Diesel engines have the highest brake thermal efficiency among internal combustion engines. Therefore, they are utilized in medium and large transportation vehicles requiring large amounts of power such as heavy trucks, ships, power generation systems, etc. However, diesel engines have a disadvantage of generating large quantities of nitrogen oxides during the combustion process. Therefore, the authors tried to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides in marine diesel engines using a wet-type exhaust gas cleaning system utilizing the undivided electrolyzed seawater method. In this method, electrolyzed seawater in injected into the harmful gas discharge from the diesel engine using real seawater. The authors investigated the reduction of NO and NOx from the pH value, available chlorine concentration, and the temperature of electrolyzed seawater. The results of this experiment indicated that when the electrolyzed seawater is acidic, the NO oxidation rate in the oxidation tower is higher than that when the electrolyzed seawater has a neutral pH. Likewise, the NO oxidation rate increased with the increase in concentration of chlorine. Further, it was confirmed that the electrolyzed seawater temperature had no effect on the NO oxidation rate. Thus, the NOx exhaust emission value produced by the diesel engine was reduced by means of electrolyzed seawater treatment.

The common rail diesel engine used in this study is a remanufactured waste engine. The fuel injection timing of the waste engine is set to be suitable for the operating conditions of the vehicle. However, the engine of a generator is operated at a constant speed and mainly at partial load. Therefore, it is necessary to change the fuel injection timing suitable for the power generation engine, and the cost and the time required for such change must be minimized as much as possible. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the fuel efficiency improves according to the fuel injection timing suitable for the engine for the generator, thereby increasing the performance and fuel efficiency.

Emission gas regulations and constantly increasing fuel costs call for the worldwide use of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient machines in industry. To meet these requirements, a hybrid excavator prototype has been developed that incorporates an electric swing motor, engine assist motor, and ultra-capacitor module into a conventional hydraulic excavator of the 22-ton class. This paper mainly describes a few techniques to optimize its energy efficiency. These include 1) controlling the engine speed in proportion to the load torque, 2) controlling the pump displacement when driving the electric swing system, 3) managing the ultra-capacitor voltage to minimize the electrical energy loss, and 4) reducing the cooling fan speed to improve the energy efficiency of the system.

Currently, there are many kinds of tracked armored vehicles in service and they have encountered various environment and situations. So there are many obstacles to operate them improperly such as an engine stall. The causes of engine stall are an insufficient fueling, a mixture of air-fuel or vapor lock, and load increment which results from a rapid steering or increasing a viscosity of lubricant by low temperature. In this paper, engine stall by load increment due to a rapid steering or increasing of lubricant viscosity on tracked armored vehicles is analyzed, the ways to prevent it are applied, and their degrees of improvement are evaluated.

In this research, through LCA analysis, the environmental impact of automotive engine manufacturing and re-manufacturing was analyzed from the perspective of the entire process, and the greenhouse gas reduction effect was calculated based on this. The amount of greenhouse gas emitted from the process of acquiring and manufacturing raw materials for automotive engines is about 3,473 kg for new manufacturing and 872 kg for re-manufacturing. Thus, the amount of greenhouse gas reduction by engaging in re-manufacturing is about 2,601 kg; the analysis shows a reduction effect in each part of the entire process except for the processing stage. As a result of the LCA weighted analysis, the environmental impact of new product manufacturing was found to be 1.07E+03 Eco-point, and it was 2.67E+02 Eco-point for re-manufacturing. The share of GWP(Global Warming Potential) among the six major impact categories(Abiotic Depletion Potential, Acidification Potential, Eutrophication Potential, Global Warming Potential, Ozone-layer Depletion Potential, Photochemical Oxidant Creation Potential) as high at 99.72%(new manufacturing) and 99.68%(re-manufacturing).

Recently, various research has been conducted on the use of a game engine instead of a commercial geographic information system (GIS) engine for the development of 3D GIS. The advantage of the 3D game engine is that it allows developers to develop various modules according to their abilities. In particular, in the area of disasters, a wide range of alternatives for prevention as well as prediction can be presented when new analyses are attempted by combining geographic information and disaster-related information. Furthermore, 3D analysis can be an important factor in analyzing the phenomena occurring in the real 3D world because of the nature of disasters. Therefore, in this study, we tried to develop a visualization module for flood disaster information through a 3D game engine by considering the solutions for cost and manpower problems and the degree of freedom of development. Raw flood data was mapped onto spatial information and interpolation was performed for the natural display of the mapped flood information. Furthermore, we developed a module that intuitively shows dangerous areas to users by generating cumulative information in order to display multidimensional information based on this information. The results of this study are expected to enable various flood information analyses as well as quick response and countermeasures to floods.

This paper describes the influence on engine main bearing behavior of the oil film when the fuel is diluted on a diesel engine equipped with DPF system. Oil film pressure and the thickness is calculated in accordance to the fuel dilution. The calculation is based on the numerical analysis of the engine main bearing. As a result, the engine oil viscosity decreased as the fuel dilution increased. This led the increment of the maximum oil thickness pressure. Verification of the minimum oil film thickness settlement by the engine gas pressure and the fuel dilution was confirmed. Destruction possibility of the engine main bearing was foreseen when the engine speed was 2000 rpm with the fuel dilution 15% and the 5W40 engine oil.

예부선 운항 시뮬레이션은, 선박 운항 시뮬레이션의 자선의 동적 거동의 모사 뿐만 아니라 예인줄 및 예인줄에 의해 영향을 받는 부선의 거동을 표현해야 하는 다른 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특성들을 시뮬레이션 가시화에 반영하기 위해 그래픽 렌더링 엔진과 같은 소프트웨어 뿐만 아니라 부선의 상태를 모니터링하기 위한 후방 가시화와 같은 하드웨어 구성을 제안하여 적용하였다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 기존의 연구들을 확장하여 예부선 전용의 시뮬레이션 가시화로의 응용에 대해 초점을 맞추고 있으며, 이를 통해 예부선 운항에 적합한 가시화의 구현 내용을 다루고자 한다. 이와 같은 하드웨어와 예부선 전용의 소프트웨어를 통해서 예부선 운항과 관련된 시뮬레이션이 시뮬레이터 사용자에게 직관적인 시뮬레이션 내용을 전달할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
