Experimental and numerical studies were conducted to investigate flame behaviors near flammable limits for downstream-interacting SNG-air premixed flames in a counter-flow configuration. The SNG fuel consisted of a methane, a propane, and a hydrogen with volumetric ratios of 91, 6, and 3%, respectively. The most appropriate priority for some reliable reaction mechanisms examined was given to the mechanism of UC San diego via comparison of lean extinction limits attained numerically with experimental ones. Flame stability map was presented with a functional dependencies of lower and upper methane concentrations in terms of global strain rate. The results show that, at the global strain rate of $30s^{-1}$, lean extinction boundary is slanted while rich extinction one is relatively less inclined because of the dependency of such extinction boundary shapes on deficient reactant Lewis number governed by methane mainly. Further increase of global strain rate forces both extinction boundaries to be more slanted and to be shrunk, resulting in an island of extinction boundary and subsequently one flame extinction limit. Extinction mechanisms for lean and rich, symmetric and asymmetric extinction boundary were identified and discussed via heat losses and chemical interaction.

Characteristics of premixed flames in counter-flow system are numerically studied using a detailed chemical reaction mechanism including gas phase radiation. Without radiation effect accounted, low CO and high NO$_{x}$ emission indices are observed, when strain rate decreases, due to increased residence time and higher flame temperature. Higher NO$_{2}$ production has been also observed when two premixed flames are interacting or cold air stream is mixed with burned gas. The rate of NO$_{x}$ production and destruction is dependent upon the diffusional strength of H and OH radicals, the existence of NO and the concentration of HO$_{2}$. For radiating flames, the peak temperature and NO$_{x}$ production rate decreases as the strain rate decreases. At high strain rate, it is found that the effect of radiation on flame is little due to its negligible radiating volume. It is also found that NO$_{x}$ production from the interacting premixed flame is reduced due to reduced temperature resulting from radiation heat loss. It is concluded that the radiation from gas has significant effect of flame structure and on emission characteristics.ristics.

A direct numerical simulation (DNS) was applied to nonpremixed counter-flow diffusion flames between oxidizer and fuel ducts. The objective of this study is to evaluate the numerical method for simulation of axisymmetric counterflow diffusion flames. Effects of computational domain size and grid size were scrutinized, and then the method was applied to air-methane diffusion flames. The results at zero gravity conditions were in good agreement with those obtained by the one-dimension flame code OPPDIF. It was confirmed thai the numerical method is applicable to the diffusion flames at the normal gravity conditions since the results clearly showed the effects of buoyancy and velocity ratio.

기후 변화에 따른 위험성은 전 세계적으로 오랜 기간 강조되고 있으며, 이를 극복하기 위한 노력은 해운분야에서도 국제해사 기구를 중심으로 이어지고 있다. 연소과정에서 발생한 매연을 제어하기 위하여 매연 생성 특성에 관한 연구는 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 에틸렌 가스를 기반으로 한 대향류 확산화염에서 불활성 기체인 질소를 혼합하여 화염온도, 화염형태, 매연 생성 관련된 화학종의 상태변화를 확인하기 위해 광소멸법과 화학반응 수치해석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과. 질소의 혼합비율이 증가함에 따라 화염온도 감소와 매연체적분율 감소로 이루어졌다. 매연 입자가 분포하는 구간도 감소하였으며, 30% 이상 혼합비율이 높아지면 체적분율 감소율이 감소하였다. 매연 성장에 관여하는 화학종들의 몰분율도 감소하였다. HACA 반응 관련 화학종은 탄화수소 연료 비율에 따라 영향을 받으나, 홀수탄소 경로 관련 화학종은 탄화수소 연료 비율뿐만 아니라 화염온도 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였다.

Numerical analysis was conducted to confirm the characteristics of extinction behavior in NH₃/CH₄ counterflow symmetrical flames. Numerical simulations were run on CHEMKIN-PRO, using the OPPDIF code, with Okafor's mechanisms, which had the lowest error rate compared to Colson's experimental data in the our previous part I study. The chemical interactions of merged flames were examined by analyzing the production rate of major chemical species and key radicals with the volume fractional percentage of ammonia and global strain rate. The interaction phenomenon of the flames could be identified by observing the main chemical reaction path of the merged flames at the stagnation plane.

In order to investigate the effect of dimethyl ether (DME) on PAH and soot formation, the fuel has been mixed to the counter-flow diffusion flames of ethylene. Laser-induced incandescence and laser-induced fluorescence techniques were employed to measure relative concentrations of soot volume fraction and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentration, respectively. Results showed that even though pure DME flame produces the minimal amount of PAH and soot, the mixture fuel of DME and ethylene could increase PAH and soot formation, as compared to those of pure ethylene flame. This implies that even though DME has been known to be a clean fuel for soot formation, the mixture fuel of DME and the hydrocarbon fuel could produce enhanced production of soot. Numerical simulation demonstrated that methyl (CH$_{3}$) radical generated by the initial pyrolysis of DME can be contributed to the enhancement of PAH and soot formation, through the formation of propargyl (C$_{3}$H$_{3}$) radical.

열교환기는 용도에 따라 여러가지 형태가 존재하지만 중요한 것은 열교환기의 성능을 향상시킴으로서 열교환기의 크기를 소형화하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 그러나 보일러처럼 열교환기가 버너 앞에 위치할 경우 열교환기의 효율도 중요하지만 환경오염물질의 배출특성도 고려되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비예혼합화염보다 화염길이가 짧고 당량비 조절을 통해 $NO_x$ 및 CO 배출을 제어할 수 있는 예혼합방식의 버너 앞에 원형관 열교환기를 설치한 후 열교환기 관사이의 거리 및 당량비를 변화시킬 때 $NO_x$와 CO의 배출특성과 열교환기의 열효율을 실험적으로 구하였다.

The effects of interaction between partially premixed and premixed swirl flames on CO and NOx emissions were experimentally investigated using a hybrid/dual swirl jet combustor for a micro-gas turbine. Under the condition of constant angle ($45^{\circ}$) for outer swirl vane, the angle and direction of inner swirl vane installed for a partially premixed flame were varied as main parameters with a constant fuel flow rate for each nozzle. It was found that for all conditions, CO and NOx emissions were measured below 4 ppm and 15 ppm at 15% $O_2$, respectively, in a wide range of equivalence ratio (0.6~0.9). For co-swirl flows, CO emission increased dramatically as the angle of inner swirl vane increased from $15^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$ near lean-flammability limit (i.e. equivalence ratio of 0.5). On the other hand, the case of swirl $angle=45^{\circ}$ provided the lowest NOx emission at higher equivalence ratios than 0.6. For counter-swirl flows, the case of swirl $angle=45^{\circ}$ extended the lean-flammability limit but higher NOx emissions were found compared to those of co-swirl flows. These results could be inferred by interaction between (inner) partially premixed and (outer) premixed swirl flames. However, these estimations were not clear yet because there was insufficient data on turbulent flow structure and fuel-air mixing in the present experimental approach.

활성탄에 흡착되어 있는 유기질을 처리하기 위하여 역류산화반응이 개발되었고 그것에 대한 평가가 이루어 졌다. 역류산화반응이란 산소의 흐름과 반대로 이동하는 자발적인 불꽃을 이용하여 유기질을 파괴 및 제거함과 동시에 폐활성탄을 재생하는 방법이다. 본 연구를 통하여 얻어진 실험결과를 고찰해 보면, 활성탄의 질량손실과 불꽃의 온도가 산소의 흐름속도에 절대적으로 의존하였고, 재생탄의 비표면적이 거의 완전히 회복되었으며, 특히 활성탄에 흡착되어 있는 열에 안정한 PCBs를 거의 완전히 파괴 및 제거(99.99%이상)할 수 있었다.

산화제 주입기 배열 변화에 따른 End-Burning 하이브리드 연소기의 연소실 내부 유동장의 특성 및 온도장 분포도의 경향을 파악하기 위해 수치해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 스월을 동반하는 하이브리드 연소실내 확산 화염의 주요 거동을 얻기 위해 7가지의 다른 O/F 비를 갖는 연소의 기본 특성을 분석하였다. 산화제 주입기의 위치 변화 및 공급방식이 연료와 산화제의 혼합율을 크게 지배하고 온도분포에도 강한 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에 사용된 여러 산화제 주입기 배열중에서 counter rotating 유동을 유발시키는 주입기가 가장 좋은 혼합효율을 보였으나 벽면 근처에서 관찰된 고온부의 발생 문제가 대두되었다.
