Flame structure, which contains a useful information for studying combustion instability of the flame, is often quantitatively visualized with PLIF (planar laser-induced fluorescence) and/or chemiluminescence images. The latter, a line-integral of a flame property, needs to be preprocessed before being inverted, mainly due to its inherent noise and the axisymmetry assumption of the inversion. A preprocessing scheme utilizing multi-division of ROI (region of interest) of the chemiluminescence image is proposed. Its feasibility has been tested with OH PLIF and $OH^*$ chemiluminescence images of SNG (synthetic natural gas) swirl-stabilized flames taken from a model gas turbine combustor. It turns out that the multi-division technique outperforms two conventional ones: those are, one without preprocessing and the other with uni-division preprocessing, reconstructing the SNG flame structure much better than its two counterparts, when compared with the corresponding OH PLIF images. It is also found that the Canny edge detection algorithm used for detecting edges in the multi-division method works better than the Sobel algorithm does.

This paper described an experimental investigations of combustion instability mode in a lean premixed dual swirl combustor for micro-gasturbine system. When such the instability occurs, a strong coupling between pressure oscillations and unsteady heat release excites a self-sustained acoustic wave which results in a loud, annoyed sound and may also lead a structural damage to the combustion chamber. The detailed period of flame behavior and heat release in combustion instability mode have been examined with high speed OH and CH-PLIF system and $CH^*$ chemiluminescence measurement, flame tomography with operated at 10 kHz and 6 kHz each. Experiment results suggest that unstable flame behavior has a specific frequency with 200 Hz and this frequency is accords with about 1/2 sub-harmonic of combustor resonance frequency, not fundamental frequency. This is very interesting phenomenon that have not reported yet from other previous works. Therefore, when a thermo-acoustic instability with Rayleigh criterion occurs, the fact that the period of heat release and flame behavior are different each other was proposed for the first time through this work.

ATR 엔진 연소기 내부에서의 연료와 공기의 혼합성능은 연소 안정성이나 효율에 지배적인 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 ATR 모델 연소기에서의 혼합성능을 비교하기 위하여 두 유체의 속도 비$(r=v_a/v_f)$를 변화시키면서 연료분포를 측정하였다. 측정 방법으로는 2차원 연료분포를 얻기 위하여 널리 이용되는 평면레이저 유도형광기법과 화상처리 기법을 사용하여 연료분포 이미지를 얻었다. 측정된 연료분포 화상으로부터 공기속도/연료속도 비가 1에 가까울수록 연료 혼합성능이 떨어지는 특성을 관찰하였다.

Fuel distribution, combustion, and flame propagation characteristics of heavy duty engine with the liquid phase LPG injection(LPLI) were studied in a single cylinder engine. Optically accessible single cylinder engine and laser diagnostics system were built for quantifying fuel concentration by acetone PLIF(planar laser induced fluorescence) measurements. In case of Otto cycle engine with large bore size, the engine knock and thermal stress of exhaust manifold are so critical that lean burn operation is needed to reduce the problems. It is generally known that fuel stratification is one of the key technologies to extend the lean misfire limit. The formation of rich mixture in the spark plug vicinity was achieved by open valve injection. With higher swirl strength(Rs=3.4) and open valve injection, the cloud of fuel followed the flow direction and the radial air/fuel mixing was limited by strong swirl flow. It was expected that axial stratification was maintained with open-valve injection if the radial component of the swirling motion was stronger than the axial components. The axial fuel stratification and concentration were sensitive to fuel injection timing in case of Rs=3.4 while those were relatively independent of the injection timing in case of Rs2.3. Thus, strong swirl flow could promote desirable axial fuel stratification and, in result, may make flame propagation stable in the early stage of combustion.

A preprocessing scheme utilizing multi-division of the ROI (region of interest) in a chemiluminescence image during inversion is proposed. The resulting inverted image shows the flame's structure, which can be useful for studying combustion instability. The flame structure is often quantitatively visualized with PLIF (planar laser-induced fluorescence) images as well. The chemiluminescence image, which is a line-integral of the flame, needs to be preprocessed before inversion, mainly due to the inherent noise and the assumption of axisymmetry during the inversion. The feasibility of the multi-division preprocessing technique has been tested with experimentally-obtained OH PLIF and $OH^*$ chemiluminescence images of jet and swirl-stabilized flames burning substitute natural gas (SNG). It turns out that the technique outperforms two conventional methods, specifically, the technique without preprocessing and the one with uni-division, reconstructing the SNG flame structures much better than its two counterparts when compared using corresponding OH PLIF images. The characteristics of the optimum degree of polynomials to be applied for curve-fitting of the flame region data for the multi-division method involving two flames has also been investigated.

액체 산소와 탄화수소계 연료를 사용하는 로켓에서 삼중 충돌형(FOF, OFO) 인젝터가 흔히 사용된다. 일반적으로 FOF 형태가 OFO에 비해 낮은 성능을 보인다는 것이 알려져 있지만, 벽면 열전달에 있어서 보다 효율적인 방식이다. 한편, 산화제와 연료 분사구 직경 차가 큰 FOF 형태에서 산화제 분사구가 분리된 분리 삼중 충돌형 FOOF 인젝터(이하 FOOF 인젝터)가 제안된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 비반응 분무 실험을 통해 FOOF 인젝터의 분무 특성을 FOF와 비교하였다. PLLIF 기법을 이용하여 산화제와 연료의 질량 분포를 측정하였고, 순간사진을 이용하여 액적의 크기를 측정하였다. 실험결과를 통해 FOOF 형태의 인젝터가 FOF에 비해 보다 안정적인 혼합 효율을 나타내며 액적 크기는 두 형태의 인젝터가 큰 차이 없이 비슷한 경향을 보임을 알 수 있었다.
