The present study conducted computational simulation for multiphase flow in the flame spray coating process with commercially available Ni-Cr powders. The flows in a flame spray gun is characterized by very complex phenomena including combustion, turbulent flows, and convective and radiative heat transfer. In this study, we used a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code of Fluent (ver. 6.3.26) to predict gas dynamics involving combustion, gas and particle temperature distributions, and multi-dimensional particle trajectories with the use of the discrete phase model (DPM). We also examined the effect of particle size on the flame spray process. It was found that particle velocity and gas temperature decreased rapidly in the radial direction, and they were substantially affected by the particle size.

The present study aims to investigate the flow characteristics with respect to fuel type and equivalence ratio in the flame spray coating process. The flame spray flow is characterized by much complex phenomena including combustion, turbulent flows, and combined heat transfer. The present study numerically simulated the flam spray process and examined the gas dynamics involving combustion, gas temperature and velocity distributions in flame spray process by using commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code of FLUENT (ver. 13.0). In particular, we studied the effect of fuel type and equivalence ratio on thermal and flow characteristics which could substantially affect the coating performance. From the results, it was found that the gas temperature distributions were varied with different fuels because of reaction times were different according to the fuel type. The equivalence ratio also could change the spatial flame distribution and the characteristics of coated layer on the substrate.

The present study aims to examine the influence of flame spray distance on the thermal behavior of micro-metal particles and the morphological characteristics of $Ni_{20}Cr$ layers coated on the preheated SCM415 substrates by using the conventional flame spray system. Commercially available nickel-based $Ni_{20}Cr$ particles with a mean diameter of $45{\mu}m$ were used. In addition, CFD simulations using a commercial code (FLUENT ver. 6.3.26) were conducted to estimate temperature and velocity distributions of the continuous and discrete phases before impact on the substrate. From FE-SEM images of coated layers on the substrates, it was observed that as the spray distance decreased, the metal particle morphology showed splash-like patterns and such a short stretch shape, resulting from higher particle momentums and the impact of partially melted particles. Moreover, it was found that the spray distance should be considered as one of important parameters in controlling the porosity and the adhesion strength.

레이저 유도 플라즈마 분광분석법 (Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy : LIBS) 은 기존의 레이저 기반의 연소 진단 기법들의 약한 신호세기, 복잡한 장비 구성, 낮은 정확도 등의 단점을 보완하는 기법이다. 본 연구에서는 LIBS를 활용하여 스크램 제트 엔진의 연소 가스 온도를 측정하기 위한 기초 연구가 수행되었다. 스크램 제트 엔진에서 사용되는 Jet A-1 연료로 스프레이 화염을 만들고 교정된 열전대로 화염 상부에서의 가스 온도를 측정하였다. 그리고 열전대의 온도 측정위치와 동일한 지점에서의 LIBS 신호를 획득하였다. LIBS 스펙트럼을 분석하여 LIBS 신호와 열전대로 측정된 기준 온도와의 보정곡선을 얻었다. 그래서 본 연구를 통해 LIBS를 활용하여 연소 가스의 온도를 in-situ 하게 측정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
