It is necessary to diagnose accurately the characteristics of soot formation and oxidation in a diesel engine. Whereas past measurement techniques for soot concentration give limited information for soot, laser-based two-dimensional imaging diagnostics have a potential to provide temporally and spatially superior resolved measurements of the soot distribution. The technique using laser sheet beam has been applied to an optically accessible diesel engine for the quantitative measurement of soot. The results provided the information for reduction of soot from the diesel engine. Both LIS (Laser Induced Scattering) and LII (Laser Induced Incandescence) techniques were used simultaneously in this study. The images of LIS and LII showed the quantitative distribution of the soot concentration in the diesel engine. In this study, several results were obtained by the simultaneous measurements of LIS and LII technique. The diameter and number density of soot in combustion chamber of the test engine were obtained from ATDC 20 degree to 110 degree. The soot diameter increased about 37% between ATDC 20 degree and 110 degree. The number density of soot, however, decreased significantly between ATDC 40 degree and 70 degree.

In order to clarify the characteristics of soot formation and oxidation in-cylinder of a diesel engine, it is necessary to diagnose accurately for combustion of in-cylinder. The past techniques for soot measurement have limitations in providing the characteristics of soot in a diesel engine, whereas, laser-based 2D imaging diagnostics have the potential to provide better temporally and spatially resolved measurements of the soot distribution. We rebuilt an optically accessible diesel engine which is similar to the conditions of a conventional engine and tried to measure soot distribution in a cylinder of the diesel engine using laser induced scattering(LIS) and laser induced incandescence(LII). Some results were acquired in this study. LIS and LII signal that show soot distribution of a in-cylinder were taken by ICCD properly. The signal of LIS was intenser than that of LII. Although they have some differences of signal intensity in early combusion period, both of signals show that they are generally similar in late combustion period, after ATDC 50 degree.

본 연구에서는 IMO의 향후 예상 규제 물질 중 하나인 수트를 선박용 엔진을 대상으로는 최초로 배기 수트와 엔진 수트로 구분하여 구조적 특성의 비교 분석을 시도하였다. 그리고 최근 발표되고 있는 배기 수트 재활용 연구의 연장선상에서 엔진 수트의 재활용 가능성 여부를 확인하기 위하여 2,000℃로 열처리를 시행하였고, 열처리 전·후의 수트를 고분해능 전자현미경과 라만분광법을 통해 분석하였다. 전자 현미경을 통한 분석 결과, 배기 수트와 엔진 수트는 유사한 형태의 나노 구조를 가지고 있으나, 배기 수트는 구형의 1차 입자가 체인형 결합구조를 가지고 있었고, 엔진 수트는 배기 수트에 비해 무정형한 구조가 확인되었다. 라만분광법 분석 결과, 배기 수트와 엔진 수트 모두 D peak(1,350 cm^-1)와 G peak(1,580 ~ 1,600 cm^-1)가 확인되었다. 다만, G/D ratio는 엔진 수트에 비해 배기 수트가 상대적으로 높게 나타나며, 이는 배기 수트가 더 흑연화 된 구조를 나타냄을 의미한다. 열처리 후의 분석 결과, 엔진 수트도 배기 수트와 유사하게 흑연화가 문제없이 진행됨을 확인하였고, 이를 통해 선박용 디젤엔진에서 발생하는 배기 수트와 엔진 수트 모두 흑연재료로 재활용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

The temperature and soot of the visualized diesel engine's turbulent flow of the flame was measured qualitatively. In the combustion chamber, in order to judge the affect that the swirl current has on the current ratio two heads with different ratios were used. Using a high speed camera, the results were analyzed using flame visualization. In order to measure the temperature and soot of the turbulent flames like diesel flames, two color methods were used to acquire temperature and the soot of the flames according to the conditions through analyzing the two wavelengths of the flames. It was possible to measure the highest temperature of the non-swirl head visualized engine, which is approximately 2400K, and that swirl head engine managed up to 2100K. With respect to the visualized diesel engine soot, we got the grasp of the KL factor which bears the qualitative information of the soot. This study is dedicated to suggesting the possibility of measuring not only the temperature but also soot of the diffusion flame of the diesel engine turbulent flames.

The effects of EGR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation) on heavy-duty diesel engine performance, NO and soot emissions were numerically investigated using the modified KIVA-3V code. For the fuel spray, the atomization model based on the linear stability analysis and spray wall impingement model were developed for the KIVA-3V code. The Zeldovich mechanism for the formation of nitric oxide and the soot model suggested by Hiroyasu et al. were used to predict the diesel emissions. In this paper, the computational results of fuel spray, cylinder pressure, and emissions were compared with experimental data, and the optimum EGR rates were sought from the NO and soot emissions trade-off. The results showed that the EGR is effective in suppressing NO but the soot emission was increased considerably by EGR. Using cooled EGR, soot emission could be enhanced without worsening of NO.

Soot has a great effect on the formation of PM (Particulate Matter) in D.I. (Direct Injection) Diesel engines. Soot in diesel flame is formed by incomplete combustion when the fuel atomization and mixture formation were poor. Therefore, the understanding of soot formation in a D.I. diesel engine is mandatory to reduce PM in exhaust gas. To investigate soot formation in diesel combustion, various measurements have been performed with laser diagnostics. In this study, the relative soot diameter and the relative number density in a DJ. engine was measured by using LIS (Laser Induced Scattering) and LII (Laser Induced Incandescence) methods simultaneously which are planar imaging techniques. And a visualization D.I. diesel engine was used to introduce a laser beam into the combustion chamber and investigate the diffusion flame characteristics. To find the optimal condition that reduces soot formation in diesel combustion, various injection timing and the swirl flow in the cylinder using the SCV (Swirl Control Valve) were applied. From this experiment, the effects of injection timing and swirl on soot formation were established. Effective reduction of soot formation is possible through the control of these two factors.

The local instantaneous flame temperature and soot concentration in a D. I. diesel engine were measured using a two-color method. The proposed method based on the continuous spectra! radiation from the soot particles in the flame is applicable to industrial Diesel engines without major modifications of their main characteristics because of simplicity and relative ease of application. Measurements were performed at two locations inside the combustion chamber of a D. I. diesel engine. Effects of different engine speeds and loads, fuel injection timings, combustion chamber shapes on flame temperature and KL factor, which is qualitatively proportional to soot concentrations, were examined. Flame temperature change were observed with increasing engine speed and load. The higher the flame temperature is, the lower the KL factor is.

The instantaneous flame temperature and soot formation and oxidation in a D. I. diesel engine are measured by using a two-color method. The proposed method based on the continuous spectral radiation from the soot particles in flames is applicable to industrial diesel engines without major modifications of their main characteristics. Measurements are performed at one location inside the combustion chamber of a D.I. diesel engine. Effects of different engine speeds and loads on flame temperature and KL factor which is an index of soot concentrations were examined. A little temperature change were observed with increasing engine speed, while increased with loads. The higher the flame temperature is, the lower the KL factor is.
