Extinction characteristics of hydrogen-air diffusion flames at various pressures are investigated numerically by adopting counterflow flame configuration as a model flamelet. Especially, effect of radiative heat loss on flame extinction is emphasized. Only gas-phase radiation is considered here and it is assumed that $H_2O$ is the only radiating species. Radiation term depends on flame thickness, temperature, $H_2O$ concentration, and pressure. From the calculated flame structures at various pressures, flame thickness decreases with pressure, but its gradient decreases at high pressure. Flame temperature and mole fraction of $H_2O$ increase slightly with pressure. Accordingly, as pressure increases, radiative heat loss becomes dominant. When radiative heat loss is considered, radiation-induced extinction is observed at low strain rate in addition to transport-induced extinction. As pressure increases, flammable region, where flame is sustained, shifts to the high-temperature region and then, shrunk to the point on the coordinate plane of flame temperature and strain rate. The present numerical results show that radiative heat loss can reduce the operating range of a combustor significantly.

Numerical study is conducted to predict effects of radiative heat loss and fuel composition in synthetic gas diffusion flame diluted with $CO_2$. The existing reaction models in synthetic gas flames diluted with $CO_2$ are evaluated. Numerical simulations with and without gas radiation, based on an optical thin model, are also performed to concrete impacts on effects of radiative heat loss in flame characteristics. Importantly contributing reaction steps to heat release rate are compared for synthetic gas flames with and without $CO_2$ dilution. It is also addressed that the composition of synthetic gas mixtures and their radiative heat losses through the addition of $CO_2$ modify the reaction pathways of oxidation diluted with $CO_2$.

This study was performed to evaluate the burning characteristics of wood-based materials and the effect of surface treatment of fire retardant using cone calorimeter. Four types of wood-based materials, such as Plywood, Oriented Strand Board (OSB), Particle Board (PB) and Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), were tested at a constant heat flux of $50kW/m^2$ to investigate the time to ignition, mass loss rate, heat release rate, effective heat of combustion, etc. In addition, each type of wood-based material was tested at the same heat flux after fire retardant treatment on the surface to evaluate the effect of this treatment on the burning characteristics. The surface treatment of fire retardant, by the amount of $110g/m^2$, delayed the time to ignition almost twice. However, it was indicated that heat release rate, mass loss rate, and effective heat of combustion were not significantly affected by fire retardants treatment for all types of wood-based materials.

Both 1-D and 2-D analytic methods are used for a rectangular fin optimization. Optimum heat loss is taken as 98% of the maximum heat loss. Temperature profile using 2-D analytic method and relative error of temperature along the fin length between 1-D and 2-D analytic methods are presented. Increasing rate of the optimum heat loss with the variation of Biot number and decreasing rate of that with the variation of the fin base length are listed. Optimum fin tip length using 2-D analytic method and relative error of that between 1-D and 2-D analytic methods are presented as a function of Biot numbers ratio.

Laminar lifted propane coflow-jet flames diluted with nitrogen were experimentally investigated to determine heat-loss-related self-excitation regimes in the flame stability map and elucidate the individual flame characteristics. There exists a critical lift-off height over which flame-stabilizing effect becomes minor, thereby causing a normal heat-loss-induced self-excitation with O(0.01 Hz). Air-coflowing can suppress the normal heat-loss-induced self-excitation through increase of a Peclet number; meanwhile it can enhance the normal heat-lossinduced self-excitation through reducing fuel concentration gradient and thereby decreasing the reaction rate of trailing diffusion flame. Below the critical lift-off height. the effect of flame stabilization is superior, leading to a coflow-modulated heat-loss-induced self-excitation with O(0.001 Hz). Over the critical lift-off height, the effect of reducing fuel concentration gradient is pronounced, so that the normal heat-loss-induced self-excitation is restored. A newly found prompt self-excitation, observed prior to a heat-loss-induced flame blowout, is discussed. Heat-loss-related self-excitations, obtained laminar lifted propane coflow-jet flames diluted with nitrogen, were characterized by the functional dependency of Strouhal number on related parameters. The critical lift-off height was also reasonably characterized by Peclet number and fuel mole fraction.

A modified asymmetric rectangular fin is analysed using the two-dimensional separation of variables method. This modified rectangular fin is made by attaching the wing on the top side of a rectangular fin. Heat loss from each side of this modified rectangular fin is calculated. The relative increasing ratio of heat loss between a modified rectangular fin and a rectangular fin is presented as a function of dimensionless fin volume, wing height and the location of the wing. Especially, to show the remarkable effect of the wing on the heat loss, the relative increasing ratios of heat loss between two different volume increasing methods are listed.

A cylindrical constant volume combustion bomb is used to investigate the combustion characteristics and to analyze the heat quantity of homogeneous charge methane-air mixture under various initial pressures, excess air ratios and ignition times. As the overall pressure increase, the values of maximum combustion pressure, maximum heat release rate and cumulative heat release have been increased. But it is not very meaningful to compare with some values such as maximum combustion pressure, maximum heat release rate and cumulative heat release for different overall pressure due to the different heat energy of supplied fuel. So the each value is needed to be compared with normalized value, which is divided by the entered fuel energy. To analyze the heat quantity, some definitions including the CHR ratio, the UHC ratio and the HL ratio are needed and are calculated. As the overall pressure increase, the CHR ratios and the UHC ratios have been decreased, while the HL ratios have been increased. The CHR ratio of 300 ms has the higher value than that of 10000ms, and the HL ratios of 300 ms have a lower value.

[ $CH_4-He/Air$ ] 대향류 확산화염의 저 화염 신장율에서 진동 불안정성에 관하여 실험적으로 연구하였다. 저 화염 신장율에서 진동 불안정은 Le가 1보다 클 때 소화한계 부근에서 발행하고 측면방향 열손실이 중요한 역할을 한다. 화염이 진동할 때 화염의 형태는 전진하거나 후퇴하는 edge flame이고 진동의 동적거동은 성장, 조화 그리고 감쇠 진동 모드 세 가지로 나타났다. 전체 화염 신장율이 감소하면 진동의 진폭은 커지게 되는데 이는 화염의 크기가 감소하게 되어 측면 열손실이 증가하였기 때문이다. 저 화염 신장율에서 edge flame의 진동 불안정성은 Le 뿐만 아니라 복사와 측면 열손실도 밀접한 관계가 있다.

본 연구에서는 FLAC3D를 이용해 대용량 고온 열에너지저장소가 암반공동과 지상에 위치하는 경우를 각각 모델링하고 운영기간 5년 동안의 비정상상태해석을 수행하여 저장소 외벽을 통한 열손실을 비교 분석하였다. 두 저장모델의 운영 조건 및 입력물성은 모두 동일하나, 암반공동 열에너지저장소는 주변 암반의 전도 열전달에 의해서만 열손실이 발생하고, 지상 저장소는 대기의 대류 열전달에 의해서 열손실이 발생하는 것으로 가정하였다. 열에너지의 반복적인 주입과 토출에 따른 저장온도의 변화를 고려하여 수치해석모델을 작성하였으며, 단열재 두께에 따른 열손실 특성을 함께 검토하였다. 해석 결과, 지상식 저장시설은 운영 기간이 경과하더라도 일정한 열손실률을 보이는 반면 암반공동 저장시설의 열손실률은 운영 초기 단계에서 급격히 감소하여 일정한 값으로 수렴하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 열손실의 감소는 시간 경과에 따라 주변 암반의 온도가 상승함으로써 저장소외벽에서의 열유속이 감소하기 때문으로 판단할 수 있다. 운영 후 5년 경과 시 암반공동 열에너지저장소의 누적열손실량은 지상저장소에 비해 약 72.7%로 나타났으며, 암반공동 저장시설의 열손실 특성은 주변 암반의 히팅 효과로 인해 지상식 저장시설에 비해 단열재 두께에 대한 민감도 및 의존도가 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 분석되었다.
