A multi-step quasi-global mechanism is developed for the kerosene/oxygen combustion analysis including dissociation products. Reaction constants of the global reaction are determined to have agreement with experimental data. The mechanism is used for the numerical analysis of the combustion flow field of the kerosene/oxygen shear coaxial injector. The results from high-resolution numerical analysis confirmed qualitatively that the recess enhance the fuel/air mixing and combustion efficiency by the increased flow instabilities.

제어봉이탈사고시의 핵연료봉 거동을 연구로에서의 반응도사고 모사실험 결과와 기존의 핵연료 손상기준을 비교하여 분석하였다. 반응도사고시 고연소도 핵연료의 손상은 주로 PCMI 기구로 발생하는데, 고연소도에서의 피복관의 부식 및 수소화 그리고 방사선조사에 의한 연성감소와 산화층 박리로 인한 수소화합물의 국부적인 집중화로 인한 피복관의 현저한 연성감소가 주요 원인이었다. 기존의 핵연료 손상 기준에서 DNB가 일어날때 핵연료 손상이 발생한다는 가정은 낮은 핵연료엔탈피에서 핵연료 손상이 일어나는 것과 동일함을 확인하였으며, 현재까지 발표된 실험자료와 핵연료손상기구의 분석을 통해 연소도에 따른 반응도사고시의 핵연료손상기준을 예비적으로 유도하였다. 핵연료손상은 낮은 연소도에는 DNB로 발생하고 고연소도에서는 PCMI로 발생할수 있기 때문에, 과도상태에서의 고연소도 핵연료의 건전성 유지를 위해서는 피복관 산화층의 박리로 인한 수소화합물의 집중화로 피복관의 연성이 감소되는 것을 방지할 필요가 있다.

향상되어진 93-PCGC-2는 기존의 PCGC-2와 같이 미분탄 연소를 포함하는 다양한 반응성흐름과 비반응성 흐름을 설명하기 위해 2차원 정상상태 모델로 제시되어 졌다. 93-PCGC-2는 실린더형의 축 대칭계에 응용되어질 수 있고, 난류(Turbulence)는 유체역학식과 연소기구 양쪽을 위해 고려되어졌으며, 불연속 세로좌표 방법(Discrete Ordinates Method)을 이용하여 기체, 벽 및 입자들로부터의 복사열(Radiation)을 모사하였다. 입자상은 입자 무리들의 평균 경로들을 따라 해석하는 Lagrangian계의 해석법으로 모델화되어졌다. 석탄의 팽윤(Swelling)과 촤의 반응성에 관한 부모델과 더불어 새롭게 일반화된 석탄 탈휘발화 부모델 (FG-DVC)도 첨가되어졌다. 비균일 반응기구는 확산과 화학반응 둘 모두를 고려하였다. 주요 기상반응은 국부 순간 평형을 가정하여 모델화하였다. 그래서 반응속도는 혼합의 난류속도에 의해 제한되어진다. Thermal NOx과 Fuel NOx의 유한속도 화학론(Finite Rate Chemstry)에 대한 부모델은 화학반응속도론와 난류성의 통계치를 통합하여 만들어져 있다. 기상은 반복적인 line-by-line기교에 의해 풀려지는 elliptic partial differential equation으로 묘사되어진다. 수치적인 안정을 고려하기 위해 under-relaxation이 이용되어졌다. 이렇게 코드화된 93-PCGC-2는 연소를 위해 모사되어졌다. 또한 더 나아가 이 수치모델의 활용범위는 미분탄의 가스화에도 활용되어질 것으로 기대되어진다.

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) was peformed for the backdraft occurred in a compartment filled with high-temperature methane fuel using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) of version 6. The prediction performance of FDS, adopted the Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) combustion model with five different chemical reaction mechanisms, was evaluated. The temporal distributions of temperature, fuel mass fraction, velocity and pressure were discussed with numerical results and the pressure variation in time was compared with that of previous experiment. The FDS adopted the EDC model showed the possibility of LES for the backdraft phenomena. However, the prediction performance of the LES with EDC model strongly depended on the chemical reaction mechanism considered. It is necessary that the suitability of the chemical reaction mechanism should be validated in advance for LES with the FDS v6 to be applied to the simulation of backdraft.

The numerical analysis of the reduction of reaction mechanism for the ignition of dimethyl ether (DME) was performed. On the basis of a detailed reaction mechanism involving 79 species and 351 reactions, the peak molar concentration and sensitivity analysis were conducted in a homogeneous reactor model. The reduced reaction mechanism involving 44 species and 166 reactions at the threshold value $7.5{\times}10^{-5}$ of the molar peak concentration was established by comparing the ignition delays the reduced mechanism with those the detailed mechanism. The predicted results of the reduced mechanism applied to the single-zone homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine model were in agreement with those of the detailed mechanism. Therefore, this reduced mechanism can be used to accurately simulate the ignition and combustion process of compression ignition engine using DME fuel.

The nitridation mechanism of Si by SHS at $Si-NaCl-NH_{4}Cl-NaN_3$ system was investigated in this work. It was revealed that NaCl as a diluent was helpful to the perfect nitridation reaction by retarding the growth of Si particle resulted from the melting of Si at the initial stage of the nitridation reaction. And $NH_{4}Cl\;and\;NaN_3$ formed NaCl through decomposition and combination, and the preheating of pellet was helpful to the nitridation reaction in this process. The main nitridation mechanism of this system was liquid-gas reaction. The optimum porosity of the pellet for the nitridation of ${\alpha}-Si_{3}N_4$ was $67-69\%$.

In this study, a series of CFD analyses were carried out for a hydrogen rocket combustor with a single shear coaxial injector. A hybrid RANS/LES approach was used for the turbulent combustion analysis with a two-dimensional axisymmetric configuration. Three reaction mechanisms, three spatial discretization methods, and three levels of grid resolution were compared to determine an appropriate CFD approach. The performance of the CFD prediction were investigated by comparing the wall heat flux with experimental data. Investigation of the flow field results provides an insight into the characteristics of the turbulent reacting flow of a rocket combustor with a shear coaxial injector.

Burning velocities of conventional methane flame and oxygen-enriched methane flame were determined by experimentally and numerically at atmospheric pressure in order to examine the validity of various detailed reaction mechanisms in oxygen-enriched flame. The schlieren system was adopted to obtain the burning velocity of flame stabilized on a circular nozzle. Premix code was employed to compute the burning velocity. Three reaction mechnisms were tested at several oxygen enrichment level, whose names are GRI 3.0, MB(Miller and Bowman) and LKY(Lee Ki Yong) reaction mechanism. Sensitivity analysis was also performed to discriminate dominantly affecting reaction on burning velociy. The results showed that conventional reaction mechanisms originally based on methane-air flame were underpredict the burning velocity at high oxygen-enrichment level. The modified GRI 3.0 reaction mechanism based on our experimental results was suggested and shows a good agreement in estimating the burning velocity and the NO number density of oxygen-enriched flame.

The combustion temperature in gas generator should be kept below around 1,000K to avoid any possible thermal damages to turbine blade by adopting either fuel rich or oxidizer rich combustion. Thus, non-equilibrium chemical reaction dominates in the gas generator. Meanwhile, Kerosene is a compounded fuel mixed with various types of hydrocarbon elements and difficult to model the chemical kinetics. This study focus to model the non-equilibrium chemical reaction of kerosene/LOX with detailed kinetics developed by Dagaut using PSR(Perfectly stirred reactor) assumption. Also, droplet evaporation time is taken into account by calculating for the residence time of droplet and by decoupling reaction temperature from the reactor temperature. In Dagaut’s surrogate model for kerosene, chemical kinetics of kerosene consists of 1592 reaction steps with 207 chemical species. The comparison of calculation results with experimental data could provide very reliable and accurate numbers in the prediction of combustion gas temperature, species fraction and other gas properties.

A partly implicit/quasi-explicit method is introduced for the solution of detailed chemical kinetics with stiff source terms based on the standard fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme. Present method solves implicitly only the stiff reaction rate equations, whereas the others explicitly. The stiff equations are selected based on the survey of the chemical Jaconian matrix and its Eigenvalues. As an application of the present method constant pressure combustion was analyzed by a detailed mechanism of hydrogen-air combustion with NOx chemistry. The sensitivity analysis reveals that only the 4 species in NOx chemistry has strong stiffness and should be solved implicitly among the 13 species. The implicit solution of the 4 species successfully predicts the entire process with same accuracy and efficiency at half the price.
