The lift-off characteristics of the triple flame within a diverging duct have been studied experimentally using a multi-slot burner, which can control the concentration gradient and the mean velocity independently. In this experiment the triple flame was stabilized successfully in lift-off condition and flame stabilization with a duct or without a duct, lift-off heights, and some other characteristics were examined for propane flame. It was examined that the effects with various concentration gradient and mean velocity on the triple flame. It was found that minimum value of the lift-off heights exist at a certain concentration gradient for constant mean velocity and flame with a duct is more stable than that without. Moreover the propagation velocity of the flame becomes maximum at a certain concentration gradient regardless of mean velocity.

The characteristics of flame stability have been studied experimentally using a slot burner. The blowout conditions of a fuel-lean premixed laminar flame, which is located in the middle of fuel-rich premixed laminar flames, are identified for propane, ethylene, and methane flames. The fuel-rich flames could stabilize the fuel-lean flame for the equivalence ratio as low as 0.2. The laminar flame speed along with the heat release rate is likely to be the important factor in stabilizing a fuel-lean flame. The increase of heat release rate on a fuel-rich flame lowers the equivalence ratio limit for the stable fuel-lean flames. The stability of fuel-lean flames, however, was not sensitive to the equivalence ratio of a fuel-rich flame.

We have presented characteristics of a transitional behavior from a premixed flame to a triple flame in a lifted flame according to the change of equivalence ratio. The experimental apparatus consisted of a slot burner and a contraction nozzle for a lifted flame. As concentration difference of the both side of slot burner increases, the shape of flame changed from a premixed flame to a triple flame, and the liftoff height decreased to the minimum value and then increased again. Around this minimum point, it is confirmed a transition regime from premixed flame to triple flame. Consequently, the experimental results of the liftoff height, flame curvature, and luminescence intensity showed that the stabilized laminar lifted flame regime is categorized by regimes of premixed flame, triple flame and critical flame.

화석 에너지 고갈에 따라 에너지의 합리적 이용이 요구되면서 가용 에너지를 고려한 열에너지의 계단식 활용이 적극적으로 검토되고 있다. 이와 같은 배경에서 1 kW 급의 스털링 엔진을 기반으로 한 열병합발전 시스템이 분산 에너지 시스템을 구축하는 단위로서 제안되었다. 1 kW 의 용량은 가정용에 적합하며, 가정에서 활용하기 위해서는 공간을 작게 차지하도록 하면서도 소음과 유해가스의 배출을 철저하게 차단해야 한다. 이러한 조건들을 충족시키며 효율이 높은 시스템을 개발하기 위하여 슬롯 형태의 예혼합 버너를 제안하였고 버너의 연소 특성을 파악하기 위하여 일련의 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 화염의 형상을 촬영하여 연소부하 및 공기비에 따른 연소 모드를 관찰하였고 배가스를 분석하여 연소 모드에 따른 배기 특성을 연구하였다.

In the paper we investigate characteristics of a transitional behavior from a premixed flame to a triple flame in a lifted flame according to the change of equivalence ratio. In previous study, we showed that the stabilized laminar lifted flame regime is categorized by regimes of premixed flame, triple flame and critical flame. A gas-chromatograph is used to measure concentration field, a smoke-wire system is used to measure streak line, and a PIV system is used to measure velocity field in lifted flame. In the visualization experiment of smoke wire, the flow divergence and redirection reappeared in premixed flame as well as triple flame. Thus we cannot express the flame front of lifted flame has a behavior of triple flame with only flow divergence and redirection. In PIV measurement, flow velocity for those three flames has minimum value at the tip of flame front. To differentiate triple flame and premixed flame, $\Phi$ value of partially premixed fraction is employed. The partially premixed fraction $\Phi$ was constant in premixed flame. In critical flame small gradient appears over the whole regime. In triple flame, typical diffusion flame shape is obtained as parabolic distribution type due to diffusion flame trailing.

The concentration gradient effects on triple flame have been studied experimentally using a slot burner in order to stabilize stationary triple flame in coflowing stream. By means of contraction we generate the coflowing stream with uniform velocity and linear concentration gradient at the outlet of the slot. In this paper we investigated the response of the triple flame. to the concentration gradient, like the stability, the liftoff height, and the structure of triple flame. Flow velocity is measured with Laser Doppler Velocimetry. As the concentration gradient increases. the flame propagation velocity in immediately upstream triple point increases until the liftoff height of triple flame becomes minimum, and then decreases.

Propagation rates ($U_{edge}$) of various premixed, twin edge-flames were measured as a function of global strain rate ($\sigma$), mixture strength, and Lewis number (Le). Using a counterflow slot-jet burner with electrical heaters at each end, both advancing (positive $U_{edge}$) and retreating (negative $U_{edge}$) edge-flames can be studied as they propagate along the long dimension of the burner. Experimental results are presented for premixed methane/air twin flames in terms of the effects of $\sigma$ on $U_{edge}$. Both low-$\sigma$ and high-$\sigma$ extinction limits were discovered for all mixtures tested. As a result, the domain of edge-flame stability was obtained in terms of heat loss factor and normalized flame thickness, and comparison with the numerical result of other researchers was also made. For low ($CH_4/O_2/CO_2$) and high ($C_3H_8$/air) Lewis number cases, propagation rates clearly show a strong dependence on Le.

A triple flame in a mixing layer was studied experimentally with concentration gradient and mean velocity by using a multi-slot burner, which can stabilize the lift-off flame. Flame stabilization condition, lift-off heights, and some other characteristics were examined for methane and propane flame within a range of very low concentration gradient. Pitot-tube and LDV(Laser Doppler Velocimetry) were used for velocity. Mass spectroscopy and Rayleigh scattering signal were used for concentration gradients. Thermo-couples and SiC TFP(Thin Filament Pyrometer) were used for temperature. It was found that minimum values of the lift-off heights exist at a certain concentration gradient for constant mean velocity and this means that the propagation velocity has a maximum value. The scales of flame to the burner nozzle and intensity variation of the diffusion flame were suspected as the cause.
