Abstract

The combustion characteristics of diffusion flame formed in the wake of a cylindrical stabilizer with varying fuel injection angle were studied. This study was performed by measuring the flame stability limits, lengths and temperatures of recirculation zones of flames, turbulence intensity in the wake of stabilizer, and concentration distribution of combustion gas, and by taking photographs of flames. The flame stability limits are dependent on fuel injection angle and main air velocity. The length and temperature of recirculation zone are dependent on fuel injection angle. As the length of the recirculation zone is decreased, the flame shows more stable behavior. The temperature of recirculation zone has a maximum value at the condition of theoretical mixture. The flame stability is enhanced when the temperature in the recirculation zone decreases. The turbulence intensity in the wake of stabilizer is independent of the fuel injection angle, but it is affected by stabilizer itself and main air flow condition. If the stabilization characteristics of flame is good, the concentration of $C_3H_8$ is high, but the concentration of $CO_2$ is low at the boundary of recirculation zone. The combustion characteristics of diffusion flame can be controlled by changing the fuel injection angles. The appropriate fuel injection angle should be selected to get high combustion efficiency, high load power, low environmental pollution, and clean combustion condition of fuel.

본 연구에서는 연료분출각의 변화에 따라 보염기(cylindrical stabilizer) 후류에 형성되는 확산화염의 화염 안정성, 재순환영역의 길이 및 온도, 보염기 후류의 난류강도 분포, 재순환영역의 연소가스 농도 등을 측정하고, 화염의 직접사진 및 슐리렌사진을 촬영하여 확산화염의 연소특성을 고찰하였다. 화염안정성은 연료분출각과 주류공기 유속의 영향을 받으며, 재순환영역의 길이와 온도는 연료분출각의 영향을 받았다. 재순환영역의 길이가 짧고 온도가 낮을수록 화염안정성이 양호하지만, 연료분출각의 변화에 따른 난류강도 분포에는 별로 차이가 없었다. 재순환영역 내 미연가스 농도가 높고 이산화탄소 농도가 낮은 경우, 화염안정성은 양호하지만 연소상태는 불량한 것으로 나타났다. 연소효율, 고부하 출력, 대기환경, 연료의 청정연소조건 등을 고려하여 적절한 연료분출각을 선정함으로써 양호한 연소조건을 유지할 수 있다.
