In order to investigate the effectiveness of methanol, which has high latent heat of evaporation and oxygen contents, for DI diesel engine performance and exhaust emission, the methanol was injected at the suction port of DI diesel engine. The injector used for test was conventional gasoline engine injector and controlled the quantity of methanol per cycle by the power supply controller which designed specially for injector. The results shown that the maximum pressure point was delayed, the value of maximum pressure was decreased, and the concentrations of both NOx and Soot were decreased, as the methanol injection quantity increased, and also the thermal efficiency of engine injected methanol under the high load condition was similar to no methanol injection but under the medium load condition was decreased within the experimental conditions.

이 논문에서는 디젤자동차용 LNT와 SCR 촉매의 NO, $NH_3$ 흡착 및 탈리의 기본 특성과 수열화 온도와 시간 및 정량화된 황피독 농도에 대한 de-$NO_x$ 촉매의 내구성을 평가하였다. LNT 촉매는 열적으로 열화됨에 따라 Pt 및 Ba의 소결 및 응집으로 활성이 떨어져 $NO_x$ 전환율은 감소하였다. 반면에 Pt의 비활성화로 중간생성물인 $NH_3$ 생성량은 증가하였으며, 이때 생성된 $NH_3$는 LNT+SCR 복합시스템의 SCR 촉매의 환원제 역할을 담당한다. 1.0 g/L 이상의 황이 피독된 LNT 촉매는 탈황을 하여도 질소 산화물 흡장물질(Ba) 의 성능이 회복이 되지 않아 $NO_x$ 전환율은 회복되지 않았으며, 탈황 후 Pt 재활성화로 인해 NO2 및 SCR 환원제인 $NH_3$ 생성량은 증가하였다. SCR 촉매의 $NO_x$ 전환율은 $700^{\circ}C$ 36h, $800^{\circ}C$ 24h로 수열화 시킨 촉매는 전이금속 입자 성장 및 zeolite 구조 파괴로 인하여 급격하게 떨어졌으며, 0.36 g/L 황 피독된 촉매는 zeolite가 가지는 강산성 특정으로 내피독성이 강하여 탈황시 $NO_x$ 전환율은 회복되었다.

Characteristics of premixed flames in counter-flow system are numerically studied using a detailed chemical reaction mechanism including gas phase radiation. Without radiation effect accounted, low CO and high NO$_{x}$ emission indices are observed, when strain rate decreases, due to increased residence time and higher flame temperature. Higher NO$_{2}$ production has been also observed when two premixed flames are interacting or cold air stream is mixed with burned gas. The rate of NO$_{x}$ production and destruction is dependent upon the diffusional strength of H and OH radicals, the existence of NO and the concentration of HO$_{2}$. For radiating flames, the peak temperature and NO$_{x}$ production rate decreases as the strain rate decreases. At high strain rate, it is found that the effect of radiation on flame is little due to its negligible radiating volume. It is also found that NO$_{x}$ production from the interacting premixed flame is reduced due to reduced temperature resulting from radiation heat loss. It is concluded that the radiation from gas has significant effect of flame structure and on emission characteristics.ristics.

Blending effects of hydrogen and water vapor on flame structure and NOx emission behavior are numerically studied with detailed chemistry in methane-air counterflow diffusion flames. The composition of fuel is systematically changed from pure methane and pure hydrogen to the blending fuels of methane-hydrogen-water vapor through the molar addition of $H_2O$. Flame structure is changed considerably for hydrogen-blending methane flames and hydrogen-blending methane flames diluted with water vapor in comparison to pure methane flame. These complicated changes of flame structures also affect NOx emission behavior considerably. The changes of thermal NO and Fenimore NO are analyzed for various combinations of the fuel composition. Importantly contributing reaction steps to thermal NO and Fenimore NO are addressed in pure methane, hydrogen-blending methane flames, and hydrogen-blending methane flames diluted with water vapor.

수소에너지는 화석연료 사용의 증가로 인한 환경오염 및 자원고갈의 문제점을 해결해 줄 수 있는 미래의 청정한 에너지이다. 현재 주 에너지원인 화석연료의 사용에 의하여 배출된 오염물질이 지구온난화와 같은 문제점들을 일으킨다. 이러한 문제점들을 없애줄 수 있는 대안 중 하나가 수소에너지이다. 수소에너지는 자원이 풍부하며 연소시에 오염물질이 배출되지 않는 장점이 있다. 수소에너지는 수소를 연소시켜서 얻는 에너지로써, 수소를 태우면 같은 무게의 가솔린 보다 3배나 많은 에너지를 방출한다. 수소를 생산하는 방법 중 가장 이상적인 방법은 물을 분해하는 방법이다. 그러나 이 방법은 수소를 대량으로 생산하기에는 아직 기술에 대한 확보가 되어있질 않으며, 경제성도 떨어진다는 단점이 있다. 현재 많이 쓰이는 방법 중 탄화수소류의 메탄을 수증기 개질하는 방법이 있다. 메탄 수증기 개질방법은 환경오염물질인 CO나 $CO_2$를 배출한다는 것과 높은 열원이 필요하다 본 연구에서는 C-H결합에너지가 낮아 메탄보다 분해하기 쉬운 부탄의 직접분해로 수소를 생산하고자 한다. 부탄 직접분해는 환경오염물질인 CO나 $CO_2$가 발생되지 않는 장점이 있다. 부탄 분해반응은 $500{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$의 범위에서 이루어 졌으며, 촉매는 탄소계인 카본블랙을 사용하였고, 촉매의 성능을 비교하기 위하여 열분해반응이 동시에 수행되었다.

The basic experiments for designing the effective gas turbine combustor were performed. There are several factors that define the characteristics of gas turbine combustor. Among them, experiment was focused on swirl effects by three types of swirler with different swirl numbers(0.0, 0.38, and 0.62). Particularly, an interest was concentrated on primary zone where the flame characteristics of total combustor was dominated strongly and secondary zone where the remaining unburned gas was reacted again or cooling effect was done according to degree of swirl intensity. For this study, following measurements have been carried out, that is, time mean and fluctuating temperature, exhaust gas composition including NO concentration, and ion current. From this study, it was found that swirl intensity affects largely not only flame style but also emission formation, furthermore that it is important to select proper swirl intensity.

In this research, numerical analysis was performed to determine the effects of hydrogen on biogas combustion for homogeneous charged compression ignition (HCCI) engines. The target engine specifications were a 2300cc displacement volume, 13:1 compression ratio, 15kW of electricity, and 1.2 bar boost pressure. The engine speed was fixed to 1800rpm. By varying the excess air ratio and hydrogen contents, the cylinder pressure, nitric oxide, and carbon dioxide were measured as a function of the hydrogen contents. According to preliminary studies related to the reaction mechanism for methane combustion and oxidation, a GRI 3.0 mechanism as the base mechanism was selected for HCCI combustion calculations describing the detailed reaction mechanism. By adding hydrogen, NO was increased while $CO_2$ was decreased. The cylinder pressure was also increased, having advanced timing for the maximum cylinder pressure and pressure rise region. Furthermore, lean operation limits were extended by adding hydrogen to the HCCI engine.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of an alternative fuel resource by incinerating a mix of combustible MSW (municipal solid waste) and offals after separating recyclable material at the MRF (material recovery facilities) location. We analyzed the physical and chemical properties including the 3-contents, the calorific value, and chemical compositions of the separation rejects in MRF, and compared the results with combustible MSW. Moreover, we experimented the trend of combustible properties and the concentration change of air pollutants at mixed incineration in the MSW incinerator. According to the results of the experiment, the separation rejects showed higher heating value (5,865 kcal/kg), and lower moisture and ash content than combustible MSW. Since we have incinerated MSW in the MSW incinerator mixing the offals at 30% and 50% respectively, we know that the change of the concentration of dust, $SO_2$, $NO_2$, and CO did not appear significant, and not exceed the pollutants emission regulation. But, considering the enhancement of the HCl emission concentration (max. 33.7 ppm) at the co-incineration of the 50% offals, we believe that the proper mixing ratio of the separation rejects would become within 30%.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the characteristics of chemiluminescence in a radiant burner, varying the excess air ratio from 0.91 to 1.67 at firing rate 80.5 to 134.2 kW/m2 on $OH^*,\;CH^*,\;{C_2}^*$ in LNG-Air premixed flames. The signals from electronically excited states of $OH^*,\;CH^*,\;{C_2}^*$ were detected using a Intensified Couple Charged Detector (ICCD) camera. The measurements of exhausted emission were made to investigate the correlation between chemiluminescence and emissions. The chemiluminescence intensity was increased with increase of firing rate like characteristics of $NO_x$ emission. $NO_x$ also increased with increase of firing rate and excess air ratio. It is found that offset of firing rate is more dominant excess air ratio $NO_x$ emission. The maximum chemiluminescence intensity occurs near the stoichiometric excess air ratio or lean conditions in case of high firing rate and the maximum intensity occurs rather than rich conditions in case of relatively low firing rate. Amount of $NO_x$ emission is maximum at near stoichiometric excess air ratio, which is chemiluminescence intensity is maximum.

In a conventional and lean operating engine, the state of mixture is very important in the combustion and emission characteristics. Lean operation is known to decrease the formation while maintaining a good fuel economy, but the unstable operation due to misfire and erratic combustion prevents engines from being operated at very lean mixtures, so both combustion rates and exhaust emission formation need to be satisfied comparably. In this study, it is designed and experimented the modified engine, and analyzed the combustion and exhaust emission according to the change of engine speed and with adding ozone. The conclusions were drawn out and enumerated as follows. 1. At the experimental result of automobile diesel engine, it has been verified that the formation of particulate matter(PM) gas is able to be lower with the addition of optimum quantities of ozone. 2. Carbon monoxide(CO) was formed by the lack of oxygen and the thermal dissociation in the combustion process. Therefore, with the change of swirl valve's position and addition of oxygen and ozone, CO formation was decreased by the increasing of excessive O2, but it was increased by the temperature of combustion gas growing higher. As a result of the two effects, CO formation was decreased in this study. 3. Hydrocarbon(HC) was formed by the lack of O2, and the flow of mixture in cylinder. According to opening of the swirl valve and adding the oxygen and ozone, hydrocarbon gas was decreased by 20%, 9%, and 27.5%, respectively. 4. Nitric oxides($NO_x$) was strongly affected by the combustion gas temperature. As a result of respectively experimental conditions, $NO_x$ formation was increased about 20% due to (be the) high(er) combustion gas temperature.
