지난 수년간 디젤엔진의 성능을 지배하는 인자를 도출하기 위한 많은 연구가 이루어 졌다. 디젤엔진의 배출물은 대기 환경오염의 주원인으로 많은 나라에서 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 디젤엔진의 매연 저감 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 이 새로운 시스템은 매연을 포집하기 위해 부압장치와 수분이 포함된 필터를 사용하였다. 새로운 시스템을 검증하기 위하여 디젤 차량의 실차 성능실험을 하였고, 그 결과 매연저감을 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 시스템다이내믹스를 활용하여 미세먼지 저감 정책이 미세먼지 농도와 건강에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 시스템다이내믹스는 미세먼지 발생원, 저감 정책, 미세먼지 농도, 건강영향 간의 동태적이며 순환적인 관계의 모델링을 구축할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 연구에서는 국내의 대표적 미세먼지 저감 정책인 산업부문 미세먼지 배출규제, 디젤차 규제, 전기차 확대, 공원·녹지면적 확대를 대상으로 정책 시나리오를 작성하여 현재 추세가 유지될 때와의 2030년 기준 결과를 비교하였다. 분석 결과, 전기차 지원정책은 0.21㎍/m³의 PM₁₀ 농도 저감과 494명의 순환기계 질환자 수 감소 효과가 있었으며 전국적으로 고르게 효과가 나타났다. 산업 배출량 규제 시나리오에서는 0.22㎍/m³의 가장 높은 PM₁₀ 농도가 감소하였으나 전기차 지원보다 적은 질환자 수 감소 효과(358명)가 나타났는데 이는 해당 정책이 충북 단양군, 부산 사하구 등 일부 공업지역을 중심으로 높은 미세먼지 저감 효과를 보였기 때문이다. 이러한 결과는 지역의 배출원 특성에 맞는 정책 선정의 필요성을 제시하였다.

As one of the alternative solution for energy and environmental issues such as climate change, energy security, oil price, etc., hydrogen energy has been getting so much attentions these days. This paper analyzed the $CO_2$ emission, costs, and energy consumptions when the hydrogen energy was introduced to transportation, specifically in Sedan sector using the energy system model, MARKAL. As results, 21.5% of $CO_2$ emission in 2040 could be reduced and additional 76 billion dollars will be needed in the high energy price scenario. The amount of energy saving mainly due to the replacement of existing car to hydrogen vehicle was 16% of the final energy consumption in 2040.

Southeast Asia is a strategic market for both technology and inspection system to enter simultaneously. At the core market is Vietnam which is know to have the fourth highest registration of motorcycles as of 2016. The Motorcycle Inspection System is a social regulation, furthermore, the impact of the system is delivered through indirect means such as minimization of social cost. Therefore, measurements on the perception of users on the needs for an inspection system serves as valuable data to simultaneously enter this markets. This research is an empirical study on the perception of Vietnamese users on the needs to adopt a motorcycle inspection system based on data collected through surveys and is aimed at conducting a preliminary investigation on consumer behavior in Vietnam. The empirical study conducted through surveys revealed that Vietnamese motorcycle users perceive the needs for an inspection system for maintenance, safe operations and selling used vehicles at a reasonable price. In addition, the study also verified that the safe operations factor has a moderating effect due to interaction between prevention of illegal vehicle and reduction of emission gases. This research results present implications in developing equipment adapted to the local area in order to enter into a strategic market. Moreover, it is expected that the findings will also serve as valuable data for bilateral cooperation between the two countries and the diffusion of technology.

Background: With volatile organic compounds (VOCs) containing aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, and xylene that can adversely affect the respiratory and cardiovascular systems when a certain concentration is reached, it is important to accurately evaluate the source and the corresponding health risk effects. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to provide scientific evidence for the city of Seoul's VOC reduction measures by confirming the risk of each VOC emission source. Methods: In 2020, 56 VOCs were measured and analyzed at one-hour intervals using an online flame ionization detector system (GC-FID) at two measuring stations in Seoul (Gangseo: GS, Bukhansan: BHS). The dominant emission source was identified using the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model, and health risk assessment was performed on the main components of VOCs related to the emission source. Results: Gasoline vapor and vehicle combustion gas are the main sources of emissions in GS, a residential area in the city center, and the main sources are solvent usage and aged VOCs in BHS, a greenbelt area. The risk index ranged from 0.01 to 0.02, which is lower than the standard of 1 for both GS and BHS, and was an acceptable level of 5.71×10^-7 to 2.58×10^-6 for carcinogenic risk. Conclusions: In order to reduce the level of carcinogenic risk to an acceptable safe level, it is necessary to improve and reduce the emission sources of vehicle combustion and solvent usage, and eco-car policies are judged to contribute to the reduction of combustion gas as well as providing a response to climate change.

This study investigates the aging characteristics of NOx storage and reduction(NSR) catalyst on the emission conditions of lean burn natural gas vehicles. We designed various NSR catalysts using by the double-layer washcoat technology to increase of a surface area and a thermal durability performance of the catalysts. The experiments were conducted with 3 kinds of the NSR catalysts, which were manufactured using by a honeycomb cordierite substrate. It was found that Ba is weak in the thermal aging because it has lower melting temperature than that of precious metals (PMs). The suitable loading amount of Ba in this study should be about 42 g/L from the results of the NOx adsorption and the NOx reduction efficiency. The major reason in deactivation of the NSR catalyst is the decrease of the adsorption site owing to the agglomeration and sintering of Ba rather than PM aging by hydrothermal aging. It was confirmed by results of BET, SEM and TEM.

Development trend of modern HSDI diesel engine is now focusing on low fuel consumption and emission because of strong interest in global environmental protection. Two big branches of criteria for modern diesel engine development are down sizing and down speeding. Down sizing keeps engine operation condition to the direction of higher load and thus pursuing for better thermal efficiency. But this may cause degraded vehicle dynamic performance because of reduced back up torque. Down speeding keeps engine operation condition to the direction of slightly higher load and lower engine speed. Therefore reduction of back up torque can be limited within flat torque area. This study analyzed fuel economy effect of down speeding on a vehicle powered by HSDI diesel engine in aspect of engine friction work, intake and exhaust pumping work, exhaust hat loss and thermal loss of fuel leakage of fuel injection system. Contribution factor of each engine and vehicle related parameters under basic and down speeding condition were compared and work balance of down speeding during NEDC was analyzed.

Currently, the automotive market is intensively researching eco-friendly vehicles such as EV vehicles and hydrogen vehicles. Further, research and developments for the future markets such as autonomous vehicles and the connective cars are coped up continuously along with the rising fuel economy regulations and the emission regulations. In this development, various sensors, batteries, and control devices are fused in order to decrease the weight of the vehicle. Moreover, since the fuel economy regulation is an issue, research on the weight reduction of body parts is underway. Therefore, in this work, a study is conducted to obtain the optimal design of the Dash part that separates the engine room and the passenger seat of the vehicle body by combining lightweight materials with high rigidity materials. The optimal design was obtained using the Finite Element Analysis. Further, AL5083 was used as the lightweight material and ASBC1470 was used for high strength materials. The parts made with this combination of materials had strength equivalent to that of the existing steel and the weight was reduced by 10%.

The recent interests in securing alternative resource have increased due to environmental issues and exhaustion of natural resources. The government notices production of recycled aggregate using waste concrete as the substitute of the natural aggregate. However, It's important to reduce environmental burden being inevitably made in the process producing recycled aggregate. In this study, the scenarios of transportation distance were set in the transportation phase of production of recycled aggregate. In addition, The possibility of emissions and reduction of carbon dioxide were studied depending on the scenarios. For this study, data about a amount of waste concrete, transportation distance, kind of vehicle, the number of required vehicle, fuel efficiency of vehicle and etc were gathered from 15 companies of intermediate treatment and 60 constructions sites located in Daegu city and Kyungpook area. Based on those data, fuel consumptions and $CO_2$ emissions according to the transportation scheme of waste concrete were calculated. As a result of the study, the emission of carbon dioxide was possible to be reduced by 27.8~75.4% depending on the scenarios of transportation distance.
