The turbofan engine performance analysis for a medium scale commercial aircraft was carried out and the LQR control scheme for performance optimization was studied. By using scaled component maps from well-known CF6 engine characteristics, the steady-state performance analysis result was compared with BR715-56 engine performance data. The transient performance analysis was performed with four fuel schedules. The linear simulation was done at the maximum take-off condition. The real time linear simulation was performed by interpolation of the system matrices, which used the least square method as the function of LPC rotational speed. By using linear system matrices of design point, the LQR controller which used control variables for the fuel flow and the LPC bleed air was designed.

The configuration of intake port is a dominant factor of inlet air flow and mixture formation in an engine. In this study, as an available technology to optimum intake port, the flow box system using resine has been applied. So we presents a methodology for estimating inlet flow characteristics in this paper. This quantified experimental result shows good agreements with visualization data in a cylinder. We obtained the optimal value of swirl ratio and flow coefficient under steady flow rig test for new development of intake port for heavy-duty engine. From this results, the cylinder heat with a good evaluated swirl flow characteristics was developed and adapted for a 11L heavy-duty engine using the liquid phase LPG injection (LPLi) system. This .research expects to clarify major factor that make the intake port efficiently.

Cycle-to-cycle variation has long been recognized as limiting the range of operating conditions of spark ignition engines, in particular, under lean and highly diluted operation conditions. At a part load, some of the cycles tend to knock, while others may have incomplete combustion by the time the exhaust valve opens. An experimental study has been performed in order to evaluate the relative contribution of several relevant parameters on the cyclic variability in spark ignition engines. In general, the stability of engine operation is improved with fuel injector according to the optimal injection timing, but the stability of engine operation at idle is not improved compared with a practical gasoline engine. In this study, we investigated the relationship of the effect of operating conditions for the stability at low speed and load.

This paper presents an approach to nonlinear engine idle controller and intake manifold absolute pressure(MAP) observer based on mean torque production model. A stable engine idle speed is important in that the unstable engine Idle mode can make engine to drooping or stall state. A sliding fuzzy controller has been designed to control engine idle speed under load disturbance. A sliding observer is also developed to estimate the intake manifold absolute pressure and compared with the actual MAP sensor value. The sliding mode observer has shown good robustness and good tracking performance. The inputs of sliding fuzzy controller are the errors of rpm and MAP. The output is a duty cycle(DC) for driving a idle speed control valve(ISCV).

A computer simulation has been developed to predict and investigate the performance of the assumed hydrogen engine. The simulation has be come a powerful tool as it saves time and also economical when compared to experimental study. The effects of various parameters, such as equivalent ratio, spark advance, revolutions per minute were calculated and then the optimal parameters of assumed engine were determined. The effects of spark advance, revolutions per minute, cylinder pressure, rate of pressure rise, flame temperature, rate of heat release, and mass fraction burned were simulated. The objective of the research paper is to develop a internal combustion model with hydrogen as a fuel.

Numerous researches have been conducted to investigate an optimal EGR rate which minimizes emission levels of NOx without increasing PM or loosing an engine power. In this research, the interrelation among engine parameters were intensively investigated and evaluated quantitatively, and proposed some directions in design of a heavy diesel engine by applying EGR and Oxygen-enriched system.

Optimal engine control is needed to cope with the global environmental regulations that are globally enforced. For optimum engine control, the electronic throttle control system (ETCS) is a prerequisite. Automotive makers are having an effect on reducing emissions and improving fuel economy by applying ETCS which is designed to secure stability. The ETCS controls the output of the throttle valve by passing the output value of the accelerator position sensor (APS) to the engine control unit (ECU). In this study, the authors investigated the safety standards of domestic and overseas accelerator control system and tried to understand how the air flow control affects the engine output by replacing the throttle. The authors suggest an improvement proposal of safety standard based on the result of driving evaluation by various modes.

Combustion and performance of a spark-ignition engine fueled with propane and butane were analyzed under different compression ratio. The electricity efficiencies of propane and butane increased with increasing the electricity production. The heat release rates of propane and butane were similar at a compression ratio of 9:1 because both fuels had similar optimal ignition timings without knocking combustion. Therefore, the difference in electricity efficiencies of engine generators was insignificant. However, at a higher compression ratio of 11:1, the butane engine generator had a lower electricity efficiency than the propane engine generator because its ignition timing retarded to suppress the knocking combustion.

In this study, based on a 12L class diesel engine, a natural gas-diesel dual fuel engine was developed by adding natural gas fuel supply system. For optimal control of dual fuel engine, a conventional diesel engine ECU and a dual fuel ECU were utilized. To convert the dual fuel engine, MPI natural gas injectors were installed on the new modified intake manifold adapter. As a results, the dual fuel engine showed same level of torque, power performance and exhaust gas emissions as those of a diesel base engine.. Furthermore, overall fuel replacement rate was 70~76 % and total fuel cost saving was 37~40%.

This paper has been proposed an engine oil changing system automatically using artificial intelligence. As you know, It is very difficult to forecast the time that exchange engine oil exactly. Because, It does not necessary to change the engine oil when color of engine is black or distance is more than 3000 km. In order to forecast to optimal engine oil replacement time, We must to consider color of engine oil, greasy, mad condition, quick starting condition and quick braking condition. Therefore, in this paper, to overcome those problems, we, developed an expert system that it can forecast to exchange time of engine oil automatically using fuzzy rules and neural networks.
