The study of nitrogen dilution effect on flame stability was experimentally investigated in non-premixed turbulent lifted hydrogen jet with coaxial air. hydrogen gas was used as a fuel and coaxial air was injected to make flame liftoff. And both of the fuel jet and coaxial air velocity were fixed as $u_F$=200 m/s and $u_A$=16 m/s, while nitrogen diluents mole fraction was varied from 0 to 0.2. For the analysis of flame structure and flame stabilization mechanism, the simultaneous measurement of PIV/OH PLIF had been performed. It was found that the turbulent flame propagation velocity increased as decreasing of nitrogen mole fraction. We concluded that the turbulent flame propagation velocity was expressed as a function of turbulent intensity, even though the mole fraction of nitrogen diluents gas was changed.

A numerical analysis of reactive flow in a liftoff flame is accomplished to elucidate the characteristics of flame propagation velocity and volume integral of reaction rate with the variation of fuel injection velocity at the fuel rich region, fuel lean region and diffusion flame region. The increase of fuel injection velocity enhances flame propagation velocity, but its effect on the flame propagation velocity is not much greater under 4%. The increase of fuel injection velocity affects directly and linearly on the flame surface area in the fuel rich region and so enhances volume integral of reaction rate to accommodate the increment of fuel.

This paper presents the characteristics of lifted height and flame length from non-premixed jet flames in highly preheated air to investigate the detail combustion mechanism in the gas turbine or HCCI engine, etc. Special attention was paid to the effect of preheated air temperature, oxygen concentration and fuel injection flow rate on flame length and lifted hight. By using highly preheated air, stable flames were formed even in low oxygen concentration condition. The lifted height increased with decreasing preheated air temperature, where the flame length showed opposed phenomena. The flamelet model, which is thought to have very thin flamelet, is difficult to applicable to the present flame conditions which is formed In low oxygen concentration in highly preheated air.

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.

Experimental studies were carried out in an explosion chamber to investigate the influences of multiple cylinder obstacles on local flame propagation. The chamber dimension is 235 mm in height with a $1,000{\times}950\;mm^2$ rectangular cross section and a large vent area of $1,000{\times}320\;mm^2$. Multiple cylinder bars with obstruction ratio of 30% were used. In order to examine the interaction between the propagating flames and the obstacles, temporally resolved flame front images were recorded by a high speed video camera. The propagation behaviour of local flame fronts around the left obstacle was analyzed in terms of two different methods such as the incremental burnt area divided by the flame front length and the average of the local propagation velocity determined at each point along the flame front. It was found that two methods give good consistency.

The effects of external flow excitation with various frequencies and amplitudes on the flame behavior and pollution emission characteristics from a laminar jet flame are experimentally investigated. Measurements of $NO_x$ emission indices ($EINO_x$), performed in vertical lifted flame like turbulent with various exciting amplitude at a constant resonance frequency, have been conducted. It was also conducted to investigate the effects of excited frequency at a constant exciting amplitude on $NO_x$ emissions with a various frequency ranged 0 Hz to 2 KHz. From the vertical lifted turbulent flame of the excited jet with resonance frequency by strong excitation was shown that the dependence of $NO_x$ emission could be categorized into three groups Group I of long flame length with high disturbances yielding high $NO_x$ emission, Group II of intermediate flame length and relative narrow flame volume with low disturbance yielding low $NO_x$ emission and Group III of long flame length and large flame volume with high time ＆ space disturbances behaviour yielding high $NO_x$ emission.

Flame deflector is an important plan item for protecting propulsion system model, test facility, and life. This study suggests the way of flame deflector design in test facility evaluating performance of 75 ton and 300ton PSM. The flame deflector height was designed as 30m using a slope way in establishment location of facility. The flame deflector suitability was considered according to the shape of open and closed type. Also the cooling duct was made as modeling in accordance with core and side injection type.

대부분의 고체와 액체의 연소는 고체의 열분해에 의해 생성되는 가연성 기체나 액체의 증발에 의한 가연성증기가 공기중에 확산되는 형태의 확산연소이다. 이런 확산 연소에서 연소속도를 지배하는 요소는 연료와 산화제의 확산속도이며 고체와 액체 연료의 경우 기체상태의 열분해 생성물이나 증기의 생성속도가 연소속도에 영향을 미치는 요소가 된다. 이러한 형태의 연소에서 연료와 산화제의 공급상태에 따라 발열량 및 화염의 형태 등이 영향을 받게 된다. 화재에서 화재의 확대에 영향을 미치는 요소들 중에 화염의 높이와 복사열 에너지 등이 있다.(중략)

Experimental studies were carried out to investigate the interactions between the propagating flame fronts and different multiple obstacles within an explosion chamber. The explosion chamber is 600 mm in height, $700{\times}700mm^2$ in cross-section and has a H/L value of 0.86. Three different multiple obstacles with the blockage ratio of 0.43 were replaced within the chamber. The results showed that relatively higher local flame displacement speed was observed with the triangular obstacle while the lower was observed with the circular one. It was found that the local flame displacement speeds behind the obstacle were largely dependent on the obstacle types. It was also found that as the flame interacted with the flow field generated behind the obstacle, the probability density functions(PDFs) of the local flame displacement speed were extensively distributed toward higher speeds.
