A cylindrical constant volume combustion chamber was used to investigate the flow characteristics at spark plug and the combustion characteristics of inhomogeneous charge methane-air mixture under several parameters. The flow characteristics such as mean velocity and turbulence intensity was analyzed by hot wire anemometer. Combustion pressure development measured by piezoelectric pressure transducer was used to investigate the effect of initial charge pressure, excess air ratio and ignition times on combustion pressure and combustion duration. Mean velocity and turbulence intensity had the maximum value at 200 or 300ms and then decreased to beneath 0.05m/s gradually at 3 seconds. Second mixture is accompanied by an increase in the combustion rate, and that the higher the mass which is added in the second stage injection, the faster the burn rate.

The performance of a direct-injection type diesel engine often depends on the strength of air flow in the cylinder, shape of combustion chamber, the number of nozzle holes, etc. This is of course because the process of combustion in the cylinder was affected by the mixture formation process. In the present paper, high speed photography was employed to investigate the effectiveness of holes penetrated from the bottom of cavity wall to piston crown for some more useful utilization of air. The holes would function to improve mixing of fuel and air by the increase of air flow in the cylinder. The results obtained are summarized as follows, (1) Activated first of the combustion by shorten of ignition timing and rapid flame propagation (2) Raised the combustion peak pressure, more close to TDC the formation timing of peak pressure.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the combustion emission characteristics changing auxiliary air injection in combustion field of coaxial swirling diffusion combustor. For this purpose, mean temperature, CO, CO2, O2 and HC concentration were measured by changing excess air ratio and auxiliary air injection. As a result of this study, mean temperature, CO2 emission were increased and CO emission decreased by increasing auxiliary air. Therefore, this paper showed the auxiliary air injection effected strongly on flame structure and combustion emission characteristics.

The present study discusses about the combustion and thermal flow characteristics of a G+R type incinerator, which is under construction for MAPO Incineration system, to evaluate the effects of various operating and design parameters. A bed combustion model is developed to simulate the waste bed combustion on the stoker. The effects of waste composition and primary air distribution are estimated. The results of the waste bed combustion model is applied to CFD(computational fluid dynamics) simulation, which simulates the detail of the thermal flow in the combustion chamber. The effects of bypass damper opening ratio, primary air distribution, and secondary air jet configuration are discussed.

Optimum operation conditions of low-NOx MILD combustion for gaseous and solid fuels have been investigated by experimental and computer simulation. Loop reactor type MILD combustor without air pre-heater has been used in the present work. The results show that the balance of injection velocities of fuel and surrounding air is major factor for maintaining MILD combustion mode. Temperature difference between lower and upper part can be reduced less than 20 degree of Celsius. It was found that NOx emission in MILD combustion also can be remarkably reduced to more than 85% in comparison with conventional premixed combustion, and reduced to more than 50% in case of nitrogen and carbon dioxide carrying dried waste water sludge and pulverized coal in comparison with the same of air carrying. It was also found that carbon monoxide emission increase was not appeared at the time of changeover to MILD combustion mode from premixed or air carrying combustion at optimum operation condition.

Steady Laminar Flamelet Model (SLFM) calculation is performed to compare the turbulent combustion characteristics of air combustion and oxy-combustion with $CO_2$ recirculation. Radiative heat loss is considered by the optically thin limit assumption. For more realistic simulation the first-order conditional moment closure(CMC) model is applied to SANDIA PILOTED FLAME D again for the oxidants of air and mixture of $O_2$ and $CO_2$. The chemical kinetic machanism for methane is GRI Mech 3.0. Results show that oxy flames are much more stable than air flames, while comparable stability is maintained with 65% $CO_2$ recirculation. The comparable peak temperature is maintained with 80% $CO_2$ recirculation. Higher the temperature, higher the fractions of intermediate species, CO and OH, due to dissociation.

A laboratory scale thermogravimetric analyser was developed to investigate the combustion characteristics of selected solid fuel(wood) in the highly preheated air. The aims are to introduce in the means of experimental determination of the solid fuel particle characteristics through the combustion process in the environment of highly preheated air. A nearly single particle combustion condition was reproduced in a thermogravimetric analyser and regenerating combustor. For a fuel particle whose characteristic length was a few centimeter, the sub-processes of fuel drying, pyrolysis as well as the combustion of residual carbon were identified. Fluidized environment of carrier gas was selected as the major parameter which affect the combustion process.

High temperature air combustion technology has been utilized by using preheated air over 1100 K and excessive exhaust gas recirculation. Numerical analysis was performed to investigate the combustion characteristics with high temperature deficient oxygen air combustion by adopting a counterflow as a model problem accounting for detailed chemical kinetics. Methane($CH_4$) was used as a test fuel and calculated oxidizer conditions were low temperature high oxygen (300K, $X_{O2}=0.21$) and high temperature low oxygen (1300K, $X_{O2}=0.04$) conditions. The latter case showed that the flame temperature is lower than the former case and its profile showed monotonic decrease from oxidizer to fuel side, without having local maximum flame temperature at high stretch rate. Also, heat release rate was one order lower and it has one peak profile because of low oxygen concentration and heat release rate integral is almost same for stretch rate. High temperature low oxygen air combustion shows low NO emission characteristics.

Computations were performed to investigate the effects of air staging on combustion in three stage heavy-oil fired combustion burner. The burner was designed for 3 MW. Different amounts of air are introduced into each 3 three stages by means of each dampers. The goal of the study is to understand combustion phenomena according to each air stage mass ratios through CFD. Air flow rates at three inlets are adjusted by dampers inside a burner. Here, injection conditions of liquid fuel are kept constant throughout all simulations. This assumption is made in order to limit the complexity of oil combustion though it may cause some disagreement. In case of cold flows, only longitudinal velocities arc considered, On the other hand, flow, temperature and NOx generations are taken into account for reactive flows. Simple parametric study was conducted by setting 1'st air stage mass ratio as a parameter. And an optimal operation condition was found. The computational study is based on k-e model, P-1 radiation model(WSGGM) and PDF, and is implemented on a commercial code, FLUENT.

The effects of acoustic excitation with various frequencies for combustion air as well as fuel on the combustion emission and local NO concentration in diffusion flame were investigated experimentally. It was studied to investigate the effects of combination between four frequencies for the fuel and various frequencies for the combustion air. The better characteristic for NO emission was revealed by acoustic exciting with frequencies for the air and the fuel excited at 0Hz and 120Hz and the generation of CO was decreased at low frequency for fuel and the excited combustion air. The amount of combustion emission could be controlled by acoustic exciting of the combustion air. And when both fuel and air are excited by some frequencies, the diffusion flame was affected by frequency which excited fuel in the middle of the flame and by air-exciting frequency at both sides of the flame. The local NO in the flame was generated much less at the condition that fuel was excited by frequencies than the condition was not.
