The purpose of this research is to study on characteristics of corona ignitor which was designed for ignition of plasma, used at hard coating, surface treatment and thin film preparation, at high pressure. Corona ignitor composed of hollow type inner electrode and ring type external electrode. Though corona voltage increased with increasing distance between electrodes, corona discharge can be controlled stably. The gas flow in hollow type inner electrode and the construction between electrodes affect a length of corona flame and corona phenomenon. It is possible to ignite the . plasma, usually generated at low pressure(10 Torr), at high pressure(100 Torr) by corona ignitor.

The fire whirl occurring by the instability of atmosphere is a rare phenomenon, but highly destructive because it has high inhalation and lift force, caused by the rotating velocity. And it is difficult to extinguish the fire, because of increment of the spread rate with the flame height. In this study, for investigation of the flow characteristic of fire whirl for various heat release rate, numerical analysis is performed in same conditions with experiments, using the FDS which is developed at NIST. For validating of the numerical study, the results are compared with the experiment. The result shows that the relation between the characteristic length and the ratio of circulation versus the buoyancy force is $z_f$/D$^{\ast}$ = 0.304(${\Omega}/{\alpha}$)^2 - 1.334${\Omega}/{\alpha}$ + 5.516.

This article describes a cellular instability and laminar burning velocity of simulated synthetic natural gas(SNG) including 3% hydrogen. In this study, experimental apparatus is employed using cylindrical bomb combustor, and investigation is carried out with high speed camera and Schlieren system. The cellular instability is caused by the buoyancy, hydrodynamic instability. Unstretched burning velocity can be determined by extrapolated stretch rate of zero point from measured results. These results were also compared with numerical calculation by Chemkin package with GRI 3.0, USC-II, WANG, C3 Fuel mechanism. As an experimental conditions, equivalence ratios was adjusted from 0.8 to 1.3. From results of this work, the one was found that the cellular instability has occurred by effect of thermal expansion rate and flame thickness. As the other results, unstretched laminar burning velocity was best coincided with GRI 3.0 mechanism.

Numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the mechanism of spontaneous ignition of hydrogen within a certain length of downstream pipe released by the failure of pressure boundaries of various geometric assumption. The results show that local ignition is developed in limited area such as boundary layer and the mixing of hydrogen and air is weak at the planar pressure boundary conditions, whereas the flame fronts at the contact region are developed at the pressure boundaries of the spherical shape.

An afterburning device was developed to safely treat unburnt gases of fuel-rich condition discharged by a gas generator. Hot-firing tests for a subscale gas generator were carried out to investigate operation and safety of the afterburning device. When supplying additional liquid oxygen, the length of the afterburning flame was significantly reduced.

There are various types of heat exchanger by its purpose and usage, but the important thing is making smaller size of heat exchanger with increasing of the performance of heat exchanger. However, when a burner exists in front of a heat exchanger like boiler, the thermal efficiency of heat exchanger is not only important, but the characteristics of pollutant emission should be considered. Therefore, in this study, a circular tube type of heat exchanger in front of premixed burne, which has a shorter of flame length than that of non-premixed burner and can control $NO_x$ and CO emission by adjustment of equivalence ratio, was installed. Consequently, characteristics of $NO_x$ and CO emission and thermal efficiency of heat exchanger were studied with changing distances between tubes and equivalence ratio, experimentally.

The definition of burning admittance and conventional n-$\tau$ stability rating technique are combined to investigate the high frequency combustion instabilities inside the cylindrical combustion chamber. Perturbed flow variables are written as the sum of fluctuating and time-averaged mean quantities on the assumption that the terms of the order higher than unity are sufficiently small, hence linearized governing equations could be formulated. Chamber admittances up and downstream of the flame front calculated with appropriate boundary conditions result in the burning admittance and corresponding n-$\tau$ neutral stability curve. Configurational and operational design factors are tested to detect the unstable wave-induced LOX-RP1 combustion instabilities. Operational design factors, e.g. pressure or O/F ratio, appear less influential to drive high frequency instability while the location of the flame front and configurational factors enhance or deteriorate the stabilities strongly. Conclusively, LOX-RP1 combustion inside the cylindrical combustion chamber is apt to be unstable against long residence time and shortened chamber length.

In this study, temperature characteristics and fire damage form were analyzed to investigate flame spreading form and fire probability from ignition sources subject to drivit component materials which is finishing material in architecture. Ignition sources were limited to a gas torch and exterior panel board fire, and the size of the sample was manufacture in 30 cm length ${\times}$ 50 cm height ${\times}$ 5cm thickness size. Marble (inner wall) + 3 mm drivit (outer wall), marble (inner wall) + 4 mm plaster stone (outer wall), sandwich panel + 3 mm driver bit (outer wall), sandwich panel + 3 mm driver bit + insulation (outer wall), and gypsum board (inner wall) + 3 mm drivit (outer wall) were prepared for the sample. As result of the research for temperature characteristics, large temperature difference by each material was shown in $218^{\circ}C{\sim}995^{\circ}C$ at 30 seconds and $501^{\circ}C{\sim}1078^{\circ}C$ at 300 seconds. Especially when the inner wall was a plaster board, lowest temperature of $501^{\circ}C$ was shown at 300 seconds and marble inner wall showed the following lowest temperature of $900^{\circ}C$. Temperature rising over $1000^{\circ}C$ was shown in other materials. Regarding fire damage form, drivit or gypsum board outer wall parts exposed to fire showed combustion and carbonization to show calcination(breaking phenomenon) and influence of heat exposure was higher as calcination became more severe.

It is very important to predict the nonlinear behavior of combustion instability such as transition phenomena and limit cycle amplitude for fully understanding and controlling the instabilities. These nonlinear instability characteristics are highly dependent upon the flames' nonlinear dynamics in a gas turbine premixed combustor. In this study, nonlinear instability TA(Thermo-acoustic) models were introduced by applying the concept of flame describing function to the thermoacoustic analysis method. As a result of model development, for a given combustor length, the growth rate of instability was greatly affected by the change in amplitude, although the instability frequency was not. Further researches under various operating conditions and model validation on limit cycle amplitude are required.

The karyotype analysis of an endangered freshwater fish, Microphysogobio koreensis, was performed to obtain basic data for phylogenetic information. To carry out our study, 4 specimens were collected in Seomjingang River and Nakdongang River and its kidney was treated by flame-drying method. The chromosome number of this species demonstrated 50 diploid chromosomes, with two populations of M. koreensis not significantly different. The karyotype revealed 2n=26m+24sm, consisting of 26 metacentric (m) and 24 submetacentric (sm) chromosomes with the total fundamental arm number determined as FN=100. Total arm length and arm ratio of the chromosomes were $1.44{\sim}2.68{\mu}m$ and 1.27~2.27, respectively. The karyotype of M. koreensis was first reported in this study.
