Experiments were conducted to investigate the temperature profile and the emissions conversion efficiency of catalytic converters for natural gas vehicles. Two types of the catalyst structure and several transient engine operating conditions were used. The dual-bed catalyst effectively reduced the emissions in a transient period due to the low heat capacity of the front bed. The lanthanoid additives were effective in improving catalyst durability. When the natural gas fueled engine were operated outside of a very narrow window of excess air ratio (from 0.993 to 1.004), the HC and NOx conversion efficiency dropped off. The drop-off were especially fast on the lean side of the window.

A conventional flame type gas combustion major portion of heat is transferred to the body by convection due to small radiant ability of the gas flame. Increasing the radiation component of heat flux in the combustion zone allows to augment the efficiency of gas utilization. Such effect can be reached by using radiative gas burner applied to metal mesh combustion. Basically the gas radiant burner consists of metallic mesh of high heat resisting steels. In terms of this regards, we have made the burner consisted of metal mesh and measured the radiative flame stability of natural gas/air mixture on the metal mesh burner. The pressure loss through the metal mesh is defined by pressure-velocity slope. The more increased the pressure-velocity slope of the metal mesh is, the wider the stable zone of radiave flame on the metal mesh burner is. And the augmentation of mixture flowrate through the metal mesh make narrow the permissible range of equivalence ratio.

최근 화석연료 사용으로 인한 에너지 위기와 환경오염 문제가 사회적 문제점으로 떠오르고 있어 친환경 에너지 개발에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. PEMFC는 기본적으로 수증기 개질반응을 통해 고순도 수소를 얻고 있지만 운전 시 기동시간이 길고 빠른 기동을 필요로 하는 곳에는 문제가 있다. 따라서 본 연구실에서는 1KW급 평판형 STR 반응기에 적용할 연소기의 고효율 및 균일가열을 목표로 세라믹 허니컴을 적용하는 가능성을 알아본다. 한편, 축열체의 열량 보존시간에 대한 실험결과는 마일드연소기 개발에서 공기의 고온화를 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

From the view of the environmental protection against the use of fossil fuels, a great of efforts have been exerted to find an alternative energy source. Hydrogen may become an alternative However the product species of the hydrogen flame is only $H_2O$, which emits only non-luminous radiation so the radiation from it is much smaller than that for a hydrocarbon flame. In this study, the authors designed and fabricated a laboratory scale test furnace to study thermal characteristics of hydrogen-air diffusion flame. In addition. the effects of addition of reacting as welt as non-reacting solid particles were experimentally investigated. Among the total heat flux to the wall, about 75 % was occupied by radiation while 25% by convection. When the aluminum oxide (Al$_2$O$_3$) particles were added, the radiative heat flux was reduced due to heat blockage effects. On the other hand, the total as well as the radiative heat flux was increased when the carbon particles were seeded, since the overall temperature increased. The effects of swirl and excess air ratio were also examined.

본 연구는 화재를 효과적으로 진압하기 위한 비활성가스제너레이터의 성능 해석 및 실험에 관한 연구의 내용을 담고 있다. 비활성가스제너레이터는 가스터빈을 이용하여 화재를 진압하기 위한 비활성가스를 제조한다. 일반적으로 연소화합물 속에 산소함유량이 낮을수록 화재진압이 용이한 것으로 알려져 있다. 비활성가스제너레이터 시스템에 급수 노즐을 설치하여 물을 분사하는 경우 화재진압에 필요한 냉각 및 질식효과를 갖는 다는 점에서 유리하다. 비활성가스제너레이터 성능에 미치는 몇몇 중요한 인자인 압축비, 과급 공기지수, 연소기 입출구 온도, 공기 유량 및 급수량에 관한 영향을 조사하였다.

This paper presents the performance and emissions characteristics of a small spark-ignited 2-stroke gasoline and LPG engine. The engine used in this paper is a single cylinder, two-stroke, air-cooled SI engine for brush cutter. We measured the rpm, torque, fuel consumption and HC, CO, NOx emissions in associated with the dynamometer load at WOT. The results showed that as engine revolution speed decreased, the excess air ratio of gasoline engine kept going about 0.9 and that of LPG engine increased 0.83 to 1.05. Torque and power of gasoline engine was higher than LPG engine. In exhaust emissions, HC emissions of gasoline engine was lower than LPG engine. In low speed area, CO emissions of LPG engine was lower than gasoline engine. Both gasoline engine and LPG engine emitted little NOx emissions.

In gas turbines, excess air for combustion is available and therefore lean premixed combustion is the most promising approach to the significant reduction of thermal NOx emissions. At lean conditions, however, flame stability is inherently worse and hence combustion tends to be incomplete. Efforts have been devoted toward extending the operating range of complete combustion at leaner conditions. One of them is the lean-lean two-stage combustion where lean to ultra-lean secondary mixtures are mixed with the hot burned gas from the primary stage. Conventional flame combustion or flameless reaction are initiated depending on the conditions of the secondary zone. In the first part of the present study, the effects of fuel injection on the emissions and flame stability were investigated for a single tubular flame, In the second part, the emissions and flame stability were studied for a two-stage combustor with secondary mixture injected through the tangential slots on a cylindrical combustor wall. The effects of the ratio of air flow rates to the primary and secondary zones on the emissions and combustion characteristics were investigate.

Bottom ash from a coal-fired power plant is usually landfilled to a nearby site, which causes a growing environmental concern and increased operating costs. One way of recycling the bottom ash is to produce light-weight aggregate (LWA) using a rotary kiln. This study investigated the temperature profiles of raw LWA particles in a rotary kiln to identify the range of operating conditions appropriate for ideal bloating. For this purpose, a new simulation method was developed to integrate a 1-dimensional model for the bed of LWA particles and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the fuel combustion and gas flow. The temperature of LWA particles was found very sensitive to the changes in the air preheating temperature and excess air ratio. Therefore, an accurate control of the operation parameters was essential to achieve the bloating of LWA particles without excessive sintering or melting.

본 연구는 고회분탄의 최적화된 연소 조건을 알아보기 위해 회분 함량이 각기 다른 네 종류 석탄의 연소시 배출되는 NOx및 미연분 특성을 알아보았다. 실험은 DTF(Drop Tube Furnace)를 통해서 다양한 입자크기조건 및 공기다단방식을 도입하여 수행하였다. 결과로 회분의 함량이 증가할수록 미연분이 증가하며, 입자크기가 증대될수록 미연분에 대한 회분의 영향이 명확해짐을 확인하였다. 또한, 회분의 함량이 증가할수록 Char-NOx가 감소하며, 입자크기가 감소할수록 NOx의 배출이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 고회분탄의 NOx를 저감하는 방법으로 공기다단방식의 적용을 제안하며 전단 연소 영역의 공기과잉률 변화를 통한 최적화된 연소조건을 제시하였다.
