The present study deals with experimental investigations on the syngas-oxygen combustion characteristics of a swirl-stabilized premixed flame in a 10 kW combustor. The effect of hydrogen in syngas has been investigated with different swirl angles to identify the role of hydrogen and swirl strength on the flame stability and CO emissions. The results show that hydrogen addition extended the blowout limit while narrowing the flashback limit. The dependence of blowout on the swirl angle is negligible while the dependence of flashback on the swirl angle is evidenced by two regimes depending on the amount of hydrogen. CO emission is decreased with increasing excess $O_2$ supply or increasing hydrogen content. Chemiluminescence diagnostics is utilized to provide information on the structure of a swirl-stabilized premixed flame. The OH chemiluminescence intensity is more concentrated near the burner exit with an increase in the hydrogen content, which results from high reactivity of hydrogen.

본 연구에서는 VIStA (Vortex Inertial Staged Air) 버너를 개조하여 관류보일러에 적용하였다. 2차 공기를 노즐을 통해 공급하던 원형과 달리 선회기를 통해 공급함으로써 화염을 안정화하고 일산화탄소(CO)의 발생량을 저감하였다. 그러나, 이러한 개조과정에서 질소산화물(NOx)의 발생이 증가하는 문제가 발생하였다. CO와 NOx 발생량을 함께 제어하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 화염분할을 적용하였다. VIStA 버너는 2개의 연소실이 있고 각각의 연소실에 공급되는 공기량을 댐퍼로 조절하며 3가지 종류의 화염분할 장치를 설계, 장착하여 공기비, 연소부하에 따른 연소 특성을 파악하였다. 화염분할을 통하여 CO 농도 증가는 10 ppm 이내로 유지하면서 NOx의 발생량은 25%까지 저감하는 결과를 얻었다.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency and the prediction accuracy of developed large eddy simulation (LES) program for complex turbulent flows, such as recirculating and swirling flows. To save the computational cost, a Beowulf cluster system consisting 16 processors was constructed. The flows in backward-facing step and dump combustor were examined as representative recirculating and swirling flows. Firstly, a direct numerical simulation (DNS) for laminar backward-facing step flows was previously conducted to validate the overall performance of program. Then LES was carried out for turbulent backward-facing step flows. The results of laminar flow showed a qualitative and quantitative agreement between simulations and experiments. The simulations of the turbulent flow also showed reasonable results. Secondly, LES results for non-swirling and swirling flows in a dump combustor were compared with the results of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) using standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model. The results show that LES has a better performance in predicting the mean axial and azimuthal velocities, comer recirculation zone (CRZ) and center toroidal recirculation zone (CTRZ) than those of RANS. Finally, it was examined the capability of LES for the description of unsteady phenomena.

The present study numerically investigate the effects of the Syngas chemical kinetics on the basic flame properties and the structure of the Syngas diffusion flames. In order to realistically represent the turbulence-chemistry interact ion and the spatial inhomogeneity of scalar dissipation rate. the Eulerian Particle Flamelet Model(EPFM) with multiple flamelets has been applied to simulate the combustion processes and NOx formation in the syngas turbulent nonpremixed flames. Due to the ability for interactively describing the transient behaviors of local flame structures with CFD solver, the EPFM model can effectively account for the detailed mechanisms of NOx format ion including thermal NO path, prompt and nitrous NOx format ion, and reburning process by hydrocarbon radical without any ad-hoc procedure. validation cases include the Syngas turbulent nonpremixed jet and swirling flames. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussion has been made for the sensitivity of the Syngas chemical kinetics as well as the precise structure and NOx formation characteristics of the turbulent Syngas nonpremixed flames.

The effects of hydrogen enrichment to methane have been investigated with swirl-stabilized premixed hydrogen-enriched methane flame in a laboratory-scale pre-mixed combustor. The hydrogen-enriched methane fuel and air were mixed in a pre-mixer and introduced to the combustor through different degrees of swirl vanes. The flame characteristics were examined for different amount of hydrogen addition to the methane fuel and different swirl strengths. The hydrogen addition effects and swirl intensity on the combustion characteristics of pre-mixed methane flames were examined using micro-thermocouple, particle image velocity meter (PIV) and chemiluminescence techniques to provide information about flow field. The results show that the flame area increases at upstream of reaction zone because of increase in ignition energy from recirculation flow for increase in swirl intensity. The flame area is also increased at the downstream zone by recirculation flow because of increase in swirl intensity which results in higher centrifugal force. The higher combustibility of hydrogen makes reaction faster, raises the temperature of reaction zone and expands the reaction zone, consequently recirculation flow to reaction zone is reduced. The temperature of reaction zone increases with hydrogen addition even though the adiabatic flame temperature of the mixture gas decreases with increase in the amount of hydrogen addition in this experiment condition because the higher combustibility of hydrogen reduces the cooler recirculation flow to the reaction zone.

Development of a small gas-turbine combustor for 100㎾ class APU(Auxiliary Power Unit) has been performed. This combustor is a reverse-annular type and has a tangential swiller in the liner head to improve the fuel/air mixing and flame stability. Three main and three pilot fuel injectors of the simplex pressure-swirl type are used. The performance target at the design condition includes a turbine inlet temperature of l170k, a combustion efficiency of 99%, a pattern factor of 30%, and an engine durability of 3000 hours. Under developing the combustor, we conducted the performance test of our first prototype(TS1) with some variants. As a result of the test, the performance targets of the combustor are satisfied except that the pattern factor is about 4% higher than the target value. Therefore, the second prototype(TS2) was redesigned and the performance test was conducted with the critical focus on the pattern factor and the exit mean temperature. We adopted TS2 four variants to check the improvement of the pattern factor. As a result, the pattern factors of several variants were satisfied with the performance target. Finally, the TS2A variant was chosen as a final combustor fur our APU model.

하수슬러지의 열화학적 처리는 수분을 제거하여 연료로 사용되는 하수슬러지의 수분 함량을 낮추어 주는 기술이다. 열화학적 처리된 하수슬러지는 열량이 높아지기 때문에 에너지 집약적 과정이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 공정 중에 소비되는 에너지를 절약하기 위해 하수슬러지의 수열 탄화 공정을 사용하였다. 수열탄화 공정은 하수슬러지를 사전 건조 없이 깨끗한 고체연료로 전환할 수 있다. 본 연구는 수열탄화 하수슬러지와 미분탄 연소 시스템의 혼소 특성을 조사하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 혼소 시 생성되는 유해물질 및 연소 효율의 변화를 측정하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구에 사용 된 연소 시스템은 $80kW_{th}$급 연소로로서 1기의 선회류 버너가 장착되어 있다. 두 가지의 석탄을 주 연료로 사용하였고, 하수슬러지의 혼소율은 열량 기준 0% ~ 10%까지 진행하였다. 실험 결과 $NO_x$는 400 ~ 600 ppm, $SO_x$는 600 ~ 700 ppm 사이를 유지하였고, CO는 100 ppm 전후로 일정하게 유지되어 안정적인 연소를 확인할 수 있었다. 하수슬러지를 혼소할 경우, 혼소율이 증가할수록 $NO_x$와 $SO_x$의 배출량도 증가하였으나 그 편차가 크지 않았다. 연소 배가스에 포함된 오염 물질 배출은 혼소 비율 보다 주 연료인 석탄의 조성에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The effects of combustion instability on flow structure and flame dynamics with the inlet configurations in a model gas turbine combustor were investigated using large eddy simulation (LES). A G-equation flamelet model was employed to simulate the unsteady flame behaviors. As a result of mean flow field, the change of divergent half angle($\alpha$) at combustor inlet results in variations in the size and shape of the central toroidal recirculation (CTRZ) as well as the flame length by changing corner recirculation zone (CRZ). The case of ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$ show smaller size and upstream location of CTRZ than those of $90^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ by the development of higher swirl velocity. The flame length in the case of ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$ is shorter than other cases, while the case of ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$ yields the longest flame length due to the decrease of effective reactive area with the absence of CRZ. Through the analysis of pressure fluctuation, it was identified that the case of ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$ shows the largest damping effect of pressure oscillation in all configurations and brings in the noise reduction of 2.97dB, compared to that of ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$ having the largest pressure oscillation. These reasons were discussed in detail through the analysis of unsteady phenomena related to recirculation zone and flame surface. Finally the effects of flame-acoustic interaction were evaluated using local Rayleigh parameter.

$GO_2$/kerosene을 추진제로 하는 로켓엔진 개발에 사용된 swirl-coaxial injector의 점화초기 및 소염시에 발생하는 파손 원인을 규명하고자 실험용 인젝터를 제작하여 추진제간의 운동량비를 1-12 범위에서 변화시켜가며 화염 부상 거리를 실험적으로 측정하였다. 실험에 사용된 인젝터는 kerosene을 인젝터의 중심에서 접선형 선회기를 통하여 분사되도록 하였으며 그 주위로 $GO_2$를 연소실의 축방향에 수평하게 분사되도록 설계하였다. 연소압을 대기압으로 하여 실험하였으며, 캠코더로 촬영된 이미지로부터 화염의 순간상들을 얻어 측정한 후 이를 평균하여 화염부상거리를 구하였다. 본 연구에서는 추진제간의 운동량비 증가에 따라 화염 부상 거리가 증가함을 알 수 있었으며, 추진제간의 운동량비가 과다하게 커지는 경우 분무에 간섭을 일으켜 인젝터 파손의 원인이 됨을 알 수 있었으며, 안정적인 연소시스템 및 인젝터 설계를 위해서는 점화초기 및 소염시 추진제의 공급운동량을 제어할 수 있는 제어시스템이 필수적임을 알 수 있었다.
