This paper describes on the NOx/CO emission characteristics, temperature characteristics and flame structures when firing coal derived synthetic gas especially for gases of Buggenum and Taean IGCC. These combustion characteristics were observed by conducting ambient-pressure elevated-temperature combustion tests in GE7EA model combustor when varying heat input and nitrogen dilution ratio. Nitrogen addition caused decrement in adiabatic flame temperature, thus resulting in the NOx reduction. At low heat input condition, nitrogen dilution raised the CO emission dramatically due to incomplete combustion. These NOx reduction and CO arising phenomena were observed at certain flame temperature of $1500^{\circ}C$ and $1250^{\circ}C$, respectively. As increasing nitrogen dilution, adiabatic flame temperature and combustor liner temperature were decreased and singular points were detected due to change in flame structure such as flame lifting. From the results, the effect of nitrogen dilution on the NOx/CO and flame structure was examined, and the test data will be utilized as a reference to achieve optimal operating condition of the Taean IGCC demonstration plant.

This study is focused on the ignition of ceiling insulation depending on working condition of Sprinkler head in underground parking lot fire. When temperature changes of same point were measured depending on sprinkler's working condition, in Scenario 1, inner temperature at border of spray applied material(SP-2) of ceiling part near the fire and ceiling insulation(blowing polystyrene) was 658.27℃ and its which inner maximum temperature is higher than 427℃ which is the ignition point of ceiling insulation(blowing polistyrene), so it was observed that flame is ignited on the ceiling insulation and spread fire. In scenario 2, Inner fire temperature at border of spray applied material(SP-2) and ceiling insulation(blowing polystyrene) near the fire was 53.10℃ and it was lower than ignition point so it was observed that flame was not ignated on the ceiling insulation. As a result, it was foreseen that possibility of ignition on the ceiling insulation depending on working condition of sprinkler.

A coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) technique is applied to measure temperature profile in a flame. The CARS signal is obtained with BOXCARS phase matching to get better spatial resolution. A program routine for calculating temperature of the flame from the measured CARS spectra is studied. The routine includes the line broadening mechnism of the molecules described with a modified energy gap (MEG) law by using the perturbation theory. We have found that the temperature profile obtained with the MEG law is properly fit with the results measured with a thermocoulpe and calculated with the adiabatic theory.

에너지 자원의 고갈과 환경오염 문제가 심각히 대두되고 있는 현재 액체연료에 비하여 청정 에너지인 가스의 연료화에 대한 연구는 과거 어느때보다도 그 중요성이 높이 인식되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서 제시하는 연소기는 다공성 물질을 이용하는 연소장치로서 연소 경로를 바꾸어줌으로써 공기를 예열하는 효과를 극대화시킴과 대류열및 복사열을 방출하는 것이 큰 특징이다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 당량비의 감소에 따른 화염온도는 이론단열화염온도보다 높게 나타나서 당량비의 감소에 비례하여 더욱 좋은 효과를 얻을수 있었으며, 또한 왕복주기시간의 감소함에 따라 화염온도는 약간씩 증가하는 경향을 보여주었다. 이것들은 초희박 연소의 가능성을 보여준 것으로 저발열량의 연료 의 연소로 인한 에너지 절약 또는 유기화합물 즉, 페놀류나 알데히드류와 같은 공해물질들을 제거하는 연소메카니즘에 기여한 할 것이다.

This paper presents a numerical investigation of deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) induced by shock wave and flame interaction in ethylene-air mixtures. Also shows the change of DDT triggering time by wall cooling effect. A model is consisted of the compressible reactive Navier-Stokes equations. And the effect of viscosity, thermal conduction, molecular diffusion, chemical reaction and wall effect are included. Using this model, the generation of hot spot by repeated shock and flame interaction, occurrence of detonation, and wall cooling effect of detonation confining boundaries are studied.

대향류 확산 화염의 매연 생성 특성에 대한 실험적 연구가 수행되었으며, 그 결과 에틸렌 ($C_2H_4$)-프로판($C_3H_8$) 혼합 연료의 경우 매연 생성 상승 효과 (synergistic effect)가 관측되었다. 프로판과 에틸렌의 PAH 생성 양상이 상이하게 나타났으며, 소량의 프로판을 에틸렌 확산 화염에 첨가할 경우 순수 연료에 비하여 매연 및 PAH (다중 고리 방향족 탄화수소; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) 생성이 증대되었다. 단조적으로 변화하는 아세틸렌($C_2H_2$) 농도와 단열 화염 온도를 고려할 때, 이러한 결과는 HACA (H-abstraction-$C_2H_2$-addition) 반응만으로는 확산 화염에서의 매연 발생 및 성장을 설명할 수 없음을 의미한다. 수치해석과 실험 결과의 비교로부터 초기 PAH의 생성 과정을 규명하였으며 이 과정에서 C3 화학종의 재결합 반웅이 매우 중요함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 이러한 C3 화학종과 C2 화학종의 상호 보완적인 역할에 의하여 에틸렌-프로판 혼합 연료에서 매연 생성이 증대됨을 밝혔다.

Autoignited lifted flames in laminar jets with hydrogen-enriched methane fuels have been investigated experimentally in heated coflow air. The results showed that the autoignited lifted flame of the methane/hydrogen mixture, which had an initial temperature over 920 K, the threshold temperature for autoignition in methane jets, exhibited features typical of either a tribrachial edge or mild combustion depending on fuel mole fraction and the liftoff height increased with jet velocity. The liftoff height in the hydrogen-assisted autoignition regime was dependent on the square of the adiabatic ignition delay time for the addition of small amounts of hydrogen, as was the case for pure methane jets. When the initial temperature was below 920 K, where the methane fuel did not show autoignition behavior, the flame was autoignited by the addition of hydrogen, which is an ignition improver. The liftoff height demonstrated a unique feature in that it decreased nonlinearly as the jet velocity increased. The differential diffusion of hydrogen is expected to play a crucial role in the decrease in the liftoff height with increasing jet velocity.

Liquid rocket propulsion is a system that produces required thrust for satellites and space launch vehicles by using chemical reactions of a liquid fuel and a liquid oxidizer. Monomethylhydrazine/dinitrogen tetroxide, liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen and RP-1/liquid oxygen are typical combinations of liquid propellants commonly used for the liquid rocket propulsion system. The objective of the present study is to investigate useful design and performance data of liquid rocket engine by conducting a numerical analysis of thermochemical reactions of liquid rocket propellants. For this, final products and chemical compositions of three liquid propellant combinations are calculated using equilibrium constants of major elementary equilibrium reactions when reactants remain in chemical equilibrium state after combustion process. In addition, flame temperature and specific impulse are estimated.

As a carbon-free, green growth alternative, internal and external interest in hydrogen energy and technology is growing. Hydrogen was added to co-axial methane, methane-propane, and methane-propane-ethane diffusion flames, which are the main ingredients of LNG, to evaluate its effect on flame formation and combustion products. The variation in combustion products produced by adding hydrogen gradually to diffusion pyrolysis at room temperature and normal pressure conditions was observed experimentally by using a gas analyzer, and the shape of diffusion pyrolysis was observed step by step using a digital camera. The experimental results showed that the production volume of nitrogen oxides tended to increase and became close to linear as hydrogen was added to the diffusion pyrotechnic. This is because the relatively high temperature of heat insulation and fast combustion speed of hydrogen facilitated the production of thermal NOx. On the other hand, CO2 production tended to decrease as hydrogen was added to reduce the overall carbon ratio contained in the mixed diffusion flame of methane, methane-propane, and methane-ethane-propane. This means that the mixed fuel use of LNG-hydrogen in ships may potentially reduce emissions of CO2, a greenhouse gas.

A cup burner experiment was performed to investigate the effect of the oxidizer velocity and concentration on flame instability near extinction. Heptane was used as a fuel and air diluted by nitrogen and carbon dioxide was used in the oxidizer stream. Two types of flame instabilities at the flame base and at axial downstream were observed near extinction. The instability at the flame base could be characterized by cell, swing, and rotation modes, and the cell mode changed to the rotation mode through the swing mode as the oxidizer velocity increased. To assess the parameters for the flame instability, the initial mixture strengths, Lewis number, and adiabatic flame temperature were investigated under each condition. The Lewis number might be the most important among them, but it is impossible to generalize because of the insufficient number of cases. Furthermore, the axial periodic flickering motion disappeared at low and high oxidizer velocities near extinction. This resulted from the fact that low oxidizer velocity induced evaporated fuel velocity below the critical velocity and high velocity made the reacting fuel velocity comparable.
