Combustion measurements based on optical techniques have recently become of major interest as tools not only for clarifying the combustion mechanism but also for validating the computational results for the combustion fields. In this study, the particle behavior in turbulent pulverized coal flame are investigated using advanced optical diagnostics. A laboratory-scale pulverized coal combustion burner is specially fabricated as open type in order to apply various optical measurement techniques. The detailed particle behavior is performed by LDV (laser Doppler velocimetry) and SDPA (shadow Doppler particle analyzer). It is observed that the particle mean diameter increase as the distance from burner increases, and this is found to be caused by the decrease of small particles' diameter and increase of large particles' diameter. This is because of result in the char reaction and the particle swelling due to devolatilization, respectively. The size-classified streamwise velocities of pulverized coal particles in the central region of the jet show the same magnitude, whereas those in the outer region are different depending on the particle size. The results show that the velocity and size-classified diameter of the pulverized coal particles in the flame can be measured well by SDPA.

본 연구는 석탄가스화기내의 비반응 유동장에 대한 연구로서, 순수유동장 및 미분탄입자를 포함한 이상유동장에 대한 전산해석을 수행하였다. 가스화기내의 물리적 현상을 기술하는 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 유한차분법에 의하여 해석하고 그 결과를 나타내었다. 특히 선회유동의 영향에 의한 미분탄입자의 거동 및 재순환영역의 특성에 대하여 상세히 고찰하였다. 해석결과에 의하면 가스화기내에서는 몇개의 재순환영역이 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. 비반응유동장의 해석결과이지만, 선회유동은 화염안정화에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있을 것으로 추측되는 결과를 보였다.

Fine $BaTiO_3$ powder was synthesized from the various starting solution with 0.05 M by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method. The conditions of synthesis were fixed on flow rate was 0.5 cm/sec, low temperature furnace was $300^{\circ}C$, and high temperatures furnace was $700^{\circ}C$. The formation procedure was investigated directly by SEM with the collected particle from the each reaction step. Also, the trace of particle in reaction tube was researched theoretically. Fine $BaTiO_3$ was synthesized only in the case of nitrate aqueous solution. The synthesized $BaTiO_3$ powder was porous and spherical which was consist of primary particle at the size of 19.1 nm. The formation procedure was as follows : the particle size decreased in drying step and then increased in initial thermal decomposition step. Finally, particle size was decreased to $0.42 {mu}m$. The trace of particle in reaction tube was also theoretically simulated and discussed.

This study describes to analyze the pressure drop characteristics for the air-particle flow in pneumatic coal powder conveying system and to proper design of the orifice located in the system to enhance combustion efficiency in furnace of the coal-fired power plant. Usually the system consists of the straight type pipe, the curved type pipe and the elbow, which cause increase of the pressure drop. In this study, the pressure drop arised in the system with straight and curved type pipes is analyzed with interactions of motion of air flow and particles. It is realized that total pressure drop increases with increasing of the pipe length and the angle of curved type pipe due to friction loss of air and particles in the system. The program for analysis of the pressure drop and optimum design of the orifice size for air flow control in the system is developed. The result is also compared with the existing system.

In this study, the effect of particle size on the combustion characteristics of pulverized sub-bituminous coal was experimentally investigated. A laminar-flow-entrained reactor was designed and implemented to realize the desired heating ratio and temperature corresponding to the combustion atmosphere of a pulverized-coal-fueled furnace. The flame length and structure of burning particles according to different sizes were investigated. Coal combustion processes were clearly distinguished by direct visual observation of the flame structure. The onset point of volatile ignition is greatly affected by changes in the particle size, and the burning time of the volatiles is least affected by changes in the particle size. The length and instability of char flame also increase with the increase of the particle size. However, the char consumption rate within the residential time remains nearly constant.

This paper presents an experimental analysis of the growth and oxidation processes of soot particles generated in an isooctane diffusive laminar flame due to incomplete combustion. The effects of iron-based diagnostics were employed to measure the elastic scattering light from soot particles in a flame at different flame heights, and the differential scattering coefficients were calculated through a calibration process. The growth and oxidation of soot particles in flame was investigated by comparing differential scattering coefficients, and the soot volume fraction was seen to decrease in the soot oxidation process. In the same manner, the differential scattering coefficients were calculated for iron-based fuel-additive seeded flame, and these coefficients were revealed to be smaller than those obtained in the fuel-additive unseeded flame. In addition, transmission through the radial direction of the flame was measured, and transmission in the soot oxidation regime was approximately 5% higher for the seeded flame. The propensity of the data coincided well with the differential scattering coefficients, and it can be concluded that the iron component of the fuel additive plays a crucial role as a catalyst, which eventually enhanced soot particle oxidation.

Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) in this study is composed of sand, cement, silica fume, siliceous powder, superplasticizer and steel fiber. UHPC is composed of fine mineral particles below 0.5mm in diameter. In general, siliceous powder improves the mechanical properties of concrete by physical and chemical effect. Physical effect is related with filling interior voids which weaken the mechanical properties and chemical effect with reaction of $SiO_2$ with cement hydrates in a condition of high temperature and pressure. We evaluated the effect of siliceous powder's particle size on the mechanical properties of ultra high performance concrete in air pressure and $90^{\circ}C$ steam curing condition. siliceous powder's particle size in this study is in the range of $2{\mu}m$ to $26{\mu}m$. Fluidity in a fresh concrete, compressive strength, ultimate strain, elastic modulus and flexural strength in a hardened concrete was evaluated. We could find out that the smaller siliceous powder's particle size is, the better the fluidity and strength properties.

향상되어진 93-PCGC-2는 기존의 PCGC-2와 같이 미분탄 연소를 포함하는 다양한 반응성흐름과 비반응성 흐름을 설명하기 위해 2차원 정상상태 모델로 제시되어 졌다. 93-PCGC-2는 실린더형의 축 대칭계에 응용되어질 수 있고, 난류(Turbulence)는 유체역학식과 연소기구 양쪽을 위해 고려되어졌으며, 불연속 세로좌표 방법(Discrete Ordinates Method)을 이용하여 기체, 벽 및 입자들로부터의 복사열(Radiation)을 모사하였다. 입자상은 입자 무리들의 평균 경로들을 따라 해석하는 Lagrangian계의 해석법으로 모델화되어졌다. 석탄의 팽윤(Swelling)과 촤의 반응성에 관한 부모델과 더불어 새롭게 일반화된 석탄 탈휘발화 부모델 (FG-DVC)도 첨가되어졌다. 비균일 반응기구는 확산과 화학반응 둘 모두를 고려하였다. 주요 기상반응은 국부 순간 평형을 가정하여 모델화하였다. 그래서 반응속도는 혼합의 난류속도에 의해 제한되어진다. Thermal NOx과 Fuel NOx의 유한속도 화학론(Finite Rate Chemstry)에 대한 부모델은 화학반응속도론와 난류성의 통계치를 통합하여 만들어져 있다. 기상은 반복적인 line-by-line기교에 의해 풀려지는 elliptic partial differential equation으로 묘사되어진다. 수치적인 안정을 고려하기 위해 under-relaxation이 이용되어졌다. 이렇게 코드화된 93-PCGC-2는 연소를 위해 모사되어졌다. 또한 더 나아가 이 수치모델의 활용범위는 미분탄의 가스화에도 활용되어질 것으로 기대되어진다.

A three-dimensional model has been developed for pulverized coal combusters and gasifiers. Coal devolatilization, heterogeneous char oxidation, gas particle interchange, radiation, gas phase oxidation, primary and secondary stream mixing, and heat losses are considered. A finite difference method was used to solve the ordinary non-linear differential equations. The effects of primary and secondary stream flow ratio and coal particle size are investigated.
