The catalytically stabilized combustion of $CH_4$-air mixture on platinum catalyst was investigated numerically using a 2-D boundary layer model with detailed heterogeneous and homogeneous chemistries. The actual surface site density of monolith coated with platinum was decided by the comparison with experimental data. The comparisons were made between results for cases where only heterogeneous chemistry was allowed and both heterogeneous and homogeneous chemistries were allowed. It was found that the homogeneous reaction in the monolith had little effect on the change of temperature profile, methane conversion rate and light off location. The contributions of each reactions related with CO formation were discussed on the surface. The effects of operation conditions such as equivalence ratio, temperature, velocity and pressure at the entrance were studied. In thermal combustor, CO and NOx was produced less than 1 ppm at the exit and the production of $N_{2}O$ was more dominant than that of NO.

The combustion characteristics of methane oxygen diffusion flames have been investigated to give basic information for designing industrial oxyfuel combustors. NOx reduction has become one of the most determining factors in the combustor design since the small amount of nitrogen is included from the current low cost oxygen production process. Flame lengths decreased with increasing fuel or oxygen velocity because of the enhancement of mixing effect. Correlation equation between flame length and turbulent kinetic energy was proposed. NOx concentration was reduced with increasing fuel or oxygen velocity because of the enhanced entrainment of the product gas into flame zone as well as the reduction of residence time in combustion zone.

The prediction performance of the chemical kinetics for the numerical simulation of MILD combustion was investigated. A wall-confined turbulent methane jet combustor was adopted as a configuration. Four chemical kinetics, such as a global 3-step, WD4, Skeletal, and DRM-19, were investigated, The air stream of the wall-confined MILD jet combustor was diluted with combustion products. It was found that the DRM-19 was optimal for the numerical simulation of the MILD combustion.

To clarify the effects of equivalence ratio, initial pressure and temperature on the flame propagation and radicals characteristics, a series of the experimental study were conducted in a quiescent methane-air premixture using a constant volume chamber. The development of the flame was visualized following the start of ignition using high speed schlieren photo and radical images by intensified CCD camera. Combustion pressure and ion current were recorded simultaneously according to the experimental conditions which were equivalence ratio with 0.7 to 1.2, initial pressure with 0.08 MPa to 0.40 MPa and initial premixture temperature with 3l3.2K to 403.2K. The results showed that the flame speed by ion current and mass fraction burned by combustion pressure characterized the effects of flame propagation very well. And increased combustion duration due to lean combustion condition that was below equivalence ratio, 0.8 caused cycle variation and decreasing the power of engine.

화염 가시화가 가능한 모델 연소실에서 형상과 리세스 길이가 다른 6종의 동축 와류형 분사기를 이용한 연소실험을 수행하였다. 실제 추진제 대신 기체메탄과 기체산소를 사용하여, 분사기 설계와 실험 조건이 화염구조와 연소 안정성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실험조건뿐 아니라 리세스 길이 및 오리피스 직경과 같은 분사기 형상은 연소 안정성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 연소불안정의 발생에 따라 열방출 패턴의 형상이 달라지는 것이 확인할 수 있었다.

Hydrogen with high chemical reactivity and combustion efficiency, is expected to reduce greenhouse gas and CO emission. However, there is a problem of increase in NOx emission due to hydrogen combustion. MILD combustion technology has been proposed to resolve NOx emission. In this study, the characteristics of MILD combustion and NOx formation by flue gas recirculation (KV) in CH₄-H₂ mixture were analyzed and predicted using 0D premixed combustion model. The ignition delay time became shorter as the hydrogen co-firing rate increased, and longer as the recirculation rate increased. For NOx emission, EINO decreased as the KV increased, but EINO increased as the hydrogen co- firing rate increased. In particular, EINO was predicted to increase significiently above 80% hydrogen. Through the pathway analysis of NO formation, it was found that the influence of N₂O intermediate route and NNH route was enhanced for hydrogen co-firing.

The effects of carbon dioxide addition to oxygen have been investigated with swirl-stabilized premixed methane flame in a laboratory-scale pre-mixed combustor. The methane fuel and oxydant mixture gas ($CO_2$ and $O_2$) were mixed in a pre-mixer and introduced to the combustor through different degrees of swirl vanes. The flame characteristics were examined for different amount of carbon dioxide addition to the methane fuel and different swirl strengths. The effects of carbon dioxide addition and swirl intensity on the combustion characteristics of pre-mixed methane flames were examined using chemiluminescence techniques to provide information about flow field. The results show that the flame area increases at upstream of reaction zone because of increase in recirculation flow for increase in swirl intensity. The flame area is also increased at the downstream zone by recirculation flow because of increase in swirl intensity which results in higher centrifugal force. The OH and CH radical intensity of reaction zone decrease with carbon dioxide addition because the carbon dioxide plays a role of dilution gas in the reaction zone.

본 연구는 이원추진제 추력기(thruster)에 사용되는 메탄-산소 연소특성규명의 선행연구로서 모델연소실 내 전단동축형인젝터를 통해 분사된 기체메탄-기체산소 비예혼합화염의 연소안정한계 및 화염형상을 도출하기 위한 실험적 연구가 수행되었다. DSLR 카메라를 이용하여 화염 직접이미지(direct image)를 촬영하였고, 이미지 후처리(post-processing)를 통해 연소특성파악 및 화염길이 정량화를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 산화제 레이놀즈 수($Re_o$)가 증가함에 따라 이론반응비(stoichiometric ratio)에서 안정된 화염이 발생하였고, 동일 인젝터직경 조건에서 난류화염의 길이가 늘어남을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the effects of initial pressure of mixture on CO, $CO_2$ and NOx emissions in constant volume combustion chamber. The CO, $CO_2,O_2,N_2$ concentrations in the chamber are determined by thermal conductivity detection (Gas-chromatograph) wile the NOx concentration is measured by chemiluminescent detection (NOx Analyser). Methane-air mixture is used as premixed fuel and the measurements are taken with equivalence ratios($\phi$) varing from 0.6 to 1.3, and initial pressures of methane-air mixture varing from 0.1MPa to 0.8MPa in constant volume combustion chamber. The NOx concentration steadily increases with increasing equivalence ratio, peaks in lean flame ($\phi$=0.85~0.9), and then rapidly decreases. However, as the initial pressure of mixture is increased, the equivalence ratio corresponding to the point of peak [NOx] shifts towards leaner conditions. This is caused by a similar shift in the peak [CH], which is caused by the variation with pressure and equivalence ratio of the rate of CH production from $CH_2$ and OH. The maximum combustion pressure peaks at $\phi$ =1.05 and the $CO_2$ concentration peaks at $\phi$=0.95~1.0 while the CO concentration rises sharply at the condition of fuel-rich mixtures. This is caused by complete combustion at $\phi$=0.95.

본 연구에서는 국내외 저탄소 녹색성장을 위한 대안으로서 수소에너지와 그 이용 기술에 대한 관심이 높아지는 추세에 발맞춰 무탄소 연료인 수소를 LNG 의 주성분인 메탄, 메탄-프로판, 메탄-프로판-에탄 동축류 확산화염 내에 첨가하여 화염형상 및 연소생성물에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 상온상압 조건의 확산화염에 수소를 단계적으로 첨가하여 실제 생성되는 연소생성물의 변화 추이를 가스 분석기를 이용하여 실험적으로 관찰하였고 확산화염의 형상은 디지털카메라를 이용하여 단계적으로 관찰 하였다. 실험결과에서 확산화염에 수소를 첨가함에 따라 질소산화물의 생성량이 선형에 가깝게 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이것은 수소의 상대적으로 높은 단열화염온도와 빠른 연소속도가 Thermal NOx의 생성을 촉진했기 때문이다. 반면 이산화탄소의 생성량은 감소하는 경향이 나타났는데 수소를 첨가함에 따라 메탄, 메탄-프로판, 메탄-에탄-프로판의 혼합 확산화염에 포함되어있는 전체 탄소비율이 줄어들어 이산화탄소의 생성량이 감소한 것이다. 이는 선박에서 LNG-수소의 혼합 연료사용으로 인해 온실가스인 이산화탄소를 저감할 수 있는 하나의 방안으로 고려될 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.
