In this study, a new type of laser-induced ignition using a conical cavity has been developed to utilize all the available incident laser energy. In the method, it is possibile to ignite combustible methane/air mixtures by directing a laser beam of a constant small diameter into a small conical cavity, without focusing the laser beam. Shadow graphs for the early stage of combustion process show that a hot gas jet is ejected from the cavity, especially with lean mixture. After a very show time, the hot gas jet finishes issuing and the flame behavior is quite similar to flame propagation initiated by a conventional spark ignition. The combustion process using the new method exhibits more rapid pressure increase and a higher maximum pressure rise than that of the center ignition using laser-induced spark, with significant decrease in the combustion time. Also, the new ignition method is numerically modeled to simulate the flame kernel development and subsequent combustion process using the KIVA-IIcode. The calculated results show satisfactory agreement with experimental results.

금속 연료로 사용되는 마이크로/나노 알루미늄 입자를 산화피막에 의한 점화 지연을 최소화 하는 점화 방법을 제시 하였다. 알루미늄 입자를 생성시킴과 동시에 가열하여 입자가 생성된 직후 산소와 접촉시 격렬한 산화 반응을 유도하여 점화를 시키는 방법이다. 1064 nm 파장의 Nd:YAG 펄스 레이저를 이용한 레이저 삭마(laser ablation)를 알루미늄 시편에 발생시켜 입자를 생성하였으며, 산란 기법(scattering method)을 이용하여 입자를 가시화하여 생성을 확인하였다. 10.6 ${\mu}m$ 파장의 $CO_2$ 연속 레이저를 사용하여 알루미늄 시편을 가열하고 생성된 입자의 점화 열원으로 사용하여 알루미늄 입자가 점화되고 연소되어 이동하는 궤적을 확인하였다.

Flame propagation in a four-valve spark-ignition optical engine was visualized under lean-bum conditions with A/F=18 at 2000rpm. The early flame development in a four-valve pentroof-chamber single-cylinder engine was examined with imaging of the laser-induced Mie scattered light using an image-intensified CCD camera. Flame profiles along the line-of-sight were also visualized through a quartz piston window. Two-dimensional flame structures were visualized with a Proxitronic HF-1 fast motion camera system by Mie scattering from titanium dioxide particles along a planar laser sheet generated by a copper vapor laser. The flame propagation images were subsequently analysed with an image processing programme to obtain information about the flame structure under different tumble flow conditions generated by sleeved and non-sleeved intake ports. This allowed enhancement of the flame images and calculation of the enflamed area, and the displacement of its center, as a function of the tumble flow induced by the pentroof-chamber in the vicinity of spark plug. Image processing of the early flame development quantified the correlation between flame and flow characteristics near the spark plug at the time of ignition which has been known to be one of the most important factors in cyclic combustion variations in lean-burn engines. The results were also compared with direct flame images obtained from the natural flame luminosity of the lean mixture.

Surgical fires require an ignition source, oxidizer, and fuel. The pulsed dye laser (PDL) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids in dermatology. With the increasing number of applications of $CO_2$, laser as ignition source has been associated with operating room fires in the otorhinolaryngologic field. There have been many case reports on PDL-induced fires in dermatology, but until now, there were no reports in the larynx. We describe a 57-year-old patient diagnosed with laryngeal hyperkeratosis treated by PDL-assisted laryngomicrosurgery. In this case, we experienced incidental PDL tip flaring during pulsed dye laser vaporization.

Ignition of a reactive solid with rough surface by constant heat flux is studied. The geometry of surface is represented by a protrusion in shape of cone of infinite length. Ignition time and ignition criterion versus apex angle are determined, with the use of heterogeneous model of ignition. To study the effect of geometry on ignition the results are compared with the known results for the one-dimensional ignition of the semi-infinite body. It is shown, that: a) ignition time depends strongly upon the apex angle and is proportional to the angle to the second power; b) ignition criterion and ignition temperature do not depend strongly on angle. The ignition delay and the energy required for the successful ignition are substantially reduced compared to the one-dimensional case.

Simultaneous laser ignition and spectroscopy is a scheme that enables rapid determination of the local equivalence ratio and condensed fuel concentration during a reaction in a two phase spray flame. We have conducted quantitative analysis of the LIBS signals according to the equivalence ratio, droplet size, droplet number density and droplet concentration as a part of novel feedback control strategy proposed for flame ignition and stabilization with simultaneous in situ combustion flow diagnostics. This is a desirable scheme since such real time information onboard an engine for instance can be constantly monitored and fed back to the control loop to enhance the mixing process and minimize emissions of unwanted species and potential combustion instability.

Mixture formation in the cylinder of a lean bum engine has been observed by Laser Induced Fluorescence technique. XeCl laser (308nm) was used to produce a laser sheet. 3-pentanone has been added to iso-octane fuel to produce fluorescence, the intensity of which is proportional to the concentration of the fuel. The laser sheet was introduced through the piston window and the fuel distribution in the vertical plane was observed through a side window. Comparison has been made for the cases of selected fuel injection timing as 0, 360, 405, and 450 CA. For the case of 0 and 360 CA injection, uniform fuel distribution in the combustion chamber has been obtained at the ignition time which is favorable for the high load mode. And the late injection cases, 405 and 450 CA, revealed the stratified formation of rich mixture around the spark plug. That extends the lean misfire limit and reduces cyclic variation in the low load mode.

Tunable KrF Excimer Laser is used here for measuring OH and $O_2$ density distribustion in an open $H_2$/air premixed flame and in a combustion bomb. Laser Rayleigh Scattering(LRS) and Planar Laser Induced Predissociative Fluorescence(PLIPF) methods are used to obtain two-dimensional images of total and specific densities. Laser Excitation wavelengths are calibrated via flame images and combustion bomb images show good qualitative a greement with theoretical calculation. Furthermore images in a combustion bomb can be developed to study real Spark-Ignition engine combustions. Our experimental images show that there are no more collisional quenching problem at high pressure environment(including atmospheric pressure) using predissociative fluorescence technique. Further development to obtain two-dimensional temperature dustribution is ready to use eventhough it is not reported in this paper.

Flame propagation along vortex tube was experimentally investigated. The vortex tube was generated by the ejection of propane from a nozzle through a single stroke motion of a speaker and the ignition was induced from a single pulse laser. Non-reactive flow fields were visualized using shadow technique. From these images, vortex ring size and translational velocity were measured in order to determine the ignition time and position. Flame structure and flame speed were measured using high speed CCD camera. Flame speed was accelerated during the initial stage of flame kernel growth, and reached near constant value during steady propagation period. Near the completion of propagation, flame speed was decelerated and then extinguished. Flame speed along the non-premixed vortex tube was found to be linearly proportional to circulation, which was similar to that of the flame propagation along premixed vortex ring. Ignition position minimally affects the propagation characteristics. These imply that flame is propagating along the maximum speed locus expected to be along stoichiometric contour and also support the existence of tribrachial flames.
