In this paper, characteristics of the DC flashover voltage in the horizontal air gap of sphere-sphere/needle-needle electrode system were investigated when the combustion flame of paraffin oil was present between the two electrodes. The reduction characteristic of DC flashover voltage was discussed with the thermal ionization process, the relative air density and the deflection phenomena in the shape of flames that caused by the corona wind and Coulomb's force. As the results of an experimental investigation, It was found that the reduction characteristics of DC flashover voltages with flames were affected strongly by the flame deflection and the change of relative air density. It was also found that the thermal ionization phenomena were not important in the range of combustion flame temperature.

Combustion of magnesium dust particle were fabricated test devices and combustion experiments were carried out. The ignition delay time were measured in change of magnesium particle mass flow rate in premixed flame. According to increasing magnesium particle mass flow rate, ignition delay time were more shorter. In addition, magnesium dust combustion temperature were measured different particle sizes and o/f ratio by two wavelength pyrometry. Dust combustion flame temperature is almost similarly, through to equivalence ratio, confirm the combustion flame temperature range characteristics.

화염중에 존재하는 이온 및 전자의 전기적 성질을 이용하여 연소실내의 화염전파속도를 파악하기 위해 실린더 헤드에 이온 프로브를 삽입하여 천연가스 및 가솔린의 화염전파속도를 측정하였다. 본 연구에 이용된 이온전류장치 설계에 의한 방법은 광학적 측정 장비에 비해 간단하며 쉽게 측정할 수 있고 가격도 저렴하고 응답성도 우수하였다. 이온 프로브의 제작과 신호처리에 관한 기초적인 지식을 얻었으며 천연가스 및 가솔린의 연소시 연소압력의 상승지점과 이온발생지점이 일관성있게 나타났다. 기관회전수의 증가에 따라서 연소실내의 화염전파속도가 증가했으며 같은 연소조건이라고 할 수 있는 동일 기관회전수, 당량비의 조건에서 점화시간에 대한 화염전파속도를 비교해 보면 메탄의 경우가 이론치보다 6 ms∼9 ms 정도 늦었다. 또한, 메탄가스 및 가솔린에 대해 이온 전류강도 및 화염 도달시간을 측정하였으며 연소실 벽면에서는 열전달에 의한 냉각효과로인해 화염 전파속도 및 이온농도가 감소했다.

스파크 점화기관에서 화염전파과정에 관한 연구를 수행하기 위하여는, 초기화염핵 구간에서의 화염의 형성과 발달의 거동을 정확히 파악하여야 한다. 그러므로 화염핵의 형성과 발달에 영향을 미치는 최소 화염핵 크기의 이론적인 계산을 수행하였다. 이론식을 정립하기 위하여 열점화 이론을 이용하였다. 최소 화염핵 크기를 계산하기 위해 열전도 계수, 화염온도, 층류연소속도, 기타 열역학적 상태량 등을 계산하였다. 계산에 의존한 화염핵 크기의 신뢰성을 확인하기 위하여, 점화에너지를 변화시킬 수 있는 점화장치를 사용하여 실기 운전을 통하여 희박연소 한계가 그 때의 화염핵이 성정할 수 있는 영역이라고 가정하여 그 정확도를 확인 하였다.

연소현상에 대한 이해를 증가시키기 위하여 화염을 이용한 많은 실험적 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 특히 연소 모델의 개선과 증명을 위하여는 화염에서의 성분 농도 측정이 필수적이며, 최근에 들어 측정 가능해진 래디컬성분의 측정은 연소해석분야에 많은 진전을 가져왔다. OH, H 및 O는 연료의 분해 (decomposition) 및 연소 산화물생성 이외에도 CO와 NO 같은 공해물질의 형성등 연소과정에서 매우 중요한 래디컬들이며, 특히 화염영역에서의 OH의 전파(transport)는 화염의 점화 및 안정성 (stability)에도 큰 영향을 미친다. OH래디컬은 연소과정에서 가장 중요한 성분 중 하나이며, 또한 스펙트럼이 비교적 잘 알려져 있어 레이저 유도 형광의 적용이 용이하므로 화염에서의 OH농도 측정에 LIF(laser induced fluorescence) 또는 PLIF(planar laser induced fluorescence)가 널리 사용되고 있다. 따라서 LIF 및 PLIF의 원리 및 연소분야에서의 응용을 OH농도 측정을 중심으로 소개하고자 한다.

One dimensional combustion modeling of aluminum combustion behavior is proposed. Combustion model is assumed that region consists as follows ; preheat, reaction, post reaction region. Flame speed as a function of particle size, equivalence ratio for unitary particles and fraction ratio of micro to nano particle size for binary particles were investigated for lean burn condition at 1 atm. Results were compared with experimental data. For unitary particles, flame speed increase as particle size decreases, but opposite trend with equivalence ratio. For binary particles, flame speed increases proportionally as nano particle fraction increases. For flame structure, separated or overlapping flames are observed, depending on the fraction of nano sized particles.

High-resolution numerical study is carried out to investigate the flame stability of the turbulent supersonic combustion in a Dual-Combustion Ramjet (DCR). The auto-ignition in a shear layer between hydrogen/carbon-monoxide syngas and air was studied at elevated enthalpy condition. Comparison of a constant area combustor and a combustor with a small divergence angle shows that the supersonic combustion has a characteristics of the lifted flame and its stability is influenced significantly by the compressibility.

A qualitative and quantitative analysis on flame dynamics is required to model combustion instability characteristics in gas turbine lean premixed combustors. The current paper shows the flame transfer function modeling results using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques for the flame dynamics study. It is generally known that flame shapes determine the basic characteristics of the flame transfer function. The comparisons of the modeled flame shapes with the measured ones were made using the optimized heat transfer conditions. Modeling results of the flame transfer function show the close behaviors to the measured data with a reasonable accuracy if the flame geometry can be exactly captured.

In this paper, reduction characteristics of the AC and DC flashover voltage in the horizontal air gap of sphere-sphere electrode system were investigated when the combustion flame was present near the high voltage electrode. The voltage and current waveforms were measured, when the flashover is occurred, in order to examine the flashover polarity by flame. The reduction characteristics of AC flashover voltage were discussed with the thermal ionization process, the relative air density and the deflection phenomena in the shape of flames that caused by the coulomb's force. As the results of an experimental investigation, It was found that the reduction of flashover voltages in sphere-sphere system, in comparison with the no flame case, are $79.9[\%]$ for k=0, $82.9[\%]$ for k=0.5, $87.5[\%]$ for k=1.0, $85.0[\%]$ for h=0[cm], $40.8[\%]$ for h=5[cm] and $28.2[\%]$ for h=9[cm] when ac voltage is applied. The influence for thermal ionization process of the combustion flame in small scale no particular change is recognized.

It is critical to assess the characteristics of flame response to pressure perturbations for the understanding of nonlinear combustion instabilities. Previous studies can be grouped into flame response upon perturbed, fresh air and fuel mixture, and flame response directly perturbed from longitudinal waves. The present study presents experimental methodology for the understanding of the flame response exposed to transverse acoustic waves generated by loud speakers.
