Although the demands for diesel engine is increased, our world is faced with very serious problems related to the air pollution due to the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. 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, that is, it can supply oxygen component sufficiently at high load and speed in diesel engine. 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. The results of this study show three conclusions. 1. The smoke omission of the MTBE blended fuel is lower than that of the diesel fuel at all experimental region in direct injection diesel engine. 2. Individual hydrocarbons(C$_1$~ $C_{6}$) as well as total hydrocarbon of oxygenated fuel are reduced remarkably compared with diesel fuel. 3. Smoke emission from diesel engines was strongly depended on oxygen content in fuel regardless of operating condition.

Despite its benefit in engine thermal efficiency, gasoline-direct-injection (GDI) engines generate substantial particulate matter (PM) emissions compared to conventional port-fuel-injection (PFI) engines. One of the reasons for this is that the spray collapse caused by the spray-to-spray interaction forms the locally rich fuel-air mixture and increases the fuel wall film. Previous studies have investigated the spray collapse phenomenon through the macroscopic observation of spray behavior using laser optical techniques, but it is somewhat difficult to understand the interaction between sprays that is initiated in the near-nozzle region within 10 mm from the nozzle exit. In this study, the spray structure, droplet size and velocity data were obtained using an X-ray imaging technique from the near-nozzle to the downstream of the spray to investigate the spray-to-spray interaction and discuss the effects of spray collapse on local droplet size and velocity distribution. It was found that as the ambient density increases, the spray collapse was promoted due to the intensified spray-to-spray interaction, thereby increasing the local droplet size and velocity from the near-nozzle region as a result of droplet collision/coalescence.

As a second part of the comparison study, microscopic features of an air-assisted fuel injector(AAFI) and a high-pressure swirl injector (HPSI) were characterized. They consist of the internal spray structure in terms of fuel mass and drop diameter, the overall atomization performance with respect to operating parameters and the drop size distribution. Large droplets are concentrated in around the head part of a spray field of the HPSI, while in the case of the AAFI, they were distributed in the tail part. Although the AAFI showed the better atomization performance, the feasible ranges of operating parameters such as injection and ambient pressure were found to be wider in the HPSI. Drop size distribution of the AAFI sprays was more dispersed than that of the HPSI. Drop size distribution of the AAFI sprays was more dispersed than that of the HPSI. However, at the well-atomized condition, it appeared to be very uniform.

The worldwide focus on reducing the emissions, fuel and lubricant consumption in T-GDI engines is leading engineers to consider the crankcase ventilation and oil mist separation system as an important means of control. In today's passenger cars, the oil mist separation systems mainly use the inertia effect (e.g. labyrinth, cyclone etc.). Therefore, this study has investigated high efficiency cylinder head-integrated oil-mist separator by using a compact multi-impactor type oil mist separator system to ensure adequate oil mist separation performance. For this purpose, engine dynamometer testing with oil particle efficiency measurement equipment and 3D two-phase flow simulation have been performed for various engine operating conditions. Tests with an actual engine on a dynamometer showed oil aerosol particle size distributions varied depending on operating conditions. For instance, high rpm and load increases bot only blow-by gases but the amount of small size oil droplets. Submicron-sized particles (less than 0.5 ㎛) were also observed. It is also found that the impactor type separator is able to separate nearly no droplets of diameter lower than 3 ㎛. CFD results showed that the complex aerodynamics processes that lead to strong impingement and break-up can strip out large droplets and generate more small size droplets.

고압연료펌프는 GDI 엔진의 핵심 구성요소로써, 엔진출력 및 연료 효율을 향상시키기 위해서는 고압연료펌프의 유동특성을 연구하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 유압해석툴인 AMEsim을 이용하여 고압연료펌프의 통합 모델을 생성하여 유동해석을 수행하였다. 하지만, AMEsim은 시스템 해석을 위한 1차원 모델이므로 복잡한 유동현상이 발생하는 부근에서의 해석 결과는 정확하지 않은 단점이 있으므로 본 연구에서는 전산해석프로그램인 Fluent를 이용하여 난류유동이 발생하는 체크밸브의 흡입부와 토출부에서 유량과 알짜힘을 계산하였다. 다양한 압력조건과 밸브 간극변화에 따른 CFD 해석 결과는 AMEsim모델에 대한 룩업테이블로 사용되어 AMEsim의 결과를 보완함으로써 고압연료펌프에 대한 성능 분석결과의 정확성을 향상시키는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Laminar burning velocities of propane- and iso-octane-air mixtures have been numerically modelled over a wide range of equivalence ratio, pressure and temperature. These correlations are applicable to the modelling of stratified charged combustion like that of lean bum and GDI engine combustion. The numerical models are based on the results calculated by PREMIX code with Sloane's detailed chemical reaction mechanism for propane and FlameMaster code with Peters' for iso-octane. Laminar burning velocity for two fuels showed a pressure and temperature dependence in the following form, in the range of $0.1{\sim}4MPa$, and $300{\sim}1000K$, respectively. $S_L={\alpha}\;{\exp}[-\xi({\phi}-{\phi}_m)^2-{\exp}\{-{\xi}({\phi}-{\phi}_m)\}-{\xi}({\phi}-{\phi}_m)]$ where ${\phi}_m=1.07$, and both of ${\alpha}$ and ${\xi}$ are functions of pressure and temperature. Compared with the results of the existing models, those of the present one showed the good agreement of the recent experiment data, especially in the range of lean and rich sides. Judging from the calculated results of the stratified charged combustion by using STAR-CD, the above modelling prove to be more suitable than the other ones.

Recently, manufacture and sales of passenger car with GDI (Gasoline Direct injection) were dramatically increased in Korea. In this study, investigation on the exhaust emission characteristics of GDI vehicles according to mileage were conducted by using chassis dynamometer and emission analyzer. Test cars selected 5 types with G4FD engine (1600 cc) and emissions of total 14 vehicles analyzed. Measurement and evaluation on emissions (CO, NOx, NMOG, $CO_2$) characteristics of GDI vehicles with mileages from 40,000 to 80,000 km in certification driving cycle (CVS-75) were carried out in this study. It is revealed that emission results of all test cars shows below emission standard, NMOG emission value of about 80,000 km doubled that of 40,000 km and emission increased by accumulated mileage. Also, increasing pattern of NOx emissions shows when the vehicle mileages was increased and $CO_2$ emission increasing trend obviously do not show according to mileages.

Spray impingement and fuel film formation models were developed and incorporated into the computational fluid dynamics code. STAR-CD. The spray/wall interaction process was modeled by considering the change of behaviour with surface temperature conditions and the fuel film formation. We divided the behaviour of fuel droplets after impingement into rebound, spread and splash using the Weber number and the parameter K. The Spray impingement model accounts for mass conservation, energy conservation and heat transfer to the impinging droplets. The fuel film formation model was developed by integrating the continuity, Navier-Stokes and energy equations along the direction of fuel film thickness. Validation of the models was conducted using previous diesel spray experimental data and the present experimental results for the gasoline spray impingement. In all the cases, the prediction compared reasonably well with the experimental results. The spray impingement and fuel film formation models have been applied to the spray/wall impingement in high speed direct injection diesel engines.

지구 기상이변에 대해 탄소중립의 중요성이 대두됨에 따라 무탄소 연료인 수소의 에너지원으로서의 활용도 역시 증대되고 있다. 일반적으로 수소는 연료전지(FC, Fuel Cell)에 활용되고 있으나, 이는 연소를 기반으로 하는 내연기관(ICE, Internal Combustion Engine)에도 활용될 수 있다. 특히 연료전지만으로 수소 활용 및 인프라 확장이 어려운 때에 이미 생산 측면이나 공급 측면에서 인프라가 기 구축되어 있는 내연기관은 수소 에너지 저변 확대에 큰 도움을 줄 수 있다. 다만 수소를 연소기반으로 활용할 경우 고온에서 공기 중 질소가 산소와 반응하여 유해배기물질인 질소산화물(NOx, Nitrogen Oxides)이 생성될 수 있는 단점은 존재한다. 특히 냉간 (Cold Start) 운전 영역시 포함될 EURO-7 배기규제의 경우 워밍업(Warm-up) 과정에서 발생하는 배기배출물의 저감을 위한 노력도 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2 L급 수소 직접분사방식 전기점화 (SI, Spark Ignition) 엔진을 활용하여 냉각수를 상온에서 88 ℃로 워밍업하는 과정에서 질소산화물 및 연료소모율의 변화 특성을 살펴보았다. 특히 수소는 기존의 가솔린, 천연가스, 액화석유가스(LPG, Liquified Petroleum Gas)와 달리 가연범위(Flammable range)가 넓기 때문에 공기과잉률(Excessive air ratio)을 희박하게 조절할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 워밍업하는 과정에 있어서 공기과잉률을 1.6/1.8/2.0으로 변화하여 그 결과를 분석하였다. 본 실험의 결과는 워밍업 시 공기과잉률이 희박해질수록 시간당 질소산화물의 배출이 적고, 열효율도 상대적으로 높으나 최종 온도까지 도달 시간이 길어짐에 따라 누적 배출량 및 연료소모율은 악화될 수도 있음을 시사한다.

In order to be applicable to the combustion modelling of stratified charged combustion like that of - lean burn and GDI engine, the correlations of laminar burring velocities fur several hydrocarbon fuels and methanol are needed over a wide range of equivalence ratio, pressure and temperature. In this study, these correlations are modeled in the 1311owing form based on the experimental and Muller\`s modeling results for several fuels, where $\alpha$, ξ, and ξ are functions of pressure and temperature, $S_{L}$ =$\alpha$ exp[-ξ($\Phi$-$\Phi$$_{m}$)$^{2}$ -exp {-ζ($\Phi$-$\Phi$$_{m}$)}-ζ($\Phi$-$\Phi$$_{m}$)]. By using the results calculated by PREMIX code with Sloane\`s detailed chemical reaction mechanism for propane, it is verified that the coefficients of the abode modeling can be determined by considering laminar burning velocity data only in a range of equivalence ratio less than $\Phi$$_{m}$. Therefore, Muller\`s modeling results can be adopted leer modeling of the pressure and temperature dependency. Compared with the results of the existing Keck'and Gulder's models, those of the present one showed the good agreement of the recent experimental data, especially in the range of lean and rich sides.s.des.s.
