본 논문에서는 수소/액체연료/공기의 연소특성에 대해 CFD상용프로그램을 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 프로그램을 검증하기 위하여 수소/공기의 난류 비예혼합 화염에 대한 반응물과 생성물의 몰분율을 Barlow실험 결과와 비교하였고, X축 방향의 온도분포를 Flury의 실험 값과 비교하여 값이 물리적으로 근사함을 확인하였다. 혼합분율(Mixture Fraction)과 확률밀도함수(PDF)의 접근 방법을 이용하여 화염진단과 오염물질발생에 중요한 역할을 하는 중간 종들의 몰분율을 확인하였다. 수소/액체연료/공기에 대해서는 화염형성에 있어서 가장 중요한 연료와 산화제의 속도비 변화(100,10,1,0.1)로부터 산화제속도가 연료속도 보다 클 경우 고속 측인 산화제에 의해 연료의 확산이 지배되는 현상으로 인하여 화염의 온도분포가 최고가 됨을 확인하였다. 또한, 연소과정 중 발생하는 오염물질의 농도를 수치적으로 해석하여 최저의 오염농도를 가질 수 있는 속도 비를 찾아 낼 수 있었다. 수소/공기와 수소/액체연료/공기의 온도 장 비교를 통하여 수소/액체연료/공기의 혼합물이 대체에너지로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

식물유, 어유 및 축산 폐기물을 포함한 동식물성 기름은 어느 연료든지 기관의 연료로서 사용 가능하지만, 이들 연료는 점도가 높고, 저휘발성이어서 착화지연기간동안에 가연성혼합기 생성이 어려워 저 NOx이며, 정숙한 운전이 사능할 뿐 아니라 경유정도의 열소비율 및 배기 매연농도로 디젤기관의 대체 연료로서의 충분한 가능성이 있는 연료임을 확인하였다. 그러나, 고점도에 의한 분무 특성의 악화에 기인한 분무입자의 증대로 미연소분에 의한 carbon deposit 및 piston ring stick 등이 문제점으로 지적되었다. 그러나, 이같은 문제점의 해결책으로 경질유와의 혼합, 에스테르 변환 및 연료의 가열등 여러 해결책을 제시하였고, 배기가스분석결과도 양호함을 확인하였다. 이같은 biomass 연료 일종인 식물유가 아무런 변화없이 이용되기 위해서는 고과급화, 단열 및 연소실의 적절한 설계가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서, 현재의 실황을 생각한다면 기존기관을 특별하게 개조함이 없이 사용을 전제로 할 때 식물유의 이용은 local 에너지로서, 생산, 전환 또는 이용기술의 개발과 동시에 화석에너지의 보충적인 에너지로 고려하는 것이 유효할 것으로 생각된다.

내연기관은 19세기에 발명되어 20세기에 이르는 약 100여년에 걸쳐 계속 발달하여, 오늘날은 육.해.공의 각종 원동기로 사용되어 인간생활에 없어서는 안될 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있다. 사용연료는 거의가 액체연료인 석유계가 대부분을 차지하고 있고, 이의 수요가 날로 증가됨으로써 석유자원의 고갈 위기와 함께 유해성 배출가스의 방출에 기인되는 환경오염의 측면에서도 매우 심각한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 종래의 석유계 연료로부터 탈피하여 값싸고 장기적으로 안정하게 고급될 수 있는 대체연료 개발과 에너지 절약기술에 대한 다각적인 연구가 전 세계적으로 확산되고 있다. 이러한 대체연료는 단순히 가격면에서 뿐만 아니라 장기적 공급이 가능해야 하고 또한 석유자원의 고갈과 비상시의 대비를 위한 관점에서도 취급되어야 할 것으로 본다. 이러한 관점에서 어유는 어류의 자원이 고갈되지 않는 한 생산이 계속 가능하므로 대체연료로서의 이용가치를 검토할 필요가 있다고 본다. 따라서, 본 해설에서는 디젤기관용 대체연료로서 가격이 싸고 공급이 비교적 용이한 정어리유(sardine oil)를 경유와 여러비율로 혼합한 경유-어유 혼합유를 정용연소기와 선박용 디젤기관에 사용하여 그 연소특성을 기존의 경유 사용시와 비교 설명하고자 한다.

In this study, the exhaust gas of a diesel engine operating on biodiesel(BD) fuel(a mixture of diesel and soybean oil) was investigated for different fuel mixing ratios in the range of BD3 to BD100. The experiments were conducted using injection pressures of 400, 600, 800, 1000, and 1200 bar. The Pearson correlation coefficient and Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient were used to quantify the NOx and Soot emissions based on the fuel mixing ratio and injection pressure. Consequently, the Pearson correlation coefficient obtained for NOx and Soot emissions according to the mixing ratio and injection pressure was -0.811 and the corresponding Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient was -0.884, which indicated that the correlation of the NOx and Soot emissions was linear. Thus, the NOx and Soot have a trade-off relationship. Moreover, at each injection pressure, the Pearson correlation coefficient was a negative number, which indicated an inversely proportional relationship between NOx and Soot.

Experiments were carried out in an atmospheric pressure, lab-scale gas turbine combustor to see the effect of partial premixing on unstable flame structure and Nox emission characteristics. The swirl angle is 45 deg., fuel-air mixing degrees were varied 0, 50 and 100% respectively at equivalence ratio ranging from 0.53 to 0.79. The evolution of phased-locked OH chemiluminescence images were acquired with an ICCD. NOx emission characteristics were also investigated at each experimental condition. The effect of the fuel-air mixing degree on the flame structure was obtained from phase-locked $OH^*$ images. And it was obtained from local heat release characteristics that the information about the region which the combustion instability was amplified or damped. It also could be confirmed that $\sigma$ has greatly influence on NOx emission characteristics at lean regimes. It would be expected that it could provide invaluable data for understanding the mechanism of combustion instability.

As a turbulence-enhancing device, a mixing vane, which is installed at a spacer grid of the fuel assembly, plays an important role in improving convective heat transfer by generating either swirl flow in the subchannels or cross flow between the fuel rod gaps. Therefore, both the geometric configuration and the arrangement pattern of a mixing vane are important factors in determining the performance of a mixing vane. In this study, in order to examine the flow-distribution features inside a $5{\times}5$ fuel assembly with split-type mixing vanes, which was used in the benchmark calculation of the OECD/NEA, we conduct simulations using the commercial computational fluid dynamics software, ANSYS CFX R.14. We compare the predicted results with measured data obtained from the MATiS-H (Measurement and Analysis of Turbulent Mixing in Subchannels-Horizontal) test facility. In addition, we discuss the effect of the split-type mixing vanes on the flow pattern inside the fuel assembly.

The Purpose of this study are to investigate the characteristics of the flame behavior of gasoline-methanol blended fuels in spark ignition engine. Ionization probe were installed at the cylinder head and piston in order to measure flame speed. Other parameter such as engine performance, fuel consumption rate and exhaust gas were measured. The results were as follows. 1. In the case of increase methanol contents in blend fuel, flame propagation speed were increased, and thermal efficiency of the engine were increased due to decrease of energy consumption rate. 2. In the case of fixed equivalance ratio, NO sub(X) in exhaust gas were increased in accordance with increase of spark advance, and mean effective pressure were decreased in accordance with increase of methanol contents. 3. CO and HC concentration were decreased in accordance with increase of methanol contents.

In this study, CFD simulation was performed with commercial CFD code FLUENT for the 3D mixing tank model (1 m in a diameter and 2.5 m in a height) of DME-Propane liquified fuels. Initial condition set-up with existence of DME 146 l at the upper side of mixing tank and Propane 770 l at the lower side of mixing tank. Characteristics of mixture and fluid flow were observed for 34 hours simulation. Two liquid fuel were uniformly mixed within range of 3 mol% after 24 hours, and range of 1 mol% after 34 hours. The simulation result following 4 hours was verified with KOGAS experimental data.

To study characteristics of DME and Propane blended fuel in mixing drum as time passed, mixing experiment of two components was performed. After 20 wt% of DME and 80 wt% of Propane were injected into mixing drum sequentially, and the mixture ratio of blended fuel was analyzed at several sampling ports. Consequently, DME and Propane were not easily mixed and DME was sunk to the bottom of the mixing drum by the density difference. The daily rate of DME ingredient increase was 0.2-0.3 wt%, and it took over 500 hours until two of them were mixed uniformly. And after recirculation of blended fuel in mixing drum, DME and Propane were mixed immediately and uniformly.

The flow of combustor in scramjet engine is supersonic speed. So residence time and mixing ratio are very important factors for efficient combustion. This study used open cavity on fuel/air mixing model and laser schlieren was carried out to investigate flow characteristics around a jet orifice and a cavity. A source of illumination has 10 ns endurance time so it can observe unsteady flow characteristics efficiently. Pressure was measured by varying momentum flux ratio. And the change of critical ignition point was observed to change of momentum flux ratio.
