Flammability limits of opposed flow diffusion flame in a narrow channel was investigated experimentally and theoretically. There were three different extinction modes corresponding to high strain rate (HSR), low strain rate (LSR) and dilution ratio (DR) limits. To investigate these limits, a theoretical study was followed by focusing on flow and heat transfer characteristics. Consequently, a dead space concept that has been used for premixed flames was important to reveal the heat loss mechanism in a narrow channel especially for LSR conditions even in the case of diffusion flames.

다공배플을 가진 마이크로연소기에 레이놀즈응력 난류모형을 이용하여 난류유동 및 혼합특성에 대한 수치해석 연구를 수행하였다. 다공배플은 연소실 내부에 다수의 3차원 와유동을 발생시키는 기하학적 특징을 가지고 있다. 그러한 형상특징 중에서 배플두께를 변화시킬 경우 와유동구조의 다양한 변화가 얻어졌다. 여러 와유동중에서 연료유동으로부터 생성된 와유동은 혼합도 증가에 결정적 역할을 하였다. 연소실 내부의 3차원 와유동구조는 배플두께 변화에 따른 유동의 발달상태에 의존하였다. 특히, 배플두께가 연료유입구 직경보다 작을수록 배플구멍 제트유동의 속도분포는 포물선형태에서 안장모양의 형태로 변하였다. 연소실내부의 재순환영역크기 및 혼합도는 이러한 제트유동구조에 밀접한 상관관계를 가졌다.

배플이 있는 마이크로 연소기의 난류유동 및 연소특성이 레이놀즈 응력 모형에 의하여 조사되었다. 형상변화에 따른 난류 연소유동 대한 영향을 살펴보기 위하여, 여러 개의 배플형상이 선택되었다. 유동구조와 온도장의 상관관계가 재순환 영역, 화염크기, 열손실 변화에 의해 조사되었다. 유동혼합은 연료 유입구의 직경을 감소시키는 것보다 공기유입구의 직경을 감소시키는 것이 더 효율적이었다. 연료 또는 공기유입구의 직경이 감소함에 따라 연소효율은 증가하였고, 화염길이는 감소하였다. 또한, 공기유입구의 직경이 감소함에 따라 연소온도와 열손실이 증가하고, 반면에 연료유입구의 직경이 감소함에 따라 연소온도와 열손실은 감소되었다.

In the present study, catalytic combustion of hydrogen-air premixture in a millimeter scale monolith coated with Pt catalyst was investigated. As the combustor size decreases, the heat loss increases in proportion with the inverse of the scale of combustion chamber and combustion efficiency decreases in a conventional type of combustor. Combustion reaction assisted by catalyst can reduce the heat loss by decreasing the reaction temperature at which catalytic conversion takes place. Another advantage of catalytic combustion is that ignition is not required. Platinum was coated by incipient wetness method on a millimeter scale monolith with cell size of $1{\times}1mm$. Using this monolith as the core of the reaction chamber, temperatures were recorded at various locations along the flow direction. Burnt gas was passed to a gas chromatography system to measure the hydrogen content after the reaction. The measurements were made at various volume flow rate of the fuel-air premixture. The gas chromatography results showed the reaction was complete at all the test conditions and the reacting species penetrated the laminar boundary layer at the honeycomb and made contact with the catalyst coated surface. At all the measuring locations, the record showed monotonous increase of temperature during the measurement duration. And the temperature profile showed that the peak temperature is reached at the point nearest to the gas inlet and decreasing temperature along the flow direction.

The effects of hydrogen enrichment to methane have been investigated with swirl-stabilized premixed hydrogen-enriched methane flame in a laboratory-scale pre-mixed combustor. The hydrogen-enriched methane fuel and air 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 hydrogen addition to the methane fuel and different swirl strengths. The hydrogen addition effects and swirl intensity on the combustion characteristics of pre-mixed methane flames were examined using micro-thermocouple, particle image velocity meter (PIV) and 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 ignition energy from 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 higher combustibility of hydrogen makes reaction faster, raises the temperature of reaction zone and expands the reaction zone, consequently recirculation flow to reaction zone is reduced. The temperature of reaction zone increases with hydrogen addition even though the adiabatic flame temperature of the mixture gas decreases with increase in the amount of hydrogen addition in this experiment condition because the higher combustibility of hydrogen reduces the cooler recirculation flow to the reaction zone.

The combustion characteristics of methane/hydrogen pre-mixed flame have been investigated with swirl stabilized flame in a laboratory-scale pre-mixed combustor with constant heat load of 5.81 kW. Hydrogen/methane fuel and air were mixed in a pre-mixer and introduced to the combustor through a burner nozzle with different degrees of swirl angle. The effects of hydrogen addition and swirl intensity on the combustion characteristics of pre-mixed methane flames were examined using particle image velocimetry (PIV), micro-thermocouples, various optical interference filters and gas analyzers to provide information about flow velocity, temperature distributions, and species concentrations of the reaction field. The results show that higher swirl intensity creates more recirculation flow, which reduces the temperature of the reaction zone and, consequently, reduces the thermal NO production. The distributions of flame radicals (OH, CH, C₂) are dependent more on the swirl intensity than the percentage of hydrogen added to methane fuel. The NO concentration at the upper part of the reaction zone is increased with an increase in hydrogen content in the fuel mixture because higher combustibility of hydrogen assists to promote faster chemical reaction, enabling more expansion of the gases at the upper part of the reaction zone, which reduces the recirculation flow. The CO concentration in the reaction zone is reduced with an increase in hydrogen content because the amount of C content is relatively decreased.
