This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the combustion of single droplets and 1-D droplet arrays of jet A-1 fuel droplets in atmospheric pressure. Experimental results indicate that burning rate constants$({\kappa}_c)$ of jet A-1 fuel droplets were independent of initial droplet size as $0.915{mm}^2$/sec. It was acquired a general relationship expressing the variation of $d^2$ with time for droplet burning For 1-D droplet arrays $(l/d_o$=1.208{\sim}2.922)$/TEX>, the burning rate constant ${\kappa}_c$ decreased with decreasing droplet spacing $l/d_o$ and, The effect on combustion rate constant ${\kappa}_c$ was stronger to second fuel droplet than third fuel droplet with uniform droplet distance

본 연구에서는 고온 분위기 온도 및 대기압 하에서 액적의 급속가열과 연소가 가능한 고온 연소로 장치와 고속도 비디오 카메라를 이용하여 다조성 단일 액적 연소에 대해 고찰하였다. 그 결과 저비점 성분을 혼합한 경유의 액적은 기본적으로 입경의 2승 법칙에 의해서 감소되었으며, 그 과정에서 입경이 일시적으로 급속히 감소하는 현상이 보여짐과 더불어 연소기간도 단축되었다. 즉, 저비점 성분을 혼합한 경유의 액적은 미세폭발 현상에 의해 기존 디젤 연료에 비해 더 빨리 증발되고 연소가 되었다. 또한, 순수 파라핀계 및 함산소계 연료의 화염은 전체 연소기간동안 기존 경유의 화염에 비해 푸른색을 띠고 있어, 매연이 없는 연소를 입증해 주었다.

본 연구에서는 유화연료 액적의 연소시에 나타나는 일반적인 연소특성과 이에 미치는 압력의 영향에 대하여 실험적인 방법으로 연구를 수행하였다. 고압용기내에서 유화연료의 단일 액적을 연소시키면서 그 연소과정을 고속으로 촬영하여 분석하는 한편, 연소과정중의 액적 내부의 온도변화를 측정하였다. 고압 용기내의 압력은 대기압으로부터 10atm까지, 연료에 대한 물의 혼합비는 체적비로 0-20%까지 변화시키면서, 유화연료 액적의 연소특성에 미치는 물의 함량과 압력변화의 영향을 분석하였다.

The post chamber in hybrid rocket is installed to induce additional increase in combustion enthalpy by allowing continuous burning of the liquefied fuels. When paraffin wax fuel is used, unsteady pressure oscillations are observed only at the beginning of combustion. This study intends to investigate the effect of additional combustion of liquefied fuel droplets on the occurrence of unsteady pressure fluctuations. For this, the combustion in post-chamber was visualized and image analysis using POD(Proper Orthogonal Decomposition) technique was performed. In addition, the hypothesis was proposed on the occurrence of unsteady pressure oscillations by identifying the modes including the behavior of droplets through mode reconstruction. Conducting a series of combustion tests, the amount of liquefied fuel flowing into the post chamber and the generation of fuel droplets were controlled. Also, the changes in frequency characteristic of unsteady pressure oscillation were monitored. As a result, the unsteady pressure oscillations observed in paraffin wax combustion were the result of additional combustion of fuel droplets generated in the post chamber.

The auto-ignition characteristics and combustion behaviors of one-dimensional array of water-in-fuel droplets suspended in a high temperature chamber have been investigated experimentally with various droplet spacing and number of droplets. The fuels used were pure n-decane and emulsified n-decane with water contents varied from 10% to 30%. All experiments have been performed at 920 K under the atmospheric pressure. The number of droplets in an array were fixed as 3 or 5 and its spacing was varied from 3 mm to 7 mm by 1mm interval. The imaging technique with a high-speed camera has been adopted to measure the ignition delay and flame life time. The micro-explosion behaviors were also observed. As the droplet array sparing increased, the ignition delay also increased regardless of water contents. However, the life time of droplet array decreased as the droplet spacing increased. The full combustion time in array of 3 droplets was found to be longer than that for 5 droplets case due to the longer ignition delay.

In order to provide a useful data of combustion chamber design, a numerical analysis for spray combustion of fuel and oxidizer in combustion chamber has been conducted. As a spray model, the DSF model and the Euler-Lagrange scheme have been used. The change of droplet temperature has been calculated considering droplet heating. The coupling effects between and the gas phase the droplets, and between the gas phase and the evaporated vapor have been calculated using the PSIC model.

This study was performed to provide the information of the soot formation behavior of octane single fuel droplet under the identical combustion conditions. To achieve this, this experimental study provide the results of the soot formation characteristics of octane droplet in accordance with different initial droplet diameter($d_0$), at the same time, experiment was conducted under the same combustion conditions which are 1.0atm of ambient pressure($P_{amb}$), 21% of oxygen concentration($O_2$) and 79% of nitrogen concentration($N_2$). Visualization of octane droplet combustion was performed by visualization system with high speed camera. The results of maximum soot volume fraction($f_{vmax}$) was almost the same under the equivalent ambient conditions regardless of initial droplet diameter. Furthermore, maximum soot volume fraction was showed the higher value in the measuring direction between $135^{\circ}$ and $315^{\circ}$ since the soot-tail is generated during two opposing igniters movement process.

A theoretical analysis is carried out to predict the characteristics of transient ignition phenomena for the spherical fuel droplets cloud with non-uniform droplet size and number density distribution. Numerical calculations are performed for various cases depending on the combinations of the major parameters such as ambient temperature and initial distributions of droplet size and number density. The results of present study show that the ignition delay decreases for higher ambient temperature and smaller droplet size. Droplets cloud of hollow type with outer concentrated distribution ignites most rapidly.
