화염스트레치와 확산선호도가 예혼합화염에 미치는 영향을 몇가지 모델에 대해 현상적으로 고 찰하였다. 즉, 정상상태의 구형화염, 구형으로 전파되는 화염, 균일유동장내의 곡면화염, 일차원 평면화염, 그리고 확대유동장내에서 스트레치된 평면화염등을 고찰하였으며, 이 해석의 결과는 화염면의 면적 변화율로 정의된 화염스트레치의 제인자들 즉, 비균일 접선속도장과 전파화염의 곡률에 의한 영향들이 공통적 특성을 나타냄을 보여주고 있다. 화염스트레치와 확산선호도가 화염전파속도에 미치는 복합효과는 세가지로 나타나는데 이는 화염온도의 변화에 따른 화학반 응강도의 변동, 열 및 물질확산의 강도차이, 그리고 대류 및 확산전달의 방향의 상이함에 기인 한다.

The combustion characteristics of methane oxygen diffusion flames have been investigated to give basic information for designing industrial oxyfuel combustors. NOx reduction has become one of the most determining factors in the combustor design since the small amount of nitrogen is included from the current low cost oxygen production process. Flame lengths decreased with increasing fuel or oxygen velocity because of the enhancement of mixing effect. Correlation equation between flame length and turbulent kinetic energy was proposed. NOx concentration was reduced with increasing fuel or oxygen velocity because of the enhanced entrainment of the product gas into flame zone as well as the reduction of residence time in combustion zone.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the flame structure and combustion characteristics in the model gas turbine combustor changing equivalence ratio. For this purpose, temperature and ion current were measured and these data were analyzed by the PDF and power spectra technique. We found that the flame length is longer while increasing the equivalence ratio in experimental condition, and especially ${\psi}=0.19$, combustion reaction was active by the stable swirl flow. and these flames were governed by the random three dimensional eddy.

Synthesis of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers on a catalytic metal substrate, using an ethylene fueled inverse diffusion flame, was investigated. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes, with diameters of 20 - 60nm, were formed on the substrate coated with nickel-nitrate in the region of 5 - 6mm from the flame center along the radial direction. The gas temperature for this region was ranging from about 1400 to 900K. Nickel particles originated from the coated nickel-nitrate on the substrate were the major catalyst for the formation of the nanomaterials. HR-TEM and Raman spectrum revealed that synthesized carbon nanotubes had multi-walled structures with some defective graphite layers at walls.

Extinguishing limits of laminar ethylene/oxygen flames in both normal and inverse co-flow jet burner have been determined experimentally and computationally. An inert gas($N_2$, Ar, $CO_2$) was added into the oxidizer to find the critical concentration and the effectiveness of the agents on flame extinction. The experimental results showed that the physical aspect of inert gases was main mechanism for flame blow-out as same as cup burner test, but the flow effect should be considered to determine the extinction concentration. The numerical prediction was performed with modified WSR model and the result was in good agreement with the measurements. The experimental and numerical methods could be used for the assessment of various flame suppression agents such as minimum extinguishing concentration.

The method of flame hole dynamics is demonstrated as a mean to simulate turbulent flame extinction. The core of the flame hole dynamics involves derivation of a random walk mapping for the flame holes, created by local quenching, between the burning and quenched states provided that the dynamic characteristics of flame edges is known. Then, the random walk mapping is projected to a background turbulent field. The numerical simulations are carried out with the further simplifications of flame string and unconditioned scalar dissipation rate. The simulation results show how the chance of partial quenching is influenced by the crossover scalar dissipation rate. Finally, a list of improvements, necessary to achieve more realistic turbulent flame quenching simulation, are discussed.

The effects of SiCl$_4$addition on flame structures have been studied in flame hydrolysis deposition (FHD) processes using Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) and planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) to measure temperatures and OH concentrations, respectively. The results demonstrate that even a small amount of SiCl$_4$ addition can change thermal and chemical structures of H$_2$/O$_2$ diffusion flames. When SiCl$_4$ is added to a flame temperature decreases in non-reacting zone due to the increases in both specific heat and density of the gas mixture, while flame temperature increase in particle formation zone due to the heat release through hydrolysis and oxidation reactions of SiCl$_4$. It is also found that OH concentration decreases dramatically in particle formation zone where temperatures increase. This can be attributed to consumption of oxidative species and generation of HCl during silica formation.

Blending effects of hydrogen and water vapor on flame structure and NOx emission behavior are numerically studied with detailed chemistry in methane-air counterflow diffusion flames. The composition of fuel is systematically changed from pure methane and pure hydrogen to the blending fuels of methane-hydrogen-water vapor through the molar addition of $H_2O$. Flame structure is changed considerably for hydrogen-blending methane flames and hydrogen-blending methane flames diluted with water vapor in comparison to pure methane flame. These complicated changes of flame structures also affect NOx emission behavior considerably. The changes of thermal NO and Fenimore NO are analyzed for various combinations of the fuel composition. Importantly contributing reaction steps to thermal NO and Fenimore NO are addressed in pure methane, hydrogen-blending methane flames, and hydrogen-blending methane flames diluted with water vapor.

Double coaxial are jets(annular and coaxial air jets) between which propane gas is fed was selected to study the structure of diffusion flames in turbulent shear flow. Schlieren and direct photographs are taken to visualize the flame structure. Mean and fluctuating temperatures and ion currents were measured to investigate the macroscopic and the instantaneous flame structure. The objective of this study is to understand the interaction between combustion and mixing process especially in the transition region of turbulent shear flow. The investigation reported in this paper focuses on the macroscopic and the instantaneous structures of three flames obtained. The increased mixing effect resulting from increase of Reynolds number of central air jet makes the flame bluish and short. When the velocity of surrounding air stream is higher than that of central air jet, the instantaneous flame structure is composed of coherent structure. It is considered that the flame structure of transitional region of mixing layer depends on the structure of mixing layer of non-reacting conditions.

The stabilization characteristics of diffusion flame formed in the wake of a cylindrical flame holder were investigated. Distribution of turbulence intensity, concentration distribution of combustion gas, and ion currents were measured. The turbulence intensity in the wake of cylindrical- game holder is increased with increase of diameter or blockage ratio of grid. If the auxiliary fuel is injected into recirculation zone, the concentration of $C_3H_8$ is high, but the concentration of $CO_2$ is low at the boundary of recirculation zone. The region with highest average value of ion currents in the middle of flame is moved to the upstream side by the turbulent components of main stream. The flame mass with partially active reaction is moved fast for uniform flow and turbulence generator G3, but the flame mass with relatively slow reaction is moved slowly for turbulence generator G1.
