Abstract

The end-burning combustion field using impinging oxidizer injectors are analyzed with tangential type injectors in order to examine their mixing and combustion characteristics. The impinging type showed further improved mixing effect as well as the combustion efficiency compared to the previously studied tangential injector. A novel injector capable of delivering impinging and swirl effect is introduced in this study where it demonstrated that the grain coning effect can be avoided. It was found that the combined impinging and swirling flow would promote the radial mixing rate increasing the residence time and the turbulent intensity. However, the use of the step combustor which may augment the turbulent intensity did not show any notable difference compared to the basic combustor.

충돌형 산화제 주입기를 사용한 end-burning 하이브리드 연소기의 혼합특성을 선행 연구되었던 접선형 주입기와 비교 분석하였다. 충돌형 주입기를 사용한 연소유동장이 접선형 주입기에 비해 축방향 및 반경방향으로 월등한 혼합특성과 연소효율을 보였다. 충돌효과와 선회효과를 동시에 발생시키는 파생형 주입기를 사용한 결과, 보다 넓은 연소실 영역에서 혼합효율이 증대되었으며 연료 표면의 연소 균일도가 향상될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 충돌로 인한 축방향 운동량과 선회유동이 체류시간과 난류강도를 증가시켜 혼합을 촉진시키는 주요 인자로 판단되었으나 연소실의 기하학적 형상변화를 꾀한 step의 유무는 난류혼합 증진에 있어서 중요한 변수가 아님을 확인할 수 있었다.
