In this experimental study, we examined gas engine characteristics of a small high-speed engine in various ways. And we studied performance of natural gas, hydrogen gas and gasoline fuel engines, as emission characteristics and process of combustion. For the purpose of preventing back-fire occurred in case of high-speed and high load in hydrogen engine, we controlled air quantity by installing throttle valve in gas fuel engine. We performed experiment by mixing nitrogen to hydrogen fuel. As a result, we could find out characteristics which of a high speed small engine by applying gas fuels.

In late years, from a trend for ecology of auto motive engine, low emission and low fuel consumption of engine become a social assignment. At the same time, the high output (high efficiency) is required, too. In order to meet those requirements, in comparison with conventional engines, lean A/F (Air fuel ratio) setting is becoming popular for the high performance engines of late years. Exhaust valve seat (sintered material) used in these engines has a problem in wear resistance, because it is exposed to the surroundings that is clean and a high temperature in comparison with the conventional engines. Therefore, wear mechanism with lean A/F of engine was analyzed.The exhaust valve seat (sintered material), that was superior in wear resistance, was developed.

Turbine inlet temperature is steadily increasing to achieve high specific thrust and efficiency of gas turbine engines. Turbine cooling technology is essential to increase turbine inlet temperature. For this study, a small or medium sized aircraft engine of 10,000 lbf class with the turbine inlet temperature of $1,400^{\circ}C$, the engine overall pressure ratio of 32.2, and the bypass ratio of 5 was set as the baseline model and its performance analysis was performed at the design point. The engine has the performance of 10,013 lbf thrust and the specific fuel consumption of 0.362 lbm/hr/lbf. The thrust and the specific fuel consumption of the baseline model were compared with those of similar class engines. Based on these results, the turbine design requirements were assigned. In addition, the parametric analysis of the engine, related to aerodynamic and cooling design of the high pressure turbine, was performed. Based on the baseline model engine, the influence of turbine inlet temperature, cooling flow ratio, and high pressure turbine efficiency variations on the engine performance was analyzed.

In this paper, we proposed high performance packet forwarding engine for asynchronous transfer mode(ATM) based gigabit routers. The forwarding engine is based on ATM switch and accommodates four 622Mbps ports. The forwarding engine has been designed to be able to process the Intemet protocol(IP) packet at 2.5Gbps using the pipelined If header processing and lookup control mechanism. For high performance packet forwarding, we used content addressable memory(CAM) based routing coprocessor operating in hardware and implemented the pipelined lookup control function into a field programmable gate array(FPGA). The pipelined packet header processing mechanism enhanced the forwarding performance of the If packets ingressed from four different 622Mbps ports. Moreover, the If lookup controller designed to have the performance up to 12.5Mpps. The proposed forwarding engine is also designed to support differentiated services(DS) and multiprotocol label switching(MPLS).

The EGR system has been widely used to reduce nitrogen oxides (NO$\_$x/) emission, to improve fuel economy and suppress knock by using the characteristics of charge dilution. However, as the EGR rate at a given engine operating condition increases, the combustion instability increases. The combustion instability increases cyclic variations resulting in the deterioration of engine performance and emissions. Therefore, the optimum EGR rate should be carefully determined in order to obtain the better engine performance and emissions. An experimental study has been performed to investigate the effects of EGR on combustion stability, engine performance,70x and the other exhaust emissions from 1.5 liter gasoline engine. Operating conditions are selected from the test result of the high speed and high acceleration region of SFTP mode which generates more NO$\_$x/ and needs higher engine speed compared to FTP-75 (Federal Test Procedure) mode. Engine power, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions are measured with various EGR rate. Combustion stability is analyzed by examining the variation of indicated mean effective pressure (COV$\_$imep/) and the timings of maximum pressure (P$\_$max/) location using pressure sensor. Engine performance is analyzed by investigating engine power and maximum cylinder pressure and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC)

The ability of the engine starting performance of conventional ignition system being currently used in automobile gasoline engine is investigated, and the method of improving is discussed and experimented. The conventional ignition system cannot obtain high ignited voltage because its current is limited by decreasing of terminal voltage of battery at starting the engine also causes irregularity in the starting engine. This paper shows that problem can be improved practically by control of ignition energy properly according to the engine speed, consequently this experimental ignition system can eliminate to remarkable extent the function of the engine starting, and also enhance the performance of the engine at high speed.

The technology development of a high performance upper stage engine for a GEO(GEostationary Orbit) KSLV(Korea Space Launch Vehicle) is undergoing in Korea Aerospace Research Institute. KSLV is composed of an open cycle engine with gas generator, which is for a low orbit launch vehicle. However the future GEO launch vehicle requires a high performance upper stage engine with a high specific impulse. The staged combustion cycle engine is necessary for this mission. In this paper, current progress and future plan for staged combustion cycle engine development is described.

Development of an engine with good fuel economy is very important for successful implementation of long endurance miniature UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). In the study, a 4-stroke glow-plug engine was modified to a gasoline-fueled spark-ignition engine. Engine tests measuring performance and friction losses were conducted to tune a simulation program for performance prediction. It has been found that excessive friction losses are caused by insufficient lubrication at high speeds. The simulation program predicts that engine power and fuel economy get worse with high altitude due to increasing portion of friction losses. The simulation results suggest quantitative guidelines for further development of a practical engine.

Increasing Internet traffic and forwarding table size need high performance IP address lookup engine which is a crucial function of routers. For finding the longest matching prefix, trie-based or its variant schemes have been widely researched in software-based IP lookup. As a software router, we enhance the IP address lookup engine using GPU which is a device widely used in high performance applications. We propose a data structure for multibit trie to exploit GPU hardware efficiently. Also, we devise a novel scheme that the root subtrie is loaded on Shared Memory which is specialized for fast access in GPU. Since the root subtrie is accessed on every IP address lookup, its fast access improves the lookup performance. By means of the performance evaluation, our implemented GPU-based lookup engine shows 17~23 times better performance than CPU-based engine. Also, the fast access technique for the root subtrie gives 10% more improvement.

In order to analysis the possibility of high expansion and performance without backfire in a hydrogenfueled engine using external mixture injection, combustion characteristics and performance enhancement were analyzed in terms of retarding valve timing and increasing the boosting pressure. As the results, it was found that thermal efficiency increased by retarding intake valve timing with the same level of supplied energy is over 6.6% by the effect of high expansion including effect of combustion enhancement due to supercharging. It was also shown that the achievement of high power (equal to that of a gasoline engine), low brake specific fuel consumption and low emission (NOx of less than 16 ppm) without backfire in a hydrogen-fueled engine is possible around a boosting pressure of 1.5 bar, intake valve opening time of TDC and $\Phi$=0.35 in fuel-air equivalence ratio.
