCR catalyst and high heat transfer rate due to its material and structure. NOx conversion efficiency of a metal foam catalyst shows an increasing tendency along with the increase of exhaust gas temperature by $500^{\circ}C$. The effect of urea injection quantity variation is also remarkable only at high exhaust gas temperature.

The vaporization characteristics and spray combustion processes in the high-pressure environment are numerically investigated. This study employ the high-pressure vaporization model together with the state-of-art spray submodels. The present high-pressure vaporization model can account for transient liquid heating, circulation effect inside the droplet forced convection, Stefan flow effect, real gas effect and ambient gas solubility in the liquid droplets. Computations are carried out for the evaporating sprays, the evaporating and burning sprays, and the spray combustion processes of the turbocharged diesel engine. Numerical results indicate that the high-pressure effects are quite crucial for simulating the spray combustion processes including vaporization, spray dynamics, combustion, and pollutant formation.

The effects of EGR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation) on heavy-duty diesel engine performance, NO and soot emissions were numerically investigated using the modified KIVA-3V code. For the fuel spray, the atomization model based on the linear stability analysis and spray wall impingement model were developed for the KIVA-3V code. The Zeldovich mechanism for the formation of nitric oxide and the soot model suggested by Hiroyasu et al. were used to predict the diesel emissions. In this paper, the computational results of fuel spray, cylinder pressure, and emissions were compared with experimental data, and the optimum EGR rates were sought from the NO and soot emissions trade-off. The results showed that the EGR is effective in suppressing NO but the soot emission was increased considerably by EGR. Using cooled EGR, soot emission could be enhanced without worsening of NO.

This study was performed to reveal the relationships between various gas supply conditions including inlet numbers and positions for Photobioreactor. To do that, this study was installed the experimental apparatus. All experiments were performed for the cases with 1, 2, 3, and 4 inlets and for gas flow rate of 4~8 lpm. Through the experiments, this study showed that the case with 3 or 4 inlets could reduce about 50% of the pressure loss head for all gas path than that of one inlet base case. So, these results can be used as basic data to design the gross or multiple photobioreactor.

Using Spark Plasma Sintering process (SPS), consolidation behavior of gas atomized $Mg_{97}Zn_1Y_2$ alloys were investigated via examining the microstructure and evaluating the mechanical properties. In the atomized ahoy powders, fine $Mg_{12}YZn$ particles were homogeneously distributed in the ${\alpha}-Mg$ matrix. The phase distribution was maintained even after SPS at 723 K, although $Mg_{24}Y_5$ particles were newly precipitated by consolidating at 748 K. The density of the consolidated bulk Mg-Zn-Y alloy was $1.86g/cm^3$. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation were varied with the consolidation temperature.
