This study was carried out to develop a diesel engine for marine propulsion. This marine diesel engine was developed based on a 500Ps vehicle diesel engine. Many main parts, such as the intercooler, radiator, and engine controller were designed for the marine diesel engine. The intercooler was designed to be of sea water cooling type; inlet air is cooled by sea water. Engine coolant is cooled by sea water in the radiator too. The water cooling heat exchanger has high cooling performance. In the cooling system, consists of the intercooler and the radiator, the sea water passes through the intercooler and then the radiator, in sequence. This process is very effective compared to the reverse method in which sea water passes through the radiator and then the intercooler, in sequence. The control performance of the engine controller and the fuel injection rate were improved using an engine speed controller. This system was tested on an engine dynamometer and an exhaust gas analyzer using the marine diesel engine test method. Test results show that the 500Ps marine diesel engine satisfied the IMO NOx regulations; Tier II.

In this article we present a new, reference model based, unified strategy for engine control. Three main modes are considered: first is the driver control mode where the driver controls the engine via the pedal position; second is the dashpot mode, that is, when the driver takes his foot off the pedal; and, lastly is the idle speed control mode. These modes are unified so that seamless transitions between modes now becomes possible. The unification is achieved due to the introduction of a reference model for the engine speed whereby only the desired engine speed is different for different modes while the structure of the control system remains the same for all the modes. The scheme includes an observer that estimates unknown engine load torque. A proof of robustness with respect to unknown load disturbances both within the operating modes and during intermode transitions is given.

Spark knock obstructs any improvement in the efficiency and performance of an engine. As the knock mechanism of spark ignition engine, the detonation and the autoignition theory have been offered. In this paper, the knock model was established, which was able to predict the onset of knock and knock timing of spark ignition engine by the basis of autoignition theory. This model was a function of engine speed and equivalent air-fuel ratio. When this established knock model was tested from 1000rpm to 3000rpm of engine speed data, maximum error was crank angle 2 degrees between measured and predicted knock time. And the main results were as follows by the experimental analysis of spark knock in spark ignition engine. 1) Knock frequency was increased as engine speed increased. 2) Knock amplitude was increased as mass of end gas increased. 3) Knock frequency was occured above minimum 18% mass fraction of end gas.

The combustion characteristics of the D.I. diesel engine are largely dependent on the air-fuel ratio and the gas exchange process. The main factors are the shape of combustion chamber, fuel injection system, air flow inside the cylinder, intake air mass flow rate and so forth. Because these factors affect the combustion in a mutual and combined manner, it is very important to clearly understand the correlation of these factors in order to provide the combustion improvement plans. In this paper, we studied the performance and the gas exchange process of marine four-stroke engine using the engine cycle simulation. Also, we predicted briefly turbocharger engine matching.

Rattle noise occurs at manual transmission as idling and driving of a automotive. It can be solved by torsional characteristics of a clutch disc. A clutch disc consist of a region of pre-damper and main-damper. Rattle noise is affected by pre-damper and main-damper equipped for a torsional spring and friction washer. Pre-damper range covers noise radiating from manual transmission when engine is idling and main-damper range covers noise when engine is driving. The aim of this reserch is to clear transmission rattle noise by way of torsional characteristics of a clutch disc. The experiment is carried out as idling and driving of a automobile equipped for 1.5L MPI engine, dry single-disc type clutch and manual transmission. In this study, the results show for a vibration of manual transmission as idling and driving can be cleared by a clutch disc of Pre-damper type.

Multidimensional simulation has been carried out to be clear the role of initial combustion in a marine diesel engines on reduction of NOx and soot emissions by different pilot injection condition. Pilot injection can shorten the ignition delay, thus it reduces the premixed combustion phase. Since most NOx is formed during premixed combustion, pilot injections is one of reliable strategies to reduce the NOx. The formation of NOx consists of that formed by pilot injection and that formed by main injection. The result explains that 25-3-75 among the pilot injection conditions is effective to reduce the NOx, due to optimal combination pilot injection with main injection. The purpose of this study is to explain the characteristics of combustion with pilot injection of the marine diesel engine on reduction of exhaust emissions by examining the combustion process in a cylinder and to explore the formation mechanism of NOx between pilot injection and main injection.

A design method for web frame scantling on engine room structures was described. The parameters determining the scantling of web frame were studied on the basis of the empirical ship's data. It is found that the parameters determining the scanting of web frame consist of tween deck height, main engine and propeller excitation frequency, scantling draft, web frame spacing, the number of decks and main engine BHP etc. And a formula proposed by empirical ship's data was established in view points of static and dynamic structural behavior. In this study, it can be shown that at initial design stage, a method for web frame scantling of engine room structure is provided as very practical design processes.

An experimental study was conducted to evaluate characteristic variation of diluted engine oils in which contains diesel fuels and its tribological effects on engine components. In this study, diluted engine oils with $10\%,\;15\%,\;and\;20\%$ of initial fuel content rate have been used for measuring the viscosity reduction rate, blow-by gas increment rate, main gallery pressure reduction rate, and fuel content rate in engine oils. These parameters are strongly related to the tribological characteristics of key engine components. The kinematic viscosity of engine oils in which is contained by diesel fuels from $10\%\;to\;20\%$ in oils is decreasing to approximately $54\%$ of initial diluted fuel-oil volume ratios. The experimental results show that the distillated engine oil decrease the viscosity of engine oil and its oil film stiffness, and increase the wear rate of rubbing parts of engine components. Thus we recommend that the containing volume rate of fuels in engine oils should be restricted to $3\~4\%$ for a sophisticated Diesel engine and $5\~7\%$ for a standard one.

As an automobile fuel, LPG has many environmental advantages compared to gasoline or diesel. However, current LPG engine which is provided with LPG fuel as gas form has lower power and worse fuel efficiency than gasoline engine. These problems of low power and bad fuel efficiency come from lower volumetric efficiency. Also there is a new rising problem of high failure ratio in an engine emission test. Although there are many factors which affect engine performance of exhaust gas emission, one believes that the fact that ECM of gasoline engine is used for LPG engine when retrofitting gasoline engine to LPG engine is one of the main problems, which lower engine power and emit more noxious gas due to wrong ignition timing. To solve these problems, one studied the effects of ignition timing on the exhaust gas to find out the optimum condition of ignition timing. The experimental results show that noxious exhaust gas is reduced and engine power is increased if the optimum control of ignition timing is applied in accordance to the revolution speed of engine.
