  • 1400cc급 발전용 엔진 트로틀 바디의 최적화 및 성능 향상을 위하여 유동해석을 수행하였다. 베르누이 정리를 기본으로, 성능을 발휘하는 주요 설계인자인 트로틀 바디 내부의 트로틀 밸브 각도 및 흡기부 곡률 등을 설계 변수로 유동해석을 수행하였다. 벤튜리관 흡입부의 곡률을 증가시켜 트로틀 바디에서 소모되는 흡기저항을 줄였다. 감소된 흡기저항은 펌핑로스를 저감하여 연비향상에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. 결과적으로 해석결과 분석을 통하여 최적화된 모델을 제시하였다.

  • It is essential for the valid design of a marine flow-control valve to exactly know its flow characteristics. The present study has numerically investigated the flow characteristics inside a marine throttle-type globe valve using a kind of commercial CFD code, CFX10.0, with an adoption of the SST (Shear-Stress Transport) turbulence model. To validate the numerical approach, the flow coefficients are compared with the experimental ones. Results show that the globe valve is effective in the control of flow rate according to the opening ratio in case of the forward-direction flow, whereas it is effective in the flow shutoff in case of the reverse-direction flow. Around the inlet of the valve, a recirculation region is formed due to the blunt body shape, the turbulence intensity becomes strengthened and then an abrupt pressure loss occurs.

  • One means of fulfilling $CO_2$ emission legislation is to downsize engines by boosting their power using turbochargers or mechanical superchargers. This reduces fuel consumption by decreasing the engine displacement. When a turbocharger, which is preferable to a mechanical supercharger in terms of fuel efficiency, is used, there is insufficient availability of exhaust gas energy at low engine speeds, resulting in an unfavorable engine response. Therefore, mechanically driven superchargers have increased in popularity due to their quick response to changing speeds in the transient phase. However, since a mechanical supercharger obtains its driving power from the engine, it is difficult to decrease its fuel consumption. This remains a large negative factor for superchargers, despite their excellent dynamic performance. This study aims to develop a power control concept to improve the fuel economy of a mechanical screw supercharger, which could then be used for engine downsizing.

  • In this paper, DF(Dual Fuel) Generator modeling, which uses both conventional diesel fuel and LNG fuel, has been performed and monitoring system has been developed based on MATLAB/SIMULINK for the development of PMS(Power Management System) HILS(Hardware In the Loop Simulation). The principal components modeling of DF Generator are DF engine which provides the mechanical power and synchronous generator which convert the mechanical power into electrical power. Submodels, such as throttle body, intake manifold, torque generation and mass of LNG and diesel Quantity are used to perform DF engine. Also, governor is used for load sharing between paralleled DF generators to share a total load that exceeds the capacity of a single generator. To verify modeling of DF Generator designated ship lumped load Simulation is carried out. A validity of DF Generator has been verified by comparison between simulation results and estimated result from the designated lumped load.

  • Drones can be manipulated in a variety of ways. One of the most common controller is joystick method. But joystick controller uses both hands and takes a long time to learn. Particularly, in the case of 8-character flight, it is necessary to use both front and rear flight (pitch), left and right flight (Roll), and body rotation (Yaw). Joystick controller has limitations to intuitively control it. In particular, when the main body rotates, the viewpoint of the forward direction is changed between the drones and the user, thereby causing a mental rotation problem in which the user must control the rotating state of the drones. Therefore, we developed a motion matching controller that matches the motion of the drones and the controller. That is, the movement of the drone and the movement of the controller are the same. In this study, we used a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor to map the controller's forward / backward, left / right and body rotation movements to drone's forward / backward, left / right, and rotational flight motion. The motor output is controlled by the throttle dial at the center of the controller. As the motions coincide with each other, it is expected that the first drone operator will be able to control more intuitively than the joystick manipulator with less learning.

  • Turbo- or Super-charging has been used to boost engine power for Gasoline- and Diesel Engine since beginning of 20th century. So far turbo-charger has enjoyed a high reputation in the charging field for its technical advantages such as no demand of operation power from engine and an excellent charging effect in a static operation at mid- and high engine speed. A mechanically driven super-charger, however, is now popular due to the high engine power at quick change of the driving mode - high engine torque even at low engine speed. Since super-charger needs operation power from engine, it is difficult to improve its relatively higher fuel consumption than that of turbo-charger. This negative point is still an obstacle to the wide use of supercharger. Super-charger using screw-type compressor will fulfill the purpose to reduce fuel consumption by minimizing operation power owing to no charge at idling or part load driving condition. This study aims to develop power control concept to achieve the minimization of operation power. A screw type super-charger was modified in design partially and installed with an internal bypass valve and a bypass tube to control charging pressure at part load. The various control concepts show a possibility to reduce operation power of super-charger.

  • Exhausting fossil fuel and increasing concern of air pollution have brought on the change of the focus of developing new vehicles from performance to fuel economy and emission. The gasoline engines adopting the naturally aspirated way use the throttle-body for engine load control. Therefore, its pumping loss increases more than that of the diesel engine, and also mostly operating in a partial load condition has bad influence on fuel economy and emission. In these days, the continuous variable valve timing system and variable induction system are adopted in order to improve fuel consumption and emission. In this study, we optimize the runner length and operate region of variable induction system to simulataneously improve the performance, fuel economy, and emission of gasoline engine with employing GT-Power as a CAE tool for engine analysis and PIAnO as PIDO tool for process integration and design optimization.

  • The study on the spray characteristics of TBI(Throttle Body Injection) injector has been carried out in this paper. The objective of this study is to improve the performance of TBI injector. The increase in the injection pressure and the utilization of assisted air are considered. The spray patten of TBI injector take the hollow-cone shape with $60^{\circ}~70^{\circ}$ spray angle regardless of injection pressure and injection pulse width. SAMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) of water in TBI injector are 510-$550{\mu}m$ and 310-$370{\mu}m$ respectively when injection pressures are $0.75 kgf/cm^{2}$ and $2.8 kgf/cm^{2}$. Then SMD of gasoline is estimated 380~$410{\mu}m$ and 230~$280{\mu}m$ respectively. The improvement of spray characteristics in TBI injector can be obtained with assisted air. If $W_{A}/W_{L}$ was over 0.2, SMD of water can be made under $50{\mu}m$.

  • Rotary dampers are damping devices which provide high resistance to shaft rotation. Rotary dampers are being used in various areas to enable the gentle opening and closing of the rotation motion relative to home furniture, industry machinery and automotive parts. Rotary dampers can be installed directly at the rotating point of a various part and can achieve uniform, gentle movement which increases quality and value of products. And generally, the silicone fluid is used as the damping medium because of its stable viscous properties. The movement of these little decelerators can be achieved with a high viscosity of working fluid and throttles installed in the body of the rotary damper. The damping force can be achieved clockwise, anti-clockwise or in both directions according to the structure of the orifices or throttles. In this paper, the torque performances of the rotary damper containing air in the working fluid were studied. For this purpose, the torque characteristic of the rotary damper according to the variation of various operating conditions such as clearance of leakage, dimensions of groove orifice, content ratio of air, etc., were simulated with AMEsim software.
