The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of unburned carbon (UBC) and NOx emissions for pulverized coal when air staging combustion is applied. A two-staged drop tube furnace capable of applying air staging combustion was designed and installed. The combustion of sub-bituminous (Tanito) has been investigated. UBC and the NOx concentration were measured under various temperatures and stoichiometric ratios in unstaged and staged combustion. As a result, UBC decreased and the NOx concentration increased with an increase in stoichiometric ratio and temperature. In particular, the NOx reduction mechanism was activated when the temperature in the fuel rich zone increased. Both UBC and the NOx concentration decreased as the temperature increased in the fuel rich zone. A high NOx reduction effect was obtained, compared to the UBC increase, when the air staging technique was applied.

Air-staged combustion is known to be one of the techniques of NOx reduction. The objective of this study is to determine the optimal ratio of air flow distributed for CCOFA and SOFA; at this optimal ratio, the combustion and exhaust emission characteristics of a pulverized coal-fired boiler are maintained at a satisfactory level. A numerical investigation was performed at various airflow ratios of 16.7/83.3%, 25/75%, 50/50%, 75/25%, and 83.3/16.7%. An inert gas was considered as a substitute for air to isolate the effects of the cooling process and chemical reaction on NOx reduction; during NOx reduction in air-staged combustion, both the effects typically occur simultaneously. The results of our study show that the optimum condition, under which the maximum NOx reduction and highest boiler efficiency can be obtained, corresponds to the equal splitting of the over-fire air between CCOFA and SOFA.

본 연구에서는 수리모형실험을 통하여 원형 다단 실린더 게이트 형식의 취수시설에서 발생하는 공기연행을 분석하였다. 수리모형실험의 원형은 경상북도 청도군에 위치한 운문댐의 "운문댐 안전성 강화사업"에서 계획되고 있는 신설취수탑을 기준으로 상사법칙은 Froude상사법칙을 적용하고 1/20의 모형 축척을 가지는 취수탑의 국부모형에 하류단 수위를 고려하기 위해 유량조절시설을 설치하여 실험을 실시하였다. 실험조건은 크게 두 가지로 구분하였으며, 수면으로부터 유입구 상단부까지의 거리 ∆h1(m)과 유입부 저수지 저류 수위와 하류단 유량조절시설간의 수위차인 ∆h2(m)이며, ∆h1에 대한 조건은 0.01m~0.06m로 0.01m 간격으로 6가지, ∆h2에 대한 조건은 0.10m~1.70m로 0.20m간격으로 9가지로 이를 조합하여 총 54개 CASE에 대해 진행하였다. 실험결과 공기연행 발생 시 그에 따른 영향을 평가하기 위해 발생 정도에 따라 미발생(Not Occur), 간헐적(Intermittent), 빈번한(Frequent), 지속적(Continuation), 공기 폭발(Air Explosion)로 분류하였으며, 각 공기연행 발생 시 취수유량의 감소율 및 영향을 분석한 결과 간헐적 공기연행 발생 시 최대 약 3.75%의 취수유량 감소, 빈번한 공기연행 발생 시 취수유량은 전체적으로 10%, 최대 약 13.19% 감소하였으며, 지속적 공기연행 발생 시 발생 이후 ∆h2증가에 의한 취수유량의 증가가 거의 이루어지지 않으며, 최대 56.25%의 취수유량이 감소, 공기 폭발 발생 시 취수유량의 영향은 지속적 발생과 비슷하나 관내 공기 포집 후 유입구로 방출 시 관에 강한 충격을 주어 안정성에도 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되어, 이에 안정성 및 취수유량 감소율을 고려하여 빈번, 지속, 공기 폭발 발생 영역에서의 취수는 적합하지 않으며, 공기연행 미발생 및 간헐적 발생 영역에서의 취수 시 목표 취수유량이 1.00~4.00(㎥/s)일 때 ∆h1= 0.40m 이상, 4.00~9.30(㎥/s) 일 때 ∆h1= 0.60m 이상, 9.30~9.53(㎥/s) 일 때 ∆h1=0.80m 이상, 9.53~9.65(㎥/s) 일 때 ∆h1= 1.00m 이상에서 취수유량 감소율 3.75% 이내로 취수유량의 확보가 가능하다. 이러한 결과는 원형 다단 실린더 게이트 형식의 취수시설에 대해 취수 시 수면와류에 의한 Air Core와 그에 따른 공기연행의 발생 조건과 영향을 수리모형실험을 통해 확인함으로써 실제 운용 시 보다 안정적이고 효율적인 운용에 대한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 추가로 수치해석을 통한 비교 및 공기연행과 관내 공기포집 정도에 대한 연구를 통해 보다 정확한 자료제시가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, urban inundation was frequently occurred due to the intensive rainfall exceeding marginal capacity of the flood control facility. Furthermore, needs for the underground storage facilities to mitigate urban flood are increasing according to rapidly accelerating urbanization. Thus, in this study, drainage efficiency in drain tunnel connecting to underground storage was investigated from the air-core measurements in the drop shaft against two types of inlet structure. In case of the spiral inlet, the multi-stage structure is introduced at the bottom of the inlet to improve the vortex induction effect at low inflow discharge (multi-stage spiral inlet). The average cross-sectional area of the air-core in the multi-stage spiral inlet is 10% larger than the tangential inlet, and show the highly air emission effect and the highly inflow efficiency at the high inflow discharge. In case of the tangential inlets, the air emission effect decreased after exceeding the maximum inflow discharge, which is required to maintain the inherent performance of the tangential inlet. From the measurements, the empirical formula for the cross-sectional area of the air-core according to locations inside the drop shaft was proposed in order to provide the experimental data available for the inlet model used in experiments.

대기 중에 부유하는 입자상 물질을 크기별로 측정하는 기술은 크게 입자의 전기적 특성, 광학적 특성 및 공기역학적 특성을 이용하는 방법이 널리 사용된다. 이중 입자의 공기역학적 특성, 다시 말해 입자의 관성력을 이용한 다단임팩터는 설계 및 제작이 용이하고, 입경별 분리능력이 우수하기 때문에 대기 에어로졸의 입경분포 측정에 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구의 목표는 분리입경이 각각 10, 5, 2.5, 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 인 상압 4단임팩터를 설계, 제작하여 성능평가하는 데 있다. (중략)

일반적으로 NOx배출은 연소과정에 의해 강력하게 지배되고 있으며, NOx 저감 기술은 1970년대 후반부터 많은 연구들이 수행되어, 그 이론들이 확립되고 있다. 석탄 연소시스템에서는 공기 다단(air staging, OFA), 연료다단(fuel staging, reburning) 및 배기가스 재순환(FGR) 등이 대표적인 NOx 저감 기술이며 [1∼4], 그 중 배기가스 재순환법은 저산소 배기가스를 연소용 공기에 재혼입시키므로써 NO의 생성속도를 저하시켜 NOx를 저감시키는 기법이다.(중략)

Today, due to the environmental regulations regarding air pollution in the EU, the use of EPS (Styrofoam) as the cushioning material in the packaging industry is decreasing. In effect, air cushioning based cushioning materials are rapidly expanding into the market and replacing EPS, due to their excellent buffering ability and environmental friendliness. This is a new selective filling type air filling material manufacturing technology that affords improvements in the amount of raw materials required, its processing and its aesthetic appearance compared to the conventional air filling cushioning materials. In this study, a multi-stage air cell filling valve molding technology is developed based on selective filling technology, which allows packages to be selectively filled in various forms by applying valve forming structure technology. This multi-stage air cell filling valve molding technology is a technique in which a plurality of injection ports are formed by laminating three layers of films, viz. a first injection film, a valve film, and a second injection film having valve ends. In the conventional technology, a separate external air injection path for injecting air into a plurality of connected air bags is needed. However, in the proposed system, an external air injection path is formed inside the air bag, Due to the lack of need for an injection furnace, the raw material and process are reduced and air is injected and then discharged, while the air bag is reduced in length to 63 ~ 66% of its normal value. The outer surface of the outer air injection path is integrated inside by maintaining the original length of the cross section, while the unnecessary folded air is injected into the interior of the air bag, This smart air filling type cushioning material manufacturing technology constitutes a big improvement over the existing technologies.

The objective of this research is to determine generally applicable design principles for the development of internally staged combustion devices. Utilizing a triple annulus combustor, the detailed combustion characteristics are studied. For this triple air staged combustor, the angular momentum weighted by it#s swirl number and air distribution ratio was observed to be the critical criteria of NOx emission. An internal recirculation zone which develops on the centerline of the flame immediately downstream of the burner entraps the fuel into a fuel rich eddy. Then sufficient heat must be transferred from the flame via radiation to the chamber heat transfer surfaces, such that the peak flame temperatures are suppressed when the second air is introduced. It is experimentally found out that the total NOx emission level in this type of burner is below 50ppm(3% Ref. O2) at optimum operating conditions.

Coal-burning utilities are facing a major NOx control compliance challenge due to the heavy emission regulation. In response to this challenge, some applicative technologies to effectively reduce NOx are developed and applied in the pulverized coal power plants. One of these is low NOx burner(LNB) equipped with multi-staged air register. In this study, NOx emission rate and flame shapes are investigated with secondary and tertiary air flow conditions in air staged coal burner, and the optimal windows of flow conditions to minimize NOx emission rate are found out. The test conditions treated in this study are the flow rate, swirl direction and intensity and throat injection velocity of secondary and tertiary air.
