Pine trees, which account for 23% of the forested area of the Republic of Korea, are highly vulnerable to fire in comparison to broad-leaved trees due to the presence of consistent water tube sections throughout the year and resin that is composed of approximately 20% oil. In addition, the pattern of forest fires is determined by weather, topographic conditions, and fluctuation in moisture content. Therefore, when fire breaks out in pine tree forests during the dry season (January to March), it is difficult to extinguish, and it quickly spreads. In this study, the combustion characteristics of pine needles, pine cones, and pine branches in the water tube sections of living pine trees were compared and analyzed in accordance with the moisture content as per the ISO 5660-1. The monthly moisture content was analyzed from January to March, and it was found to be the lowest in March, with 53.6% for pine needles, 51.9% for pine branches, and 10.9% for pine cones. In particular, pine cones were more vulnerable to fire as compared to pine needles and pine branches because their moisture content was more than five times lower than that of pine needles and branches. The ignition time, which affects the speed of flame propagation, was the most rapid in March, and the fastest ignition time was for pine cones, at 19 seconds, followed by 34 seconds for pine needles, and 256 seconds for pine branches. The pine branches were the last to be ignited due to the effect of density, according to the thickness and specific gravity of the specimen. The peak heat release rate, which is a measurable index of fire intensity, was analyzed for pine cones and found to be 184.28 kW/m² , while the mean effective heat of combustion was 19.79 MJ/kg, and the total heat release rate was 39.7 MJ/m² , and these values were higher than those of pine branches and pine needles. Thus, we determined that the flame propagation speed and fire intensity according to the moisture content can be used to evaluate the risk of fire to the water tube section of pine trees. It is suggested that because of the combustion characteristics of the pine cone in March, that is when the forest is most vulnerable to fires.

토치 점화 장치의 연소 특성을 파악하기 위하여 6개의 각기 다른 토치 점화 장치를 설계하였다. 토치 점화장치의 체적이 메탄의 연소특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여, 토치점화 장치의 높이(h)와 오리피스 직경(De)는 10mm와 6mm로 고정하고, 입구 직경(D)을 12mm에서 22mm까지 2mm씩 증가시키며 토치 점화 장치를 설계하였다. 초기 화염 생성 및 전파는 질량 연소율과 연소 촉진율로 분석하였다. 질량 연소율과 연소 촉진율을 계산하기 위하여 정적 연소실 내의 평균 압력을 측정하였다. 또한 shadow graph법을 이용하여, 초기 화염 생성과 화염 전파과정 전 영역을 가시화하였다. 토치 점화 장치를 사용한 경우에는 일반적인 스파크 점화와 비교하여 질량 연소율의 기울기가 증가하였고, 연소 촉진율도 개선된것을 확인하였다. 토치 점화 장치의 체적이 증가할수록 연소가 개선되었으며, 넓은 점화 표면을 제공하였다.

Gasoline Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion is a new combustion concept. Unlike the conventional internal combustion engine, the premixed fuel mixture with high residual gas rate is auto-ignited and burned without flame propagation. There are several operating factors which affect HCCI combustion such as start of combustion (SOC), residual gas fraction, engine rpm, etc. Among these factors SOC is a critical factor in the combustion because it affects exhaust gas emissions, engine power, fuel economy and combustion characteristics. Therefore SOC of gasoline HCCI should be controlled precisely, and SOC detection should be preceded SOC control. This paper presents a control oriented SOC detection method using 50 percent normalized difference pressure. Normalized difference pressure is defined as the normalized value of difference pressure and difference pressure is difference between the in-cylinder firing pressure and the motoring pressure. These methods were verified through the HCCI combustion experiments. The SOC detection method using difference pressure provides a fast and precise SOC detection.

고체추진제가 연소될 때, 고체상에서 기체상으로의 상변화가 일어난다. 액체상과 기체상의 혼합으로 인하여 거품이 형성되는데 이를 거품층(Foam Layer) 혹은 용융층(Melting Layer)이라고 한다. 일반적으로 고체추진제가 연소될 때 생성되는 거품층의 두께는 1기압에서 약 1마이크론 정도이다. 거품층의 윗부분, 즉 액체상과 기체상 사이에는 연소면(Buring Surface)이 존재하는데, 본 연구에서는 연소면의 형성과 전파를 모사하였다. 연소면의 전파 속도는 연소율과 같다.

In this paper, two types of porous burners with radial and axial flow have been modeled numerically and compared. For this purpose, governing equations were solved one-dimensionally for methane-air premix gas. The mechanism used in simulating combustion phenomenon was 15 stage reduced mechanism based on GRI3.0. In order to compare the two burners, the inlet flow rate and fuel-air ratio have been assumed equal for the two burners. The results of the study indicated that reduction in speed and increase in cross-section area in the direction of flow have a considerable influence on the behavior of radial burner in comparison to axial burner. Regarding temperature distribution inside the burner, it was observed that the two above mentioned factors can be influential in temperature of flame propagation region. Also, regarding distribution of CO and NO emission, the results indicate that the porous radial burner has lower emissions in comparison to the axial once. The output radiative heat transfer efficiency of the two burners was also compared and in this case also even the radial porous burner was found to be preferable.

본 연구에서는 GT24 가스터빈의 1단 연소기인 EV버너를 대상으로 수소연료 혼소에 대한 화염거동, 연소 진동 및 NOx 배출 특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 수소 혼소율이 증가할수록 NOx 배출 농도가 증가하는 결과를 확인하였다. 이러한 변화는 연료 밀도 변화로 인한 침투깊이 변화, 화염전파속도 증가에 따른 화염위치 변화에 기인한 연료 혼합도 감소와 연소진동으로 인한 시간적 혼합도 섭동 영향이 복합적으로 작용한 결과로 판단되었다. 1.3~3.1bar 범위의 가압 시험을 통해 고압 운전 조건의 NOx 배출 특성을 예측하고 이를 토대로 천연가스용 EV 버너의 수소혼소 한계를 평가하였다.

폼블럭은 셀프 인테리어 용품으로 새롭게 유행하고 있는 건축마감재로 폴리에틸렌을 주성분으로 하여 제조되고 있어 화재에 취약할 것으로 판단된다. 시중에 판매되고 있는 폼블럭 2종(일반, 난연)을 KS F ISO 5660-1(연소성능시험)의 기준에 따라 화재시 발생되는 연소특성을 파악하였다. 또한 적외선분광계(FTIR)를 이용하여 시편의 연소로 발생하는 가스중 대표적 독성가스를 측정한 후 기존의 독성모델에 적용하였다. 콘칼로리미터 시험 결과 2종의 시편 모두 복사열 차단장치를 제거하자마자 인화 및 불꽃연소가 시작되어, 화재시 화염의 급속한 전파 요인이 될 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 적외선분광계를 통한 연소가스 분석 결과, 일반적인 연소가스인 이산화탄소와 일산화탄소뿐만 아니라 인체에 심각한 위해를 주는 아크롤레인, 암모니아 및 시안화수소 등이 다량 검출되었다. 본 연구를 통해 폼블럭 제품은 착화성과 발열량이 높으며 유해가스가 다량 방출될 수 있음을 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 따라서 폼불럭 사용에 따른 재료의 연소특성, 즉 착화성 저감, 최대 열방출률 제한 및 주요 유해가스의 농도를 제한하는 기준마련도 시급히 요구된다.

Recently, the world faces the environmental problem such as air pollution due to harmful gas discharged from car and abnormal climate due to the green-house gases increased by the discharge of $CO_2$. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), one of alternative for this problem, is less harmful, compared to the existing fossil fuel, as gaseous fuel, and less carbon in fuel ingredients and carbon dioxide generation rate relatively favorable more than the existing fuel. However, CNG fuel has the weakness of slow flame propagation speed and difficult fast burn. On the other hand, hydrogen does not include carbon in fuel ingredients, and does not discharge harmful gas such as CO and HC. Moreover, it has strength of quick burning velocity and ignition is possible with small ignition energy source and it's has wide Lean Flammability Limit. If using this hydrogen with CNG fuel, the characteristics of output and discharge gas is improved by the mixer's burning velocity improved, and, at the same time, is possible to have stable lean combustion with the reduction of $CO_2$ expected. Therefore, this research tries to identify the characteristics of engine and emission gas when mixing CNG fuel and hydrogen in each portion and burning them in spark igniting engine, and grasp the lean combustion limit and emission gas characteristics according and use it as the basic data of hydrogen-CNG premixed engine.

Recent research has focused on alternative fuel to improve engine performance and to comply with emission regulation. Finding an alternative fuel and reducing environment pollution are the main goals for future internal combustion engines. The purpose of this study is to obtain low-emission and high-efficiency by hydrogen enriched CNG fuel in SI engine and is to clarify the effects of hydrogen enrichment in CNG fuelled engine on exhaust emission and performance. An experimental study was carried out to obtain fundamental data for performance and emission characteristics of hydrogen enrichment in SI engine. The experiment was conducted at 2500 rpm, bmep 2 bar, 4 bar conditions while CNG fuel was mixed with 10, 20 and 30% hydrogen blends. From the experimental results, combustion duration was shortened due to rapid flame propagation velocity of hydrogen and these were attributed to the burning velocity increasing exponentially with increasing hydrogen blending ratio. Hydrogen has much wider flammable limit than methane, gasoline and the minimum ignition energy is about an order of magnitude lower than for other combustion. By adding hydrogen, $CO_2$ and HC were reduced. However, $NO_X$ was increased dut to high rate of heat release for hydrogen substitutions.
