The purpose of this study is to investigate the combustion characteristics of the flat burner using metal fiber. By changing the excess air ratio which affects strongly to the combustion characteristics, the flame stability range in the metal fiber were found and the range of the blue flame mode and radiant mode were distinguished and $NOx\;and\;O_{2}$ distributions in combustor were measured at two conditions which represents the blue flame mode and radiant mode.

The flame chemiluminescence is a good tracer of flame statement. In this study, the characteristics of flame chemiluminescence($OH^*$, $CH^*$, ${C_2}^*$) according different measuring locations using photomultiplier(PMT), spectrometer and CCD camera. Measurements are made for $OH^*$, $CH^*$, ${C_2}^*$ radicals in gas & light oil diffusion flames. At turbulent nonpremixed combustion mode, the equivalence ratio is varied. The experimental results showed that measuring location affects the result of flame chemiluminescence.

The acoustic optimization of a swirl coaxial jet injector mounted upstream a combustion chamber is investigated to tackle combustion instabilities. The least damped modes are extracted with the help of the dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). The sensitivity of the heat release perturbation to the velocity perturbation for the second longitudinal mode is investigated by combining the Crocco's equation and the inhomogeneous wave equation and computing the flame transfer function (FTF). DMD and FTF results agree in terms of the optimized injector length.

This paper described an experimental investigations of combustion instability mode in a lean premixed dual swirl combustor for micro-gasturbine system. When such the instability occurs, a strong coupling between pressure oscillations and unsteady heat release excites a self-sustained acoustic wave which results in a loud, annoyed sound and may also lead a structural damage to the combustion chamber. The detailed period of flame behavior and heat release in combustion instability mode have been examined with high speed OH and CH-PLIF system and $CH^*$ chemiluminescence measurement, flame tomography with operated at 10 kHz and 6 kHz each. Experiment results suggest that unstable flame behavior has a specific frequency with 200 Hz and this frequency is accords with about 1/2 sub-harmonic of combustor resonance frequency, not fundamental frequency. This is very interesting phenomenon that have not reported yet from other previous works. Therefore, when a thermo-acoustic instability with Rayleigh criterion occurs, the fact that the period of heat release and flame behavior are different each other was proposed for the first time through this work.

Sawtooth mixing device used in a non-premixed burner is evaluated for flame stabilization and NO$_{x}$ reduction. Three mixers with different blade angles are tested. Methane is delivered through the fuel jet and air passes through the co-flow annulus. The flame mode changes (attached flame, lifted flame and extinction) against the fuel flow speed are measured, and the stability diagram is drawn. Moreover, by traversing thermocouple and sampling probe in the flame, the distribution of temperature and NO$_{x}$ mole fraction are measured. With the change in blade angle, flame shape, flame stabilization, the distribution of temperature and NO$_{x}$ mole fraction are changed considerably.rably.

In this paper, we analysed the flame patterns and the electrical characteristics of the electric outlet which was fired at standby mode. The carbonized patterns indicated that the flame had spread about 50 cm to 70 cm. After the combustibles on wall started to burn, the temperature went up to about $300^{\circ}c$ in 150 sec. The flame formed ceiling jet and spread quickly. The tracking was generated at the shortest distance between two electrodes and the resistance was about 100$\Omega$ to 300$\Omega$ As the result of analysis using metallurgical microscope, the normal part of a blade holder showed amorphous structure, but the melted part of a blade holder damaged by tracking showed dendrite structure and void evenly. When the blade holder of damaged outlet was analyzed by SEM and EDX, we found that the structure and components of the normal part were different from those of melted part.

In the present approach, the flame-acoustics interaction is represented by FDF (Flame Describing Function) which is a important source term in the Helmholtz' equation. In this study, the combustion instability is analyzed by the forced mode strategy with the measured FDF. Numerical results indicate that the present approach reasonably well predicts the essential features of the combustion instability characteristics in the lean premixed combustor under the gas-turbine like environment.

A premixed combustion has many advantages including low NOx and CO emission, high thermal efficiency and a small volume of combustor. This study focused on combustion characteristics in a premixed combustion burner using the nickel based metal foam. The results show that the blue flame is found to be very stable at heating load 6,300-25,200 kcal/h by implementing the proper nickel based metal foam and baffle plate. The premixed flame mode is changed into green flame, red flame, blue flame and lift off flame with decreasing equivalence ratio. NOx emission was measured 80 ppm(0% oxygen base) from 0.710 to 0.810 of equivalence ratio and CO emission is 90 ppm(0% oxygen base) under the same equivalence ratio. It is also found that the stable blue flame region in flame stability curve becomes wider with increasing the heat load.

Unsteady numerical study has been conducted on combustion dynamics of a lean-premixed swirl-stabilized gas turbine swirl injector. A three-dimensional computation method utilizing the message passing interface (MPI) parallel architecture, large eddy simulation(LES), and proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) technique was applied. The unsteady turbulent flame dynamics are simulated so that the turbulent flame structure can be characterized in detail. It was observed that some fuel lumps escape from the primary combustion zone, and move downstream and consequently produce hot spots. Those flame dynamics coincides with experimental data. In addition, basis modes of the unsteady turbulent flame are characterized using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) analysis. The flame structure based on odd basis modes is apparently larger than that of even ones. The flame structure can be extracted from the summation of the basis modes and eigenvectors at any moment.
