본 연구에서는 최근 차량용 대체연료로서 주목받고 있는 천연가스의 연소특성을 규명하기 위해 밀폐된 정적연소실을 이용, 당량비, 초기압력 및 점화위치 변화에 따른 연소실험을 행하였으며, 그 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 메탄-공기 예혼합기의 화염전파과정은 이론혼합기 부근에서 구면형으로 진행되는데 반해, 과농 또는 과박 혼합기 그리고 점화위치가 연소실 벽면에 가까울수록 타원형으로 진행되며, 초기압력이 증가함에 따라 화염전파는 느려진다. 화염전파속도와 연소 속도는 초기압력이 낮고 점화위치가 연소실 중심에 가까울수록 빠르며, 당량비 1.0∼1.1 사이에서 최대치를 보인다.

A computational fluid dynamics simulation of pyrotechnic material combustion inside a cylindrical closed vessel was carried out using the Eulerian-Lagrangian method. The 5th order upwind WENO scheme and the improved delayed detached eddy turbulence model were implemented to capture shock waves. The flow structure was analyzed inside the cylindrical vessel with a pressure sensor installed at the side wall center. The analysis revealed that the pressure oscillated because of the shock wave vibration. Additionally, the simulation results with four different sensor tab depths implied that, inside the sensor tab, eddies were generated by the excessively large gap between the sensor diaphragm and the side wall. These eddies caused irregularity to the measured time-pressure curve, which is an undesirable characteristic.

The reactive Eulerian-Lagrangian code is utilized to simulate combustion of ZPP/THPP in a closed vessel. In the paper, ignition delay of THPP is mainly studied since ZPP and THPP are isolated by a boron nitride wall. Only a numerical case study is conducted as experimental observation is inaccessible. Results showed THPP ignition delay affects initial shock strength thus not only the first peak become weak, but also the frequency of a pressure oscillation is slowed.

The burning rate estimation method of solid propellants, based on closed bomb tests, has been introduced. The composition of the combustion gas is determined by using CEA and the Noble-Abel equation of state for high pressure operation conditions. Covolume taking into account the collision among molecules due to the actual volume of the molecule is modeled by LJ potential. A cubic form function is applied to calculate the volume change of propellant grains during combustion. The estimated burning rates of five different grain configuation at high pressure are fairly compared with BRLCB results within the maximum error of 6%.

The estimation method of combustion efficiency has been introduced by using closed bomb test(CBT). The Noble-Abel equation of state was applied to consider the real gas effects to take account of high operation pressure about a couple of 100 atm. of CBT. The heat loss through the CBT wall was considered. The volume change of grain was calculated by applying form functions, which estimated combustion efficiency of 8 different gain shapes. The combustion estimation method proposed in this study was fairly validated by the comparision with the pressure-time history data of the CBT experiments. The effects of both grain shape and propellant loading density were analyzed.

자동차엔진의 연소과정에 상사하는 밀폐정적연소실을 주연소실과 대향 2개 부연소실로 분할하고 오리피스로 연결하였다. 이때 부연소실로부터 주연소실로 분출하는 대향분출염 연소에 의한 질소산화물 배출저감특성을 연소방식, 연소실형상 그리고 연료종류를 변경한 수종의 실험으로 조사하였다. 질소산화물농도, 연소실 최고압력, 화염전파과정의 고속도슐리렌사진 가시화를 수행한 결과, 대향분출염 연소방식을 도입하연 연소실의 중앙부공간이 상대적으로 넓은 경우에 고부하운전과 동시에 질소산화물의 배출량도 저감할 수 있었다. 그러나 연료의 종류는 질소산화물생성에 매우 영향이 적었다.

It is well accepted that modem emulsion explosives are intrinsically much less sensitive than traditional products such as dynamites or black powder. However, they have still been involved in a significant number of accidental explosions. In October 1975, Canadian Research, Limited's, Energetic Research Laboratory in Quebec exploded. Although explanations for the incident varied, one logical explanation was that the pump used in transporting the emulsion dead headed, thereby turning mechanical work in to frictional heating under a zero flow rate. There is a minimum pressure required for combustion(MBP) to propagate in emulsion explosives. A stable deflagration may lead to a deflagration-to-detonation transition(DDT) in emulsion explosives. Tests were also performed on sensitized sampled consisting of 6 to 21% waters as well as 1 to 11% aluminium powder. It was founded the emulsion explosives consisting of 6% waters had the lowest minimum homing pressure(MBP) of 3 bar, and the 21% waters were unable to achieve sustained homing at pressures as high as 100 bar. The aluminium contained explosives tested here displayed a MBP higher than that of without emulsion. It appears that this test may offer a firm ground for the classification of emulsion explosives in view of the regulating the hazards associated with the various process used for their manufacturing and transport.

Precise modeling and analysis of closed bomb test(CBT) combustion using solid propellants was performed. The fluid structure interaction(FSI) method was implemented to analyze the gas and solid phases at the same time. The Eulerian analysis method was applied for the gas phase and grain combustion, and the Lagrangian analysis method was implemented for the grain movement. The interaction between the solid phase grains and the combustion gas was fully coupled through the source term. The volume of fluid(VOF) method was used to simulate the burning distance of the grain and the movement of the combustion surface. The force acting on the grain was comprised of the pressure and gravity acting on the grain burning surface, and the grain burning rate and grain movement speed were considered in the velocity term of the VOF. The combustion analysis was performed for both one and three grains, and fairly compared with the experiments. The acoustic field during grain combustion due to pressure fluctuations was also analyzed.

In this study, chlorophylls were been extracted from common local plants, deposited on polypropylene (PP) substrate using various approaches, and the oxygen generation effect of the chlorophylls were investigated. The loading of chlorophylls on the substrates was achieved by dipping and spraying methods, where the spraying coating showed overall better results regarding oxygen generation from the combustion experiments in the closed vessel or in the isolated vacuum oven cell than those of dip coating. In addition, a composite substrate was prepared by nylon6/6 nanofiber on the PP substrate, and it exhibited an increase in the activation of chlorophylls. In the case of samples containing titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$), the reaching time of oxygen concentration from 16% to 21% and the combustion test using a candle for a sample with 50% chlorophylls showed similar results to those of a sample without $TiO_2$. As such, combining a spray coating and $TiO_2$ incorporation into gas separation membrane systems are expected to be useful to understand the fundamentals of material properties for their applications as oxygen generation membranes and air filtration systems.
