Hydrogen is considered a cleaner energy source than fossil fuels. As a result, the use of hydrogen in daily life and economic industries is expected to increase. However, the use of hydrogen energy is currently limited because of safety issues. The rate of combustion of the hydrogen mixture is about seven times higher than that of hydrocarbon fuels. The hydrogen mixture is highly flammable and has a low minimum ignition energy. Therefore, it presents considerable risks for fire and explosions in all areas of hydrogen manufacturing, transportation, storage, and use. In this study, the auto-ignition characteristics of hydrogen were investigated numerically for diluted hydrogen mixtures. Auto-ignition temperature, a critical property predicting the fire and explosion risk in hydrogen combustion, was determined in well-stirred reactors. When N₂ and CO₂ were used to dilute the hydrogen/air mixture, the ignition delay time increased with increasing dilution ratios in both cases. The CO₂-diluted mixtures exhibited a longer ignition delay than the N₂-diluted mixtures. We also confirmed that lower initial ignition temperatures increased the ignition delay times at 950 K and above. Overall, the auto-ignition characteristics, such as the concentrations of participating species and ignition delay times, were primarily affected by the initial temperature of the mixture.

The ignition quality of ignition system is influenced by spark energy, discharge pattern of spark energy and spark duration. In this paper, the characteristics of multiple spark ignition system have been investigated for various number of spark and spark interval. The results, which were compared with those obtained with a standard single spark ignition, show that engine output is increased, and lean misfire limit is extended with the multiple spark ignition system. The most effective number of spark at the most effective spark interval that are determined by engine performance test, were 6 times spark at 0.02ms spark interval. For the above condition of spark, engine torque was increased about 20% comparing with conventional ignition system and lean misfire limit was extended to air-fuel ratio 22.5:1. This study researched the rate of heat release and quantity of heat release influenced by a condition of spark on the mass burned in order to investigate the relationship between the rate of mass burned and number of spark times.

The main purpose of igniter is sure ignition of main propellant at desired ignition delay times. Since ignition mechanism of solid rocket propellant involves so many complicated physical and chemical phenomena, it is almost impossible to predict ignition behavior with pure analytical means. In this study, one dimensional and unsteady ignition transient phenomena in solid rocket was analyzed by finite volume method. In analysis, assumption was made that ignition occurs when propellant surface temperature reaches to it's auto-ignition temperature.

가연성물질의 화재 및 폭발 특성치는 안전한 취급, 저장, 수송, 처리 및 폐기하는데 반드시 필요하다. 공정 안전을 위한 대표적인 연소특성치로 최소자연발화온도(AIT)를 들 수 있다. 최소자연발화온도는 가연성 액체의 안전한 취급을 위해서 중요한 지표가 된다. 최소자연발화온도는 가연성물질이 주위의 열에 의해 스스로 발화하는 최저온도이다. 본 연구에서는 ASTM E659 장치를 이용하여 가연성 혼합물인 n-Pentanol과 p-Xylene 혼합물의 최소자연발화온도와 발화지연시간을 측정하였다. 2성분계를 구성하는 순수물질인 n-Pentanol과 p-Xylene의 최소자연발화온도는 각각 $285^{\circ}C$, $557^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. 그리고 측정된 n-Pentanol과 p-Xylene 혼합물의 최소자연발화온도와 AIT에서의 발화지연시간의 실험값은 제시된 식에 의한 계산값과 적은 평균절대오차에서 일치하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시한 예측식들을 이용하여 n-Pentanol과 p-Xylene 혼합물의 다른 조성에서도 최소자연발화온도와 발화지연시간을 예측이 가능하다.

The ignition and the burning characteristics of aluminum and magnesium particles ($30-110{\mu}m$ in diameter) isolated due to electrodynamic levitation were experimentally investigated. The burning time, the ignition delay time, the flame temperature, and the flame diameter were measured. The thermal radiation intensity was measured using the photomultiplier tube and the combustion history was monitored by high-speed cinematography. Two-wavelength pyrometry measured the temperature of the burning particles. The burning times of aluminum particles were measured approximately 5 to 8 times longer than those of magnesium particles. Exponents of $D^n$-law, for the burning rate of magnesium and aluminum particles of diameters less than $110{\mu}m$, are found to be 0.6 and 1.5, respectively. The instant of aluminum ignition is clearly distinguished with the ignition delay time little less than 10 ms, however the burning history of magnesium particle exhibits no distinct instant of the ignition. The ignition delay time of magnesium particle (less than $110{\mu}m$) were approximately shown in the range from 50 to 200 ns. The flame temperatures of single metal particles are lower than the boiling point of the oxide. The nondimensional flame diameters for magnesium are decreased with increasing of the diameter. The nondimensional flame diameters for aluminum are not changed significantly.

Ignition of $NH_3-O_2-Ar$ mixtures have been studied behind reflected shock waves over the temperature range of 1600-2300 K and the pressures in the range of 1.1-1.6 atm. The pressure profile and the radiation emitted behind the shock waves have been monitored to give empirical correlations between ignition delay times and the mixture concentrations with the experimental conditions. On the basis of this data, several kinetic mechanisms proposed for ammonia oxidation at high temperatures have been tested. The ignition delay times obtained from the mechanism proposed by Miller and Smook were in good agreement with our experimental results.

The addition effect of $CH^3Br$ on the ignition of methane was investigated in the temperature range of 1537-1920 K behind reflected shock waves. The ignition delay times were measured by the sudden increase of pres-sure and OH emission in the $CH_4-O_2-Ar$ system containing small amount of $CH_3Br.$ The delay times of mix-tures with $CH_3Br$ were shorter than those without $CH_3Br.$ The promotion of ignition by $CH_3Br$ was caused by the relative fast decomposition rate in additive. To clarify the addition effect of $CH_3Br$ from the viewpoint of the reaction mechanism, computational analyses were performed in $CH_4-CH_3Br-O_2-Ar$ mixtures.

The ignition delay time is an important factor to understand the combustion characteristics of internal combustion engine. In this study, ignition delay times of cool and thermal flame were observed separately in homogeneous charge compression ignition(HCCI) engine. This study presents numerical investigation of ignition delay time of n-heptane and alcohol(ethanol and n-butanol) binary fuel. The $O_2$ concentration in the mixture was set 9-10% to simulate high exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) rate condition. The numerical study on the ignition delay time was performed using CHEMKIN codes with various blending ratios and EGR rates. The results revealed that the ignition delay time increased with increasing the alcohol fraction in the mixture due to a decrease of oxidation of n-heptane at the low temperature. From the numerical analysis, ethanol needed more radical and higher temperature than n-butanol for oxidation. In addition, thermal ignition delay time is sharply increasing with decreasing $O_2$ fraction, but cool flame ignition delay time changes negligibly for both binary fuels. Also, in high temperature regime, the ignition delay time showed similar tendency with both blends regardless of blending ratio and EGR rate.

As one of the primary fuel sources, oxy-fuel combustion of coal is actively being investigated because of the climate changing problem such like the emission of green house gases. In this paper research about the pulverized coal technology, which is widely used in both power-generating and iron-making processes was studied to invesgate the ignition behaviour of pulverized coal particles during coal combustion as changing the ambient oxygen concentration of the particle. The ignition phenomenon of the coal particles fed into a laminar flow reactor was imaged with a Integrated charged-coupled device (ICCD) camera. The ignition points were determined throught the analysis of the images, and then the ignition delay times were able to be calculated. The experiment results show that a lower oxygen concentration increases the ignition delay time.

The ignition of propane was investigated behind reflected shock waves in the temperature range of 1350-1800 K and the pressure range of 0.75-1.57 bar. The ignition delay time was measured from the increase of pressure and OH emission in the C3H8-O2-Ar system. The relationship between the ignition delay time and the concentrations of propane and oxygen was determined in the form of mass-action expression with an Arrhenius temperature dependence. The numerical calculations were also performed to elucidate the important steps in the reaction scheme of propane ignition using various reaction mechanisms. The ignition delay times calculated from the mechanism of Sung et al.1 were in good agreement with the observed ones.
