Experiments were conducted to measure the heat flux and temperature over a protuberance, using an impulse hypersonic shock tunnel-coaxial thermocouples and a blowdown hypersonic wind tunnel-temperature sensitive paints(TSP). Experimental data were compared with the heat flux data using a blowdown hypersonic wind tunnel-heat flux gauges and it was confirmed data sets agreed well. The measured heat flux is large when the height of the protuberance is large. Also, the heat flux measurements at the upper positions are larger than at the lower positions. For high protuberances, a severe jump in the heat flux is observed, from about 0.6~0.7 of the height of the protuberances. However, when the protuberance is sufficiently short, a rise in the heat flux is rarely observed as the protuberance is submerged totally under the separation region.

The temperature and soot particle measurement technique in a laminar diffusion flame has been studied to investigate the characteristics of soot particle with temperature using a co-flow burner. The temperature distribution in the flame were measured by rapid insertion of a R-type thermocouple and the soot particles by LEM/LIS techniques. In these measurement, soot volume fraction, number density and soot diameters were analyzed experimentally. As a results, the spacial distributions of particle volume fraction, soot diameter, and number density are mapped throughout the flame using the Rayleigh theory for the scattering of light by particles. A laser extinction method was used to measure the soot volume fraction and laser induced scattering method was used to measure the soot particle diameter and number density. Also, we measured temperature without the effect of soot particles attached to the thermocouple junction, which is close to the nozzle. In this result, we found that upstream zone has a unstable flowing in co-flow diffusion flame and the y-axis temperature of flame has a uniform temperature distribution in the most soot volume fraction zone.

The temperature and soot particle measurement technique in a laminar diffusion flame have been studied to investigate the characteristics of soot particle with temperature using a co-flow burner. The temperature distributions in the flame were measured by rapid insertion of a R-type thermocouple and the soot particles were detected were detected by LEM/LIS techniques. In these measurement, soot volume fraction, number density and soot diameters were analyzed experimentally. As a results, the spacial distributions of particle volume fraction, soot diameter, and number density are mapped throughout the flame using the Rayleigh theory for the scattering of light by absorbing particles. A laser extinction method was used to measure the soot volume fraction and Laser induced scattering method was used to measure the soot particle diameter and number density. Also, we measured temperature without the effect of soot particles attached to the thermocouple junction, which is close to the nozzle. In this result, we found that upstream zone has a unstable flowing in co-flow diffusion flame and the y-axis temperature of flame has a uniform temperature distribution in the most soot volume fraction zone.

The effect of carbon dioxide addition on soot formation was investigated in jet diffusion flames in coflow. Flame temperature were measured with R-type thermocouple and the boundary temperature between blue and yellow flame was confirmed. Light-extinction method was introduced for the relative soot density (1-I/$I_0$) in the in-flame region. He-Ne laser with wave length at 632.8 nm was used for the light source, and the signal attenuated by absorption and scattering was detected directly. Oxidizer velocity effect on soot formation was studied to know that the thermal influence for soot formation. The results showed that the temperature of both blue and yellow flame were decreased according to the dilution of carbon dioxide but boundary temperature was nearly constant. The relative soot density was lower when carbon dioxide was added in oxidizer stream and oxidizer velocity increased. These were caused by the reduction of flame temperature and shorter residence time for soot growth. Also carbon dioxide addition enhanced the instability of jet flames like flickering, so the flame length was a little longer than pure ethylene/air flame.

The combustion characteristics with variations in synthetic natural gas (SNG) compositions were studied in a lab-scale combustor. The objective of the current study is to investigate the flame stabilization, flame structure, and spectrometry in a non-premixed SNG flame with varying fuel compositions. For the analysis of light emission in SNG flames, we used a spectrometer. As experimental conditions, the fuel jet velocity at the nozzle exit $u_F$ was varied from 5 to 40 m/s and the coaxial air velocity $u_A$ was varies from 0 to 0.43 m/s. The experiments showed that the flame stability increased with the hydrogen component in SNG.
