Abstract

The effect of swirl flow on NOx in a nonpremixed turbulent hydrogen jet with coaxial air was studied. The swirl vane angle was varied from $30^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$. The fuel jet air velocity and coaxial air velocity were varied in an attached flame region as $u_F=85{\sim}160m/s$ and $u_A=7{\sim}14m/s$. The objective of the current study was to analyze the characteristics of nitrous oxide emission in a swirl flow and to propose a new parameter for EINOx scaling. The experimental results show that EINOx decreases with the swirl vane angle and increased with flame length. Further, EINOx scaling factors can be determined by considering the effective diameter ($d_{F,eff}$) in a far field concept. The EINOx increased in proportion to the flame residence time (${\sim}{\tau_R}^{1/2.8}$) and the global strain rate (${\sim}{S_G}^{1/2.8}$).

동축공기 수소 난류 확산화염에서 선회류가 NOx에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 공기와의 혼합을 증가시키기 위해 동축공기관에 스월러의 각도를 30, 45, 60, $90^{\circ}$로 바꾸어가며 화염길이와 질소산화물 배출수준을 측정하였다. 연료 속도를 85.7~160.2 m/s, 동축공기 속도는 7.4~14.4 m/s로 조절하였다. 실험을 통해 동축 공기 속도 증가에 따라 화염길이와 질소산화물 배출수준은 증가하였고, 회전류 증가에 따라 감소함을 관찰하였다. EINOx에 미치는 동축공기와 회전류 영향을 상사하기 위하여 far-field 개념의 유효직경($d_{F,eff}$)을 도입하여 동축공기와 선회류에 의한 혼합효과를 표현하였다. 질소산화물 배기배출지표는 화염체류시간(${\sim}{\tau_R}^{1/2.8}$)과 전체 신장률(${\sim}{S_G}^{1/2.8}$)에 영향을 받았다.
