This study examined the combustion and thermal characteristics of imported woods for building materials in Korea. Wooden specimens were confirmed by a cone calorimeter according to the KS F ISO 5660-1 standard. The combustion properties of the wooden specimens were measured in terms of the heat release rate (HRR), total heat released (THR), mass lose rate (MLR), and ignition time (time to ignition; TTI). The optical microscope was used for determine the anatomical characteristics of wood pit and structure. Also, the thermal properties were measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to determine the thermal stability of wooden specimens. The result of this experiment would be useful for fundamentals of guiding the combustion properties and thermal stability using wood application.

This paper described the effect of the multiple injections on the stability of combustion and emission characteristics in a direct injection diesel engine at various operating conditions. In order to investigate the influence of multiple injections in a diesel engine, the fuel injection timing was varied one main injection and two pilot injections at various conditions. The experimental apparatus consisted of DI diesel engine with four cylinders, EC dynamometer, multi-stage injection control system, and exhaust emissions analyzer. The combustion and emission characteristics were analyzed for the main, pilot-main injection, pilot-pilot-main injection strategies. It is revealed that the combustion pressure was smoothly near the top dead center and the coefficient of variations is reduced due to the effect of pilot injection. Also, $NO_x$ emissions are dramatically decreased with pilot injection because the decrease of rate of heat release. However, the soot is increased at early pilot injection and main injection.

The EGR system has been widely used to reduce nitrogen oxides (NO$\_$x/) emission, to improve fuel economy and suppress knock by using the characteristics of charge dilution. However, as the EGR rate at a given engine operating condition increases, the combustion instability increases. The combustion instability increases cyclic variations resulting in the deterioration of engine performance and emissions. Therefore, the optimum EGR rate should be carefully determined in order to obtain the better engine performance and emissions. An experimental study has been performed to investigate the effects of EGR on combustion stability, engine performance,70x and the other exhaust emissions from 1.5 liter gasoline engine. Operating conditions are selected from the test result of the high speed and high acceleration region of SFTP mode which generates more NO$\_$x/ and needs higher engine speed compared to FTP-75 (Federal Test Procedure) mode. Engine power, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions are measured with various EGR rate. Combustion stability is analyzed by examining the variation of indicated mean effective pressure (COV$\_$imep/) and the timings of maximum pressure (P$\_$max/) location using pressure sensor. Engine performance is analyzed by investigating engine power and maximum cylinder pressure and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC)

Lean burn engine, classified into port injection and direct injection, is recognized as a promising way to meet better fuel economy. Especially, LPG direct injection engine is becoming increasingly popular due to their potential for improved fuel economy and emissions. Also, LPDi engine has the advantages of higher power output, higher thermal efficiency, higher EGR tolerance due to the operation characteristics of increased volumetric efficiency, compression ratio and ultra-lean combustion scheme. However, LPDi engine has many difficulties to be solved, such as complexity of injection control mode (fuel injection timing, injection rate), fuel injection pressure, spark timing, unburned hydrocarbon and restricted power. This study is investigated to the influence of spark timing, fuel injection position and fuel injection rate on the combustion stability of LPDi engine. Piston shape is constituted the bowl type piston. The characteristics of combustion is analyzed with the variations of spark timing, fuel injection position and fuel injection rate (early injection, late injection) in a LPDi engine.

[$CO_2$] is a well-known greenhouse gas, which is the major source of global warming. Many researchers have studied to reduce $CO_2$ emission in combustion processes. The central method of low $CO_2$ emission is Oxygen/CxHy combustion. Theoretically Oxygen/CxHy combustion only produces $CO_2\;and\;H_2O$ and allows convenient recovery of $CO_2$. The combustion characteristics, flame stability, composition in the flame zone and temperature profile were studied experimentally for various compositions of oxidant by substituting $CO_2\;for\;N_2$ with the constant $O_2$ concentration. Results showed that flame became unstable due to the high heat capacity, low transport rate and strong radiation effect of $CO_2$ in comparison with those of $N_2$. The reaction zone was quenched and broadened, as the ratio of $CO_2\;to\;N_2$ was increased. The emission of NOx in flue gas decreased due to the decreased temperature of the reaction zone. As the conversion ratio of $CO_2\;to\;N_2$ was increased, the emission of CO and the higher temperature zone increased due to decrease of reaction rate by the a quenching effect.

Most researches regarding emulsified fuel were in the areas of emulsifier, emulsified fuel manufacturing and emulsified fuel droplet combustion, but there were little papers published regarding emulsified fuel combustion and boiler efficiency in an industrial boiler. The main purpose of this study is to clarify whether improvements in the boiler efficiency and the reduction of pollutants such as CO, NOx, SOx and smoke exist or not when emulsified fuels are combusted in the commercial boiler. Main experimental parameters were water content in heavy oil , excess $O_2$, and boiler load. The fuels used in this experiment were 0.5 B-C, and 5 kinds of 0.5 B-C/water emulsified fuels. The combustion characteristics of heavy oil and its emulsions with water were investigated in an industrial boiler. The combustion stability was monitored and exhaust gases such as CO, NOx, SOx and smoke were measured with excess $O_2$ and combustion load. In case of emulsified fuel combustion, flame stability was poor and boiler efficiency was lowered by 1.6~5.7%, but emission levels of CO and smoke were improved.

로켓엔진에서 선형 연소 안정한계에 미치는 유한화학반응의 열적 효과와 막냉각 효과를 조사하였다. 안정한계를 평가하기위해 3차원 연소실에서 유한화학반응을 채택한 반응 유동장 계산으로부터 구한 유동변수들을 사용하였다. 주요 유동변수들의 값은 유한화학반응 모델의 채택으로 인해 상당히 달라졌으며 결과적으로 안정한계도 수정되었다. 유한화학반응은 열적 관점에서 안정성 향상에 기여함을 알았다. 또한, 막냉각을 한 경우, 안정성 경향이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

The improvement of combustion stability is very important because it is closely related to the exhaust emission concentrations as well as the fuel consumption during the cold start of SI engine. In our previous studies, the spark and exhaust valve timings were retarded individually from the baseline case to increase the exhaust gas temperature far fast warmup of a close-coupled catalyst. In the study, it was found that combustion stability during cold start becomes worse when the valve timing is retarded from the baseline conditions. The spark and valve timings were simultaneously changed from the baseline conditions to find out the variation of combustion stability during cold start of an Sl engine. Through the study. retarded spark timing by $5^{\circ}$ CA helps improvement of $COV_{imep}$ by $2\%$ and $15^{\circ}C$ increase of exhaust temperature. Retarded exhaust valve timing makes the exhaust gas temperature increase by $30^{\circ}C$, but it also deteriorates the $COV_{imep}$ by $1\%$.

액체 로켓엔진 개발과정에서 수행되는 여러 가지 시험 중 연소 안정성 평가 시험을 통해, KSR-III 로켓엔진의 연소 안정성을 평가하였다. 안정성 평가시험에서, 엔진이 외부 교란에 의한 압력 진동을 감쇠시켜 본래의 안정한 연소를 회복하는 경우, 그 엔진은 연소 안정 화 능력을 가지고 있다고 판정할 수 있다. 로켓엔진은, 교란의 크기를 예측하기 어려운 외부 섭동에 노출될 수 있으므로, 연소 안정화 가능 여부를 확인하는 것과 더불어 엔진이 갖고 있는 연소 안정화 성능을 정량화하여 파악하는 작업이 필요하다. 이를 위해 몇 가지 주요 인자를 도입하였고, 이를 평가하는 방법을 검토하였다. 성공적으로 완료된 KSR-III 로켓 개발과정에서 로켓엔진의 안정성 확보를 위해 6회의 안정성 평가 시험이 수행되었다. 이를 토대로, 연소 안정화 성능의 정량화 방법을 KSR-III 엔진에 적용하여 엔진의 안정화 성능을 분석하였다.
