This study evaluates the effect of grooves on the stem part of a plunger on the lubrication characteristics of a fuel injection pump (FIP) by using hydrodynamic lubrication analysis. The current study uses the two-dimensional Reynolds equation to evaluate the changes in lubrication characteristics with variations in clearance, viscosity, and grooves for a laminar, incompressible, and unsteady state flow. This study investigates the lubrication characteristics by comparing the dimensionless minimum film thickness or the film parameter, which is the ratio of the minimum film thickness to surface roughness. The analysis method for the groove section differs depending on the depth of the groove. For instance, in the case of a shallow groove, the film thickness equation considers the depth of the groove, while in the case of a deep grove, it considers the flow continuity. The lubrication characteristics of the FIP are more sensitive to changes in the groove width than to changes in other design variables. Moreover, the application of a groove is more effective under low viscosity conditions. The smaller the distance from the edge of the stem part to the first groove in the case of shallow grooves, the better are the lubrication characteristics of the FIP. In contrast, in the case of deep grooves, the lubrication characteristics of the FIP improve as the distance increases. The application of shallow grooves is more effective for improving the lubrication characteristics than the application of deep grooves.

Cars are one of the main causes of air pollution in large cities, and 34.6% of domestic air pollution emissions come from mobile sources, of which cars account for 69.6%. In particular, the importance of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), which are major pollutants in diesel vehicles, is increasing due to their high contribution to emissions. Therefore, in this study, the problem of natural regeneration caused by low exhaust gas temperature during low speed and low load operation was solved by applying a complex regeneration DPF that is not affected by temperature conditions to large diesel vehicles with higher driving time and engine displacement than small and medium-sized vehicles. And the feasibility of application to large diesel vehicles was reviewed by measuring the emission reduction efficiency. As a result of the reduction efficiency test on the actual vehicle durability product, PM showed a reduction efficiency of 84% to 86%, and the reduction efficiency of gaseous substances showed a high reduction efficiency of over 90%. The actual vehicle applicability test was completed with three driving patterns: village bus vehicle, police car, and road-going construction equipment vehicle, and no device problems occurred until the end of the test. Both load and no-load smoke measurement results showed a smoke reduction efficiency of over 96%.

Numerical simulations and experiments have been carried out to investigate the effect of fuel injection nozzles on the combustion and NOx formation processes in a medium-speed marine diesel engine. Spray visualization experiment was performed in the constant-volume high-pressure chamber to verify the numerical results on the spray characteristics such as spray angle and spray tip penetration. Time-resolved spray behaviors were captured by high-speed digital camera and analyzed to extract the information on the spray parameters. Spray and combustion phenomena were examined numerically using FIRE code. Wave breakup and Zeldovich models were adopted to describe the atomization characteristics and NOx formation processes. Numerical results were verified with experimental data such as cylinder pressure, heat release rate and NOx emission. Finally, the effects of fuel injection nozzles on the engine performance were investigated numerically to find the optimum nozzle parameters such as fuel injection angle, nozzle hole diameter and number of nozzle holes. From this study, the optimum fuel injection nozzle (nozzle hole diameter, 0.32 mm, number of nozzle holes, 8 and fuel injection angle, $148^{\circ}$) was selected to reduce both the fuel consumption and NOx emission. The reason for this selection could be explained from the highest fuel-air mixing in the early phase of injection due to the longest spray tip penetration and the highest heat release rate after $19^{\circ}$ ATDC due to the increased injection duration.

Taking into account the increasingly stringent legislation on emissions from marine engines, this work aims to analyze several internal engine modifications to reduce $NO_x$ (nitrogen oxides) and other pollutants. To this end, a numerical model was employed to simulate the operation cycle and characterize the exhaust gas composition. After a preliminary validation process was carried out using experimental data from a four-stroke, medium-speed marine engine, the numerical model was employed to study the influence of several internal modifications, such as water addition from 0 to 100% water to fuel ratios, exhaust gas recirculation from 0 to 100% EGR rates, modification of the overlap timing from 60 to $120^{\circ}$, modification of the intake valve closing from 510 to $570^{\circ}$, and modification of the cooling water temperature from 70 to $90^{\circ}C$. $NO_x$ was reduced by nearly 100%. As expected, it was found that, by lowering the combustion temperature, there is a notable reduction in $NO_x$, but an increase in CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons) and consumption.

NOx, PN and CO emissions from diesel trucks make up a significant portion of domestic air pollutant emissions. Therefore, test vehicles with various emission standards and driving modes were selected to evaluate the emission characteristics of regulated pollutants (NOx, PN, CO) in medium-duty trucks. As a result of test, all test vehicles were satisfied with Euro 5 or 6 regulation. NOx emissions of Euro 6 vehicles with after-treatment of LNT + DPF were lower than those of Euro 5 vehicles with DPF. In WLTC mode, all vehicles have high NOx emissions at section of extra high speeds, which are determined by increased fuel consumption and high combustion temperatures. CO and PN emissions from all vehicles were found to be low at section of low speeds. Also, The NO₂/NOx ratio was analyzed at 7-23% in each mode, and the NO₂/NOx ratio increased as the average vehicle speed increased. In NIER 9 mode, the CO, HC, and PN emissions were higher under cold conditions of engine than hot conditions of engine. In addition, vehicles with after-treatment system of LNT have similar NOx emissions level in this study.

In Korea, Medium-duty trucks are classified into GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) 3.5~10tons. MDTs are mostly used for logistics or delivery between regions. There have been studied on diesel fuel vehicles for SUVs(Sports Utility Vehicle) or light-duty trucks. But MDTs have been not studied. Therefore, this study have been used MDTs for characteristic exhaust emission. Test was carried out using the certification test mode (NEDC, New European Driving cycle) and the NIER mode in chassis dynamometer of the MDTs. And emission gas was analyzed for PN (Particulate Number), PN size distribution and aldehydes, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons). This paper concluded that EURO-IV trucks produced more MSATs than EURO V trucks. Depending on the engine temperature, more MSATs were generated in cold temperature than in the hot start operation. However, the driving speed, the opposite results was obtained.

Marine Propulsion shafting system coupled with medium diesel engine forms multi-degree torsional vibration system which consist of many inertia masses such as crank, flywheel, propeller and sometimes gear system is adopted additionally for the purpose of improving propeller's propulsion efficiency or connecting with PTO/PTI. The periodic excitation torques generated by combustion pressure in cylinder and reciprocating masses induce various kinds of vibrations in this shafting system. If the frequency of this excitation torques is equal to the natural frequency of the shafting, the amplitude of the torsional vibration increases steeply and the damage of crankshaft or gears may be occurred by that. This frequency is called critical speed. When making a plan for shafting system, it is important for this frequency to be expected exactly and not to be in commonly used speed. For this reason, this paper introduces the experimental equipment for torsional vibration of marine propulsion shafting system and describes the theoretic and the experimental methods to look for natural frequencies.

본 논문은 주행거리 연장형 전기자동차에서 발전량을 결정하는 차량 제어기와 이를 수행하는 엔진 제어기 간 토크 명령을 전달하기 위한 새로운 통신방법을 설명한 것이다. 일반적으로 자동차는 CAN 통신방식을 사용하지만, 이 경우 기존 엔진 제어기의 하드웨어 및 소프프웨어를 수정해야만 한다. 이러한 이유로 중소 자동차 개조업체는 발전용 엔진이 탑재된 주행거리 연장형 전기자동차에 대한 개발 및 개조 작업 시 CAN통신방식의 적용이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 연구과정에서는 기존의 양산용 엔진 제어기를 주행거리 연장형 전기자동차에 적용하기 위한 핀-핀 통신방안를 제시하였다. 핀-핀 통신방안은 기존 양산용 엔진 제어기내에 탑재된 운전자요구토크 제어 맵을 엔진의 목표속도와 목표토크에 따른 가상 엑셀 열림량으로 변환하는 과정과 이를 기존 양산 엔진제어기가 인식 할 수 있도록 해당 엑셀페달 전압신호로 변환하는 과정으로 구성된다. 가상 엑셀 열림량은 오프라인 환경에서 역 변환 과정을 통하여 차량 최상위제어기에 제어 맵 형태로 탑재되고, 엔진 발전요구량과 엔진 최적 운전점 알고리즘을 통하여 결정된다. 이렇게 결정된 가상엑셀 열림량은 DA신호 변환기를 통하여 기존 엔진제어기가 인식할 수 있는 전압신호로 최종적으로 변환된다. 엔진토크 전달을 위한 이러한 알고리즘과 신호변환 회로는 차량제어기(VCU)에 탑재되어 엔진목표토크에 따른 가상엑셀페달 열림량 변환과정과 신호변환기를 이용한 가상 엑셀페달 전압신호에 대한 통신시험을 실시하여 이러한 통신방식의 실현 가능성을 입증하였다.
