The concentration gradient effects on triple flame have been studied experimentally using a slot burner in order to stabilize stationary triple flame in coflowing stream. By means of contraction we generate the coflowing stream with uniform velocity and linear concentration gradient at the outlet of the slot. In this paper we investigated the response of the triple flame. to the concentration gradient, like the stability, the liftoff height, and the structure of triple flame. Flow velocity is measured with Laser Doppler Velocimetry. As the concentration gradient increases. the flame propagation velocity in immediately upstream triple point increases until the liftoff height of triple flame becomes minimum, and then decreases.

Flame stabilization characteristics of premixed flames in an annular coaxial 5-tubes burner (AC5TB) were investigated experimentally. The AC5TB was made of five quartz tubes, and the flame stabilization conditions in that burner were investigated with the variation of equivalence ratio and the flow velocities. Flame behaviors inside of narrow annular tubes could be observed directly. Overall flame stabilization conditions were similar to that of the previous study, while the flame behaviors and structures were different mainly due to the controlled uniform distribution of the velocities in channels. Flame flashback conditions were thought to be governed by the competition between heat release rate, heat loss and heat recirculation in each channel. Stationary flames at a fixed location were compared in its velocity distribution and burned gas temperature across the channel. This AC5TB can be a basic configuration for the development of flame stabilization model of porous media combustors, and it will help understand about the real behavior of flames in meso-scale combustion spaces.

Characteristics of laminar lifted flames of propane highly-diluted with nitrogen have been investigated at various temperatures of coflow air. At various fuel mole fractions, the base of laminar lifted flames has the structure of tribrachial (or triple) flame. The liftoff heights are correlated well with the stoichiometric laminar burning velocity considering initial temperature at a given coflow velocity. It shows that lifted flames are stabilized on the basis of the balance mechanism between local flow velocity and the propagation speed of tribrachial flame, regardless of the temperature of coflow and fuel mole fraction. Lifted flames exist for a jet velocity even smaller than the stoichiometric laminar burning velocity, and liftoff velocity increases more rapidly than stoichiometric laminar burning velocity as coflow temperature increases. These can be attributed to the buoyancy effect due to the density difference.

An investigation into the influence of ultrasonic standing wave on the structural behavior of propane/air premixed flame has been made to get a clue to the combustion reaction acceleration and combustion instability. Visualization technique utilizing the Schlieren photography was employed for the observation of structural variation of the flame reaction zone. Evolutionary characteristics of the flame front were caught by the high-speed Schlieren image, through which local flame velocity of the moving front were analyzed in detail.

Characteristics of the flame propagation for normal and abnormal combustion in hydrogen premixture in a cylindrical constant-volume combustion chamber are studied numerically. A detailed hydrogen oxidation kinetic mechanism, mixture transport properties and a model describing spark ignition process are used. The calculated pressure-time history of the stable deflagration wave propagation agrees well with the experiment. The ignition of the premixture in the unburned gas, initiated by the hot spot, causes a transition from deflagration to detonation under some initial temperature and pressure. Under the initial conditions with high temperature and pressure, excessive ignition energy initiates a strong blast wave and a detonation wave that follows. The chemical reaction in the detonation wave is much more vigorous than that in the deflagration wave and the peak pressure in the detonation wave is much higher than the equilibrium value.

The effects of configuration of fuel and air tubes on the flame stabilization were experimentally investigated in half-closed combustors. Flame behaviors and stabilities of methane, propane, and DME flames were compared by changing tube diameters and the locations of the fuel and air tubes. It was found that flammability limits are significantly affected by the outlet boundary condition, which disturbs compositions of burned and unburned mixtures near the flame base. And it was found that there exist critical inner tube heights, over which flame stability is determined only by the fuel flow rate. Conclusively, flame stabilization is governed by the flame propagation velocity in an ordinary mixing flow and the non-uniform mixture concentration in the combustion space which is affected by flow recirculation and the combustor configuration. The compositions of $NO_x$ and CO were compared to know basic characteristics of methane, propane, and DME flames.

동일 분체특성의 분진이 평균입경, 농도, 분진조건(부유 또는 퇴적) 변화에 따른 화재폭발 위험성을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 20L분진폭발시험장치, 열중량분석장치, 연소속도시험장치(UN시험법)를 사용하였다. 4종 분진(Sugar, Mg, Al, Zr)의 입경이 서로 다른 8개 분진 시료에 대하여 부유 분진의 폭발특성과 화염전파속도(FPV), 그리고 퇴적분진의 화염확산속도(FSV)를 조사하였다. 부유 분진 조건에서 Mg 및 Al 분진은 입경이 감소하면 폭발 위험성이 증가하였지만, Sugar는 입경 변화에 따른 폭발 위험성의 영향이 거의 나타나지 않았다. 부유 분진의 화염전파속도(FPV)는 마이크로 범위에서의 입경 변화보다 마이크로에서 나노로 입경이 감소하면 크게 증가하였다. 퇴적층의 화염확산속도(FSV)는 수평면(기울기 0°)보다 경사면(기울기 30°)에서 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 경사면(기울기 30°) 퇴적층 조건에서는 상방 전파가 하방 전파보다 높게 나타났다.

Characteristics of turbulent lifted flames in coflow jet have been investigated by varying initial temperature through the heating of coflow air. In the turbulent regime, liftoff height increases linearly with fuel jet velocity and decreases nonlinearly as the coflow temperature increases. This can be attributed to the increase of turbulent propagation speed, which is strongly related to laminar burning velocity. Dimensionless liftoff heights are correlated well with dimensionless jet velocity, which are scaled with parameters determining local flow velocity and turbulent propagation speed. This implies that the turbulent lifted flames are stabilized by balance mechanism between local turbulent burning velocity and flow velocity. Blowout velocity can be obtained from the ratio of mixing time to chemical time. Comparing to previous researches, thermal diffusivity should be evaluated from the initial temperature instead of adiabatic flame temperature.

The explosion characteristics of nonhomogeneous LPG-Air mixtures was measured in a cylindrical vessel and a pipe. The maximum explosion pressure, the maximum rate of explosion pressure rise, and the flame propagation velocity were measured and compared with that of homogeneous explosion by changing the effective factors on the explosion of nonhomogeneous mixtures such as pressure difference, effusion time and delay time. Explosion was occured even in the lower concentration than the lean flammability limit of mixture. The maximum explosion pressure was increased with increase of LPG concentration, however, the maximum explosion pressure rise was not in the nonhomogeneous explosion. An d the flame propagation velocity was decreased with nonhomogeneity, however, the maximum explosion pressure was always above 0.7kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$.
