Exhaust gas emissions from internal combustion engines are one of the major sources of air pollution. And, it is extremely difficult to increase gasoline engine efficiency and to reduce $NO_X$ and PM(particulate matter) simultaneously in diesel combustion. This paper offers some basic concepts to overcome the above problems. To solve the problems, a recommended technique is CAI(controlled auto-ignition) combustion. In this paper, a flame trap was used to simulate internal EGR(exhaust gas recirculation) effect. An experimental study was carried out to find combustion characteristics using homogeneous premixed gas mixture in the constant volume combustion chamber(CVCC). Flame propagation photos and pressure signals were acquired to verify the flame trap effect. The flame trap creates high speed burned gas jet. It achieves higher flame propagation speed and more stable combustion due to the effect of geometry and burned gas jet.

본 연구는 동일 비율로 휘발유와 혼합된 인화성 액체 200 ml를 축소 모의된 구획 공간에 채우고 착화시켰을 때의 특성을 해석하였다. 구획된 공간의 한 변은 2,000 mm이며, 연소가 진행된 장치의 길이는 1,000 mm이다. 휘발유와 알코올을 혼합한 물질의 화염 전파 속도가 0.7 s로 가장 빠르고, 가장 늦은 물질은 휘발유와 경유를 혼합한 물질로 1.2 s이다. 화염이 최성기에 가장 빨리 도달한 물질은 휘발유와 아세톤을 혼합한 것으로 25.5 s가 소요되었다. 또한 휘발유와 경유를 혼합한 물질은 163.7 s로 가장 늦었다. 연소의 지속 시간은 휘발유와 경유를 혼합한 물질이 332.7 s로 가장 길었으며, 가장 짧은 것은 휘발유와 시너를 혼합한 물질로 121.5 s이다. 따라서 화재 현장을 조사하는 화재조사관은 최초 목격자의 진술은 물론 화염의 특성을 종합적으로 분석할 필요가 있다.

Predicting lower flammability limits (LFL) of hydrogen has become an ever-important task for safety of nuclear industry. While numerous experimental studies have been conducted, LFL results applicable for the harsh environment are still lack of information. Our aim is to develop a calculated non-adiabatic flame temperature (CNAFT) model to better predict LFL of hydrogen mixtures in nuclear power plant. The developed model is unique for incorporating radiative heat loss during flame propagation using the CNAFT coefficient derived through previous studies of flame propagation. Our new model is more consistent with the experimental results for various mixtures compared to the previous model, which relied on calculated adiabatic flame temperature (CAFT) to predict the LFL without any consideration of heat loss. Limitation of the previous model could be explained clearly based on the CNAFT coefficient magnitude. The prediction accuracy for hydrogen mixtures at elevated initial temperatures and high helium content was improved substantially. The model reliability was confirmed for $H_2-air$ mixtures up to $300^{\circ}C$ and $H_2-air-He$ mixtures up to 50 vol % helium concentration. Therefore, the CNAFT model developed based on radiation heat loss is expected as the practical method for predicting LFL in hydrogen risk analysis.

In the present study, investigations were carried out to obtain data on combustion characteristics of methane gas and hydrogen supplemented methane gas in a constant volume combustion chamber. The main results obtained from the study can be summarized as follows. The maximum combustion pressure increases as the initial pressure and hydrogen supplement rate increase, the total burning time is shorten by lowering the initial pressure and by increasing the hydrogen supplement rate. The maximum flame temperature and NO concentration increase by the initial pressure and hydrogen supplement rate increase. The flame propagation processes in near stoichiometric mixture are propagated with a spherical shape, but in excess rich or lean mixtures are propagated with a elliptical shape. And, they are changed an unstable elliptical shape flame with very regular cells by increasing the hydrogen supplement rate.

To clarify the effects of equivalence ratio, initial pressure and temperature on the flame propagation and radicals characteristics, a series of the experimental study were conducted in a quiescent methane-air premixture using a constant volume chamber. The development of the flame was visualized following the start of ignition using high speed schlieren photo and radical images by intensified CCD camera. Combustion pressure and ion current were recorded simultaneously according to the experimental conditions which were equivalence ratio with 0.7 to 1.2, initial pressure with 0.08 MPa to 0.40 MPa and initial premixture temperature with 3l3.2K to 403.2K. The results showed that the flame speed by ion current and mass fraction burned by combustion pressure characterized the effects of flame propagation very well. And increased combustion duration due to lean combustion condition that was below equivalence ratio, 0.8 caused cycle variation and decreasing the power of engine.

정상초음파가 개재하는 탄화수소계 연료공기 예혼합화염의 동역학적 특성 비교에 대한 실험적 연구결과를 제시한다. 전파화염의 이미지는 고속카메라를 이용하여 획득하였으며, 이미지 후처리를 통해 메탄/공기와 프로판/공기 예혼합화염의 화염거동을 상세히 관찰하였다. 이론당량비 이하의 연료희박조건에서 정상초음파 개재에 의한 연소반응 촉진으로 인해 화염전파속도는 증가되었다. 한편, 당량비가 1.2인 메탄/공기 화염과 당량비 1.4 이상의 프로판/공기 화염의 전파속도에 대한 초음파의 영향은 연료희박조건과 반대되는 결과를 보였다.

The present work is a continuation of our previous study to investigate the effects of parameters such as equivalence ratio, hydrogen supplement rate and initial pressure on combustion characteristics in a disk-shaped constant volume combustion chamber. The main results obtained from the study can be summarized as follows. The flames in near stoichiometric mixture of methane-air are propagated with a spherical shape, but in excess rich or lean mixtures are propagated with a elliptical shape. And, they are changed to an unstable elliptical shape flame with very regular cells by increasing the hydrogen supplement rate. Also, flame is sluggishly propagated at increased initial pressure in combustion chamber. Volume fraction of burned gas and flame radius as the combustion characteristics are increased by increasing the hydrogen supplement rate, especially at the combustion middle period, but then are slowly increased by increasing the initial pressure.

Optically accessible D. I. diesel engine with a rectangular combustion chamber was constructed to visualize the behaviors of sprays and flames in the combustion camber with the close conditions of pressure and temperature in an actual engine. The behaviors of sprays and flames in the combustion chamber as the operating conditions of this engine were photographed with high speed camera by Diffused Background Illumination Method. With photographs taken by this method, behavior of spray droplets injected into the combustion chamber, ignition points, and flame propagation were observed and analyzed at a time-and space-dependent fashion.

본 연구에서는 분진폭발에 있어서 기초적 현상을 규명하고 분진의 화염구조와 메커니즘에 대하여 실험적으로 조사하였다. 실험장치는 길이 1.8 m, 단면이 0.15 m의 정방형인 수직연소관을 사용하였으며, 덕트 내를 전파하는 상방 분진층류화염과 화염면에 대하여 고속카메라를 사용하여 가시화하였다. 또한 슐리렌, 이온프로브, 열전대 등을 사용하여 예열대 및 반응대의 두께를 측정하였다. 석송자 분진화염의 예열대 두께는 4~13 mm로 탄화수소가스의 예혼합기 화염보다도 수배 크다. 입자화상유속법(PIV)에 의한 해석 결과, 예열대에서의 미연소 입자의 체류 시간은 입자의 열분해가스 생성에 필요하며, 체류시간은 화염전파속도, 입자속도 및 예열대 두께에 의존하는 것을 알았다.
