The objective of this study is to investigate the real flame shape and characteristic of annular combustor. To identify the effects of combustor length ratio and equivalence ratio on the flame shape in annular combustion configuration, the employed parameters are combustor length ratio 0.6-1.0, equivalence ratio 0.7-1.1. The flame shape is visualized using DSLR camera and precision optic mirror. The flame intensity is analyzed by $OH^{*}$ chemiluminescence images with ICCD camera. CO and NOx emission performance is also examined using an exhaust gas analyzer. From the visualized images, it is confirmed that the different tendency appeared in combustor length ratio 0.6-0.7 and 0.8-1.0. The results of $OH^{*}$ chemiluminescence show that the flame intensity is the most uniform for equivalence ratio 0.9. The smaller equivalence ratio is, the less emission of CO and NOx will be in this investigation range.

The laminar lifted jet flames for methane diluted with helium and nitrogen in co-flow air have been investigated experimentally. Such jet flames could be lifted in both buoyancy-dominated and jet momentum dominated regimes (even at nozzle exit velocities much higher than stoichiometric laminar flame speed) despite the Schmidt number less than unity. Chemiluminescence intensities of $OH^*$ radical (good indicators of heat release rate) and the radius of curvature for tri-brachial flame were measured using an intensified charge coupled device (ICCD) camera and digital video camera at various conditions. It was shown that, an increase in $OH^*$ concentration causes increase of edge flame speed via enhanced chemical reaction in buoyancy dominated regime. In jet momentum dominated regime, an increase in radius of curvature in addition to the increased $OH^*$ concentration stabilizes such lifted flames. Stabilization of such lifted flames is discussed based on the stabilization mechanism.

스월/전단 동축형 인젝터를 통해 형성된 기체메탄-기체산소 확산화염의 동역학적 거동 및 구조분석을 위해 다양한 추진제 분사조건에 따른 연소실험이 수행되었다. 연구결과, 자발광 기법을 통해 가시화된 확산화염의 $OH^*$ 방사강도는 추진제 공급유량 및 운동량 플럭스 비 증가에 따라 높은 값을 나타내고 있으며, 스월을 가지는 화염은 그렇지 않은 것에 비해 더 우수한 반응성을 보였다.

Experiments were carried out in an atmopheric pressure, lab-scale gas turbine combustor to see the effect of partial premixing on unstable flame structure and $NO_X$ emission characteristics. The swirl angle is 45 deg., fuel-air mixing degrees were varied 0, 50, and 100% respectively at equivalence ration ranging from 0.53 to 0.79. The evaluation of phased-locked OH chemiluminescence images were acquired with an ICCD. $NO_X$ emission characteristics were also investigated at each experimental condition. The effect of the fuel-air mixing degree on the flame structure was obtained from phase-locked $OH^*$ images. And it was obtained from local heat release characteristics that the information about the region which the combustion instability was amplified or damped. It also could be confirmed that ${\sigma}$ has greatly influence on $NO_X $emission characteristics at lean regimes. It would be expected that it could provide invaluable data for understanding the mechanism of combustion instability

Combustion instabilities are an important concern associated with lean premixed combustion. Laboratory-scale dump combustor was used to understand the underlying mechanisms causing combustion instabilities. Experiments were conducted at atmospheric pressure and sound level meter was used to track the pressure fluctuations inside the combustor. Instability maps and phase-resolved OH chemiluminescence images were obtained at several conditions to investigate the mechanism of combustion instability and relations between pressure wave and heat release rate. It showed that combustion instability was susceptible to occur at higher value of equivalence ratio (>0.6) as the mean velocity was decreased. Instabilities exhibited a longitudinal mode with a dominant frequency of ∼341.8 Hz, which corresponded to a quarter wave mode of combustor. Heat release and pressure waves were in-phase when instabilities occurred. Rayleigh index distribution gave a hint about the location where the strong coherence of pressure and heat release existed. These results also give an insight to the control scheme of combustion instabilities. Emission test revealed that NOx emissions were affected by not only equivalence ratio but also combustion instability.

The knowledge of flame structure is essential for control of combustion instability phenomena. Some results of an experimental study on mechanism of naturally occurring combustion oscillations with a single dominant frequency are presented. Tests were conducted in a laboratory-scale dump combustor at atmospheric pressure. Sound level meter was used to track the pressure wave inside the combustor. The observed instability was a longitudinal mode with a frequency of $\sim341.8Hz$. Instability map was obtained at the condition of inlet temperature of $360^{\circ}C$, mean velocities of $8.5\sim10.8m/s$ and well premixed mixture. It showed that combustion instability was susceptible to occur in the lean conditions. In this study, unstable flame was observed from stoichiometric to 0.7 in overall equivalence ratio. At selected unstable conditions, phase-resolved OH chemiluminescence images were captured to investigate flame structure with various mean velocities. As mean velocity is increased, the flame grows and global heat release was changed. Due to these effects, combustion instability can be maintained at more lean air-fuel ratio. Also, these results give an insight to the controlling mechanism for an increasing heat release at maximum pressure.

The characteristics of combustion and flow for a lean premixed flame in lab-scale gas turbine combustor was studied through experiment and numerical analysis. From the experiment, flame structure and heat release rate were obtained from OH emission spectroscopy. Qualitative comparisons were made line-integrated OH chemiluminescence image and abel-transformed one. NOx analyzer was implemented to get the characteristic of NOx exhaust from the combustor. From the numerical analysis, the thermal distribution and characteristic of recirculation zone with the change of fuel-air mixing degree, the characteristic of methane distribution with equivalence ratio in the combustor respectively. Total heat release rate is increased with increasing equivalence ratio. Thermal Nox is reduced with increasing fuel-air mixing degree. Increasing equivalence ratio results in the decrease of the size of reaction zone and alteration of the position of the reaction zone into the entrance of the combustor.

The present study deals with experimental investigations on the syngas-oxygen combustion characteristics of a swirl-stabilized premixed flame in a 10 kW combustor. The effect of hydrogen in syngas has been investigated with different swirl angles to identify the role of hydrogen and swirl strength on the flame stability and CO emissions. The results show that hydrogen addition extended the blowout limit while narrowing the flashback limit. The dependence of blowout on the swirl angle is negligible while the dependence of flashback on the swirl angle is evidenced by two regimes depending on the amount of hydrogen. CO emission is decreased with increasing excess $O_2$ supply or increasing hydrogen content. Chemiluminescence diagnostics is utilized to provide information on the structure of a swirl-stabilized premixed flame. The OH chemiluminescence intensity is more concentrated near the burner exit with an increase in the hydrogen content, which results from high reactivity of hydrogen.

연소불안정과 밀접한 관련이 있는 열방출의 측정은 연소불안정을 제어하는데 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 희박예혼합연소에서 반응영역의 위치와 전체, 국소 열방출률의 지표로 많이 사용되는 $OH^{\ast}$ 이미지를 ICCD를 이용해 취득하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 당량비가 전체 열방출률과 국소 레일라이 지수 분포에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 국소 레일라이 지수 분포는 선적분된 이미지를 아벨 역변환 시켜서 화염의 중앙 단면 정보를 통해 얻을 수 있었다. 각 당량비 조건에서, 한 주기 동안의 열방출의 평균값은 당량비가 증가함에 따라 지수 함수적으로 증가하였다. 국소 레일라이 지수 분포 결과로부터, 연소불안정을 증폭시키거나 소멸시키는 영역을 분명히 알 수 있었다. 이것은 넓은 당량비 조건에 대한 화염구조와 연소불안정 영역에 대한 통찰력을 제공한다.

본 연구는 연료-공기 혼합정도가 불안정 화염 구조와 NOx 배출 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 대기압, 모형 가스 터빈 연소기에서 실험을 수행하였다. 선회각은 $45^{\circ}$이며, 연료-공기 혼합정도는 당량비 0.53에서 0.79 범위에서 0, 50, 100%로 변화시켰다. 화염구조를 파악하기 위해, 당량비 0.79에서 ICCD를 사용하여 위상 동기화된 OH 자발광 이미지를 취득하였다. NOx 배출은 각 상기 실험조건에서 NOx 분석기를 이용하여 취득하였다. 위상에 대한 $OH^*$ 이미지를 취득함으로써 연료-공기 혼합정도가 화염의 구조에 미치는 영향을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 국소 열방출의 특성을 통해, 연료-공기 혼합정도에 따른 연소불안정이 발생하거나 소멸되는 영역에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있었으며, 혼합정도에 따른 NOx 농도를 측정함으로써 희박 연소 영역에서는 $\sigma$가 커질수록 NOx 발생이 적음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이런 결과들은 연소불안정 현상의 메카니즘을 이해하는데 중요한 기초자료로 사용될 것으로 기대된다.
