The formation process of hydrocarbon emissions was investigated in SI engine. The time- resolved concentrations of hydrocarbon emissions were measured using a high gas sampling valve and a gas chromatography. The gas was sampled at exhaust port, or the position of spark plug, or the wall of combustion chamber. The experiments were conducted using the Alpha engine of Hyundai Motor Company. The fuel used was methanol or propane. It was found that the effect of the quenching layer of combustion chamber wall on hydrocarbon emissions was not significant. The increasing rate of hydrocarbon concentration at combustion chamber wall near crevice and oil layer after flame was reached was much higher than that at the position of spark plug. The hydrocarbon concentrations at exhaust port had two peak values just after opening exhaust valve and just before closing it.

In order to reduce hydrocarbon emissions of spark ignition engine, it is important not only to improve catalyst conversion efficiency but also to reduce direct engine out hydrocarbon emissions, during cold starting and warm up process. Tjerefore many researchers have been attracted to develop an early fuel evaporator (EFE) by introducing a ceramic heater for a solution of engine out hydrocarbon emissions in SI engine. But, the performance of the EFE in MPI engine to reduce the exhaust emissions and to improve the cold startability has nat been clarified yet. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a glow plug for EFE.

Recently, temporal variations of the 3-micron emissions of methane and ethane have been detected in the auroral regions of Jupiter observed from Gemini North (Kim et al. 2019, in preparation). These temporal variations of 3-micron hydrocarbon emissions in the auroral regions can be caused by the following phenomena: temporal variations of temperatures, mixing ratios, auroral particle bombardments and Joule heatings, and the combinations of these. Although we are not able to quantitatively determine the cause of the temporal variations at this moment, we will present the following quantitative discussions: thermal influences on the 3-micron emissions, global mixing ratio distributions of the hydrocarbon molecules, and energy distributions of auroral particles penetrating the hydrocarbon layers. We will also present a possible correlation between the temporal variations of the 3-micron emissions and solar wind activities.

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. So, lots of researchers have studied to reduce the exhaust emissions with various methods of diesel engine that influenced the environment strong. In this paper, the quantities of the low and high hydrocarbon among the exhaust emissions in diesel engine have been investigated by the quantitative analysis of the hydrocarbon $C_1{\sim}C_6$ using the gas chromatography. This study carried out by comparing the chromatogram with diesel fuel and three kinds of mixed fuels. One is the diesel fuel blended DGM(diethylene glycol dimethyl ether) 5%. Another is the diesel fuel blended DEE(diethyl ether) 25% and DMC(dimethyl carbonate) 10%. The results of this study show that the hydrocarbon $C_1{\sim}C_6$ among the exhaust emissions of the mixed fuels are exhausted lower than those of the diesel fuel at the all load and speed.

Recently, Our planet is faced with very serious problems related to the air pollution due to the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. So, lots of researchers have studied to reduce the exhaust emissions of diesel engine that influenced the environment strong. But most researchers have mainly studied and suggested the solution of reduction on the total exhaust emissions of diesel engine. In this study, the quantities of the low and high hydrocarbon among the exhaust emissions in diesel engine have been investigated by the quantitative analysis of the hydrocarbon C1~C6 using the gas chromatography. This study carried out by comparing the chromatograms with diesel fuel and mixed fuel which are blended the diesel and DMC(dimethyl carbonate)that includes the oxygen of about 53%. The results of this study show that the hydrocarbon C1~C6 among the exhaust emissions of the mixed fuel are exhausted lower than those of the diesel fuel at the all load.

This study carried out by comparing the chromatogram with diesel fuel and diesel fuel blended DGM(diethylene glycol dimethyl ether) 5%. The results of this study show that the hydrocarbon $C_1\simC_6$ among the exhaust emissions of the mixed fuels are exhausted lower than those of the diesel fuel at the all load and speed. In particular, high boiling point hydrocarbons such as $C_5$ and $C_6$ were reduced remarkably in high speed and load region.

Because the exhaust emissions from automobiles are increased, our environment is faced with very serious problems related to the air pollution in these days. In particular, the exhaust emissions of diesel engine are recognized main cause which influenced environment strong. Lots of researcher have been attempted to develop various alternative fuel on purpose to reduce these harmful emissions. In this study, the potential possibility of esterfied rice bran oil which is a kind of biodiesel fuel was investigated as an alternative fuel for diesel engine. And, we tried to analysis not only total hydrocarbon but hydrocarbon components from $C_1$ to $C_6$ in exhaust gas using gas chromatography to seek the reason for remarkable reduction of exhaust emission. Individual hydrocarbon$(C_1\simC_6)$ as well as total hydrocarbon of biodiesel fuel is reduced remarkably than that of diesel fuel in this experiment.

A direct injection diesel engine with large amount of exhaust gas recirculation was used to investigate low temperature diesel combustion. Pilot injection strategy was adopted in low temperature diesel combustion to reduce high carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions. Combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions of low temperature diesel combustion under different pilot injection timings, pilot injection quantities and injection pressures were analyzed. Retarding pilot injection timing, increasing pilot injection quantity and higher injection pressure advanced main combustion timing and increased peak heat release rate of main combustion. As a result of these strategies, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions were reduced. Soot emission was slightly increased with retarded pilot injection timing while the effect of pilot injection on nitrogen oxides emission was negligible under low combustion temperature condition. Spatial distribution of fuel from the spray targeting visualization was also investigated to provide more insight into the reason for the reduction in carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions.

A model which calculates the hydrocarbon emissions from spark ignition engines is presented The model contains the formation of HC emissions due to both crevices around piston ring top land and oil films on the cylinder wall. The model also considers in-cylinder oxidation and exhaust port oxidation of desorbed HC from crevices and oil films after combustion process. The HC emissions model utilizes the results of SI engine cycle simulation. The model predicts well the trends of HC emissions from the engines when varying engine parameters.
