다공성 물질 내부의 연소 현상은 저발열량 연료의 연소 및 연소열의 재생을 위한 수단으로 다양한 형태로 산업현장에 응용되고 있다. 하지만 다공성 물질 내부에서의 연소 현상은 직접적인 관찰이 힘들다는 점과 다공성 물질의 복잡한 내부 구조로 인해 매우 제한적인 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 복잡한 다공성 물질의 구조 내부에서의 화염의 안정화 특성에 관한 이해를 위해 내부 관찰이 가능하도록 다수의 석영판으로 구성된 다중채널 형태의 모형 연소기를 제안하고 이를 이용한 간단한 실험 결과를 제시한다. 그리고 이러한 다중채널내부 화염의 안정화에 관한 간단한 기초해석 모델을 제안한다. 다수의 채널 내부에 형성된 화염은 채널간의 열전달에 의해 화염의 공간 분포가 변화하고 그 결과로 연소기 내부의 가연한계에 변화가 발생한다. 채널의 재료 특성 및 당량비에 따른 가연한계의 변화를 제시하였으며, 이 결과는 다공성 연소기 내부화염의 이해에 도움될 것이다.

논문에서는 상용급 가스터빈을 대상으로 해서 셰일가스를 연료로 공급할 때 유동 및 연소특성을 3-D 수치해석적 방법으로 구하였다. 이 때, Standard k-e 난류모델, 2단 메탄산화반응, Finite rate/Eddy dissipation 반응모델, DTRM 복사모델이 사용되었고, 기준조건(도시가스, PR 0.07)에서 출구 측에서 형성되는 온도는 이전 문헌 값과 비슷한 값을 보였다. 위 모델을 바탕으로 해서 연료조건으로 기존의 도시가스 외에 세 가지 셰일가스 조건(도시가스 대비 열량기준 80%, 90%, 105%)을 선정하였고, 각 연료조건에 대하여 세 가지 연료분사조건(PR=0.7, 0.9, 0.11)에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과, 모든 셰일가스 연료공급 조건에 대하여 도시가스 대비 온도 혹은 NOx 측면에서 연소안정화를 만족하였다. 또한 모든 조건에 대해서 PR이 증가할수록 출구측 평균온도는 일정했지만 NOx량은 증가하였다. 이는 파일럿비가 증가할수록 상대적으로 확산연소가 증가했기 때문이다.

Combustion chamber crevices in SI engines are identified as the largest contributors to the engine-out hydrocarbon emissions. The largest crevice is the piston ring-pack crevice. A numerical simulation method was developed, which would allow to predict and understand the oxidation process of piston crevice hydrocarbons. A computational mesh with a moving grid to represent the piston motion was built and a 4-step oxidation model involving seven species was used. The sixteen coefficients in the rate expressions of 4-step oxidation model are optimized based on the results from a study on the detailed chemical kinetic mechanism of oxidation in the engine combustion chamber. Propane was used as the fuel in order to eliminate oil layer absorption and the liquid fuel effect. Initial conditions of the burned gas temperature and in-cylinder pressure were obtained from the 2-zone cycle simulation model. And the simulation was carried out from the end of combustion to the exhaust valve opening for various engine speeds, loads, equivalence ratios and crevice volumes. The total hydrocarbon (THC) oxidation in the crevice during the expansion stroke was 54.9% at 1500 rpm and 0.4 bar (warmed-up condition). The oxidation rate increased at high loads, high swirl ratios, and near stoichiometric conditions. As the crevice volume increased, the amount of unburned HC left at EVO (Exhaust Valve Opening) increased slightly.

As the size of a combustor decreases to a MEMS scale, heat loss increases and becomes a dominant effect on the performance of the devices. Existing models, however, are not adequate to predict the heat transfer and combustion processes in such small scales. In the present study, a semi-empirical model to calculate heat loss from a micro combustor is described. The model derives heat transfer coefficients that best fits the heat loss characteristics of a micro combustor that is represented by transient pressure record after combustion is completed. From conservation of energy equation applied to the burned gas inside the combustor, a relationship between pressure and heat transfer is reduced. Two models for heat transfer coefficients were tested; a constant and first order polynomial of temperature with its coefficients determined from fitting with measurements. The model was tested on a problem of cooling process of burnt gas in a micro combustor and comparison with measurements showed good agreements. The heat transfer coefficients were used for combustion calculation in a micro vessel. The results showed the dependence of flame speed on the scale of the chamber through enhanced heat loss.

The spray combustion and spray cooling depends on droplet evaporation. So, evaporation model for spray has been requested and lots of investigation has been done and various reliable models have been developed also for last few decades. In the present study, One dimensional quasi-steady spherically symmetric droplet evaporation model for micro-gravity is developed. The gas phase was assumed as steady state and the thermophysical properties are calculated as a function of temperature, pressure and composition and the properties used in the model was validated by NIST web data and overall evaporation history results was compared with experimental results by Nomura and Qasim and gave satisfactory agreements. Through this model, diverse phenomenon was investigated, especially regarding the effects of ambient pressure and temperature. The effects of pressure for the droplet evaporation time were studied. The high pressure increased the droplet surface temperature and made effect on the evaporation time depend on atmospheric temperature. The role of the ambient temperature was investigated and explained. The basic investigation for the evaporation process according to variation of droplet diameter and surface temperature were also investigated and the well-known phenomena, like D-square-law, were reported, too.

쓰러기 소각로는 다음과 같은 불명확한 요소들을 포함한다. 즉 연료로 사용되는 쓰레기의 물리적 특성의변동 그리고 연소현상의 복잡성 등이다. 이것은 기존의 제어기법을 쓰레기의 연소제어에 적용하기가 매우 어렵게 만든다. 따라서 대부분의 쓰레기 소각로는 조작자의 운전에 의존한다. 본 논문에서는 쓰레기 소각로의 연소제어를 위한 다변수퍼지모델 예측제어를 제안한다. 쓰레기 소각로의 모델을 구하기 위해 적응 네트워크에 기초한 퍼자추론시스템이 사용되고 동정된 퍼지 모델을 이용하여 다변수 퍼지모델 예측제어기가 설계된다. 그리고 제안된 제어기의 성능을 평가하기 위해 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션이 수행되었다.

Hydrogen safety is one of important issues for future public usage of hydrogen. When hydrogen is released in a compartment, the occurrence of detonation must be prohibited. In order to evaluate the possibility of DDT (Deflagration to Detonation Transition) in the compartment with the hydrogen release, sigma-lambda criteria which were developed from experimental data are commonly used. But they give a little conservative results because they do not consider the detailed geometrical effect of the compartment. This is the main reason of the need to mechanistic combustion model for evaluation of hydrogen flame propagation and acceleration. In this study, sigma-lambda criteria and combustion model were systematically applied to evaluate a possibility of DDT in a IRWST compartment of APR1400 nuclear power plant during a hypothetical accident. A combustion model in an open source CFD code OpenFOAM has been applied for analyses of hydrogen flame propagation. The model was validated by evaluating the flame acceleration tests conducted in FLAME facility. And it was applied to evaluate the characteristics of a hydrogen flame propagation in the IRWST compartment of APR1400.

The present study is mainly motivated to investigate the vaporization, auto-ignition, and combustion of liquid fuel spray injected into high pressure environment. The unsteady, multi-dimensional models were used for realistic simulation of spray as well as prediction of accurate ignition delay time. The Separated Flow (SF) model which considers the finite rate of transport between liquid and gas phases was employed to represent the interactions between spray and gas field. Among the SF models, the Discrete Droplet Model (DDM) which simulates the spray using finite number of representative samples of discrete droplets was adopted. The Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation was used to analyze the two-phase interactions. In order to predict an evaporation rate of droplet in high pressure environment, the high pressure vaporization model was applied using thermodynamic equilibrium and phase equilibrium at droplet surface. The high pressure effect as well as high temperature effect was considered in the calculation of liquid and gas properties. In case of vaporization, an interaction between droplets was studied through the simulation of spray. The interaction is shown up differently whether the ambient gas field is at normal pressure or high pressure. Also, the characteristics of spray behavior in high pressure environment were investigated through the comparison with normal ambient pressure case. In both cases, the spray behaviors are simulated through the distributions of temperature and reaction rate in gas field.

Coal is the energy resource which is important with the new remarking energy resource. Coal combustion produces more NOx per unit of energy than any other major combustion technology. Pollutant emission associated with coal combustion will have a huge impact on the environment. Coal conversion has three processes which are drying, coal devolatilization and char oxidation. Coal devolatilization process is important because it has been shown that HCN which is converted from volatile N contributes 60 to 80% of the total NOx produced. This paper addresses mass release behavior of char, tar, gas and HCN in an experiment of Laminar Flow Reactor with two coals such as Roto middle coal (Sub-bituminous) and Anglo coal (Bituminous). The experiment is compared with the data predicted by CPD model for mass release of HCN about Roto south, Indominco, Weris creek and China orch coals. The results show that HCN increases as a function of decreasing the ratio of fixed carbon(FC)/ volatile matter(VM of the coals contain.)

The unsteady heat release characteristics play a significant role in combustion instabilities observed in low emissions gas turbine combustors. Such combustion instabilities are often caused by coupling mechanisms between unsteady heat release rates and acoustic perturbations. A generalized model of the turbulent flame response to acoustic perturbations is analytically formulated by considering a distributed heat release along a curved mean flame front and using the flame's kinematic model that incorporates the turbulent flame development. The effects of the development of flame speed on the flame transfer functions are examined by calculating the transfer functions with a constant or developing flame speed. The flame transfer function due to velocity fluctuation shows that, when a developing flame speed is used, the transfer function magnitude decreases faster with Strouhal number than the results with a constant flame speed at low Strouhal numbers. The flame transfer function due to mixture ratio fluctuation, however, exhibits the opposite results: the transfer function magnitude with a developing flame speed increases faster than that with a constant flame speed at low Strouhal numbers. Oscillatory behaviors of both transfer function magnitudes are shown to be damped when a developing flame speed is used. Both transfer functions also show similar behaviors in the phase characteristics: The phases of both transfer functions with a developing flame speed increase more rapidly than those with a constant flame speed.
