  • In order to investigate the characteristics of top ring groove deposit formation in diesel engine, engine test and simulation test were performed. From component analysis of used oils sampled from actual running engines, soot content in engine oil was selected as a main parameter for evaluating oil degradation. Deposit formation is highly related to soot content in lubricating oils. And high soot content oil accelerates deposit formation even in low temperature region below 26$0^{\circ}C$. In low temperature region below 26$0^{\circ}C$, deposit formation rate is mainly affected by top ring groove temperature. However, in high temperature region above 26$0^{\circ}C$, deposit formation rate is affected by soot content as well as top ring groove temperature. Therefore, soot content as well as top ring groove temperature should be kept a certain level in order to prevent troubles due to carbon deposit formation.

  • The wide open throttle performance and piston temperatures were measured by the change of fuel : gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas(LPG). Bench test method was developed and experimented to study the effect of temperature on the formation of carbon deposit. The bench test results were confirmed by measuring the piston temperature and observing the deposit production rate at an actual engine running condition. Results show that if the fuel of spark ignition engine is changed from gasoline to LPG, the output power decreases about 10% and the piston temperatures increase about 40~55$^{\circ}C$. In actual engine tests, because of this temperature increase, it was observed that the quantity of carbon deposit in the top ring groove increased in a big degree. Consuquently, it is known that the fing sticking may occur if the gasoline engine was rebuilt to LPG fuelled engine. Therefore, in order to preserve the durability of LPG fuelled engine, it is necessary to lower the piston temperature by hardware modificationor to reduce the carbon deposit by the improvement of engine oil.

  • New E-EGR valve design to suppress a carbon deposit causing a trouble in the valve by improving gas flow velocity is proposed. With CFD simulations of various shapes of valve disk and rod, the velocities and quantities of flowing fluid are observed. The proposed unique design of having round grooves on the disk head shows the improved performance of flow velocity about 10 % without sacrificing the flow quantity.

  • Lubricating oil supply system is an essential instrument for safe turbine operation. A lubricating condition may cause the abnormal vibration of turbine. In this paper we have discussed the abnormal vibration of turbine due to lubricating oil. Dusts of the air usually attach to end of the oil deflector and contact particles of the bearing oil. Dusts which were contacted particles of the bearing oil were changed into carbon deposit because of high temperature. therefore, carbon deposits occur abnormal vibration of the turbine when they contact a rotor. So, we have solved this problems through the various maintenance.

  • In a previous report, the properties of vegetable oils as diesel fuel substitutes were investigated and the basic load performance of a diesel engine was examined using vegetable oil. The results show that despite of the long term chain hydrocarbon structure and large droplet size due to high viscosity, vegetable oils have good basic performance and exhaust emissions, however they cause serious problems as carbon deposit buildup, they have poor durability, and also poor thermal efficiency. In this paper, the startability and engine durability with long term operation was tested by physical methods for reducing viscosity when vegetable oil was used as compared against diesel fuel. The results obtained in this investigation may be stated as follows; (1) There is no problem in startability when vegetable oil was used as diesel fuel substitutes as far as fuel temperature is higher than 30.deg. C (2) The carbon deposits were most extensive at lower loads and lower engine speeds, and deposit buildup more heavily on the cooler parts of the combustion chamber wall. (3) Blends with 25% diesel fuel and 20v-% ethanol are effective in reducing the carbon deposit buildups. (4) Significant improvement in carbon deposit and piston ring stick can be obtained by heating fuel(200.deg.).

  • In order to establish a new temperature criterion to prevent the pistons from ring sticking due to deposit formation, bench test and engine test were performed. The effects of oil degradation and temperature on deposit formation was studied by a modified panel coking test. Oil degradation was analyzed by FTIR. Oil oxidation and nitration were selected as a factors to evaluate oil degradation. Bench test results show that oil oxidation is more effective to the deposit formation than oil nitration. And the temperature increase accelerates deposit formation and deposit formation increase rapidly above 26$0^{\circ}C$. Especially, in case of degraded oil, the deposit formation increases so rapidly that ring sticking can occur. The effect of piston temperature on the deposit formation was confirmed by engine test.

  • The catalytic cracking of n-octane over FER, MFI, MOR and BEA zeolites was studied by the protolytic cracking mechanism in order to understand the effect of pore structure of zeolites on their product composition and deactivation. The selectivities for $C_3$ and $C_3{^=}$ were high over the zeolites with medium pores due to additional cracking, while those for $C_4$ and $C_4{^=}$, the initial products, were high over the zeolites with large pores. MFI zeolite showed slow deactivation due to small carbon deposit, while FER zeolite with small pores deactivated rapidly with severe carbon deposit. The deactivation of BEA zeolite was slow even with a large amount of carbon deposit, but MOR zeolite showed a rapid deactivation even with a small amount of carbon deposit. The conversion measured along with the time on stream on these zeolite catalysts was simulated by a mechanism based on the simplified reaction path of n-octane cracking and the deactivation related to the pore blockage by carbon deposit.

  • This work dealt with the evaluation of galvanic corrosion rate in a corrosion cell having annular gap of 0.5 mm between carbon steel 1018 and alloy 600 as a function of temperature and boron concentration. Temperature and boron concentration were ranged from 110 to 300 $^{\circ}C$ and 2000~10000 ppm, respectively. After the operating temperature of the corrosion cell where the electrolyte was injected was attained at setting temperature, galvanic coupling was made and at the same time galvanic current was measured. The galvanic corrosion rate decreased with time, which was described by corrosion product such as protective film as well as boric acid deposit formed on the carbon steel with time. From the galvanic current obtained as a function of temperature and boron concentration, it was found that the galvanic corrosion rate decreased with temperaturewhilethe corrosionrate increasedwith boronconcentration. The experimental resultsobtained from galvanic corrosion measurement were explained by adhesive property of corrosion product such as protective film, boric acid deposit formed on the carbon steel wall and dehydration of boric acid to be slightlysolubleboric acid phase.Moreoverthe galvaniccorrosionrate calculatedusing initialgalvaniccoupling current instead of steady state coupling current was remarked, which could give us relatively closer galvanic corrosion rate to real pressurized water reactor.

  • A simple method to deposit carbon nanotube films uniformly on large area substrates using an arc discharge method is reported in this paper. The arc discharge method was modified to deposit carbon nanotube films in situ on the substrates. The substrates were scanned several times over the arcing point for a uniform film thickness. Deposition was carried out under variable dc bias conditions at 600 torr of $H_2$ gas. The thickness uniformity of the single-wall carbon nanotube films as characterized by a four-point probe was within 30% deviation. The morphology and crystal quality of the single-wall carbon nanotube film were also characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.

  • Chromium-carbon (Cr-C) and chromium-carbon-phosphorus (Cr-C-P) alloy deposits using trivalent chromium sulfate baths containing potassium formate were prepared to study their current efficiency, hardness change and phase transformations behavior with heat treatment, respectively. The current efficiencies of Cr-C and Cr-C-P alloy deposits increase with increasing current density in the range of 15-35 A/dm$^2$. Carbon content of Cr-C and phosphorous of Cr-C-P layers decreases with increasing current density, whereas, the carbon content of Cr-C-P layer is almost constant with the current density. Cr-C deposit shows crystallization at $400^{\circ}C$ and has (Cr+Cr$_{ 23}$$C_{6}$) phases at $800^{\circ}C$. Cr-C-P deposit shows crystallization at $600^{\circ}C$ and has (Cr+Cr$_{23}$ $C_{6}$$+Cr_3$P) phases at $800^{\circ}C$. The hardness of Cr-C and Cr-C-P deposits after heating treatment for one hour increase up to Hv 1640 and Hv 1540 and decrease about Hv 820 and Hv 1270 with increasing annealing temperature in the range of $400~^{\circ}C$, respectively. The hardness change with annealing is due to the order of occurring of chromium crystallization, precipitation hardening effect, softening and grain growth with temperature. Less decrease of hardness of Cr-C-P deposit after annealing above $700^{\circ}C$ is related to continuous precipitation of $Cr_{23}$ $C_{6}$ and $Cr_3$P phases which retard grain growth at the temperature.
