This study was performed to investigate the behavior and spatial distribution of fuel mixtures with different wall angle and diameter of piston cavity in a DI gasoline engine. The spatial distribution of fuel mixtures after impingement of the spray against a piston cavity is one of the most important. factors for the stratification of fuel mixture. Thus, it is informative to understand in detail the behavior and spatial distribution of fuel mixtures after impingement in the cavity. Two dimensional spray fluorescence images of liquid and vapor phase were acquired to analyze the behavior and distribution of fuel mixtures inside cylinder by exciplex fluorescence method. The exciplex system of fluorobenzene/DEMA in non-fluorescing base fuel of hexane was employed. Cavity wall angle was defined as an exterior angle of piston cavity. Wall angles of the piston cavity were set to 30, 60 and 90 degrees, respectively. The spray impinges on the cavity and diffuses along the cavity wall by its momentum. In the case of 30 degrees, the rolling-up moved from the impinging location to the round and fuel-rich mixture distributed at periphery of cylinder. In the case of 60 and 90 degrees, the rolling-up recircurated in the cavity and fuel mixtures concentrated at center region. High concentrated fuel vapor phase was observed in the cavity with 90 degrees. From. present study, it was found that the desirable cavity wall angle with cavity diameter for stratification in a Dl gasoline engine was demonstrated.

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.

This study was investigated the estimation of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) emission from a gas station tank. To improve the atmosphere environmental quality near the gas station, the installation of vapor recovery system has been expanded recently. Therefore, it was necessary to calculate VOCs emissions from the gas station tank with vapor recovery systems for evaluation of their performance. The VOCs emissions are difficult to measure directly because of various sources and irregularly emission by pressure rise. In this study, VOCs emissions were estimated by simple calculation based on the equation of state for measured pressure, temperature and volume of a gasoline tank at a gas station. The result confirmed that the present national emission factor did not have significant discrepancy with the calculated value.

Hydrocarbons which are the main sources of VOCs from motor vehicles are emitted not only from the engine exhaust gas but also from evaporation of the fuel in storage and supplying systems. Evaporative emissions from gasoline fuel systems could be classified by diurnal, hotsoak and running loss. Diurnal loss test procedures are different as countries. Korea introduced new evaporative regulation in 2009 with 24hour VT-shed test procedure and relaxed emission standards. The estimations on different test procedures in this study show that the new Korean regulation get a little more severe than before and the 2 day diurnal loss test of U.S. is the most severe. So the test procedures as well as the stronger standards should be considered in the next evaporative emission regulation to reduce VOCs from motor vehicles. The important parameters to affect evaporative emissions are air and fuel temperature and fuel vapor pressure. Diurnal loss increases exponentially as rising air temperature and vapor pressure. The effects of vapor pressure on running loss are different as the capacities of canisters. Tests with simulating real temperature and driving conditions show that hydrocarbons in evaporative emissions could be more than those in exhaust gas in summer season because of the higher air temperature.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the liquid- and vapor-phase spray characteristics, such as spray tip penetration and spray angle using gasoline direct injection (GDI) injector with multi-hole. The vapor-phase spray was captured by the Schlieren visualization system, which consists of high-speed camera, LED lamp, concave mirrors, and knife-edge. The liquid-phase spray was visualized by Mie-scattering techniques. Both spray images of vapor- and liquid-phase were visualized under 373 K of ambient temperature, 1 bar of ambient pressure, and 100/200 bar of injection pressure. The energizing duration was fixed at 1.5 ms. From the analysis of experimental results, it revealed that the increased injection pressure induced an early vaporization due to the improvement of droplet atomization. The spray tip penetration and spray angle in vapor-phase were higher than those in liquid-phase. The difference in the spray tip penetration between vapor- and liquid-spray gradually increased with the time elapsed after the injection. Even with the spray angle characteristics, it was found that the difference between the spray angle of liquid and vapor spray gradually grew after they entered steady-state conditions.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is regarded as an alternative fuel for spark ignition engine due to similar or even higher octane number. In addition, LPG has better fuel characteristics including high vaporization characteristic and low carbon/hydrogen ratio leading to a reduction in carbon dioxide emission. Recently, development of LPG direct injection system started to improve performance of vehicles fuelled with LPG. However, spray characteristics of LPG were not well understood, which is should be known to develop injector for LPG direct injection engines. In this study, effects of operation condition including ambient pressure, temperature, and injection pressure on spray properties of n-butane were evaluated and compared to gasoline in a multi-hole injector. As general characteristics of both fuels, spray penetration becomes smaller with an increase of ambient pressure as well as a reduction in the injection pressure. However, it is found that evaporation of n-butane was faster compared to gasoline under all experimental condition. As a result, spray penetration of n-butane was shorter than that of gasoline. This result was due to higher vapor pressure and lower boiling point of n-butane. On the other hand, spray angle of both fuels do not vary much except under high ambient temperature conditions. Furthermore, spray shape of n-butane spray becomes completely different from that of gasoline at high ambient temperature conditions due to flash boiling of n-butane.

토양증기추출(Soil Vapor Extraction)법을 이용하여 대표적 휘발성 오염물질(VOCs)인 가솔린을 토양으로부터 제거하는 박스실험을 실시하였다. 아크릴수지로 제작된 65 cm${\times}$20 cm${\times}$30 cm 규모의 박스를 제작하여, 인공적인 토양 환경을 설정한 후, 직경 1 cm인 스테인레스 재질의 관에 0.2cm 간격으로 하부에서 15cm까지 스크린 된 스테인레스 재질의 주입정(2개)과 추출정(1개)을 설치하여 SVE를 실시하였으며, 추출정으로부터 배출되는 가스를 제거하는 후처리 공정을 연결하여 SVE로부터 배출되는 가스의 가솔린 농도와 후처리 공정 후 배출되는 가솔린 농도를 비교 분석하였다. 가솔린 100g을 토양 내 주입한 경우 0.03 L/min 조건의 박스실험에서는 SVE에 의해 약 560L (13일 경과) 가스 추출 후 주입된 가솔린의 95%가 제거되었으며, 주입 가솔린양이 250 g이고 추출 가스량이 0.2 L/min 조건에서는 약 1440L(5일 경과)가스 추출 후 주입 가솔린의 92% 이상이 제거되어, SVE가 토양 내 휘발성 오염물질을 제거하는데 매우 효과적인 방법임을 입증하였다. 가솔린으로 오염된 토양에서 SVE 공정으로부터 배출되는 가스를 과립상 활성탄 흡착탑과 바이오필터를 이용하여 제거하는 실험을 실시하였다. SVE로부터 배출된 가스의 후처리 공정으로 활성탄의 흡착탑을 이용한 제거 공정과 바이오필터를 이용한 제거 공정의 효율을, 후처리 공정으로 주입되는 가스내 가솔린량에 대한 운전 시간별 제거 효율로 나타내었다. 제거 효율은 후처리 공정에 주입되는 가솔린의 농도와 관계 없이 평균 94%의 높고 안정적인 효율을 나타내었고, 후처리 후 배출되는 가스의 농도 자체도 매우 낮게 나타남으로서, 실제 오염지역에서 토양증기추출법과 결합 된 하나의 VOCs 제거공정으로서 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 입증하였다. 활성탄 흡착탑과 바이오필터에 유입되는 가솔린의 부하량에 대한 제거 용량은, 주입되는 가솔린의 농도가 상당히 높음에도 불구하고 주입되는 가솔린의 농도가 높을수록 선형적으로 증가하였다. 이러한 결과들은 후처리 공정들이 SVE에서 배출되는 가스의 VOCs 농도가 다양한 환경에서도 광범위하게 적용할 수 있으며, 특히 고농도의 가스상을 처리하는 데에도 매우 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 입증한다.

본 연구는 가솔린 휘발가스를 퇴비 바이오필터로 처리시 공정조절 인자인 체류시간과 충전깊이의 영향을 살펴보고 공정개선방안을 제시하고자 실시하였다. 체류시간을 4, 10, 그리고 20분으로 변화하여 실시한 결과 TPH의 효율적 제거를 위해서는 10분이상의 EBRT가 요구되었으며 $40g/m^3$(충전물질)/hr 미만의 부하로 운전하는 것이 효과적이었다. BTEX는 체류시간 4분에서는 부하량이 약 $1.5g/m^3$(충전물질)/hr 이상으로 증가하자 더 이상 제거 능력이 증가하지 않았으며, 체류시간 10분에서는 약 $5.3g/m^3$(충전물질)/hr의 부하량에서 $4.5g/m^3$(충전물질)/hr 이상이 제거되었다. 이로써 안정적인 제거를 위해서는 BTEX도 10분 이상의 체류시간이 필요하였다. 충전깊이는 25, 50, 75, 그리고 100cm로 하였다. TPH 제거량을 증가시키기 위해서는 단순히 충전깊이를 증가시키는 것보다 가스체류시간 및 유입부하량 등 다른 공정인자들을 제어하는 것이 더욱 효과적이었다. BTEX의 경우에는 다른 공정인자의 조절도 중요하지만 충전깊이를 1m 정도로 하면 다른 공정인자의 조절에 큰 어려움 없이도 제거효율을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this research is to obtain the information of the development process of a vaporizing GDI spray using exciplex fluorecence method. Fluorobenzene/DEMA system was used as the exciplex-forming dopants. The 2-D spray images of liquid and vapor phases were acquired, and the behavior of both phases was analyzed by the image processing. The experiment was performed at the three different ambient perssures and the ambient temperature of 273K and 473K. As the result of this work, it was found that the development characteristics of GDI spray have stronger effect on the ambient pressure than on the ambient temperature. With an increase of ambient pressure, the distribution of vapor phase was decreased and the concentration of that was denser. Two regions, namely cone and mixing regions could be identified from those resulrs.
