저발열량 석탄가스의 thermal/fuel NOx 생성특성과 화염 안정성을 규명하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 저발열량 합성 연료 가스는 일산화탄소, 수소, 질소 및 암모니아를 천연가스 연료와 동일한 입열량을 가지도록 혼합하여 만들었고 , 합성가스는 평면 화염 버너를 공급하여 태웠다. 특정한 합성가스에 대해 당량비를 변화시켜 가며, 비화 또는 역화에 의한 화염안정성을 규명하였고 안정된 화염 영역을 정의하였다. 저발열향 합성가스의 연소시 발생하는 thermal 및 fuel NOx를 측정하여 천연가스 연소시의 경우와 비교하였다.

Characteristic of turbulent nonpremixed interacting flames are investigated experimentally 8 or 9 nozzles are arranged in the shape of matrix or circle. When there is no center nozzle, flame is more stable than with center nozzle case. It is shown that these blowout limit enlargements are related with the recirculation of burnt gases. The interacting flame base was not located at the stoichiometric point. NO concentrations of interacting flame are smaller than that of single flame using same area nozzle.

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.

연료분출을 수반하는 원통형 보염기 후류에 형성되는 확산화염에 대한 이온전류의 특성과 화염의 안정범위를 측정, 분석함으로써 연소특성을 고찰하였다. 난류강도가 큰 경우의 화염일수록 화염의 안정성은 악화되며, 화염내 중앙의 평균 이온전류값이 가장 높은 값을 갖는 영역은 블로오프 직전상태에 비해서 안정시의 경우 더욱 하류측에 존재한다. 난류의 정도가 강한 화염의 경우 국소적으로 반응이 활발한 화염 덩어리가 빠른 속도로 이동하며, 난류의 정도가 강한 화염의 경우에는 반응이 완만한 화염 덩어리가 저속으로 이동한다. 재순환영역에서 주류유동측으로 이동함에 따라 자기상관계수의 저하가 빨라지고 난류 시간스케일이 작아지며, 부염기 직후에서 하류로 이동함에 따라 자기상관계수의 저하가 늦어지고 난류시간스케일이 커진다. 주류공기에 강한 난류를 가하지 않은 경우에는 큰 난류시간스케일에 대응되는 저주파수 특성이외에도 작은 난류 시간스케일에 대응되는 고주파수 특성이 나타나며 , 주류공기에 강한 난류를 가한 경우에는 큰 난류 시간스케일에 대응되는 저주파수 특성이 나타난다.

This paper describes on the flame stability and combustion instability of coal derived synthetic gas especially for gases of Buggenum IGCC in Netherlands and Taean IGCC in Korea. These combustion characteristics were observed by conducting ambient-pressure elevated-temperature combustion tests in GE7EA model combustor when varying heat input and nitrogen dilution ratio. Flame stability map is plotted according to the flame structure by dividing all regimes into six, and only regime I and II are identified to be stable. Both syngases of Taean and Buggenum with nitrogen integration corresponds to regime II in which syngas burnt stably and flame coupled with outer recirculation flow. Stable regime of Buggenum is larger than that of Taean when considering only $H_2$/CO ratio due to higher content of hydrogen. However, when considering nitrogen dilution, syngas of Taean is burnt more stably than that of Buggenum since more nitrogen in Buggenum has negative effect on the stability of flame.

Supersonic combustion phenomena in the main combustor of a dual combustion ramjet (DCR) engine are studied numerically. Since the supersonic combustion is affected significantly by the compressibility effects parametric studies have been carried out for the constant are length and the divergence angle. Numerical studies with fixed inflow condition for different geometric configurations reveals that the supersonic combustion in DCR combustor has the characteristics of lifting flame, where the lifting flame is maintained near the injector tip for the case of long combustor length with small divergence angle, but the lifting height is significantly increase for large divergence angle resulting flame blow-out of the combustor. Therefore, it is concluded that flame stability should be considered sufficiently in the design o DCR combustor.

The combustion characteristics of diffusion flame formed in the wake of a cylindrical stabilizer with varying fuel injection angle were studied. This study was performed by measuring the flame stability limits, lengths and temperatures of recirculation zones of flames, turbulence intensity in the wake of stabilizer, and concentration distribution of combustion gas, and by taking photographs of flames. The flame stability limits are dependent on fuel injection angle and main air velocity. The length and temperature of recirculation zone are dependent on fuel injection angle. As the length of the recirculation zone is decreased, the flame shows more stable behavior. The temperature of recirculation zone has a maximum value at the condition of theoretical mixture. The flame stability is enhanced when the temperature in the recirculation zone decreases. The turbulence intensity in the wake of stabilizer is independent of the fuel injection angle, but it is affected by stabilizer itself and main air flow condition. If the stabilization characteristics of flame is good, the concentration of $C_3H_8$ is high, but the concentration of $CO_2$ is low at the boundary of recirculation zone. The combustion characteristics of diffusion flame can be controlled by changing the fuel injection angles. The appropriate fuel injection angle should be selected to get high combustion efficiency, high load power, low environmental pollution, and clean combustion condition of fuel.

The objective of the present study is to conduct model combustion tests for various injectors to identify their combustion stability characteristics. Three different double swirl coaxial injectors with variation of a recess number have been tested for the comparative study of stability characteristic and flame structure. Gaseous oxygen and mixture of gaseous methane and propane have been employed for simulating actual propellants used for a fullscale thrust chamber. Upon test results, the direct comparison between various types of injectors can be realized for the selection of the best design among prospective injectors.

The present study investigated the effects of MTV(Manifold Throttle Valve) on the fuel distribution and the flame stability in a SI engine at cold, idling condition. For the quantitative measurement of fuel distribution with PLIF method, compensating techniques of various factors such as laser beam nonuniformity, background image and local OTF nonuniformity were developed. As a result, it was found that MTV had a positive effect on the air-fuel mixing and flame stability.

A linear stability analysis of a diffusion flame with radiation heat loss is performed to identify linearly unstable conditions for the Damk$\ddot{o}$hler number and radiation intensity. We adopt a counterflow diffusion flame with unity Lewis number as a model. Near the kinetic limit extinction regime, the growth rates of disturbances always have real eigenvalues, and a neutral stability condition perfectly falls into the quasi-steady extinction. However, near the radiative limit extinction regime, the eigenvalues are complex, which implies pulsating instability. A stable limit cycle occurs when the temperatures of the pulsating flame exceed the maximum temperature of the steady-state flame with real positive eigenvalues. If the instantaneous temperature of the pulsating flame is below the maximum temperature, the flame cannot recover and goes to extinction. The neutral stability curve of the radiation-induced instability is plotted over a broad range of radiation intensities.
