초록

본 연구의 목적은 저선회 모델 연소기에서 저선회 연소의 특성을 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 선회각도에 따른 화염의 형상 및 안정화 영역, 배기성능에 대한 평가가 실험적으로 수행되었다. 저선회 연소의 큰 특징은 화염이 부상되어 존재하게 되는데, 이러한 부상화염은 확대유동과 예혼합 화염의 전파특성이 절묘하게 결합되어 발생하게 된다. 본 연소기에서 이러한 부상화염의 특징을 속도 유동장을 통하여 확인하였으며 화염을 가시화하여 나타내었다. 가시화된 화염은 열용량과 당량비에 따라 분류하였다. 선회각도의 변화에 따른 연구를 통해 선회각도만으로도 희박 가연한계를 확장시킬 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 선회각도가 증가할수록 혼합이 향상되고 체류시간이 짧아져 NOx와 CO의 배출이 감소되는 것으로 확인되었다.

This study aims to confirm the characteristics of low swirl combustion at our low swirl model combustor. To do it, it is experimentally conducted by evaluating the flame shape, stability region and emissions according to the swirl angle. The most significant feature of low swirl combustion is a occurrence of lifted flame. Such lifted flames happen to combine exquisitely propagating feature of premixed flame with diverging flow. This feature of lifted flame was confirmed through a velocity flow field and visualized the flame in this model combustor. The visualized flame was classified according to the thermal power and equivalence ratio. The variation study in swirl angles showed that the lean flammable limit could be extended only by swirl angles. Also, as the swirl angle increased, it was confirmed that the NOx and CO emissions were decreased due to the mixing enhancement and shorter resident time.
