The combustion characteristics of fuel-rich gas generator which could be adopted to Ducted Rocket propulsion system is investigated. The gas generator is designed considering the design requirements of propulsion system then solid fuel, which is developed by reducing the contents of oxidizer and increasing the contents of metallic solid particle, is loaded in the manufactured gas generator. The results of combustion test shows the necessity of the special analysis tool for estimating the gas generator performance where multi-phase flow of fuel-rich gas exists.

The combustion and flow-rate control characteristics of fuel-rich gas generator which could be adopted to Ducted Rocket propulsion system are investigated. The gas generator is designed considering the design requirements of propulsion system and solid fuel for fuel-rich combustion is developed then adopted to ground test. The results of combustion test show the necessity of the special analysis tool for estimating the gas generator performance where multi-phase flow of fuel-rich gas exists. During the flow-rate control test, characteristics of gas generator pressure with the angle of valve are analyzed and, method to estimate the pressure of gas generator is suggested using the relation between the valve exit area and discharge coefficient.

여러 가지 형태의 연소 불안정성 중에서 50-500Hz 사이에서 발생되며 길이방향 모드(longitudinal mode)로 특징이 있는 저주파수 불안정성이 램제트 혹은 재연소기(Afterburner)의 연소 불안정성에서 가장 중요한 것이라고 여겨진다. 본 논문에서는 램제트 흑은 재연소기에서 일어날 수 있는 길이 방향의 연소 불안정성을 Modal 해석법을 사용하여 수학적인 모델로 만들었다. 특히 이 모델의 선형형태는 어떤 형태든지 선형 속도에 민감한 Burning rate 모델을 사용할 수가 있어서 보다 포괄적인 형태로 만들어져 있으며, 이 모델을 이용하여 여러 가지 연소 형상과 불완전 연소 응답 등을 연구할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 실제 연소 형상과 유사한 삼각형 모양의 연소 형상을 사용하여 기존의 다른 모델들과 비교 분석하였다.

Pellets are manufactured using wood by-products. The combustion efficiency of pellets depends on the pellet manufacturing process, the types of materials mixed while manufacturing and the wood pellet stoves themselves. In this study, we developed a multi-layer combustor to be used in a wood pellet stove, for the purpose of reducing environmental pollution and energy waste due to incomplete combustion. The multi-layer combustor was designed to compensate for the shortcomings of existing combustors. A CAD (Computer Aided Design) model was verified using a 3D printer and a prototype was developed. The combustion experiments were conducted on commercial and proposed combustors using pellets of the same brand, manufacturing date, place and specifications. From the experiments, it was found that the proposed combustor produced the lowest carbon monoxide (CO) emission and highest thermal efficiency.

To verify the utilization of fluff refuse derived fuel (RDF) as energy source, the combustion charateristic has been studied by an experimental combustion furnace under various temperatures. The characteristics of flue gas, dust and residue from fluff RDF combustion has been analyzed and compared with those of pelletized RDF. From this work, it was found that the incomplete combustion of fluff RDF was greater than that of pelletized RDF because the combustion reaction rate of fluff RDF was faster than that of pelletized RDF, and oxgen concentration in fluff RDF combustion decreased rapidly. It was also found that carbon monoxide concentration of flue gas from fluff RDF combustion increased with combustion temperature because the oxygen consumption and the incomplete combustion increased. Therefore, it is felt that the combustion operation conditions of fluff RDF should be carefully determined.

석탄 직접연소의 신기술인 Cyclone 연소기술은 환경오염저감 기술증의 하나로서, 고온 연소로 인해 회분이 연소실 내부에서 용융, 제거된 후 고온의 청정연소가스만 보일러로 유입된다. 또한 연소기의 fuel-rich 연소조건하에서 생성된 고온의 불완전연소가스는 보일러 입구에서 충분한 재연소공기를 공급함으로서 완전연소시킬 수 있으므로 적은 시설투자 비용으로 기존 오일이나 가스용 보일러를 석탄용으로 전환이 용이할 뿐만 아니라 이러한 다단 연소방식을 채택하여 NOx 제어도 가능하다는 이점이 있다. Cyclone 연소기술의 개발은 석탄의 청정연소 뿐만 아니라 그 기술을 토대로 석탄가스화, MHD 발전, 가연성 폐기물 소각등에도 활용할 수 있다. 따라서 국내 기술자립을 위해 실험용 Cyclone 연소기를 설계, 제작 및 연소실험을 수행한 결과, Peco-semi탄을 연료로 공급량 약 30 kg/hr, 공기비 약 1.0 일 때 탄소전환율은 약 95% 이며 회분제거율은 약 70%임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Smoke from fire is a mixture of combustion gases and particles which include micro-droplets formed from condensed organic vapors and carbonaceous agglomerates. The inhalation of smoke particles causes adverse health effects, and it is prerequisite for the hazard and risk analysis of the smoke particles to know how they behaviour in the respiratory tract. The characteristics of the absorption and adsorption of toxic gases and the amount and location of the particle deposition within the respiratory tract that determine the adverse health effects are related to the morphology and the size distribution of smoke particles. In the present work, as a preliminary study for the adverse health effects of smoke particles, the morphologies of the smoke particles from combustible materials were investigated for each fire stage: smouldering, well-ventilated flaming, small under-ventilated flaming, fully-developed under-ventilated fire. The steady-state tube furnace method given in ISO/TS 19700 was used for the generation of smoke particles. The fire stages were controlled by changing furnace temperature and equivalent ratio. The morphologies were analyzed by using Transmission Electron Microscope (Bio-TEM) by collecting the particles on TEM grids put on each stage of a cascade impactor.

The interest of incineration, which is one of the effective methods for municipal waste disposal, has gradually increased because the incineration could reduce the volume and weight of the waste, and produce useful energy from the waste. This study has developed the 3-dimensional numerical model, and applied for the investigation of combustion characteristics and optimized operating conditions in MSW incinerator in Gwangju. The model developed in this study has been verified through the comparison between the predicted and the measured temperature in combustion chamber which is operating. By predictive results, the Sangmoo incinerator has a good characteristics of combustion efficiency and a low emission by the second burning in the main flame zone, even though after burning zone produces incomplete products by which primary air is introduced not enough.

Carbon Monoxide(CO) poisoning accident is higher than any other gas accident in the rate of deaths/incidents. In the last five years, 36 people died and 104 were wounded because of carbon monoxide poisoning accident. Most of these CO poisoning accidents were caused by defective exhaust tube in the old gas boiler and multi-use facility. In this study, the spread of incomplete combustion gas(CO) released from leakage hole of exhaust tube was analyzed by computational flow modeling and concentration measuring test. CO gas leaked form exhaust tube in a building was highest concentrated near the ceiling and formed the circular currents along the walls. Through these experiments and simulation, the reasonable installation location of carbon monoxide alarm was made certain and suggested.
