In order to verify the feasibility of expansion of back-fire limit equivalence ratio in the hydrogen-fueled engine with external mixture, the characteristics of performance and combustion are experimentally analyzed with change of intake/exhaust valve timings under the fixed valve overlap period of $0^{\circ}$ CA(non-valve overlap period). These characteristics are also tested for the change of exhaust valve closing timing while intake valve opening timing is fixed to clear the main cause of back-fire occurrence. As the results, the less valve overlap period center is retarded, the more back-fire limit equivalence ratio increases and back-fire does not occurred after TDC. In addition, it was shown that the control of back-fire is dependent on intake valve opening timing than valve overlap period.

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) shows great potential for low $NO_x$ emission but is hampered by the problem of no direct method to control the combustion process. Therefore, HCCI combustion becomes unstable easily, especially at lower and higher engine load. This paper presents a method to achieve diesel-fueled HCCI combustion, which involves directly injecting diesel fuel into the cylinder before the piston arrives at top dead center in the exhaust stroke and adjusting the valve overlap duration to trap more high temperature residual gas in the cylinder. The combustion stability of diesel-fueled HCCI combustion and the effects of engine load, speed, and valve overlap on it are the main points of investigation. The results show that: diesel-fueled HCCI combustion has two-stage heat release rate (low temperature and high temperature heat release) and very low $NO_x$ emission, combustion stability of the HCCI engine is worse at lower load because of misfire and at higher load because of knock, the increase in engine speed aids combustion stability at lower load because the heat loss is reduced, and increasing negative valve overlap can increase in-cylinder temperature which aids combustion stability at lower load but harms it at higher load.

Residual gas fraction in an engine cylinder affects engine performance, efficiency and emission characteristics. With high residual gas fractions, a flame speed and maximum combustion temperature are decreased and these are deeply related with combustion stability especially at idle and NOx emission at relatively high engine load. In this work, the residual gas fraction was calculated by an engine simulation code, which was validated by the experimental data (cylinder pressure and emissions) obtained from 4-cyliner spark ignition engine. A comparison between experimental and computational calculation results was made. The residual gas is generated mostly at low engine speed by the larger pressure difference between the intake and exhaust port. As the valve overlap duration was increased, the amount of residual gas in the cylinder, the amount of HC emission in the exhaust gas and the variation of power output increased.

플랩제어시스템의 주요 구성품인 주제어밸브의 설계는 실제 제작 경험을 바탕으로 반복-오차 방법에 의존하여 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 모델 기반의 부품 설계 방법을 제안하였다. 플랩제어시스템은 주제어 밸브, 고장-안전 밸브, 솔레노이드 밸브, LVDT, 구동 모터 등으로 구성된다. 주제어밸브는 주로 스풀과 슬롯으로 구성된다. 주제어밸브의 중요한 설계변수는 슬롯의 폭 (Slot Width), 오버 랩(Overlap) 및 간극(Clearance)이다. AMESim을 활용하여 주 제어 밸브의 유로를 모델링하고 해석하였다. 제안된 설계절차를 적용한 결과 허용된 가공오차 범위 내에서 요구 성능을 충족함을 확인하였다.

This study is a structural analysis of 3" Cryogenic Safety Breakaway Coupling using a manufactured product from KLAW Company. Breakaway coupling is very important in the pipe system, especially when transporting fuel or gas in the pipeline. For the analysis of the patent infringement target, Dover and KLAW Company's technologies (US 08127785, EP 0764809) were analyzed. Finally, the flip-flap valve overlap was measured after combining the breakaway coupling through 3D modeling, and the valve overlap had a 0.7mm measurement value from the height gauge. The safety breakaway coupling consisted of a total of 62 pieces (body: 42, valve module: 21).

To enhance the reliability of a newly designed reciprocating compressor applied in a domestic compressor, accelerated life tests were developed using new definitions of the sample size and the $B_1$ life index. In $1^{st}$ accelerated life testing, the compressor was locked due to the fracture of the suction reed valve. The failure modes and mechanisms of the suction reed valve in the accelerated tests were found to be similar to that of the failed product in the field. The root cause of the failure was the overlap between the suction reed valve and the valve plate in the suction port. The missing parameters in the design phase were modified by expanding the trespan size, introducing tumbling process, changing the material and thickness for the valve, introducing a ball peening and brushing process for the valve plate. In $2^{nd}$ accelerated life testing, the compressor was locked due to the interference between the crank shaft and thrust washer. The corrective plan was to heat treat the crank shaft. The $B_1$ life of the compressor improved from 1.5 to 12.9 years.

밀러 사이클은 흡입밸브 닫힘 시기 조정을 통해 압축비를 줄임으로써 NOx의 저감과 연료소비율 개선이 동시에 가능하다는 점(밀러 효과)에서 디젤엔진에 매우 활발하게 채택되어지고 있다. 밀러 사이클은 흡입 밸브를 BDC 이전에 닫는 Early 밀러 방식과 BDC 이후에 닫는 Late 밀러 방식으로 나눌 수 있다. 저속에서는 체적효율의 증가를 꾀할 수 있는 Late Miller가 유리한 반면, 중속, 고속에서는 IVC 이후 BDC 까지의 피스톤 하강 과정의 흡기의 팽창에 따른 내부 온도 감소 효과 높은 Early 밀러가 유리하다. 따라서 Early 밀러와 Late 밀러의 효과를 고려하여 운전 조건에 적합한 밀러 구현 방법을 채택할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 4행정 엔진을 대상으로 2단 과급 시스템의 적용하고 흡·배기 밸브 오버랩(valve overlap)의 감소를 통해 밀러 효과를 강화하는 과정과 밸브 조정 기구를 통한 밸브 조건의 변화가 밀러 효과에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 결과적으로 2단과급과 밀러사이클, 밸브 오버랩 감소와 흡입밸브 리프트 증가를 통해 연료소 비율과 최고연소온도 감소의 효과를 확인하였다.
