This paper presents an effective way of improving fuel consumption for a variable displacement engine. The improvement of fuel consumption can be accomplished by means of deactivating inlet and exhaust valves, reducing the number of effective cylinders of a four-cylinder gasoline engine that is mounted on a domestic compact automobile.

Redesign of the mounting system to minimize vibration of a variable displacement engine through computer simulation is considered. A three degree of freedom model is established for an in-line four-cylinder automobile engine with a three point mounting system. The engine mount locations and angles, and isolator sizes are chosen as design parameters. Constraints on isolator deformations and design parameters are imposed. The gradient projection method is utilized for optimization. Simulation studies show significant vibration reduction can be obtained especially at idling speed.

Variable displacement vane-type oil pumps represent one of the most innovative pump types for industrial applications, especially for engine lubrication systems. This paper deals with a modeling method for theoretical flow rate investigation of a typical variable displacement vane-type oil pump. This theoretical model is based on the pump geometric design and dynamic analyses. It can be considered as mandatory steps for a deeper understanding of the pump operation as well as for effectively implementing the pump control mechanisms to satisfy the urgent demands of engine lubrication systems. The developed pump model is finally illustrated by numerical simulations.

Variable displacement vane-type oil pumps represent one of the most innovative pump types for industrial applications, especially for engine lubrication systems. This paper presents a complete and accurate mathematical model for a typical variable displacement vane-type oil pump. Firstly, its theoretical model is revised. Secondly, an analysis of power loss factors of this pump type is carefully investigated to optimize the modeling accuracy. Finally, the estimated pump performance using the complete pump model is verified by numerical simulations in comparison with the practical tests.

The muffler which reduce the exhaust noise and vibration from engine influence on the engine performance. Recently, exhaust variable valve has set up in the muffler controls the backpressure in the exhaust system. And the backpressure variation according to the exhaust variable valve opening has developed the engine performance. First, the preceding of structural analysis is needed and simulation experiment is requested for the study on the design factor to influence on the operation of the exhaust variable valve. In this study, setting up the various variables according to each composition element needed for the structural analysis of the exhaust variable valve, it is experimented the analysis on the influence of each design factor with the calculation of stress distribution and the displacement to cause about the backpressure for the valve through parameter study.

Due to the distinct advantages of comfort, drive ability and fuel economy standard, the variable displacement swash plate type compressor which can control the compressor displacement by increasing or reducing the swash plate angle has been developed for automotive air-conditioning system. That can be obtained constant temperature of car room on the variation cooling capacities or engine speeds. This paper was carried out the analysis of swash plate behavior to obtain the forces and moments applied to the swash plate and to get the variable controlability on the variation of compressor speeds and swash plate chamber pressures. The results of simuation agree very well with the experimental data.

An electrical power generation system driven by main engine shaft, briefly SG system for middle or small size fishing boat is studied experimently. In the SG system, power transmission is performed by a variable displacement hydraulic pump driven by the main engine and a constant displacement hydraulic motor. It was verified that the SG system enabled the generation of electrical power with constant frequency regardless main engine speed. In the SG system, setting reference frequency, sensing generator output frequency and setting controller parameters are performed by performed by programming in a microcomputer, so a countermeasure for physical situations of control object is very easy. Futhermore, the SG system has following features; low initial installation cost, wide freedom of installation in engine room, advantage of application in existing ships, especially fishing boat with hydraulic fishing equipments.

The muffler reducing the exhaust noise and vibration from the engine influence on the engine performance. Recently the semi-active muffler was developed and adopted to the actual use in consideration of the cost and technical side for noise and vibration. This study is about the recently developed semi-active muffler. This paper attempt to analyze the dynamic stress field on the gate plate by using the finite element methods. According to the analysis of the Exhaust Variable Valve, its spring has the most influence on its operation compare with effects of other components. The design parameters of the Exhaust Variable Valve such as the spring displacement, diameter, coil number, free angle and so forth were used.

Automotive manufacturers are applying technologies for greenhouse gas reduction such as vehicle weight reduction, engine downsizing, direct injection technology, variable valves and transmission performance improvement to achieve the targets for enhanced greenhouse gas and fuel consumption efficiency. In this paper, compared and analyzed greenhouse emissions according to engine capacity, engine displacement, curb weight and sales volume of hybrid and internal combustion engine passenger vehicles. Hybrid emit 32~39% less greenhouse gas than internal combustion engines through the combined mode test method. Hybrid electric vehicle's curb weight was about 7% heavier on average for the same engine displacement, while greenhouse gas was about 36% lower. It was confirmed that in order to reduce the emission of pollutants of greenhouse gases as well as the air pollutants, it is necessary to expand the supply of eco-friendly vehicles.
