As an attempt to reduce the consumption of petroleum resources and to improve the performance of a kerosene engine, a series of experiments was conducted using several kinds of ethanol-kerosene blends under the various compression ratios. The engine used in this study was a single-cylinder, four-cycle kerosene engine having a compression ratio of 4.5. To investigate the feasibility of ethanol-kerosene blends in the original engine, kerosene and blends of 5-percent, 10-percent, and 20-percent-ethanol, by volume, with kerosene were used. And to investigate the feasibility of improving the performance of the kerosene engine, a portion of the cylinder head was cut off to increase the compression ratio up to 5.0 by reducing the combustion chamber volume. Kerosene and blends of 30-percent and 40-percent-ethanol, by volume, with kerosene were used for the modified engine with an increased compression ratio. Variable speed tests at wide-open throttle were also conducted at five speed levels in the range of 1000 to 2200 rpm for each compression ratio and fuel type. Volumetric efficiency, engine torque, and brake specific fuel consumption were determined, and brake thermal efficiency based on the lower heating values of kerosene and ethanol was calculated. The results obtained in the study are summarized as follows: A. Test with the original engine: (1) No abnormal conditions were found when burning ethanol-kerosene blends in the original engine. (2) Volumetric efficiency increased with ethanol concentration in blends. When burning blends of 5-percent, 10-percent, and 20-percent ethanol, by volume, with kerosene, average volumetric efficiency increased 1.6 percent, 2.6 percent, and 4.1 percent respectively, than when burning kerosene. (3) Mean engine torque increased 5.2 percent for 5-percent-ethanol blend, 9.3 percent for 10-percent-ethanol blend, and 11.5 percent for 20-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene. Increase in engine torque when using ethanol-kerosene blends was due to the improved combustion characteristics of ethanol as well as an increase in volumetric efficiency. (4) Up to ethanol concentration of 20 percent, mean brake specific fuel consumption was nearly constant inspite of the difference in heating value between ethanol and kerosene. (5) Brake thermal efficiency increased 0.3 percent for 5-percent-ethanol blend, 3.8 percent for 10-percent-ethanol blend, and 6.8 percent for 20-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene. B. Test with the modified engine with an increased compression ratio: (1) When burning kerosene, mean volumetric efficiency, engine torque, and brake thermal efficiency were somewhat lower than for the original engine. (2) Engine torque increased 15.1 percent for 30-percent-ethanol blend and 18.4 percent for 40-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene. (3) There was no significant difference in brake specific fuel consumption regardless of ethanol concentration in blends. (4) Brake thermal efficiency increased 15.0 percent for 30-percent-ethanol blend and 19. 5 percent for 40-percent-ethanol blend than for kerosene.

An experimental research on supersonic combustion of kerosene in a model scramjet combustor has been conducted. Kerosene was injected normally into a Mach 2 vitiated airstream either at an atomized liquid state or at a gaseous state. The atomization of kerosene was achieved by the “effervescent atomization” method, and the gaseous kerosene was supplied by passing kerosene inside a heated pipe. The results are discussed and are also compared to those in our previous experiment, in which no atomization nor vaporization methods has been conducted to the kerosene.

In order to find out the potential of LP gas as a substitute fuel for small fm engine, experiments were carried out with a four-stroke spark-ignition engine which was modified from a kerosene engine mounted on the power tiller. Performance characteristics of kerosene and LP gas engine such as torque, volumetric efficiency fuel consumption rate, brake thermal efficiency, exhaust temperature, and carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions were measured and analyzed under various levels of engine speed and compression ratio. The results were summarized as follows. 1. It showed that forque of LPG engine was 41% lower than that of kerosene engine with the same compression ratio, but LPG engine with compression ratio of 8.5 it was showed similar torque level to kerosene engine with compression ratio of 4.5. 2. Fuel consumption of LPG engine was reduced by about 5.1% and thermal efficiency was improved by about 2% compared with kerosene engine with the same compression ratio. With the incrasing of compression ratio in LPG engine fuel consumption rate decreased and thermal efficiency increased. 3. Exhaust temperature of LPG engine was about 15% lower than that of kerosene engine. Concenrations of emissions from LPG engine was affected insignificantly by compression ratios, and carbon monoxide emissions from the LPG engine was not affected by engine speed so much. The carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions from LPG engine were about 94% and 66% lower than those of kerosene engine, respectively.

Bioremediation is the technology to harness nature's biodegradative capabilities to remove or detoxify pollutions that threaten public health as environmental contaminants. Composting may become one of major bioremediation technologies for treating soils contaminated with petroleum if the fate of contaminants during composting is better understood Most composting research of petroleum was primarily focused on removing contaminant by optimizing composting conditions. Accordingly, laboratory feasibility studies may be useful to establish a realistic basis in co-composting complex substrate such as petroleum hydrocarbons. The purpose of this study was to assess the optimal conditions of kerosene biodegradation following supplementation with nutrient amendments under simulated composting conditions. Although it increased the growth of bacterial consortium, addition of co-substrates 0.5%(w/v) such as acetic acid, citric acid, glucose, and malic acid was not beneficial. Combination of nitrogen and phosphorous source enhanced kerosene biodegradation and reduced VOC evolution. These results showed that kerosene was able to utilize in bioremediation technology.

액체산소/케로신 액체로켓엔진에서 케로신은 추진제일 뿐만 아니라 3,000 K 이상의 연소가스로부터 연소실 벽면을 보호하기 위한 냉각제 역할도 수행한다. 케로신은 냉각채널을 통과하면서 높은 온도에 노출되기 때문에 열과 관련한 화학반응이 일어나 탄소 과잉 고체가 침전되는 현상이 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 케로신의 열/유체 특성 시험 데이터는 재생냉각 연소실 설계에 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 재생냉각채널과 케로신에 관련된 해외 연구를 조사하였다. 탄화수소 연료에 대한 전반적인 정보를 시작으로, 냉각채널 벽면에 발생하는 퇴적 현상, 이에 대한 원인/연구결과, 케로신 코킹 시험 장치/예방 방법 등을 체계적으로 정리하고자 하였다.

본 연구에서는 유류로 오염된 토양에서 증식배양을 통해 등유 분해 균주 32개체를 순수 분리하였다. 분리한 개체에 대하여 스크린테스트를 통해 고효율 제거 균주를 선별하였으며, 그 결과 Kl4가 kerosene 1,000 mg/L에서 6일간 가장 높은 제거율을 보였다. Kl4는 형태학적, 생리생화학적 테스트, 16S rDNA 및 지방산 분석을 통하여 Pseudomonas aeruginosa로 동정되었다. 위 균주를 사용하여 다양한 생장조건에서의 등유제거를 측정한 결과, 최적분해조건으로 초기 접종 균농도 1.0 g/L (w/v), 등유 1,000 mg/L, 온도 $30^{\circ}C$, pH 7의 조건이 선정되었다. 이 조건으로 K14에 대한 회분식 실험을 실시하였으며, 위 균주는72시간 동안 등유 1,000 mg/L를 78.3% 이상 제거하였다. 또한, 기질농도에 변화를 주어 실험한 결과 저농도의 등유 200 mg/L에 대하여 48시간 동안 95.8%, 고농도의 등유 5,000 mg/L에서 48시간 동안 42% 이상의 제거능을 보여주었다. 위 결과로 보아, K14에 의한 등유의 생물학적 처리는 유류에 오염된 지하수 및 토양에 적용하였을 시, 뛰어난 제거 효능을 보일 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 lab-scale 젤로켓모터를 이용하여 액상 케로신 연료와 이를 젤화 시킨 젤 케로신 연료의 연소시험을 수행함으로써, 각 연료별 연소실 정압특성 및 동압특성에 대해 분석하였다. 액상 케로신과 젤 케로신의 정압, 특성속도 및 특성속도 효율은 예상외로 큰 차이를 보이지 않음을 확인하였다. 그러나 액상 케로신과 젤 케로신의 동압 특성을 비교한 결과, 특정 고주파수 영역에서 젤 케로신의 압력 진폭이 액상 케로신 대비 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 젤 추진제의 고유 연소 메커니즘에 기인한 특성으로 여겨지며, 이들 압력 섭동 진폭이 추후 젤로켓모터의 고주파 연소불안정에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자로 적용될 가능성이 클 것으로 판단되었다.

In this paper, we investigated the heating performance and the basic characteristics required for normal combustion of kerosene fan heater. And also the iso-velocity contours and the iso-temperature contours of hot gas discharged from the exit of kerosene fan heater were analyzed. The experiment was carried out with kerosene fan heater attached to the blow-down-type subsonic wind tunnel with a test section of $240mm{\times}240mm{\times}1200mm$. The purpose of this paper was to obtain the basic data for new design from conventional kerosene fan heater. Consequently it was found that (i) the pressure ratio $P_2/P_1$ had a comparatively constant value of 0.844 according to the increase of the revolution of turbo fan, (ii) the primary excess air ratio had a range of $0.84{\sim}1.11$ during normal combustion, and (iii) the heating performance of kerosene fan heater had a range of $1,494{\sim}3,852kcal/hr$.
