HCCI engines take advantage of high compression ratio and heat release rate, they exhibit high efficiency in compression ignition engines. HCCI engines also utilize a lean air/fuel ratio resulting in low emissions of NOx and particulate matter(PM). The objective of this research is to determine the effects of EGR rate on the combustion processes of HCCI. For this purpose, a 4-cylinder, compression ignition engine was converted into a HCCI engine, and a heating device was installed to raise the temperature of the intake air and also to make it more consistent. In addition, a pressure sensor was inserted into each of the cylinders to investigate the differences in characteristics among the cylinders.

스크린 프린팅법을 이용하여 NOX 감지용 WO3 후막형 가스센서를 제조하였다. 본 실험에서는 감지막의 소성 온도에따른 감도변화 및 Ru을 첨가함으로써 감도의 증진을 중점적으로 조사하였다. 또한 NO2 50 ppm하에서 CO, H2, CH4 그리고 i-C4H10등의 가스에 대하여 cross sensitivity를 조사하였다. WO3 가스센서는 소성온도 50$0^{\circ}C$, 작동온도 30$0^{\circ}C$에서 최대감도를 얻었다. 순수한 WO3에 Ru(0.004 wt%)을 첨가시 NO2 및 NO 가스에 대한 감도가 크게 증진되었다. 그러나 순수한 WO3 센서는 Ru(0.004 wt%)이 첨가된 WO3 센서보다 더 우수한 cross sensitivity를 보였다.

In this paper, we fabricated and evaluated the gas sensor for the detection of CO gas and $NO_X$ gas among the vehicle exhaust emission gasses. The $SnO_2$ (tin dioxide) layer is used as the detection material, and the thin-film type and the nano-fiber type layers are deposited with various thicknesses using sputtering method and electro spinning method, respectively. The experiments are performed in the chamber where the gas concentration is controlled with mass flow controller. The fabricated devices are applied to the CO and $NO_X$ gas, where the device with the thinner $SnO_2$ layer shows better sensitivity. The nano-fiber has the larger surface area, and the shorter response time and recovery time are obtained. From the experimental results, both types of gas sensors successfully detect CO and $NO_X$ gases, which can be applied to measure those gases from the vehicle emissions.

본 연구는 $WO_3$ 박막과 $NiO-WO_3$ 박막을 고진공 저항가열식 thermal evaporation 법으로 (100) n형의 실리콘 단결정 기판 위에 증착시켰고, 막의 결정성 증진을 위하여 공기 중 $500^{\circ}C$에서 30분 동안 열처리하였다. 박막의 결정성 및 결정구조를 분석하기 위해서 X선 회절분석기를 사용하였고, 표면 및 단면 관찰을 위해서는 주사전자현미경을 이용하였다. 그리고 화학 조성 결합에너지는 XPS를 이용하였다. 순수 $WO_3$ 박막의 결정 크기는 $500^{\circ}C$에서 30분 동안 공기중 열처리에 의해서 $0.6{\mu}m$로 성장하였고 $WO_3$ 박막의 두께가 증가할수록 거의 변화 없이 일정하였다. 반면, NiO가 첨가된 $WO_3$ 박막 두께별 결정크기는 각각 $0.12{\mu}m,\;0.28{\mu}m,\;0.32{\mu}m$및 $0.43{\mu}m$로 순수 $WO_3$ 박막에 비해 치밀한 표면을 형성하였고, 최대 5배정도 성장이 억제되었다. 가스감도 측정은 대기 중에서의 센서 저항 값을 기준으로 측정가스 저항 값의 비율 $(R_{NOx}/R_{air})$로 가스감도를 나타내었다. 전기적 성질은 MFC로 NOx가스 5ppm을 일정히 유지시켰고, Multimeter로 계측하여 컴퓨터에 자동 계측되는 시스템을 사용하였다. 순수 $WO_3$박막보다는 $NiO-WO_3$ 박막이 우수한 NOx 감도특성을 보였고 센서의 작동온도는 $250^{\circ}C$에서 우수한 감도를 나타내었다.

In particular, gas sensors require characteristics such as high speed, sensitivity, and selectivity. In this study, we fabricated a $NO_X$ gas sensor by using a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/zinc oxide (ZnO) composite film. The fabricated MWCNT/ZnO gas sensor was then treated by a $450^{\circ}C$ temperature process to increase its detection sensitivity for NOx gas. We compared the detection characteristics of a ZnO film gas sensor, MWCNT film gas sensor, and the MWCNT/ZnO composited film gas sensor with and without the heat-treatment process. The fabricated gas sensors were used to detect $NO_X$ gas at different concentrations. The gas sensor absorbed $NO_X$ gas molecules, exhibiting increased sensitivity. The sensitivity of the gas sensor was increased by increasing the gas concentration. Additionally, while changing the temperature inside the chamber for the MWCNT/ZnO composite film gas sensor, we obtained its sensitivity for detecting $NO_X$ gas. Compared with ZnO, the MWCNT film gas sensor is excellent for detecting $NO_X$ gas. From the experimental results, we confirmed the enhanced gas sensor sensing mechanism. The increased effect by electronic interaction between the MWCNT and ZnO films contributes to the improved sensor performance.

Sn과 Zn 금속을 이용해 각각 산소와 아르곤 가스를 주입한 대기압 분위기에서 열처리를 통해 $SnO_2$와 ZnO 나노박막을 형성시켰다. 나노구조로 형성된 $SnO_2$ 박막의 경우 CO 가스(5,000 ppm)에 대해 $200^{\circ}C$의 동작온도에서 약 50 %의 감도를 나타내었으며, $SnO_2$ 나노 금속산화물에 Pt 금속을 이온 코팅법에 의해 첨가한 박막의 경우에는 동작온도 $150^{\circ}C$에서 73 %의 높은 감도를 얻을 수 있었다. 순수 ZnO 나노 박막의 경우 NOx(20 ppm) 가스에 대해 낮은 감도를 나타내었으나, Cu를 이온 코팅법에 의해 첨가한 박막의 경우에는 동작온도 $200^{\circ}C$에서 90 %의 높은 감도를 나타내었다. 나노 구조가 아닌 $SnO_2$와 ZnO 박막이 가지는 CO와 NOx에 대한 가스 감도에 비해 매우 높은 감도를 가짐을 알 수 있었다.

The control technique for an electronic engine is studied. For this study an IBM-PC and a throttle body fuel injection system are selected. The computer controls fuel injection, spark timing, exhaust gas recirculation and idle speed. Fuel injection is adjusted either by a feed back signal of a zirconia $O_{2}$ sensor or programmed logic for starting, deceleration, warm ing up and idle modes. When a 3-way catalytic converter is used with the electronic engine control system, CO, THC, and NOx were reduced more than 90% simultaneously.

In this project, we studied more accurate and reliable sensing method for oxygen in reheating furnace, made the empirical model for NOx concentration based on oxygen and evaluate the stability of the Tuneable Diode Laser (Absorption) Spectroscopy(TDL(A)S). The tested oxygen monitoring system is installed at work-field reheating furnace on hot roll at POSCO and compared with the Zr sensor system which shows too sensitive because it measures oxygen concentration on a spot unlike TDLS sensor which is successfully applied at 13m-width reheating furnace to measures the line average along the Optical Path Line(OPL).

In order to apply WO3 thin films to the semiconducting NOx gas sensors as a sensing material, which have been expected to show good electrical properties, such as large sensitivity, rapid responsibility, and high selectivity, the fabrication method and their sensing characteristics were studied. The variations of surface morphologies, crystallographic orientations and crystallinity with the WO3 thin film growing methods thermal evaporation and DC sputtering methods were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis. As a result of sensitivity (Rgas/Rair) measurements for the 5 ppm NO2 test gas, the sensitivity values were 113 for the sputtered films and 93 for the evaporated films. It was also observed that the recovery rate of a sensing signal after measuring sensitivity was faster in the sputtered films than in the evaporated films.

Recently, controlled auto ignition(CAI) in gasoline engines are drawing more attentions due to its extremely low level of NOx emissions and potentials in lowering the fuel consumption rate. The one of the key techniques for realizing CAI combustion in engines is the control of valve system. Since the valve linkage system with higher complexity, or even earn-less valve systems, such as electro-hydraulic and electro-magnetic system, are adopted in CAI engines, it is not easy to estimate the valve lift profile from earn profiles. Therefore new measurement techniques for valve lift in CAI engines have been tried and tested. In this paper, hole type valve lift sensor was developed and tested to check the applicability in CAI engines. The valve lifts could be obtained from the sensor signal, which depends on the distance from the sensor to magnet attached to valve. Various engine speeds, ranging from 2,000 to 6,000 rpm, and valve lifts, maximum up to 9.7 mm, were tested. It was found that the sensor output for valve lift had accuracy of 98% in comparison with the basic specifications of valve lift through improvements of sensor driving circuit.
