A series of computational simulations have been carried out for non-reacting and reacting flows in channel-type and divergent scramjet combustor configurations with and without a cavity. Transverse injection of hydrogen is considered with the injection pressure varying from 0.5 to 1.5 MPa. The detailed resolution of the oscillatory flow and flame dynamics are captured at sufficient scale to identify the underlying physical mechanisms, and the role of combustor configuration, cavity and amount of heat addition could be understood.

This paper describes experimental results on combustion characteristics with hydrogen contents of synthetic natural gas (SNG) in low swirl combustor. To investigate the effect of hydrogen contents for premixed SNG flame, stability map, CH chemiluminescence images, flame spectrum analysis and emission performances were measured. In the results, as the hydrogen content was increased, the lean flammable limit was expanded and the flame length was decreased. The hydrogen contents affected the flame liftoff height, and it has different tendency according to the equivalence ratio and flame shape. The change of height and length of flame according to hydrogen contents is caused by the fast burning velocity of hydrogen, which can be confirmed by GRI 3.0 reaction mechanism in PREMIX code. The intensity of $OH^*$, $CH^*$ and $C_2^*$ was confirmed by spectrum analysis of flame. As a result, the $CH^*$ intensity was not significantly different according to hydrogen content. The increase of hydrogen contents influenced positively CO and NOx emission performances.

Hydrogen with high chemical reactivity and combustion efficiency, is expected to reduce greenhouse gas and CO emission. However, there is a problem of increase in NOx emission due to hydrogen combustion. MILD combustion technology has been proposed to resolve NOx emission. In this study, the characteristics of MILD combustion and NOx formation by flue gas recirculation (KV) in CH₄-H₂ mixture were analyzed and predicted using 0D premixed combustion model. The ignition delay time became shorter as the hydrogen co-firing rate increased, and longer as the recirculation rate increased. For NOx emission, EINO decreased as the KV increased, but EINO increased as the hydrogen co- firing rate increased. In particular, EINO was predicted to increase significiently above 80% hydrogen. Through the pathway analysis of NO formation, it was found that the influence of N₂O intermediate route and NNH route was enhanced for hydrogen co-firing.

In this paper, the heat-transfer characteristics of steam reforming in an annular reactor are presented. Heat is supplied by the catalytic combustion of syn-gas. The thermal behaviors of exothermic and endothermic reactions in a directly coupled concentric-tube packed-bed reactor were investigated experimentally. The gas mixture supplied for catalytic combustion consisted of the off-gas emitted from MCFC anode. Methane in steam at a suitable S/C (steam-to-carbon) ratio was used in the reforming reactions. On the basis of the experimental results, a simple simulation was performed to predict the temperature profile required in the reforming side of the reactor to achieve optimum hydrogen yield. The results of this study may be utilized as reference data in future studies for further development of coupled reactors.

일반적으로 탄화수소를 비롯해 가연성물질은 쉽게 연소하거나 폭발한다. 특히 가스는 공정에서 가연성물질을 취급에 있어 밸브의 조작실수, 배관접합부파손 등으로 인해 누출된 물질이 주위에 공기와 혼합하여 착화원에 의해 화재 및 폭발이 발생할 수도 있으며, 또한 유해물질 상태로 유출되어 인명에 피해를 주는 경우도 있다. 산업현장에서 화재 및 폭발의 위험을 최소화하기 위해서는 공정의 안전과 최적화 조작이 이루어 져야 하는데, 이를 위해 우선 작업 조건 하에서 취급물질의 연소 특성치 파악이 필요하다/sup 1)/.(중략)

In this study, the transient responses of hydrogen sensor against abrupt hydrogen release was experimentally studied for three most common types of hydrogen sensors, i.e. the semiconductor type, electrochemical type, and catalytic combustion type. The experimental study was conducted using a 1% hydrogen - 99% nitrogen mixture gas as the standard gas, while the temperature and relative humidity (RH) of the mixture gas was varied from $25^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$ and from 50% to 100%, respectively. The temperature of the mixture gas was found to influence the output signal levels of hydrogen sensors, especially the catalytic combustion type. However, the effect of RH on the sensor response was not noticeable in the present experimental study. Thus, the signal levels of hydrogen sensors, in case of catalytic gas sensor need to be calibrated dependent on gas temperature, when the accurate determination of hydrogen concentration is important.

The combustion and smoke emission of an indirect injection diesel engine Were investigated running the engine on Hydrogen/diesel fuels. Hydrogen fuel supplied to the intake pipe was varied 0 to 10 percent of DF2' s heating value. The most inportant finding was that the smoke emission is not decreased with increase of hydrogen fuel supplement. Also, the ignition delay is almost negligible over 10 percent hydrogen fuel mixture.

Hydrogen-compressed natural gas (HCNG) blend has attracted attention as a fuel that can reduce $CO_2$ emissions because it has low carbon content and burns efficiently. An increase in the compression ratio of HCNG engines was considered as one of the methods to improve their efficiency and reduce $CO_2$ emissions. However, a high combustion rate and flame temperature cause abnormal combustion such as pre-ignition or knocks, which in turn can cause damage to the engine components and decrease the engine power. In this study, the performance and knock characteristics with a change in the compression ratio of an HCNG engine were analyzed. The combustion characteristics of HCNG fuel were evaluated as a function of the excess air ratio using a conventional CNG engine. The effects of the compression ratio on the engine performance were evaluated through the same experimental procedures.
