Combustion using oxygen enriched air is an energy saving technology that can increase thermal efficiency by improving the burning rate and by increasing the flame temperature. Flame figures, OH radical intensities, temperature distributions and emissions concentration were examined according to oxygen enriched concentration(OEC) in a turbulent diffusion flat flame. As long as the oxygen enriched concentration was increased, the length and volume of the flat flame was decreased while OH radical intensity was raised and the flame temperature was increased. However, RMS of the fluctuating temperature was decreased, and more homogeneous temperature field was formed. Thermal NO also was increased with increase of oxygen enriched concentration, but CO was decreased due to the increase of chemical reaction rate.

Combustion using oxygen enriched air is an energy saving technology that can increase thermal efficiency by the improvement of burning rate and by the high temperature flame. Flame figures, OH radical intensities, temperature distributions and emission concentrations were measured according to oxygen enriched concentration and swirl number in a turbulent diffusion flat flame. It appeared that flame figure became flat and NO concentration decreased with increase of swirl number, and that the flame temperature increased high with increase of oxygen enriched concentration. In particular, it was most significant between oxygen concentration $40{\sim}60%$.

An experiment in a turbulent non-premixed flat flame was carried out in order to investigate the effect of swirl number on the flow and combustion characteristics. First. stream lines and velocity distribution in the flow field were obtained using PIV method. In contrast with the axial flow without swirl, highly swirled air induced stream lines along the burner tile. and backward flow was caused by recirculation in the center zone of the flow field. In the combustion. the flame with swirled air also became flat and stable along the burner tile with increment of the swirl number. Flame structure by measuring OH and CH radicals intensity and by calculating Damkohler number(Da) and turbulence Reynolds number(Re$_{T}$) was examined. It appeared to be comprised in the wrinkled laminar-flame regime. Backward flow by recirculation of the burned gas decreased the flame temperature and emissions concentrations as NO and CO. Consequently, the stable flat flame with low NO concentration was achieved.d.

Recently, Flat flame burners are hilighted in high-load burners. Our study contains flow field analysis of a flat flame burner. In this paper, We analyzed the direction and magnitude of the velocity in a round tile type burner with swirl angles, $10^{\circ},\;30^{\circ},\;50^{\circ}$. In the case of swirl angle $10^{\circ}$, because axial momentum is larger than radial momentum, Recirculation region was weakly developed. In the case of swirl angle $50^{\circ}$, Flow in front of the tile is distributed for radial direction. And Recirculation region is large. So, We expect that the radiation can be transmitted from tiles and the recirculation region may cause $NO_x$ reduction.

Porous metal plates (Metal fiber, muti-hole metal plate) using mainly in surface burner are known to have a corrosion and durability problem under high temperature condition. In this study, premixed flat flame with perforated ceramic tile of more durable cordierite material was examined with respect to combustion stability and emission. The flat premixed ceramic burner consists of perforated ceramic tile and various type of baffle plates to form stable surface flame. The results show that most stable flat flame is generated using baffle plate with open ratio of 0.193. In downward flat flame mode which is widely used in condensing boiler, CO is measured below 50ppm from equivalence ratio 0.755 to 0.765 and $NO_X$ is measured below 12ppm from equivalence ratio 0.75 to 0.79. It is also found that the range of blue flame in flame stability curve becomes wider with increasing heat capacity.

The flat flame made by swirling air has lots of the different characteristics according to the swirl numbers in the burner throat. Its combustion characteristics are also affected by them. In this study, the flow patterns in the flat flame burner which is no firing condition were investigated experimentally with using smoke in terms of each swirl number. Also the blow off, flame structure, temperature distribution and NO emission in the firing condition were measured at the atmosphere and combustion furnace.

Experiments with premixed flames in a tube have been conducted to investigate the transition phenomenon from a laminar flat flame to turbulent motions. To induce this phenomenon, a flat flame is formed in a tube. Then, the local velocity at the center of the flat flame surface is increased using $CO_2$ laser irradiation. The deformed flame front propagates with an increase in the total flame surface and oscillating instability. Eventually, the flame front accelerates explosively, and it shows turbulent flame motions with a strong noise. The dynamic behaviors of the flame front prior to the turbulent motions are analyzed in this study to elucidate this process. The physical model of the process is presented according to observations.

Burner of Flat Flame type expects the uniform flame distribution and NOx reduction. The characteristics of Flat Flame Burner become different according to swirl number in the burner throat. Experiments were focused on swirl effect by four types of swirler with different swirl numbers (0, 0.26, 0.6 and 1.24). It shows many different flow patterns according to swirl number using PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) method. The flow of burner with swirler is recirculated by pressure difference between its center and outside. Recirculated air makes stable in flame, and reduced pollutant gas. In case of swirl number 0, main flow passes through axial direction. As swirl number increased, The backward flow develops in the center part of burner and Flow gas recirculates. This is caused by radial flow momentum becomes larger than axial flow by swirled air and the pressure at center drops against surrounding. As swirl number increases, the radial and axial velocity was confirmed to be larger than low swirl numbers. And turbulence intensity have similar pattern. The CTRZ(Central Toroidal Recirculation Zone) is shown evidently when y/D=1 and S=1.24. The boundary-layer between main flow and recirculated flow is shown that the width is seen to be decreased as swirl number increased.

In this study, We studied flow and combustion characteristics of a Flat Flame Burner(FFB) with swirler. As swirl number increase, the streamlines is proceed close to tile and velocity is large. Blow-off limit decrease when swirl number is 1.24, but blow-off limit increase when combustion load is 6500kcal/hr. Temperature distribution is uniform in front of tile and NO formation is small at S=1.24. We expect that the radiation can be transmitted to the object and NOx will reduce because of recirculation zone

Two dimensional aerosol dynamics considering the effects of particle generation, coagulation, thermophoresis, sintering and convection has been studied to obtain the growth of non-spherical silica particles in conjunction with determining flame temperature by performing combustion analysis of premixed flat flame. Heat and mass transfer analysis includes 16 species, 29 chemical reaction steps together with oxidation and hydrolysis of SiCl4. The effect of radiation heat loss has also been included. The predictions of flame temperatures and the evolution of particle size distributions were in a reasonable agreement with the existing experimental data.
