The characteristics of combustion and flow for a lean premixed flame in lab-scale gas turbine combustor was studied through experiment and numerical analysis. From the experiment, flame structure and heat release rate were obtained from OH emission spectroscopy. Qualitative comparisons were made line-integrated OH chemiluminescence image and abel-transformed one. NOx analyzer was implemented to get the characteristic of NOx exhaust from the combustor. From the numerical analysis, the thermal distribution and characteristic of recirculation zone with the change of fuel-air mixing degree, the characteristic of methane distribution with equivalence ratio in the combustor respectively. Total heat release rate is increased with increasing equivalence ratio. Thermal Nox is reduced with increasing fuel-air mixing degree. Increasing equivalence ratio results in the decrease of the size of reaction zone and alteration of the position of the reaction zone into the entrance of the combustor.

For the development of low NO$_{x}$ gas burners aimed for absorption chiller/heater unit, three proto type burners of different capacity (265000, 498000, and 664000 kcal/h) have been manufactured through a combustion method of step-by-step air injection. In order to characterize the overall features of the flame and the properties of the emission gas, the temperature of the flame and the concentration of NO$_{x}$ and CO were determined. The main factors in the design of burners (the area of primary air injection, the diameter of secondary air injection hole, fuel nozzle diameter) were observed to increase linearly with the scale-up of burner capacity. The flame temperature profiles of the burners were observed to be almost similar, irrespective of their capacity. However, as their capacity increased, the flame temperature slightly increased and the hot region of the flames moved to ward the flame tip along with the expansion to the direction of radius. From the proto type units, the amount of their NO$_{x}$ emission was determined to be around 25 - 30 vppm(3% )$_{2}$) and the CO emission was less than 19 vppm (3% $O_{2}$).TEX>).

From the view of the environmental protection against the use of fossil fuels, a great of efforts have been exerted to find an alternative energy source. Hydrogen may become an alternative However the product species of the hydrogen flame is only $H_2O$, which emits only non-luminous radiation so the radiation from it is much smaller than that for a hydrocarbon flame. In this study, the authors designed and fabricated a laboratory scale test furnace to study thermal characteristics of hydrogen-air diffusion flame. In addition. the effects of addition of reacting as welt as non-reacting solid particles were experimentally investigated. Among the total heat flux to the wall, about 75 % was occupied by radiation while 25% by convection. When the aluminum oxide (Al$_2$O$_3$) particles were added, the radiative heat flux was reduced due to heat blockage effects. On the other hand, the total as well as the radiative heat flux was increased when the carbon particles were seeded, since the overall temperature increased. The effects of swirl and excess air ratio were also examined.

Synthesis of carbon nanofibers on a metal substrate by an ethylene fueled inverse diffusion flame was illustrated. Stainless steel plates were used for the catalytic metal substrate. The effects of radial distance and residence time of the substrate were investigated. The role of hydrocarbon composition in the fuel was also viewed. Nanofibers with a diameter range of 30-70 nm were found on the substrate. The carbon nanofibers were formed and grown in the region from 4 to 5.5 mm from the central axis of a flame outside of the visible flame front in the radial direction. The minimum residence time required for the formation of carbon nanofibers were about 20 seconds, and over 60 seconds were required for the full-scale growth. The characteristic time of the formation of carbon nanofibers was much shorter than that of the substrate temperature growth. In this study, the variation in hydrocarbon composition had no significant effect on the formation and growth of the carbon nanofibers.

화점높이 변화에 따른 풀 화재와 회오리 화염의 연소특성을 알아보기 위하여 인화성 액체인 메탄올을 $100{\times}100{\times}50$ 크기의 스테인레스 재질의 사각형 용기에 넣고 연소실험을 하였다. 연소시간, 질량감소속도, 화염온도, 화염높이 및 외부로부터 화염으로의 공기유입속도 등을 측정하였으며, 연소시 화염의 거동은 비디오카메라를 이용하였다. 모든 실험결과로부터 화점높이 변화에 따른 연소특성은 풀 화재보다는 회오리 화염에 있어서 더 큰 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The effects of carbon dioxide addition to oxygen have been investigated with swirl-stabilized premixed methane flame in a laboratory-scale pre-mixed combustor. The methane fuel and oxydant mixture gas ($CO_2$ and $O_2$) were mixed in a pre-mixer and introduced to the combustor through different degrees of swirl vanes. The flame characteristics were examined for different amount of carbon dioxide addition to the methane fuel and different swirl strengths. The effects of carbon dioxide addition and swirl intensity on the combustion characteristics of pre-mixed methane flames were examined using chemiluminescence techniques to provide information about flow field. The results show that the flame area increases at upstream of reaction zone because of increase in recirculation flow for increase in swirl intensity. The flame area is also increased at the downstream zone by recirculation flow because of increase in swirl intensity which results in higher centrifugal force. The OH and CH radical intensity of reaction zone decrease with carbon dioxide addition because the carbon dioxide plays a role of dilution gas in the reaction zone.

본 논문은 퍼지 칼라모델을 이용한 영상기반의 지능형 무인 화재감시 시스템을 제안한다. 일반적으로 화재 감시를 위해 열이나 연기를 감지하는 별도의 장치를 사용하지만, 널리 보급된 폐쇄회로를 이용하면 별도의 장치와 추가적인 비용 없이 화재를 감시할 수 있다. 이와 같이 영상만으로 화재를 감시하는 시스템은 주로 연기나 불꽃을 추출하는 방법을 사용한다. 그러나 연기검출 방식은 야간에 회색계열의 연기를 검출하기 곤란하고, 불꽃검출 방식은 온도, 인화물질, 화재규모 등에 따른 불꽃색상의 변화에 대응하지 못하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 무인환경 특히 야간 및 다양한 불꽃색상의 변화에 대응할 수 있는 강인한 화재감시 시스템을 다룬다. 이를 위해 폐쇄회로의 입력영상으로부터 움직임 영역을 추출하고, 퍼지 칼라모델을 이용한 색상과 히스토그램을 이용한 모양을 통해 불꽃 여부을 판단하고, 이것의 확산이 확인될 경우, 화재경보를 발령하는 시스템을 구현한다. 마지막으로, 통제된 실제 화재 실험을 통해 제안하는 방법의 유효성을 검증한다.

A theoretical and experimental study on the combustion process in a constant volume micro combustor is described. Unlike in a macro scale constant volume combustor, the heat loss to the wall plays a major role in flame propagation in a micro micro combustor. In order to analyze the effect of heat loss on combustion phenomena, pressure transition from ignition was measured. A number of cylindrical micro combustors with different diameter and depth were used for experiment to study the effect of length scales and shape factor. The diameter of combustor ranged from 7.5mm to 22.5 mm and the height of cylinder was from 1mm to 4mm. Initial pressure was also varied for the experiment. The diagnostic methods were severely limited due to the size of the apparatus and uncertainties of certain quantities to be measured in a small-scale environment. An analytical method to derive physical quantities that are essential for performance prediction from the pressure measurements is described.

The effects of hydrogen enrichment to methane have been investigated with swirl-stabilized premixed hydrogen-enriched methane flame in a laboratory-scale pre-mixed combustor. The hydrogen-enriched methane fuel and air were mixed in a pre-mixer and introduced to the combustor through different degrees of swirl vanes. The flame characteristics were examined for different amount of hydrogen addition to the methane fuel and different swirl strengths. The hydrogen addition effects and swirl intensity on the combustion characteristics of pre-mixed methane flames were examined using micro-thermocouple, particle image velocity meter (PIV) and chemiluminescence techniques to provide information about flow field. The results show that the flame area increases at upstream of reaction zone because of increase in ignition energy from recirculation flow for increase in swirl intensity. The flame area is also increased at the downstream zone by recirculation flow because of increase in swirl intensity which results in higher centrifugal force. The higher combustibility of hydrogen makes reaction faster, raises the temperature of reaction zone and expands the reaction zone, consequently recirculation flow to reaction zone is reduced. The temperature of reaction zone increases with hydrogen addition even though the adiabatic flame temperature of the mixture gas decreases with increase in the amount of hydrogen addition in this experiment condition because the higher combustibility of hydrogen reduces the cooler recirculation flow to the reaction zone.
