Ignition of hydrogen and oxygen in the "third limit" is theoretically investigated in the stagnation point flow with activation energy asymptotics. With the steady-state approximations of H, OH, O and HO$_2$, a two-step reduced kinetic mechanism is derived for the regime lower than the crossover temperature T$_{c}$ at which the rates of production and consumption of all radicals are equal. Appropriate scaling of Damkohler number successfully provides the explicit relationship between pressure, temperature and strain rate at ignition. It is shown that, compared with those for the counterflow, ignition temperatures for the stagnation point flow are considerably increased with increasing the system pressure. This is because ignition in the "third limit" is characterized by the production of reduction of $H_2O$$_2$, which is reduced by wall effect. Strain rate substantially affects ignition temperature because key reaction rates of $H_2O$$_2$ are comparably with its transport rate, while the mixture temperature and the hydrogen composition do not significantly affect ignition temperature.e.

Ignition characteristics of a vertical solid fuel plate with block have been investigated experimentally. For low radiant heat flux, ignition does not occur in a vertical solid fuel plate without block. In the case with the block on a vertical fuel plate, however, ignition can occur by increasing the residence time and the time to absorb the incident radiation flux by fuel vapor in gas phase. The ignition occurs below block and the point varies according to the block location and the block height. As the block height increases, the block locates at higher position, and the hot wall temperature increases, the ignition delay time decreases. Also as the initial temperature of fuel plate rises, the ignition delay time of the solid fuel plate decreases. The temperature distribution of solid fuel plate with block is nearly proportional to the radiant heat flux distribution. Therefore, the effect temperature by natural convection heat transfer is of the same order as that of inhibition of temperature increase by pyrolysis.

본 연구에서는 수소 네트워크 설비의 안전성 확보를 위한 기초연구로 파이프라인 내부에서의 수소/공기혼합기의 착화온도를 조사하였다. 착화원으로는 순간적으로 고온이 된 후 일정한 온도를 유지하는 열선을 사용하였다. 수소농도와 열선의 온도를 변화시키며 실험한 결과, 수소농도의 감소에 따라 최저착화온도도 감소하는 경향이 확인되었다. 착화를 위한 열선의 최저온도는 수소 농도 10 vol.%에서 가장 낮음이 확인되었다. 이러한 경향은 열선주변의 부력에 의한 영향이라 생각된다. 또한, 혼합기의 습도는 착화온도, 화염온도에 큰 영향을 미치는 않는 것이 확인되었다.

Pulverized coal is widely used as the source of electrical power generation and industrial processes. Numerical analysis on the transient ignition process of the cloud of pulverized coal particles in various cases is carried out. Particle radius, initial particle temperature, number density are chosen as major parameters that influence the characteristics of ignition and combustion. The result can be summarized as follow. The ignition occurs at the position that is closed to the surface of the cloud. Maximum temperature and velocity appear at ignition point, and the concentrations of gaseous fuel and oxidizer decrease rapidly near the ignition point. The chemical reaction takes place in wider zone as number density and particle radius decrease. The ignition delay is shortest when particle radius is about $50\;{\mu}m$, and tends to be shorter as number density and initial ambient temperature increase.

In this study, the experimental and numerical investigations of the ignition of methane-air mixtures by a electrically heated wire have been carried out. In order to define the initial condition and make the analysis simple, the following control unit was developed; which heats the wire to the setting temperature in a very short time, and maintains the wire temperature constant until ignition. Experiments with the feedback control have been performed using nickel and platinum wires in normal gravity and microgravity. From experimental results, ignition temperatures in normal gravity are higher than those in microgravity, however, the dependences of ignition temperature on equivalence ratio are not affected by natural convection. Numerical calculations, including catalytic reaction for platinum, have been performed to analyze the experimental results in microgravity. Numerical results show that reactants near platinum wire are consumed by catalytic reaction, therefore, the higher temperature is needed to ignite the mixture with platinum wire.

The ignition characteristics in a confined axisymmetric coflow $CH_4$ jet were investigated numerically with the Fire Dynamics Simulator(FDS). The $CH_4$ fuel stream was diluted with main combustion product gases, such as $O_2$, $N_2$, CO, $CO_2$, and $H_2O$, and the mixed fuel stream was heated up to the sufficient temperature where a supplying fuel stream can be ignited. For the calculation of chemical reaction in the simulation, a 2-step global finite chemistry model was considered. Boundary condition for confined wall was optimized by investigating the effects of wall temperature on the ignition characteristics of fuel stream. In addition, the effects of composition of diluents in the fuel stream and fuel stream temperature on the ignition of fuel steam were investigated. The ignition characteristics of $CH_4$ stream with diluents were very sensitive to the wall temperature, composition of diluents in the fuel stream and fuel stream temperature.

The characteristics of auto-ignition and combustion process of a single droplet of emulsified fuel suspended in a high-temperature air chamber have been investigated experimentally with various droplet sizes, surrounding temperatures, and water contents. The used fuels was n-Decane and it was emulsified with varied water contents whose maximum is 30%. The high-speed camera has been adopted to measure the ignition delay and flame life time. It was also applied to observe micro-explosion behaviors. The increase of droplet size and chamber temperature cause the decrease of the ignition delay time and flame life-time. As the water contents increases, the ignition delay time increases and the micro-explosion behaviors are strengthened. The starting timings of micro-explosion and fuel puffing are compared for different droplet sizes and the amount of water contents.

A gasoline engine automobile uses high voltage generation of the ignition coil, igniting and burning mixed fuel in the combustion chamber, which drives the engine. When the electronic control unit intermits a current supplied to the power transistor, counter electromotive force with a low voltage is generated by self induction action in the ignition primary coil and a high voltage is induced by mutual induction action with the primary ignition coil in the second ignition coil. The high voltage is supplied to the ignition plug in the combustion chamber, causing a spark, igniting the compressed mixed fuel. If a very small defect occurs inside the insulating material when a voltage is applied in said ignition coil, the performance of the insulation material will get worse and breakdown by a partial discharge of corona discharge. Thus, in this experiment, we are to contribute to improve the performance and ensure the reliability of the ignition coil by investigating partial discharge characteristics according to the change of voltage and temperature when a voltage is applied to the specimen of the epoxy molding ignition coil.

참깻묵은 4류 위험물 중 동식물류로서 기름을 추출하고 생성된 찌꺼기를 보관하는 중에 열이 축적되어 자연발화의 원인에 의해 화재가 발생되고 있다. 참깻묵의 자연발화에 대한 원인을 규명하기 위하여 시료용기의 두께(3 cm, 5 cm, 7 cm 및 14 cm)를 변화시켜 저장량에 따른 자연발화온도를 구한 결과 3 cm의 경우 180 ℃, 5 cm의 경우160 ℃, 7 cm의 경우 145 ℃, 14 cm의 경우 130 ℃를 구하였다. 시료용기의 두께가 두꺼워질수록 발화한계온도는 낮아졌으며, 발화지연시간 및 최고온도에 도달하는 시간이 길어졌다. 또한 발화와 비발화의 평균온도인 발화한계온도에 의한 겉보기 활성화 에너지는 97.10 [kJ/mol]로서 참깻묵의 발화특성을 파악하였다.
