A numerical study for spray flow of fuel and oxidizer droplets in the combustion chamber has been conducted prior to the analysis of spray combustion of the liquid rocket engine. As the spray combustion model, DSF model and Euler-Lagrange scheme have been used. While the coupling effects of the droplets between gas phase and evaporated vapor have been calculated using PSIC model, SIMPLER algorithm and QUICK scheme have been used as numerical schemes. As the results, the calculations have shown velocity and temperature distribution in combustion chamber as well as mole fraction of fuel and oxidizer.

Environmental concerns and shortage of petroleum have promoted considerable interest in the use of alternate fuels in stationary diesel engine. In this study, a heavy-duty, intercooler-turbocharged 6-cylinder stationary diesel engine was converted into stationary gas engine fueled with propane or natural gas for the cogeneration plants. One of the most important factors in the combustion features of a stationary gas engine is the fuel composition and operating parameters in terms of compression ratio, spark advance, and engine loads. Experiments with different fuel gas and load conditions were carried out with combustion pressure analysis and NOx measurement. Combustion analysis based on P-$\theta$ diagrams was also investigated by means of combustion duration and cycle variation. Compression ratio is 10.0 and ignition timing is set by using the gasoline setting as a base line and advanced toward BTDC. The results show that fuel composition and spark advance have dominant effects on combustion and NOx characteristics at operating conditions.

This paper reports a numerical flow characteristic analysis in gas boiler combustion chamber. The numerical results with simplification and assumptions were found within 30% of the experiment. A lot of geometrical modification has been invested in attempt to obtain the uniform flow in the combustion chamber exit. As a result, the velocity magnitude of the combustion chamber is relate with the hole size in air distribution plate. The velocity uniformity of the combustion chamber is relate with the number of holes and location in air distribution plate.

This paper is to suggest a simple flame model for the analysis of an internal flame of rotary kilns and to present the application cases. Reaction rates in the multi combustion stages of the selected solid fuel were calculated considering the reaction rates with the Arrhenius type equations. In addition, primary and secondary air flow arrangement were considered. As a simple application case, the combustion trends according to the different solid fuels were described. Improved operating conditions as related with the fuel characteristics were shown to be important for the stable combustion characteristics and the performance of the reactors as defined by the exit temperature of the solid materials.

This paper describes the effects of spray breakup model constants on spray and combustion characteristics in single cylinder compression engine. KIVA-3V code coupled with a CHEMKIN chemistry solver was used for numerical analysis. In this study, spray simulations and combustion simulations are studied simultaneously. Spray simulation was conducted in constant volume to reduce the effects of air-flow as swirl or tumble. The model validation was conducted and there are little difference between experiments and simulation, this differences were reasonable. In spray simulation, the effects of model constants on spray tip penetration, spray patter and SMD were studied. Furthermore, the analysis of effects of breakup variables on combustion and emissions characteristics was conducted. The results show the KH-RT breakup model constants affects spray and combustion characteristics strongly. Increasing KH model variable (B1) and RT model constants ($C_{\tau}$, $C_{RT}$) induced slower breakup time.

This study investigated the enhanced combustion efficiency of an "air-cooled combustion system" with single F.D. fan, and performed a numerical analysis for the operation and design conditions to increase the combustion efficiency. The combustion efficiency in an actual combustor was compared before and after the structure modification. Numerical analysis for application of a single fan revealed the difficulty of forming a turbulence for circular combustion conditions. This is because the supply ratio of combustion air supplied into 2 flow paths becomes irregular in the combustion furnace due to a change in friction force and pressure in each flow path. Subsequently, two methods of supplying air into the combustion furnace were analyzed numerically to obtain the optimal combustion conditions of an air-cooled combustion system. The first method involved injecting the preheated combustion air after a 180~360 degree rotation from the outer wall, whereas in the second method, the combustion air was injected into the combustion furnace in a tangential direction after primary heat exchange outside the combustion furnace, by applying a rotatable vane structure in the combustion furnace. Results reveal that application of a single F.D. fan to the air injection into a rotatable combustion furnace is desirable for optimization of the combustion conditions for applying a duct structure having a dual cooling wall for the cooling of the outer wall of the combustion furnace, and for maintaining perfect mixing in the combustion furnace. We therefore confirmed enhanced combustion efficiency by comparing the actual combustion efficiency before and after structure modification.

This study was designed to understand characteristics of oxy-combustion of coal, dried sewage sludge and solid refuse fuel (SRF). Thermogravimetric analysis was conducted by burning the fuels with air, 21% oxygen ($O_2$)/79% carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and 30% $O_2/70%$ $CO_2$. Heating rates were varied as 5, 10, 25, 40 and $100^{\circ}C/min$. Complete coal combustion was found at the heating rates of 5, 10, 25 and $40^{\circ}C/min$, and different combustion behavior was found with the gas composition at the heating rates of 10, 25, 40 and $100^{\circ}C/min$. Coal combustion with 30% $O_2/70%$ $CO_2$ showed the highest while coal combustion with 21% $O_2/79%$ $CO_2$ showed the lowest combustion rate. On the other hand, the combustion of dried sewage sludge and SRF showed similar combustion behavior with respect to the combustion gas composition. This suggests that oxy-combustion of dried sewage sludge and SRF which contain a large amount of volatile matter may show similar combustion behavior to their air combustion.

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.

Thermal analysis, analysis of combustion residue and combustion characteristics measure ment such as burning rate or temperature were carried out to clarify the combustion mechanism of a tungsten- potassium perchlorate-barium chromate chromate delay powder. The results obtained are as follows. The main reaction of the delay powder of tungsten-potassium perchlorate-barium chromate is the oxidation of tungsten by potassium perchlorate. Barium chromate acts as a burning rate modifier, and the smaller the larger is the burning rate. Three types of delay composition used in this study show characteristic burning behavior. A stoichiomertric or a oxidizer-rich composition has a small linear burning rate. although it is has a large heat of combustion. On the other hand, a tungsten-excess or a fuel-rich composition with a small heat of combustion has a larger linear burning rate than the former, showing a small fractional oxidation of tungeten (below 10%) contained in the delay powder. From these results, a surface combustion mechanism is proposed for the combustion mechanism of this delay powder.
