A Study on the Combustion Characteristics in an Aero-Valved Pulsating Combustion System

空氣밸브型 脈動燃燒시스템의 燃燒特性에 관한 硏究

Experimental study was carried out to investigate the combustion characteristics of the hero-valved pulsating combustor with maximum operating capacity of 56kW. The pressure, the ion current, and the temperature fluctuations were simultaneously measured and statistically analyzed to identify the combustion process, the reignition and the mixing process of the reactants. It was found that the pulse combustion process was intermittent and the reignition of the reactants was caused by a direct contact and rapid mixing with the previous hot residuals. The analysis of the measured data indicated that the combustion process consisted of there stages in the combustion chamber; the preheating of the reactants in the vicinity of the air inlet pipe, the explosive combustion in the central region and the afterburning in the vicinity of the tailpipe. Wile the inflow of the fresh air occurred during the negative period of the pressure in the mechanical valved system, it occurred during the rising period of the pressure in the aero-valved system.

본 연구에서는 전보의 연구를 통해 가장 성능이 우수하다고 평가된 형상의 연소시스템을 선택해서, 연소실의 압력변동과 이온전류변동의 동시측정, 압력변동과 온도변동의 동시측정결과를 신호분석기에 의해 통계처리함으로써 아직까지 이해가 대단히 부족한 재착화 및 연소메카니즘, 그리고 공기유동특성에 관한 물리적 현상을 규명하고자 한다.
