국내에서 사용되는 천연가스가 저열량화 되면서 발생할 수 있는 문제점에 대응하기 위해서는 국내 산업용 가스기기에 미칠 수 있는 문제점을 사전에 파악하고, 이를 기반으로 에너지의 효율적인 사용을 위한 대응방안이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 EURO-6 규제를 대응하는 희박연소방식의 천연가스 엔진을 이용할 경우, 저열량 가스의 도입으로 인한 엔진 출력성능과 효율의 저하 문제를 해결하기 위해, 실험을 토대로 한 구체적인 제어방안과 결과를 제시하고자 하였다. 전부하 운전조건인 1,400 rpm의 엔진 회전수에서 스로틀이 전부 개방된 전부하 조건과 정격운전조건의 엔진회전수인 2,100 rpm, 450 Nm의 토크 조건에서 점화시기로 대표되는 제어변수에 의한 개선효과 확인을 위해, 각 가스연료에 대해서 점화시기를 변경하여 열효율 및 배출가스특성을 파악하고 최적화하였다. 전부하조건에서 토크를 기준으로 가장 낮은 값을 보이는 순수메탄의 경우 기준 조건에서 약 2 CAD 정도 점화시기를 진각하면 NOx 배출의 큰 증가 없이 토크를 보상할 수 있다.

Engine oil plays an important role in the mechanical lubrication and cooling of a vehicle engine. Recently, engine development has focused on the adoption of gasoline direct injection (GDI) and turbocharging methodology to achieve high-power and high-speed performance. However, oil dilution is a problem for GDI engines. Oil dilution occurs owing to high-pressure fuel injection into the combustion chamber when the engine is cold. The chemical components of engine oil are currently developed to accommodate gasoline fuel; however, bio-alcohol mixtures have become a recent trend in fuel development. Bio-alcohol fuels are alternatives to fossil fuels that can reduce vehicle emissions levels and greenhouse gas pollution. Therefore, the chemical components of engine oil should be improved to accommodate bio-alcohol fuels. This study employs a 2.0 L turbo-gas direct injection (T-GDI) engine in an experiment that dilutes oil with fuel. The experiment utilizes a variety of fuels, including sub-octane gasoline fuel (E0) and a bio-alcohol fuel mixture (Ethanol E3~E7). The results show that the lowest amount of oil dilution occurs when using E3 fuel. Analyzing the diluted engine oil by measuring density and moisture with respect to kinematic viscosity shows that the lowest values of these parameters occur when testing E3 fuel. The reason is confirmed to influence the vapor pressure of the low concentration bio-alcohol-fuel mixture.

Concern for new and renewable energy is growing globally. Biogas is one of the alternative fuels and consists of methane and carbon dioxide. It is difficult to achieve efficient engine operation due to a lower heating value of biogas compared to that of natural gas. In order to improve generating efficiency, finding an optimum point of ignition timing and excess air ratio is important. From this fact, generating efficiency and pollutant emissions of 2300cc gas engine generator operated by biogas as functions of ignition timings and excess air ratios were investigated in this study. As a test result, the generating efficiency of the gas engine generator using biogas was 27.34 % in the condition of the BTDC of $16^{\circ}$ and the excess air ratio of 1.4.

As a rocket propellent of hydrocarbon fuels, the characteristics of liquefied natural gas was evaluated with the viewpoint of the constituents and content, the cooling performance as a coolant, and characteristic velocity and specific impulse as parameters of the engine performance. Content of methane was a principal factor to determine the characteristics as a rocket propellant and more than 90 % of it was needed as a fuel and coolant in the regenerative cooled liquid rocket engine. Some constituents of the liquefied natural gas can be frozen by the pre-cooling of the pipe lines, therefore they can be a factor disturbing the normal working of engine. In case the content of methane is around 90% in the liquefied natural gas, a normalized stoichiometric O/F mixture ratio of 0.75 is suggested for a nominal operation condition to get the maximum specific impulse and characteristic velocity.

최근 들어 유럽 및 미국을 중심으로 각광받고 있는 가스화 열병합 설비는 석탄이나 바이오매스, 폐기물로부터 지역의 전기 및 냉난방 에너지를 공급하는 중소형 규모의 에너지 시스템으로서 시장적 측면이나 기술적 측면에서 그 활용 가능성이 매우 밝은 것으로 예견되고 있다. 가스화로부터 얻어지는 합성가스는 일반적으로 가스엔진, 스털링 엔진, 마이크로 가스터빈 및 중소형 가스터빈 등이 원동기 연료로 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 가스화를 통한 합성가스는 일반적으로 LPG, CNG와 같은 고발열량 가스연료에 비해 발열량이 낮고, 반응성 및 화염속도도 매우 큰 차이를 보인다. 본 연구는 저발열량의 합성가스연료를 이용한 고효율 전소엔진 개발의 전 단계로서 60kW급 디젤혼소엔진을 개발하였다. 저발열량의 합성가스를 모사하기 위해 CNG에 질소를 희석한 연료를 사용하였으며, 디젤 연료 분사를 제어하기 위한 인젝터 드라이버 및 ECU를 적용하였다.

Natural gas is one of the most promising alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuels because of its high thermal efficiency and lower harmful emissions, including $CO_2$. Although the high octane value of natural gas increases engine output and efficiency due to the high compression ratio, this fuel is prone to such difficulties as a narrow limit of inflammability and a slow combustion speed in the lean burn operation domain, leading to unstable combustion and higher emissions of harmful exhaust gases. Hydrogen blended with natural gas can extend the lean burn limit while maintaining stable, efficient combustion and achieving lower NOx, hydrocarbon and green house gas emissions. In this study, the effect of hydrogen addition on an engine performance and NOx emission characteristics was investigated in a heavy duty natural gas engine. The results showed that thermal efficiency was increased and NOx emissions were reduced due to the expansion of lean operation range under stable operation. NOx emission can be significantly reduced with the retard of spark advance timing.

Gas turbine engine simulation in terms of transient, steady state performance and operational characteristics is complex work at the various engineering functions of aero engine manufacturers. Especially, efficiency of control system design and development in terms of cost, development period and technical relevance implies controlling diverse simulation and identification activities. The previous engine simulation has been accomplished within a limited analysis area such as fan, compressor, combustor, turbine, controller, etc. and this has resulted in improper engine performance and control characteristics because of limited interaction between analysis areas. In this paper, we propose a new simulation methodology for gas turbine engine performance analysis as well as its digital controller to solve difficulties as mentioned above. The novel method has particularities of (ⅰ) resulting in the integrated control simulation using almost every component/module analysis, (ⅱ) providing automated math model generation process of engine itself, various engine subsystems and control compensators/regulators, (ⅲ) presenting total sophisticated output results and easy understandable graphic display for a final user. We call this simulation system GT3GS (Gas Turbine 3D Graphic Simulator). GT3GS was built on both software and hardware technology for total simulation capable of high calculation flexibility as well as interface with real engine controller. All components in the simulator were implemented using COTS (Commercial Off the Shelf) modules. In addition, described here includes GT3GS main features and future works for better gas turbine engine simulation.

For a sequential port fuel injection natural gas engine, its combustion and emission characteristics at low loads are crucial to meet light duty vehicle emission regulations. Fuel injection timing is an important parameter related to the mixture formation in the cylinder. Its effect on the combustion and emission characteristics of a natural gas engine were investigated at 0.2 MPa brake mean effective pressure (BMEP)/2000 rpm and 0.26 MPa BMEP/1500 rpm. The results show that early fuel injection timing is beneficial to the reduction of the coefficient of variation (COV) of indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) under lean burn conditions and to extending the lean burn limits at the given loads. When relative air/fuel ratio is over 1.3, fuel injection timing has a relatively large effect on engine.out emissions. The levels of NOx emissions are more sensitive to the fuel injection timing at 0.26 MPa BMEP/1500 rpm. An early fuel injection timing under lean burn conditions can be used to control engine out NOx emissions.
