Since the monolithic ceramic substrate was in introduced for automotive catalytic converters, the durability of the substrate has been a continuing requirement to reduce the emission, gas of vehicle. The substrate can occupy a volume as small as 82 $cm^3$ and as large as 8200 $cm^3$ to provide the required substrate for catalytic activity. The long-term durability varies with the size of the substrate from manufacture's point of view. Therefore this study presents that the response surface model using central composite design can explain size effect on the modulus of rupture in a cordierite ceramic monolithic substrate.

도심 도로변의 대기질은 주변의 고층 건물로 인한 거리 협곡으로 인하여 도시의 대기질에서 가장 빈번하게 기준을 초과하는 지역이다. 대부분의 대도시에서 고층 빌딩으로 구성된 도심 거리 협곡(urban street canyon)의 자동차에서 배출되는 대기오염물질은 운전자, 보행자, 도로변 작업자, 자동차 승객 등의 건강에 직접적으로 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 자동차 대기오염물질은 지표면에서 발생되기 때문에 거리 협곡은 배출원 인근의 대기오염물질 확산에 중요한 영향을 준다. 우선적으로, 거리 협곡은 협곡 상공에서 수직적인 혼합을 유도하게 된다. 둘째로, 거리 협곡의 형성은 협곡의 지형적 또는 물리적 경계 내의 오염물질을 정체시키게 되어, 협곡 상공으로 공기가 자유롭게 이동하여 오염물질을 수송하는 것을 지체시키는 경향이 있다.

Performance analysis and test of a 50kW micro gas turbine is carried out. The present study was initiated in 1996 by KIMM researchers to develope a 50kW class turbogenerator gas turbine engine for hybrid vehicle propulsion system. but with its low emission and compactness, it seemed that it can also be applied as a source of distributed power generation. In this study, general description of the KIMM's efforts to acquire performance test skills of the self-made 50kW micro gas turbine engine. At present, non-load performance test up to 615000 rpm was accomplished and is expected to make through 80,000 rpm by the end of year. Several revisions in design and manufacture were made during the course of experiments. The resulting outputs is thought to be valuable for the further refinement of the system for eventual commercialization of the product.

This paper discusses dynamic characteristics of a urea-SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system. The urea flow rate to improve NOx conversion efficiency is generally determined by parameters such as catalyst temperature and space velocity. The urea-SCR system was tested in the various engine operating conditions governing the raw NOx emission levels, space velocity. and SCR catalyst temperature. These experiments include cold-transients to determine catalyst light-off temperature and urea flow rate transients. Likewise. ammonia storage dynamics was also investigated. The cold-transient results indicate the light-off temperature of the catalysts used in these experiments was $200-220^{\circ}C$. The ammonia storage and urea flow rate transients all indicate very slow dynamics (on the order of seconds) which presents control challenges for mobile applications. The results presented in this paper should provide an excellent starting point in developing a functional in-vehicle urea-SCR system.

Performance of DI diesel engine with high fuel injection method is directly related to its emission characteristics and fuel consumption. In this study, numerical model of 3rd generation piezo-driven injector was designed to analyze the hydraulic performance. Also the injection response characteristics was investigated by using the AMESim simulation code. From this study, it was shown that 3rd generation piezo-driven injector had a faster response and had better control capability due to its hydraulic bypass-circuit that has potential to higher hydraulic characteristics and improved accuracy of injected fuel quantity.

The combustion characteristics of car components have been investigated, The combustion parameters like heat release rate, smoke production, yield of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and mass loss rate were analyzed by cone-calorimeter for representative samples (seat, carpet, headrest, rubber mat, dash board and electric wire) collected from a used car. The results from sample combustion showed that cover and sponge in seat more quickly ignited and flamed than other parts. The heat released from the combustion of dash board sample was 144.29$kw/m^2$ and the smoke produced by the wire combustion was 6896.4 $m^2/m^2$. The yields of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide were in the ranges of 1.09${\sim}$2.76 kg/kg and 0.0262${\sim}$0.1008 kg/kg, respectively.

Starting with the development of environmentally friendly electric controlled engine, sensors have played an increasing role in automotive technology. Electric power steering (EPS) systems are more and more replacing hydraulic systems. To improve fuel economy, the power assistance is provided by an electric drive. In this paper, development of a unique torque sensor for EPS is introduced. A capacitive type torque sensor is concluded to be suitable for EPS because its output is accurate, linear and robust against the variance of temperature, and patents have not applied so much.

This study was carried out to develop an engine for off-road vehicles especially for farm tractors using the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) which is known as a source of energy having good potential of substitute fuel for diesel engine because of its economical advantage and low pollutant materials after combustion. The study was focused on develop an engine of high in specific power output, low in specific fuel consumption and emission of pollutants. A series of teat was dope on the engine - various laboratory tests to analyze performance of the engine and actual field tests with the engine installed on a farm tractor as a power source.
