본 연구에서는 유화연료 액적의 연소시에 나타나는 일반적인 연소특성과 이에 미치는 압력의 영향에 대하여 실험적인 방법으로 연구를 수행하였다. 고압용기내에서 유화연료의 단일 액적을 연소시키면서 그 연소과정을 고속으로 촬영하여 분석하는 한편, 연소과정중의 액적 내부의 온도변화를 측정하였다. 고압 용기내의 압력은 대기압으로부터 10atm까지, 연료에 대한 물의 혼합비는 체적비로 0-20%까지 변화시키면서, 유화연료 액적의 연소특성에 미치는 물의 함량과 압력변화의 영향을 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 고온 분위기 온도 및 대기압 하에서 액적의 급속가열과 연소가 가능한 고온 연소로 장치와 고속도 비디오 카메라를 이용하여 다조성 단일 액적 연소에 대해 고찰하였다. 그 결과 저비점 성분을 혼합한 경유의 액적은 기본적으로 입경의 2승 법칙에 의해서 감소되었으며, 그 과정에서 입경이 일시적으로 급속히 감소하는 현상이 보여짐과 더불어 연소기간도 단축되었다. 즉, 저비점 성분을 혼합한 경유의 액적은 미세폭발 현상에 의해 기존 디젤 연료에 비해 더 빨리 증발되고 연소가 되었다. 또한, 순수 파라핀계 및 함산소계 연료의 화염은 전체 연소기간동안 기존 경유의 화염에 비해 푸른색을 띠고 있어, 매연이 없는 연소를 입증해 주었다.

This study was performed to provide the information of the soot formation behavior of octane single fuel droplet under the identical combustion conditions. To achieve this, this experimental study provide the results of the soot formation characteristics of octane droplet in accordance with different initial droplet diameter($d_0$), at the same time, experiment was conducted under the same combustion conditions which are 1.0atm of ambient pressure($P_{amb}$), 21% of oxygen concentration($O_2$) and 79% of nitrogen concentration($N_2$). Visualization of octane droplet combustion was performed by visualization system with high speed camera. The results of maximum soot volume fraction($f_{vmax}$) was almost the same under the equivalent ambient conditions regardless of initial droplet diameter. Furthermore, maximum soot volume fraction was showed the higher value in the measuring direction between $135^{\circ}$ and $315^{\circ}$ since the soot-tail is generated during two opposing igniters movement process.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the combustion of single droplets and 1-D droplet arrays of jet A-1 fuel droplets in atmospheric pressure. Experimental results indicate that burning rate constants$({\kappa}_c)$ of jet A-1 fuel droplets were independent of initial droplet size as $0.915{mm}^2$/sec. It was acquired a general relationship expressing the variation of $d^2$ with time for droplet burning For 1-D droplet arrays $(l/d_o$=1.208{\sim}2.922)$/TEX>, the burning rate constant ${\kappa}_c$ decreased with decreasing droplet spacing $l/d_o$ and, The effect on combustion rate constant ${\kappa}_c$ was stronger to second fuel droplet than third fuel droplet with uniform droplet distance

The water-in-fuel droplets were applied to investigate the effect of mixing ratio between water and decane, ambient temperature, droplet size and spacing between droplets on ignition and micro-explosion in a heated chamber with high temperature. The ignition temperature of droplet was found lower as the droplet size was increased and the contents of water was decreased. The life time of droplet, however, decreases as the contents of water increases due to the micro-explosion. The occurrence of micro-explosion also increases as the size of droplets and the ambient temperature increase. The flame spread speed gets faster as the contents of water and the number of suspender decreases.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the combustion of single droplets arrays of Ethyl alcohol and kerosene fuel droplets in atmospheric pressure. The initial droplet diameters, d$_{0}$, were nominally 1.3~1.8mm, and inter-droplet separation distance l(l/do=1.31~2.60). experimental results indicate that burning rate constants(K) of ethyl alcohol and kerosene droplets were independent of initial droplet size as 0.0083, 0.0095 $\textrm{cm}^2$/sec. For 1-D droplet array's kerosene fuel droplet, burning rate constants(K) decreases with decreasing normalized inter-droplet distance. Normalized inter-droplet distance has stronger effect on 2nd fuel droplet than 3rd fuel droplet. When normalized inter-droplet distance is larger than 2.60, the effect of droplet spacing on droplet life is very small.

The main purpose of this study is to provide basic information of droplet burning, extinction process and flame behavior of methanol fuel and improve the ability of theoretical prediction of these phenomena. For the improved understanding of these phenomena, this paper presents the experimental results on the methanol droplet combustion conducted under various initial droplet diameters ($d_0$), ambient pressure ($P_{amb}$), and oxygen concentration ($O_2$) conditions. To achieve this, the experimental study was conducted in terms of burning rate (K) with normalized droplet diameter ($d/d_0$), flame diameter ($d_f$) and flame standoff ratio (FSR) under the assumptions that the droplet combustion can be described by both the quasi-steady behavior for the region between the droplet surface and the flame interface and the transient behavior for the region between the flame interface and ambient surrounding.

The main purpose of this study is to provide basic information of droplet soot generation of decane fuel. To achieve this, this paper presents the experimental results on the decane droplet combustion conducted under various ambient pressure($P_{amb}$), and oxygen concentration($O_2$) conditions. At the same time, the experimental study was conducted in terms of soot volume fraction($f_v$) and its maximum value. Also, visualization of single fuel droplet was conducted by high resolution CCD camera and ambient pressure($P_{amb}$) and oxygen concentration($O_2$) was changed by control system. It was revealed that higher ambient pressure($P_{amb}$), and oxygen concentration($O_2$) enhanced the soot generation and improved the maximum soot volume fraction( $f_v$).

To investigate the characteristics of water droplet on the gas diffusion layer from both top-view and side-view of the flow channel, a rig test apparatus was designed and fabricated with prism attached plate. This experimental device is used to simulate the growth of single liquid water droplet and its transport process with various air flow velocity and channel height. The contact angle hysteresis and height of water droplet are measured and analyzed. It is found that droplet tends towards to be instable by decreasing channel height, increasing flow velocity or making GDL more hydrophobic. Also, the simplified force balance model matches with experimental data only in a restricted range of operating conditions and shows discrepancy as the air flow velocity and channel height increases.

The soot formation characteristics of various alkane-based single fuel droplets were studied in this work. Also, This study was performed to provide the database of the soot behavior and formation of alkane-based single fuel droplet. The experimental conditions were set to 1.0 atm of ambient pressure ($P_{amb}$), 21% of oxygen concentration ($O_2$) and 79% of nitrogen concentration ($N_2$). Combustion and soot formation of single fuel droplet was visualized by visualization system with high speed camera. At the same time, ambient pressure, oxygen concentration and nitrogen concentration were maintained by ambient condition control system. Soot formation characteristics was analyzed and compared on the basis of intensity ratio ($I/I_0$) of background image. The results of toluene fuel droplet showed the largest soot generation. Soot volume fraction ($f_v$) was almost the same under the identical fuel types regardless of various initial droplet diameter ($d_0$) since thermophoretic flux was not much changed under the same ambient conditions.
