Metal exposed to high temperature/high pressure/oxidizer-rich environment may cause rapid oxidation(ignition and combustion). In this study, a DC power supply test system that controls the temperature of specimen by supplying power to the specimen was constructed and after simulating the high temperature/stagnation/oxidizer-rich environment, the metal oxidation and ignition of STS series metal materials were evaluated. As a result, we was confirmed that the deformation (discoloration) of the selected material, the change in the surface roughness and the peeling of the metal surface were observed, and that the weight and the specimen thickness were changed. The most oxidized specimen was STS 304 and the less oxidized specimen was XM-19.

Smoke from fire is a mixture of combustion gases and particles which include micro-droplets formed from condensed organic vapors and carbonaceous agglomerates. The inhalation of smoke particles causes adverse health effects, and it is prerequisite for the hazard and risk analysis of the smoke particles to know how they behaviour in the respiratory tract. The characteristics of the absorption and adsorption of toxic gases and the amount and location of the particle deposition within the respiratory tract that determine the adverse health effects are related to the morphology and the size distribution of smoke particles. In the present work, as a preliminary study for the adverse health effects of smoke particles, the morphologies of the smoke particles from combustible materials were investigated for each fire stage: smouldering, well-ventilated flaming, small under-ventilated flaming, fully-developed under-ventilated fire. The steady-state tube furnace method given in ISO/TS 19700 was used for the generation of smoke particles. The fire stages were controlled by changing furnace temperature and equivalent ratio. The morphologies were analyzed by using Transmission Electron Microscope (Bio-TEM) by collecting the particles on TEM grids put on each stage of a cascade impactor.

Nowadays, automobile manufacturers are focusing on the reduction of exhaust-gas emissions because of the harmful effects on humans and the environment, such as global warming by greenhouse gases. Gasoline direct injection (GDI) combustion is a promising technology that can improve fuel economy significantly compared to conventional port fuel injection (PFI) gasoline engines. In the present study, ultra-lean combustion with an excess air ratio of over 2.0 is realized with a spray-guided-type GDI combustion system, so that the fuel consumption is improved by about 13%. The level of exhaust-gas emissions and the operation performance with the multiple injection strategy and exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) are examined in comparison with the emission regulations and from the point of view of commercialization.

여과포에 의한 분진 포집기술은 다른 분진포집기술에 비해 가장 우수한 집진성능을 나타낼수 있는 집진기술로서 최근에 와서는 분진발생공정, 연소설비 및 폐기물 소각설비의 중금속 물질, 유해 기체 및 분진의 동시포집 적용 등 광범위한 산업분야에 적응되어 운전되고 있다. 배출기체의 악조건과 습도가 다량 함유된 조건에서는 여과포 집진장치의 적용이 어렵다고 생각되고 있지만, 처리 기체의 조건 및 포집분진의 특성에 적합한 여과포의 개발과 탈진방식(cleaning method)의 개선으로 인해 해결이 가능하게 되었다. 또한 여과포에 의한 분진포집기술은 장치를 통과하는 배출기체의 속도가 다른 집진기술에 비해 느려 여과포 면적이 상대적으로 넓어져서 장치의 설치면적이 많이 소요된다는 단점이 있으나, 여과포를 원간으로 봉재하여 서로 접근시켜 많은 갯수를 다단으로 배치함과 동시에 연속탈진시스템(on-line cleaning)을 채택함으로써 장치에 소요되는 면적을 최소한으로 줄이려는 연구가 계속되고 있다. 대체적으로 여과포에 의한 분진포집기술의 산업체 적용에서 장치의 압력손실은 약 100 - 100 $mmH_2O$ 정도의 범위가 대부분이고 분진 포집효율은 거의 99.9%에서 99.99% 정도 달성이 가능하다[1,2,3].

In this study, combustion characteristics and various performances of a Diesel fuel DI-HCCI engine using 2-stage injection method were investigated. From these researches, application ability of 2-stage injection strategy to a DI-HCCI engine was confirmed and improvement methods of performances were considered. As the results, Using 2-stage injection method, without change of engine specifications and loss of IMEP, exhaust of NOx and Smoke emissions could be reduced to about 1/3 (at 1400rpm, IMEP 6bar) compared to conventional Diesel combustion.

A preburner for the staged combustion in the high performance liquid rocket engine is being developed and strength experiments and finite element analyses on specimens, which simulate the brazing joint of the preburner, were performed and the results were compared. One specimen simulate the joints near oxygen injectors of head by the funance brazing and two specimens the joints of the combustion chamber cooling channel by vacuum brazing. The experiments were burst ones with strain gauges.

An experimental investigation on the reduction of nitrogen oxide emission from swirling, turbulent diffusion flames was conducted using multi air staged combustor, The combustor utilizes swirler to dampen fuel/air mixing, allowing an extended residence time for fuel pyrolysis and fuel-N conversion chemistry in an locally fuel-rich environment prior to burnout. This process also allow to reduce thermal NOx formation to lessen the temperature of reaction zone. The aerodynamic process therefore emulates the conventional staged combustion process, but without the need for the physically separate fuel-rich and -lean stages. Parametric studies on the ratios of each staged air and droplet size were carried out the feasibility of fuel/air mixing for low NOx combustion with diesel and pyridine mixed diesel fuel oil.

Staged combustion cycle engines are well known to have high combustion efficiencies and specific impulse. In this study, design of mixing head part of combustion chamber for 8tonf class staged combustion cycle rocket engine (ES-08) was performed. Structural stability of the mixing head part of the combustion chamber is very important design factor because it is loaded by high temperature and high pressure of fuel and oxidizer as well as by thrust load simultaneously. Uniformity of flow distributions of the propellants to the injectors is also important factor. First, a basic configuration for the ES-08 mixing head part was designed on the basis of the structural design requirements. And then, the structural analyses were performed on the basic configuration as well as some of reinforced configurations. As the structural analyses results, the most stable configuration was selected for the ES-08 mixing head part. In order to examine the uniformity of the flow distributions of the propellants through the manifold of the mixing head, flow analysis was performed based on the selected configuration. The results of the flow analysis showed that the fuel and the oxidizer were uniformly supplied to the injector.

In this research, polysulfone hollow fiber membrane was used to recover $CO_2$ which is one of greenhouse gases from flue gas stream being emitted after the combustion of fossil fuels. The prerequisite requirement is to design the membrane process producing high-purity $CO_2$ from flue gas. For separation of $CO_2$, a membrane module and flue gas containing 10% carbon dioxide was used. The effects of operating conditions such as pressure, temperature, feed gas composition and multi-stage membrane on separation performance were examined at various stage cuts. Higher operating pressure and temperature increased carbon dioxide concentration and recovery ratio in permeate. Recovery ratio and separation efficiency increased if a higher content of $CO_2$ injection gas composition. Three-stage membrane system was producing a 95% $CO_2$ with 90% recovery from flue gas. The separation efficiency of three-stage membrane system was higher than one-stage system.

In this study, the injector transfer function (ITF) of a gas-gas coaxial jet-swirl injector is measured by applying excitation to jet or swirl flow using a loudspeaker. As a result of measuring the ITF according to the variation of feed system length, the ITF peak occurs at the resonance frequency of the space where the perturbed flow passes. When applying the excitation to the jet flow, as the jet flow increases up to 56 slpm, the magnitude of ITF decreases, and ITF increases thereafter. Therefore the larger the velocity difference between the jet and the swirl flow, the larger the ITF. In the case of the swirl excitation, the ITF decreases as the jet flow increases because of the decrease of the energy with respect to the constant flow at the downstream. This difference is caused by the location of the hot wire anemometer on the downstream of the injector center axis.
