To understand hydrogen jet liftoff height, the stabilization mechanism of turbulent lifted jet flames under non-premixed conditions was studied. The objectives were to determine flame stability mechanisms, to analyze coexistence of two different flame structure, and to characterize the lifted jet at the flame stabilization point. Hydrogen flow velocity varied from 100 to 300 m/s. Coaxial air velocity was changed from 12 to 20 m/s. Simultaneous velocity field and reaction zone measurements used, PIV/OH PLIF techniques with Nd:YAG lasers and CCD/ICCD cameras. Liftoff height decreased with the increase of fuel velocity. The flame stabilized in a lower velocity region next to the faster fuel jet due to the mixing effects of the coaxial air flow. The flame stabilization was related to turbulent intensity and strain rate assuming that combustion occurs where local flow velocity and turbulent flame propagation velocity are balanced. At the flame base, two different flame structures were found that was the partial premixed flames and premixed flame.

The present work determined the flame structure characteristics of coal syngas combusted inside swirl burners with various nozzle types. Fuel nozzle types are largely classified into two groups of axial and tangential. Experiments were carried out for investigating the effects of fuel nozzle geometry, fuel composition ratio, heating rate, excess air, and degree of swirl on the turbulent diffusion flame structure. To determine the characteristics of the flame structure, axial type fuel nozzle diameter of laboratory-scale combustor is varied to 1.23, 1.96, and 2.95 ㎜ and the direction of tangential type nozzles are varied to radial, clockwise, and counter-clockwise. The comparison of the experimental results was performed to understand functional parameters relating the flame structure. Data analysis showed that the vertical straight flame height generally decreased with increasing swirl number and decreasing axial type nozzle diameter. Flame height established with tangential type nozzle is 3 times shorter than that with vertical type. The flame structures among the 3 different tangential fuel nozzles relatively showed no particular difference. By increasing the heating rate, the width of flame increased generally in both vertical and tangential flame. Within the present experimental parameters of the investigation, flame structure is mainly depends on the nozzle type of the combustor. The visually investigated flame lengths are confirmed through the analysis of temperature profile of each flame.

Analytical investigation of acoustic wave scattering from turbulent premixed flames was conducted to evaluate the acoustic energy amplification/damping. Such acoustic energy change is attributed to the acoustic velocity jump due to flame's heat release. Small perturbation method up to second order and stochastic analysis were utilized to formulate net acoustic energy and the energy transfer from coherent to incoherent energy. Randomly wrinkled flame surface is responsible for the energy transfer from coherent to incoherent field. Nondimensional parameters that govern net acoustic energy were determined: rms height and correlation length of flame front, incident wave frequency, incidence angle, and temperature ratio. The dependence of net acoustic energy upon these parameters is illustrated by numerical simulations in case of Gaussian statistics of flame front. Total net energy was amplified and the major factors that affect such energy amplification are incidence angle and temperature ratio. Coherent (incoherent) energy is damped (amplified) with rms height and correlation length of flame front.

Characteristics of methane turbulent non-premixed flame have been studied experimentally in coflow jets with initial temperature variation. The results showed that the premixed flame model and the large-scale mixing model for turbulent flame stabilization were effective for methane fuel considered initial temperature variation. Especially, the premixed flame model has been improved by considering nitrogen dilution for the liftoff height of turbulent lifted flame. In estimating blowout velocity and the liftoff height at blowout with the premixed flame model and the large-scale mixing model, the two turbulent models were excellently correlated by considering the effect of physical properties and buoyancy for the initial temperature variation.

본 연구에서는 지표화의 대표적인 연소물질인 굴참나무(Quercus Variabilis: Q.V.)와 소나무(Pinus Densiflora: P.D.) 낙엽을 이용하여 연료의 밀도 변화에 따른 열 유체속도, 연소온도, 질량감소속도, 화염높이 및 연소시간 등의 연소특성을 분석하였다. 바스켓 높이는 10cm, 지름 20, 30, 40 그리고 50cm의 원통형 바스켓에 밀도별로 각각 채운 후 표면에 점화원을 인가하여 실험을 실시하였다. 침엽수종 낙엽의 경우 밀도와 지름의 증가함에 따라 질량감소속도, 화염지속시간, 화염의 높이 그리고 연소시간은 증가한 반면, 활엽수종 낙엽의 경우 질량감소속도와 화염높이는 증가하다가 감소하였으며 화염지속시간과 연소시간은 증가하였다. 또한, 기체유속 및 온도는 화염 높이가 커질수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.

When large size nozzle with low jet velocity is used, the buoyancy effect arises from the density difference among propane, air, and burnt gas. Flame characteristics in such buoyant jets have been investigated numerically to elucidate the effect of buoyancy on lifted flames. It has been demonstrated that the cold jet has circular cone shape since upwardly injected propane jet decelerates and forms stagnation region. In contrast to the cold flow, the reacting flow with a lifted flame has no stagnation region by the buoyancy force induced from the burnt gas. To further illustrate the buoyancy effect on lifted flames, the reacting flow with buoyancy is compared with non-buoyant reacting flow. Non-buoyant flame is stabilized at much lower height than the buoyant flame. At a certain range of fuel jet velocities and fuel dilutions. an oscillating flame is demonstrated numerically showing that the height of flame base and tip vary during one cycle of oscillation. Under the same condition. non-buoyant flame exhibits only steady lifted flames. This confirms the buoyancy effect on the mechanism of lifted flame oscillation.

High efficient and environment friendly combustion technologies are used to be operated an extreme condition, which results in unintended flame instability such as extinction and oscillation. The use of electromagnetic energy is one of methods to enhance the combustion stability and a microwave as electromagnetic wave is receiving increased attention recently because of its high performance and low-cost system. In this study, an experiment was performed with jet diffusion flames induced by microwave. Micro jet was introduced to simulate the high velocity of industrial combustor. The results show that micro jet flames had three different modes with increasing oxidizer velocity; attached yellow flame, lifted flame, and lifted partially premixed flame. As a microwave was induced to flames, the overall flame stability and blowout limit were extended with the higher microwave power. Especially the interaction between a flame and a microwave was shown clearly in the partially premixed flame, in which the lift-off height decreased and NOx emission measured in post flame region increased with increasing microwave power. It might be attributed to increase of reactivity due to the abundance of radical pool and the enhanced absorption to thermal energy.

Characteristics of lifted flame for highly diluted propane with nitrogen in high temperature coflowing air have been experimentally investigated, and the stabilization mechanism of lifted flame in high temperature air coflow have been proposed. As the coflow temperature increases, the liftoff height of flame decreased due to the increase of stoichiometry laminar burning velocity. At same coflow temperature, the difference of liftoff height between the fuel mole fractions has been disappeared by scaling the liftoff velocity with stoichiometry laminar burning velocity. It has been found that lifted flame can be stabilized for even smaller fuel velocity than stoichiometry laminar burning velocity. This can be attributed to buoyancy effect and the liftoff velocity characteristics for coflow temperature support it.

삼지화염의 화염안정화 메커니즘 중 중요한 한 가지는 화염전파속도이다. 화염전파속도의 정량적인 규명을 위해 Bilger는 층류 유동이론에 근거하여 혼합분율 기울기에 비선형적으로 연관된 삼지화염 전파속도를 실험으로 제시하였다. 그러나 지금까지의 연구에서는 화염의 곡률에 따른 삼지화염 전파속도에 관하여 논의된 바가 없기에, 본 논문에서 화염의 곡률에 따른 화염전파속도의 연관성을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 논문의 결과로 층류부상화염의 부상높이가 연료의 출구속도와 노즐의 직경에 따라서 결정됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 정지된 부상화염의 유동속도에 비례하는 연료의 출구속도에 곡률의 크기가 비례함을 보였고, 또 층류부상화염의 부상높이가 높아질수록 곡률반경의 크기가 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 곡률효과의 중요성이 인식되어야 하며 화염안정화 메커니즘을 표현하기 위해 제안된 Bilger의 제안식이 곡률효과를 고려하여 수정되어야한다.
