This study is a numerical study using commercial simulation program GT-Power on 1.5MW diesel engine for power generation. Performance comparison has done for diesel operation with dual fuel operation for different engine load(50%, 75%, 100%) using the target engine model with additional gas injection system. Effect of using Hi-sene, which is actually being used in island area, instead of diesel was also studied. As a result, under 60% natural gas with diesel condition, BSFC was increased by 32% without modifying system. There was almost no change for natural gas/Hi-sene condition compared with natural gas/diesel condition. Decrease of burned fuel fraction was the main reason of these phenomena. After optimizing system, BSFC was improved by 2%.

In this study, the potential possibility of oxygenated fuel such as Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) was investigated for the sake of exhausted smoke reduction from diesel engine. MTBE has been used as a fuel additive blended into unleaded gasoline to improve octane number, but the study of application for diesel engine was incomplete. Because MTBE includes oxygen content approximately 18%, it is a kind of oxygenated fuel that the smoke emission of MTBE is reduced remarkably compared with commercial diesel fuel. But, the NOx emission of MTBE blended fuel is increased compared with commercial diesel fuel. And, it was tried to analyze not only total hydrocarbon but individual hydrocarbon components from $C_1$ to $C_6$ in exhaust gas using gas chromatography to seek the reason for remarkable reduction of smoke emission. Individual hydrocarbons($C_1$~$C_6$) as well as total hydrocarbon of oxygenated fuel are reduced remarkably compared with diesel fuel. And, the effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on the characteristics of NOx emission has been investigated, too. It was found that simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx was achieved with oxygenated fuel and cooled EGR method.

This is a thesis about the experiment of comparison characteristic of power and exhaust gas in the same condition between diesel engine that is equipped turbocharger different from response power to increase effectiveness of the engine which is recently used in a lot of industry which requires high power. Resulting of the experiment with natural aspiration diesel engine and turbocharger diesel engine, difference in low speed is not significant, but in high speed, effectiveness of turbocharger diesel engine is much higher than the other one. In other hand, in exhaust gas experiment, turbocharger model exhausts more $NO_X$ and $O_2$, but it doesn't significantly affect the result when it comes with decreasing of $CO_2$ and effectiveness of increased power characteristic. As a result, the turbocharger diesel engine is economically effective comparing with the natural aspiration diesel engine.

EGR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation) is known as the technique reducing the NOx emissions from diesel engine. Low pressure roote and high pressure roote are applied for heavy-duty diesel engine are. In this study, as research for the heavy duty diesel engine equipped with EGR, reduction characteristic of CO, THC, NOx, and PM in HD diesel engines are investigated by applying EGR device. Also, through the experiments using 11 liters, turbocharged diesel engine with EGR valve and intercooler, exhaust gas reduction characteristics were measured as changing in EGR rate according to D-13 mode.

Recently, as the fine dust is increased and the emission regulations of diesel engines are strengthened, interest in diesel soot filtration devices is rapidly increased. In particular, there is a demand for technology development for higher efficiency of diesel exhaust gas after-treatment devices. As part of this, many studies conducted to increase the exhaust gas treatment efficiency by improving the flow uniformity of the exhaust gas in the DPF and reducing the pressure drop between the inlet and outlet of disel particle filter (DPF). In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was performed when exhaust gas flows into the canning reduction device equipped with a 13" asymmetric DPF in order to maintain the flow uniformity in the diesel exhaust system and reduce the pressure. In particular, a study was conducted to find the geometry with the smallest pressure drop and the highest flow uniformity by simulating the DPF I/O ratio, exhaust gas temperature, inlet-outlet pressure and flow uniformity according to the geometry and hole size of distributor.

Intake gases other than air, which is composed of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and argon, are used to study their effects on the performance of the diesel engine experimentally. The engine is operated at constant speed and fixed fuel injection timing, and cylinder pressure and heat release rate are measured at various intake gas compositions. The results show that increase of oxygen concentration improves the performance of the engine generally. The adverse effect is observed when the oxygen concentration is increased over the critical oxygen concentration of this test, mainly because of the over-shortened ignition delay. Increase of carbon dioxide concentration degardes the performance of the engine, mainly due to the lower specific heat ratio of carbon dioxide. Adding argon gas to the intake gas improves the overall performance. Finally, it is found that two most influencing factors affecting the performance of the diesel engine in this study are ignition delay and speific heat ratio of the intake gas.

Marine transportation industry is undergoing a number of problems. Some of these problems are associated with conventional marine fuel-oils. Many researchers have showed that fuel-oil is considered as the main component that causes both environmental and economic problems, especially with the continuous rising of fuel cost. This paper investigates the capability of using natural gas and hydrogen as alternative fuel instead of diesel oil for marine gas turbine, the effect of the alternative fuel on gas turbine thermodynamic performance and the employed mathematical model. The results showed that since the natural gas is categorized as hydrocarbon fuel, the thermodynamic performance of the gas turbine cycle using the natural gas was found to be close to the diesel case performance. The gas turbine thermal efficiency was found to be 1% less in the case of hydrogen compared to the original case of diesel.

In order to judge that non-esterified soybean oil could be used on diesel engine with electronic control of fuel injection system, The test of combustion performance using only gas oil, gas oil blended with esterified bio-diesel oil 5% and non-esterified soybean oil 5% were carried out. It is noticed that most performances of gas oil blended with esterified bio-diesel oil 5% and non-esterified 5% have similar characteristics but non-esterified bio-diesel oil 5% emitted smaller NOx, resulting from fuel NO.

This numerical study was carried out to optimize dual fuel combustion on natural gas-diesel in static chamber. Spray experiments conducted under conditions of premixed methan 0%, 5% and 10%. In the results, penetration decreases when premixed methane is increasing. Constants of numerical models were acquired from results of spray experiments to enhance accuracy of numerical study. And dual fuel engine simulation was implemented by using AVL-FIRE with acquired constants.
