A basic research for utilizing solid refuse fuel (SRF) based on changing SRF properties (RDF, RPF) and types (pellet, fluff) is demonstrated. Physicochemical characteristics of SRF and also changes in thermal decomposition depending on combustion time and emission gas (NOx, CO, HCl, etc) concentration were investigated for applications to waste energy sources. In conclusion, RPF is easy to pelletize, and has better combustion efficiency, higher LHV, higher thermal reduction, and short combustion time because it is composed of plastic wastes homogeneously. Also, fluff type samples have better combustion efficiency, and short combustion time because it has wider exposed surface area for combustion. It can also save energy consumption for pelletizing.

A real-scale combustion test was conducted on a vinyl flooring in a divided space, with 50 mL of an inflammable liquid sprayed on it. The combustion behavior of the vinyl flooring was studied in real time, and the carbonization patterns of the surface and cross-sections of the carbonized vinyl floor were analyzed. When the flame ignited by gasoline reached its peak, a continuously flaming region, intermittent flaming region, plume region, etc., were formed. The combustion of 50 mL gasoline on vinyl flooring took 26 s, and a halo pattern was observed. This test involved spraying kerosene evenly on the vinyl flooring and attempting to ignite the flooring using a gas torch, which failed. After the combustion of the vinyl flooring was complete, its carbonized range was measured to be 600 mm in length and 380 mm in width, and the carbonized area was 1000 ㎟. Heat transformed the coated layer of surface of the carbonized vinyl flooring into a carbonized layer, which became harder. The analysis of cross-section of the boundary surface of the carbonized vinyl flooring using a stereoscopic microscope showed that the vinyl flooring was bubbling, and that the white boundary layer at the bottom of the coated layer had disappeared.

초임계 난류유동이 활용되고 있는 가장 대표적인 시스템은 액체로켓연소기이다. 액체로켓엔진은 목적하는 임무에 따라 추력이 결정되고 엔진의 추력이 결정된다. 이러한 추력을 결정하는 핵심부품이 분사기(injector)이다. 실용 인공위성을 발사하기 위한 액체로켓엔진의 연소기는 수백 개의 분사기를 통해 연료와 산화제가 혼합되는 구조를 가지고 있다. 따라서 로켓연소기의 연소특성 및 성능은 분사기의 혼합특성에 좌우된다. 그러므로 단일 분사기의 연료/산화제 혼합특성에 대한 많은 실험과 해석연구가 진행되고 있다. 그런데 초임계압력에서는 액체의 표면장력이 사라지게 되어 독특한 혼합특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 성능을 높여주기 위하여 초임계 압력을 선택할 경우 분사기에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 이 글에서는 이러한 초임계 작동압력에서 분사기에 대한 연구들을 소개하고자 한다.

A numerical modelling was performed to predict unsteady combustion processes for the AP/HTPB/Al propellant in a solid rocket motor. Its results were compared with the experimental data. Temporal pressure development was found to match quite well with measured data. A change in propellant surface was traced using the moving grid. The propellant thickness change was also observed to confirm the erosive burning effect.

환원공정은 산업 전반에 걸쳐 매우 광범위하게 이용되고 있는 기술로서, 현재 활용되고 있는 환원공정으로 대표적인 것이 일반금속 및 비철금속 등의 열처리 공정이다. 열처리 공정에서의 환원공정은 적용되어지는 제품의 종류에 따라 차이는 있겠으나, 기본적으로는 제품에 적합한 경도 및 조직 구조를 형성하고, 공정 과정 중에 발생할 수 있는 표면 산화를 최소화함으로서 제품의 품질을 향상시키는 역할을 하게 된다. 그러나 기존에 적용되고 있는 이러한 환원공정들은 환원가스의 발생과 에너지원의 공급이 이원화되어 있어 비효율적인 시스템 운영 및 이원화에 따라 공급되어지는 에너지원이 이중적으로 소모될 수 있는 비경제적인 요인을 내포하고 있다. 반면 촉매 연소 방식은 이러한 기존의 단점을 보완, 극복할 수 있는 기술이다.(중략)

2-유체 인젝터의 분무연소에 대한 통찰 및 구조에 대한 이해와 연료-공기 혼합과 연소반응의 물리적 이해에 필요한 수치적 모델의 개발 및 검증을 위해서는 2유체 시스템에서 액체 및 기체 각각의 기본적 특성인 액적크기, 액적속도, 액적의 질량플럭스(flux), 가스상의 속도측정 등이 필요하다. 특히, 액체분무에서는 액적의 크기를 예측하는 것이 매우 중요한 과제이며, 액적의 크기에 영향을 주는 인자들로는 노즐의 형태, 분사액체의 물성치(점도, 표면장력, 밀도), 주위기체의 조건(온도, 압력, 응축과 증발현상), 분사압력 등이 있다. 그러나, 실제 분무액적의 크기는 분포를 가지므로 같은 SMD를 가지더라도 그 분포의 정도는 크게 다를 수 있어 결과적으로 분무액적의 크기를 평균값만으로 표현하는 것은 불충분할 뿐만 아니라 그 적용에도 한계를 가지게 된다. 따라서 분무액적의 평균크기와 함께 그 분포의 정도 등을 함께 나타내려는 시도가 많은 과학자들에 의하여 연구되었다.

The main motivation for this study was to establish a CFD-based procedure for the analysis of heating characteristics, particularly in industrial furnaces. As certain open-source software packages have gained popularity in dealing with complex industrial problems, the OpenFOAM framework was selected for further development of advanced physical models to meet industrial requirements. In this study, the newly developed comprehensive model was applied to simulate physical processes in the full-scale horizontal furnace of a continuous galvanizing line (CGL). The numerical results obtained indicate that the current approach predicts heating characteristics reasonably well. It was also found that radiative heat transfer plays a dominant role in heating the moving strip. To improve the predictability of our method, further work is required to model the turbulence-chemistry interaction realistically, as well as to impose a physically correct thermal wall boundary condition.

The flash and fire point are the most important combustible properties used to determine the potential for the fire and explosion hazards of flammable material. The flash point is defined as the lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid gives off sufficient vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air near its surface or within a vessel. The fire point is the temperature of the flammable liquid at which there will be flaming combustion, sustained 5 seconds in response to the pilot flame. In this study, the flash points and fire points were measured to present raw data of the flammable risk assessment for acids, using Pensky-Martens Closed Cup(C.C.) apparatus (ASTM-D93) and Tag Open-cup (O.C.) apparatus(ASTM D 1310-86). The measured fire points were compared with the estimated values based on 1.11 times stoichiometric concentration. The values calculated by the proposed equation were in good agreement with measured values.

POD analysis has been done to investigate the internal flow characteristics using LES calculation results of hybrid rocket combustion chamber. The special emphasis was put on the change in the mode energy distribution caused by the installation of diaphragm compared to the baseline case. Also the comparison was made to investigate the effect of wall blowing on the changes in the mode energy between the regions near and far from the diaphragm. For baseline case, POD results clearly distinguish the primary mode containing most of flow energy from the rest of flow modes (2-9 mode) depicting small scale modes. Also, the increase in the energy of flow modes 2-5 is responsible for the formation of relatively large scale structures due to diaphragm. In addition, the comparison of mode energy distributions of flow fields with diaphragm shows similar patterns in both wall blowing and no blowing case. This implies that the local increase in regression rate just after the diaphragm is directly associated with the increase in energy distributions of 2-5 modes.
