To determine the performance characteristics of motorcycle engine using biogas for practical use, the intake system of a 110 cc motorcycle engine is properly modified to operate with biogas as a fuel. Biogas is a potentially renewable fuel for replacing gasoline in future, but it has high percentage of $CO_2$ that could lead to slow the burning rate of biogas-air mixture and cause instability in combustion. Thus, the performance characteristics of biogas-fueled motorcycle engines could be different from those of gasoline motorcycle engines. In this paper, the important parameters of performance characteristics (such as: power output, thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, exhaust emission,${\cdots}$) of biogas-fueled motorcycle engine are studied and estimated with change of engine speed and load. The obtained results when operating with biogas are used to compare with that of gasoline fuel under the same operating conditions. Engine speed in the experimental is changed from 1500 rpm (idle-mode) up to 3500 rpm by a step of 500 rpm. Engine load is changed from zero to maximum load with the help of an exciting voltage device from generator-type dynamometer. The experimental results show that the tested engine operated with richer biogas-air mixture than that of gasoline-air mixture under the same test conditions. Biogas-fueled engine gives a higher fuel consumption and lower thermal efficiency under the same power output. Brake thermal efficiency of biogas engine is found to be about 3% lower than gasoline-fueled motorcycle engine for whole range of speed. Exhaust emission of biogas-fueled motorcycle engine (such as: CO, HC) is found to be lower than the limitation level of the emission standards of Vietnam for motorcycle engines (CO <4.5% HC <1200 ppm).

본 연구에서는 액체로켓엔진 산화제로 과산화수소를 사용하기 위한 공급 설비 구축 및 세척 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 과산화수소를 추진제로 사용하기 위해서는 90% 이상의 고농도 과산화수소가 필요하며, 고농도 과산화수소의 공급 설비는 약간의 오염에도 민감하게 반응하는 과산화수소의 특성상 오염을 최소화해야 한다. 과산화수소 공급 설비의 오염을 최소화하기 위하여 공급 설비를 세척하고 세척된 공급 설비에 보호막을 입히는 표면안정화 절차를 확립하였다. 또한, 구축된 공급 설비는 누설 시험과 연소 시험 및 저장성 테스트를 통하여 안정성을 검증하였다.

There are high expectations for DME(Dimethyl Ether) as a new alternative fuel for diesel engine. Compared with the conventional diesel engine, nearly zero soot emission and high thermal efficiency have been reported from DME fuelled CI engines. However, higher NOx emission is one of the disadvantages from DME Engines. In the present study, cooled EGR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation) was applied to DME engine modified from conventional Dl diesel engine, and effects of EGR were examined under various EGR temperature. Finally, it was concluded that the cooled EGR is an effective solution to reduce NOx emission from DME engine.

This paper describes the characteristics of n-Butane fuel for the homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine for a new concept. HCCI engines are being considered as a future alternative for diesel and gasoline engines. From the experimental observations, the effect of n-Butane fuel in HCCI engine on CO, HC and NOx are analysed. The objective of this paper is to clear the effects of equivalence ratio and inlet temperature with n-Butane on the HCCI. For this purpose, a 4-cylinder, compression ignition engine was converted into a HCCI engine This work has been run with n-butane fuel at a constant speed.

In this study, combustion experiments were conducted to assess engine performance and exhaust gas characteristics using four blends of 1-pentanol and diesel as fuel in a naturally aspirated 4-stroke diesel engine. The blending ratios of 1-pentanol were 5, 10, 15, and 20% by volume. The experiments were carried out under four different engine torque conditions (6, 8, 10, and 12 Nm) while maintaining a constant engine speed of 2,000 rpm for all fuel types. The results showed that the use of 1-pentanol/diesel blended fuel generally led to a decrease in brake thermal efficiency, attributed to the low calorific value of the blend and the cooling effect due to the latent heat of vaporization. Additionally, both brake specific energy consumption and brake specific fuel consumption increased. However, the use of the blended fuel resulted in a general decrease in NOx concentration, a decrease in CO concentration except some conditions, and a reduction in smoke opacity across all conditions.

Hydrogen fueled vehicle was evaluated as one of the next-generation technology that will be able to solve the global warming, depletion of fossil fuel and etc. The practical use of hydrogen fueled vehicle, nevertheless, is being delayed more than expected schedule due to various causes. In order to promote the dissemination of hydrogen fueled vehicle, development status and obstacle factors of practical use for hydrogen fueled vehicles were reviewed and the strategy plans for dissemination promotion were proposed. Hydrogen fueled vehicles are included the hydrogen fuel cell, neat and enriched hydrogen fueled engines. The technicalness, economy, safety, cognizance, system, support and etc were considered in the strategy plans.

A core engine for pre-cooled turbojet engines is designed and its component performances are examined both by CFD analyses and experiments. The engine is designed for a flight demonstration of precooled turbojet engine cycle. The engine uses gas hydrogen as fuel. The external boundary including measurement devices is set within $23cm{\times}23cm$ of rectangular cross section, in order to install the engine downstream of the air intake. The rotation speed is 80000 rpm at design point. Mixed flow compressor is selected to attain high pressure ratio and small diameter by single stage. Reverse type main combustor is selected to reduce the engine diameter and the rotating shaft length. The temperature at main combustor is determined by the temperature limit of non-cooled turbine. High loading turbine is designed to attain high pressure ratio by single stage. The firing test of the core engine is conducted using components of small pre-cooled turbojet engine. Gas hydrogen is injected into the main burner and hot gas is generated to drive the turbine. Air flow rate of the compressor can be modulated by a variable geometry exhaust nozzle, which is connected downstream of the core engine. As a result, 75% rotation speed is attained without hazardous vibration and heat damage. Aerodynamic performances of both compressor and turbine are obtained and evaluated independently.

연료의 사용으로 인한 이산화탄소의 발생량을 줄일 수 있는 방법으로 바이오가스 또는 매립가스와 같은 신재생 가스 연료를 사용하는 방법이 도움이 될 수 있다. 그러나 다량의 불활성가스가 포함되어 있기 때문에 저발열량 및 연료 조성의 불균일함은 신재생 가스 연료를 발전용 엔진에 적용하는 경우, 엔진 성능에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 신재생가스연료에 불활성가스가 엔진 연소가 불안정한 정도로 많이 포함된 경우에 수소 연료를 첨가함으로써 연소 안정성을 개선할 수 있음을 확인하고, 엔진의 열효율 및 배기 특성과 같은 성능 변화에 대하여 살펴보았다. 또한 같은 조건에서 엔진 효율 및 배기 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 길이가 긴 전극을 갖는 스파크 플러그를 적용하여 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

Free piston linear engine (FPLE) is a promising concept being explored in the mid-20th century. On the other hand, Arficial neural networks (ANNs) are non-linear computer algorithms and can model the behavior of complicated non-linear processes. Some researchers already studied this method to predict internal combustion engine characteristics. However, no investigation to predict the performance of a FPLE using ANN approach appears to have been published in the literature to date. In this study, the ability of an artificial neural network model, using a back propagation learning algorithm has been used to predict the in-cylinder pressure, frequency, maximum stroke length of a free piston linear engine. It is advised that, well-trained neural network models can provide fast and consistent results, making it an easy-to-use tool in preliminary studies for such thermal engineering problems.
