The combustion characteristics of anthracite, which follow a complex process with low reactivity, must be considered through the dynamic behavior of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was performed to analyze the combustion characteristics of anthracite in a pilot scale 0.1 MW_th Oxy-fuel circulating fluidized bed (Oxy-CFB) boiler. The 0.1MW_th Oxy-CFB boiler is composed of combustor (0.15 m l.D., 10 m High), cyclone, return leg, and so on. To perform CFD analysis, a 3D simulation model reactor was designed and used. The anthracite used in the experiment has an average particle size of 1,070 ㎛ and a density of 2,326 kg/m³. The flow pattern of gas-solids inside the reactor according to the change of combustion environment from air combustion to oxygen combustion was investigated. At this time, it was found that the temperature distribution in air combustion and oxygen combustion showed a similar pattern, but the pressure distribution was lower in oxygen combustion. addition, since it has a higher CO₂ concentration in oxygen combustion than in air combustion, it can be expected that carbon dioxide capture will take place actively. As a result, it was confirmed that this study can contribute to the optimized design and operation of a circulating fluidized bed reactor using anthracite.

Combustion performance characteristics of subscale high-pressure combustor were investigated at 70 bar combustion pressure. All tests were successfully performed without any damage on the combustor. The mixing characteristics and distribution pattern of the injectors were found to have considerable influence on the combustion performance. The characteristic velocity of the combustor was higher in the injector with internal mixing than that of external mixing and in the injector with smaller mass flowrate. The pressure fluctuations at the propellant manifolds and the combustion chamber were measured to be less than 3% of the mean combustion pressure to meet the combustion stability criterion and to prove stable combustion characteristics of the combustor.

The oxy-fuel combustion heating characteristics is investigated experimentally by measuring furnace and steel temperature variations for batch type furnace simulator with a specially designed low NOx oxy-fuel burner. Economics of using oxy-fuel combustion is confirmed and, the furnace and steel temperature variations for different heating conditions are compared to deduce optimal heating control pattern for energy savings and rapid uniform heating. High $CO_2$ concentration (> 80-90%), low NOx (< 40ppm) and CO (< 10ppm) are measured in the flue gas. Temperature differences (< $30^{circ}C$) inside the furnace and steel are reduced relatively by increasing the burner jet momentum.

Operation parameters for large scale industrial facility such as iron making plant are carefully selected through elaborate tests and monitoring rather than through a mathematical modeling. One of the recent progresses for better energy utilization in iron ore sintering process is the distribution pattern of fuel inside a macro particle which is formed with fines of iron ore, coke and limestone. Results of model tests which have been used as a basis for the improved operation in the field are introduced and a theoretical modeling study is presented to supplement the experiment-based approach with fundamental arguments of physical modeling, which enables predictive computation beyond the limited region of tests and adjustment. A single fuel particle model along with one-dimensional bed combustion model of solid particles are utilized, and thermal processes of combustion and heat transfer are found to be dominant consideration in the discussions of productivity and energy utilization in the sintering process.

Recently, many researchers have been studied a D.I. diesel engine because of the exhaust gas restriction and fuel consumption performance. It is well known that the fuel injection characteristics are the key factors on the diesel combustion and exhaust emission. In this study, the fuel injection characteristics of 5-hole injector and the combustion characteristics are investigated with the amount of fuel by means of the visualization method and visualization D.I. diesel engine system. As the results of the experiments, the spray pattern of the fuel injection and the diffusion flame of a D.I. diesel engine are clarified. In addition, combustion phenomena with operation conditions such as engine speed and engine load are made clear.

Combustion tests using six bi-swirl coaxial injectors with different shapes and recess lengths were performed in a model combustion chamber capable of flame visualization. By utilizing gaseous methane and gaseous oxygen instead of actual propellants, the effects of injector design and experimental conditions on the flame structure and combustion stability were analyzed. It was found that not only the experimental conditions but also the injector geometry such as the recess length and orifice diameter had a considerable influence on the combustion stability. In addition, it was confirmed that the heat release pattern changed with the occurrence of combustion instability.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the flame propagation speed, radiation range, diffusion pattern and combustion completion time of a fire by filling a divided space with single combustible substance. It was found that the flame propagation speed was the fastest (0.2 s) for kerosene and the lowest (82.1 s) for alcohol. In the case of paint thinner, it took 19.0 s for the flame to reach its peak at the fastest speed after ignition while in the case of alcohol, it took 138.6 s for the flame to reach its peak at the lowest speed. In the case of the combustion of 200 ml of flammable liquids, the combustion completion time was 79.9 s for paint thinner, which is the shortest, 135 s for gasoline, 170 s for kerosene, 231.4 s for diesel and 337.0 s for alcohol. In addition, when flammable liquids are combusted, the lower part of the flame is governed by laminar flow pattern and the upper part of the flame showed turbulence pattern. In the case of a test performed for bean oil, it could be seen that if the fire source was removed, the flame was automatically extinguished without further combustion and that white smoke was generated due to incomplete combustion.

A mathematical model has been developed to describe the turbulent and reversed flow with convective heat transfer in a cylindrical combustion chamber. By using the mathematical model for high temperature flow enables the trends in overall heat transfer rates to be predicted. The model was applied to the design of the combustion chamber. The influences of the size of air inlet and inlet velocity were investigated for process optimization. Through modelling work it is found that the heat transfer rate to the chamber wall may be enhanced by adjusting the air flow and heat transfer pattern through selecting the air inlet condition. Internal plate has less influence to the heat transfer characteristics.

To evaluate the combustion instability of a gas turbine combustor, the DMD technique was applied. The mode frequency results for each fuel composition were compared with FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) results. The damping coefficient, which is a quantitative parameter for combustion instability, was evaluated for 5 experimental cases. The flame transfer function (FTF) was calculated in the most unstable test case. In deriving the FTF, gain and phase were calculated using DMD technique. As a result of the analysis of the OH radical perturbation of the DMD, the heat release fluctuation was the highest at 100 Hz, at which the highest value of gain is observed. The frequency of FFT and FTF were different. In order to clarify the reason for this, FTF for various resonance frequencies was performed and it shows that the pattern of gain was similar to FFT.
