A diesel particulate filter causes progressive increase in back pressure of an exhaust system due to the loading of soot particles. To maintain the pressure drop caused by DPF under proper level, a regeneration process is mandatory when excessive loading of soot is detected in the filter. It is a major reason why the relation between the amount of soot and the pressure drop in a DPF becomes crucial. On the other hand, pressure drop varies with not only the soot loading but also conditions of exhaust gas such as mass flow rate. Therefore, the relation among them becomes complicated. Furthermore, the characteristics of heat transfer in a DPF is another crucial parameter in order for the filter to avoid thermal crack during regeneration period. This study presents characteristics of pressure drop under various conditions of soot loading and mass flow rate in catalyzed diesel particulate filter. This study also shows characteristics of heat transfer in DPF when high temperature gas flows into the filter. Experiments reveal that the soot loading and mass flow rate affect characteristics pressure drop independently. Experiments also indicate that the amount of coating material has little influence on pressure drop with changes in soot loading and mass flow rate. However, increased catalyst coating may lead to the improved heat transfer which is efficiency to reduce thermal stress of the filter.

The working of diesel particulate filters(DPF) needs to periodically burn soot that has been accumulated during loading of the DPF. The prediction of the relation between an uniformity of gas velocity and soot regeneration efficiency with simulations helps to make design decisions and to shorten the development process. This work presents a comprehensive combined 'DOC+CDPF' model approach. All relevant behaviors of flow fluid are studied in a 3D model. The obtained flow fields in the front of DPF is used for 1D simulation for the prediction of the thermal behavior and regeneration efficiency of CDPF. Validation of the present simulation are performed for the axial and radial direction temperature profile and shows goods agreement with experimental data. The coupled simulation of 3D and 1D shows their impact on the overall regeneration efficiency. It is found that the flow non-uniformity may cause severe radial temperature gradient, resulting in degrading regeneration efficiency.

The flow velocity distribution at inlet and exit of a DPF was measured using a Pitot tube and 2-D positioning equipment. An adaptor which was designed for accessing the Pitot tube probe into inlet of the DPF was fabricated with inlet flange of the DPF. The Pitot tube which was mounted in the 2-D positioning machine could access to the inlet of the DPF through the rectangular window of the adaptor. Automation of the velocity measurement at the inlet and exit of the DPF was effectively achieved and measuring time was reduced drastically. The flow velocity distribution at the inlet of the DPF showed parabola shape with maximum velocity near to the center of the DPF, as expected. The velocity distribution at the exit of the DPF showed crown shape, that is, the flow velocity distribution near to the center of the DPF is lower than that at surrounded peripheral region of the DPF.

Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is known to be one of the major harmful emissions produced by diesel engines. The majority of diesel particles are in the range of smaller than $I{\mu}\textrm{m}$. Because of their tiny volume, ultrafine diesel particles contribute very little to the total mass concentration which is currently regulated for automobile emissions. Diesel particles are known to have deleterious effects upon human health because they penetrate human respiratory tract and have negative effects on the health. The measurement of the number distribution of nanometer size particles (nanoparticles) in the diesel exhaust emission is important in order to evaluate their environmental and health impact, and to develop new types of diesel particulate filters. In this study, we directly sampled particulate matters emitted from a diesel truck mounted on the chassis dynamometer by a flow separator and dilution system, and measured the nanoparticles using two types of differential mobility analyzers combined with a Faraday cup electrometer (FCE) and a condensation particle counter (CPC). The particle size distributions were analyzed by changing engine operation condition, i.e. ratio of engine loading. The total number concentration of particles were increased with the engine loading ratio and the nanoparticles (less than 50nm) were affected by hydrocarbon (HC) concentration in the diesel exhaust.

Works were focused on back pressure characteristics of ceramic fiber filter on DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) system and experiments were performed to select appropriate filter which can filter particulates. Filters were installed on metal -support tube which has openings for exhaust gas flow. Ceramic fiber filters with high specific surface area and adequate high temperature strength are commercially available for filtration of diesel particulates and in -situ hot regeneration. Thus, ceramic blanket and ceramic board which are used as insulating media were applied to filter and filtration apparatus was installed on exhaust gas line connected to 2.0 L diesel engine. Alternating filter structure to adapt DPF system, collection efficiency test of diesel particulates was measured. In case of ceramic blanket, pressure drop was low, caused by the destruction of soft structures. Also, particulate collection efficiency was decreased depending on loading time. In case of ceramic board, structure design was altered to reduce back pressure on DPF system. Structure design was altered to induce Z-flow by making 10 mm and 5 mm holes on the surface of media. Alteration of 5 mm hole showed that media have low back pressure but particulate collection efficiency was 77%, while 10 mm hole showed that of 90%.

The main purpose of this study lies on the improvement of micro dilution tunnel based on the typical porous tube type chamber. The characteristics of flow and temperature fields for steady state has been obtained by numerical analysis using FLUENT. Three different geometrical variations of the porous tube; a) increase of thickness at center, b) step increase of thickness at center and downstream, c) tapered increase of thickness, have been proposed. Accordingly results are obtained and compared in terms of penetration velocity and velocity ratio to therrmophoretic velocity for improvement against particulate deposition inside the tube. The penetration velocity and velocity ratio distributions in the upstream portion and portion of impinging of dilution air are apparently shown to be improved for the case of the step and tapered change of porous tube. The tapered change of tube thickness addition are shown to be the most effective among three geometrical changes. In addition, the considerable improvement against deposition are shown that its thickness should be at least 2mm.

Particulate matters in a water distribution system are main causes of turbidity and discoloration of tap water. They could be removed by conventional or uni-directional flushing in a water distribution system. The behaviors and required flow velocity of particles are not well known for their flushing. A model water main and hydrant were made from transparent acrylic pipe of 30mm and 16mm in diameter, respectively. We analyzed the effect of flushing velocity, particle density, and particle diameter. We found that the existence of break-though velocities at which particles begin to be removed, and which are affected by their physical properties. The removal efficiencies seemed to be influenced by resuspension capabilities related to their upward movement from the bottom. Heavy particles like scale were hard to remove through upflow hydrant because the falling velocity, calculated using Stokes' law, was higher. Particle removal efficiencies of upward hydrant and downward drain showed minor differences. Additionally, the length between hydrant and control valve affected flushing efficiency because the particulate matters were trapped in this space by inertia and recirculating flow.

산성 건성침적은 산성비침적만큼 생태계에 중요한 영향을 미친다고 사료된다. 여러 실측소로부터 필터팩 데이터를 비교하는 과정에서 발생되는 가장 중요한 문제들 가운데 하나는 서로 다른 샘플채취 유량의 사용에 있다고 본다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 시료채취 조건이 비교되었는 바, 시료채취 유량의 변화(1.5 $\sim$ 10sLpm)가 건성침적물의 농도측정에 어떠한 영향을 주는 지를 평가하기 위해 밀도 있는 연구가 이루어졌다. 샘플링과 분석의 재현성을 결정하기 위해 한 쌍의 필터팩시료가 동시에 채취되었다. 대기중 시료들은 또한 다양한 유량변화 조건하에서 일주일동안 동시에 채취되었는 데, 그 시료 물질들은 아황산 가스, 질산 가스, 질산염 및 황산염 분진물질들이었다. 동시 측정된 한 쌍의 필퍼팩 시료는 재현성이 있는 것으로 나타났고 언제나 거의 유사한 대기농도 값을 나타내어 주었다. 결론적으로 대기중 산성 건성침적물들의 채취를 위한 유량변화는 그 물질들의 농도측정에 거의 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 상대적으로 낮은 유량 (<5 sLpm)과 높은 유량만 (>5 sLpm)을 비교하였을 때에는, 높은 유량의 경우에 오차의 도입소지가 높다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 필터물질 자체만을 고려해 볼 때, 시료 유입량의 증가에 따라 나일론 필터에 흡착된 아황산가스의 양은 상당히 감소되는 것으로 나타났다.
