Several units of rapid compression-expansion machines were developed but the speed up of frequency of piston movement still is the problem to be improved to cope with actual speed of internal combustion engines. Authors designed and manufactured a new rapid compression-expansion machine electrically controlled hydraulically actuated and computer programed and then examined the performance of one. Results of a set of experiments revealed acquirements of certain improvement of frequency of piston movement preserving the stability of system response and reproducing accurate compression ratio of cylinder those are the key function for the in-cylinder combustion experiments of internal combustion engines.

Circumstances require improving diesel engine, and many studies have been done in constant volume chamber(CVC). Because the combustion mechanism of a diesel engine has many difficulties with non-homogeneous nature, there has been a limitation to analyzing the combustion mechanism with CVC. Studies are often given in a real engine, but also it has difficulties in modifying configuration of combustion chamber etc. To get more easy way for mote engine-like test, a rapid compression mechanism has been introduced. This study addresses to designing a rapid compression expansion machine(RCEM) driven by compressed air, and to applying it on IDI diesel combustion chamber which has a glow plug. RCEM is introduced first and its characteristics are tested, then spray/combustion characteristics of diesel spray impinging on a glow plug in RCEM combustion chamber are investigated. The results show active combustion in the system employing spray impinging on a glow plug so as to improve combustion efficiency.

Effect of heterogeneity of combustion chamber has been thought as one of the way to avoid dramatically generating heat in HCCI Combustion. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of heterogeneity, especially thermal stratification and fuel strength stratification on HCCI Combustion fueled with DME and n-Butane. Thermal stratification is formed in Combustion Chamber of Rapid Compression Machine with 3 Kinds of pre-mixture has different properties. The stratified charge mixture is adiabatic compressed and on that process, in cylinder gas pressure and two-dimensional chemiluminescence images are measured and analyzed.

A flywheel-driven rapid compression and expansion machine is developed and utilized for experimental study of homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion. Compression ignition of homogeneous charge in IC engines offers possibilities of realizing ultra-lean engine operation with greatly reduced NOx and particulate formation. Fundamental investigations are carried out in order to better understand this ideal engine combustion mechanism. Perfectly premixed propane-air mixtures of various equivalence ratio are compression-ignited in the rapid compression and expansion machine, and the characteristics of the auto-ignition and the following combustion process are analyzed.

The introduction of mixture heterogeneity has been considered to be one of the ways to avoid knocking, as it reduces the pressure rise rate in HCCI Combustion. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of heterogeneity, in particular thermal stratification and fuel strength stratification, on HCCI Combustion fueled with DME and n-Butane. Thermal stratification is formed in the Combustion Chamber of a Rapid Compression Machine with three kinds of pre-mixture, each with different properties. The stratified charge mixture was adiabatically compressed, throughout which cylinder gas pressure and two-dimensional chemiluminescence images were measured and analyzed.

This study presents both experimental and numerical investigation of ignition characteristics of n-heptane and n-butanol mixture. The $O_2$ concentration was fixed to 9-10% to make high exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) rate condition. Experiments were performed using a rapid compression machine. In addition, a numerical study of the ignition delay time was performed using CHEMKIN codes to validate experimental results and predict chemical species after combustion process. The results showed that the ignition delay time increased with increasing n-butanol ratio and the reactivity decreased by low $O_2$ concentration.

The HCCI engines have been known with high efficiency and low pollution and can be actualized as the new internal combustion engines. However, As for(??) the ignition and combustion depend strongly on the oxidation reaction of the fuel, so it is difficult to control auto-ignition timing and combustion duration. Purpose of this paper is creating the database for development of multi-dimensional simulation and investigating the influence of different molecular structure. In this research, the effect of n-heptane mole ratio in fuel (XnH) on the ignition delay from homogeneous charge compression ignition(HCCI) has been investigated experimentally. By varying the XnH, it was possible to ascertain whether or not XnH is the main resource of ignition delay. Additionally, the information on equivalence ratio for varying XnH was obtained. The tests were performed on a RCM (Rapid Compression Machine) fueled with n-heptane and iso-octane. The results showed that decreasing XnH (100, 30, 20, 10,0), the ignition delays of low temperature reaction (tL) and high temperature reaction (tH) is longer. And the temperature of reaction increases by about 30K. n-heptane partial equivalence ratio (fnH) affect on tL.and TL. When ${\phi}$nH was increased as a certain value, tL was decreased and TL was increased.

It is considered that automobile inner space is dangerous due to its combustion characteristics. (Automobile interior is largely made by plastic materials.) At last it is necessary to study on combustion characteristics of automobile interior. we could obtain its rapid combustion velocity and high smoke density by using ASTM D 2863 apparatus, DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), Smoke density apparatus and so on. The study is summerized by following conditions and results. 1. Sample size was 150mm(length)$\times$60mmwidth). 2. Combustion velocity appeared peak point in the 2cm point. 3. PVC and foam layers are important factors in the face of smoke density. 4. Using DSC, we obtained the point that automobile interior was melted. 5. Automobile interior should be improved because of its low L.O.I value and rapid flame propagation velocity.

The single droplet combustion characteristics of multicomponent fuel such as diesel-oxygenate and diesel-paraffin blends under high ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure were investigated in the study. The results of the study may be concluded as follows : In the combustion of diesel fuel droplet with additive of oxygenate and paraffin, the dimensionless droplet size of $(D/D_o)^2$ was linearly decreased with time. A fuel droplet with low boiling temperature additives and in high boiling temperature diesel fuel evaporates and burns faster than usual diesel fuel. This rapid burning may result from so-called "micro-explosion" and its burning intensity varies with the types of additives. The results above may suggest that rapid evaporation of oxygenate additive in the middle stage of combustion can contribute much to combustion improvement of blended fuels. When compared to ordinary diesel fuel, neat oxygenate and paraffin fuels show blue flame during entire combustion which prove smokeless combustion.
