본 연구에서는 연소 불안정성의 능동적 제어를 위해 정상초음파장이 예혼합화염의 거동에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위한 실험 결과를 제시한다. 화염구조변이를 관찰하기 위해 슐리렌 기법을 이용하였으며, 초기압력 및 연소챔버 개폐 유무에 따라 화염선단의 형태 및 화염 전파속도를 고찰하였다. 정상초음파장에 의한 화염선단의 찌그러짐이 관찰되었고, 반사파와 정상초음파의 영향으로 연꽃모양의 화염(lotus flame)이 형성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

To investigate cell formation in hydrocarbon/hydrogen/carbon monoxide-air premixed flames, the outward propagation and cellular instabilities were experimentally studied in a constant pressure combustion chamber at room temperature and elevated pressures. Unstretched laminar burning velocities and Markstein lengths of the mixtures were obtained by analyzing high-speed schlieren images. In this study, hydrodynamic and diffusional- thermal instabilities were evaluated to examine their effects on flame instabilities. The experimentally-measured unstretched laminar burning velocities were compared to numerical predictions using the PREMIX code. Effective Lewis numbers of premixed flames with methane addition decreased for all of the cases; meanwhile, effective Lewis numbers with propane addition increased for lean and stoichiometric conditions and increased for rich and stoichiometric cases for hydrogen-enriched flames. With the addition of propane, the propensity for cell formation significantly was diminished, whereas cellular instabilities for hydrogen-enriched flames were promoted. However, similar behavior of cellularity was obtained with the addition of methane to the reactant mixtures.

Characteristics of methane direct-injection spark-ignition stratified combustion in lean hydrogen mixture were analyzed both in a single cylinder engine and in a constant volume combustion chamber. Combustion pressure and Instantaneous combustion chamber wall temperature during the combustion process were measured with a thin-film thermocouple and used in analyses of combustion and cooling loss. Results in this research show that the premixed hydrogen increases cooling loss to combustion chamber wall while achieving combustion promotion, and the combustion system is effective especially in lean mixture conditions. Analysis of flame propagation was also done with Schlieren photography in the constant volume combustion chamber.

Flame propagation characteristics of propane-air mixtures were experimentally investigated in constant-volume combustion chambers. Flame propagation process was observed as a function of mixture strength, initial mixture temperature and initial mixture pressure in quiescent mixtures. A cylindrical combustion chamber and a spherical combustion chamber contain a pair of parallel windows through which optical access into the chamber can be provided. Laser two beam deflection method was adopted to measure the local flame propagation, which gave information on the flame size and flame propagation speed. Pressure development was also measured by a piezoelectric pressure transducer to characterize combustion in quiescent mixtures. Burning velocity was calculated from flame propagation and pressure measurements. The effect of flow on flame propagation was also investigated under flowing mixture conditions. Laser two beam method was found to be feasible in measuring flame propagation of quiescent mixtures. Flame was observed to propagate faster with higher initial mixture temperature and lower initial pressure. Combustion duration was shortened in the highly turbulent flowing mixtures.

An experimental study on homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion with direct fuel injection was conducted using a single cylinder common-rail diesel engine. To improve the homogeneity of fuel-air mixture, the premixed fuel (gasoline) was injected into premixing chamber and the diesel fuel was injected into the combustion chamber as an ignition source for the gasoline premixture. The experimental results show that soot emissions were dramatically reduced with the increase of fuel premixing ratio, however incomplete products such as HC and CO increased with the increase of the premixed ratio. Earlier injection of Dl diesel fuel increased the IMEP with the decrease of HC and CO concentrations.

본 연구에서는 고압하의 분무연소에 있어서 매연생성에 대한 기초적 자료를 얻기 위해 난류 확산화염의 복잡한 디이젤 분무연소를 예혼합기에 의한 단순한 연소에 서 모델링 될 수 있는 특수 정적연소 장치를 제작했다. 이러한 정적 연소용기내의 프로판-공기 예혼합기연소를 대상으로, 주로 압력이 매연생성에 미치는 영향을 2색법 에 의한 연소가스온도측정과 더불어 4MPa까지의 넓은 압력범위에 걸쳐 조사했다.

예혼합 버너는 높은 효율과 낮은 배기 때문에 가정용 보일러 버너 시스템에 매우 강력한 버너이다. 일반적으로 가정용 보일러 버너는 내부에 농후한 예혼합 불꽃으로 구성하고 연료는 2차공기의 공급에 의하여 완전연소 되는 분젠 버너를 이용한다. 이것은 상대적으로 긴 불꽃 길이와 높은 과잉공기비에서 작동하기 때문에 높은 효율을 갖는 소형 보일러에 적용하기 어렵다. 이 논문에서 메탈 화이버, 세라믹, SUS 핀과 같은 매질을 사용하는 예혼합 연소 버너의 특징을 실험하였다. 특히, 표면 매질의 비반응 유동 특성은 버너 표면 전체의 유동 속도를 측정하고 조정하였다. 연소 실험은 화염 사진과 화염 온도 측정에 의하여 수행되었다. CO와 NO는 다양한 과잉 공기비와 열량값에 대하여 버너 표면 매질, 연소실, 열교환기의 특성을 측정하고 평가하였다.

The coal gasification fuel is important to replace petroleum fuel. Also they have many benefits for reducing the air pollution. Measurements on the combustion characteristics of synthetic gas from coal gasification have been conducted as compared with LPG in constant volume combustion chamber. The fuel is low caloric synthetic gas containing carbon monoxide 30%, hydrogen 20%, carbon dioxide 5%, and nitrogen 45%. To elucidate the combustion characteristics of the coal gasification fuel, the combustion pressures, combustion durations, and pollutants(NOx, $CO_2$, CO) are measured with equivalence ratios($\phi$), and initial pressures of fuel-air mixture in constant volume chamber. In the case of the coal gasification fuel, maximum combustion pressure and NOx concentration are lower rather than LPG fuel. However CO and $CO_2$ emission concentration are similar to that of LPG fuel.

The biodiesel becomes one of the favorite alternative fuel applied to diesel engines. This research aims to understand the physics of spray and combustion characteristics of a biodiesel fuel in a constant volume chamber. For spray visualization, biodiesel was injected into a combustion chamber and a high speed camera was applied at various combustion conditions. To investigate heat-release rates and flame propagations, spark was ignited on a hydrogen fuel for the premixed combustion and then biodiesel was injected directly. In addition, parametric study was made by various geometries of combustion chambers and temperatures of fuels and injection pressures. This technology may contribute to improve the performance of bio-diesel engine and reduce emissions in future.

Measurements of NO and NOx emission of laminar partially premixed LPG/air flames with and without acoustic excitation are reported. The NOx emission at the tailpipe of a combustion chamber is determined by chemiluminescent analyser. The NOx measurements are taken in flames with several different center tube equivalance ratio( ø$\sub$o/), and overall equivalace ratio(ø$\sub$o/) for a fixed fuel flowrate. The NOx emission decrease to reach a minimum value at an optimum ø$\sub$c/ 2. Theø$\sub$c/ 2 flame gives a compromise of thermal NO and prompt NO mechanism. In the case of excitation. the visual shape of the flame is changed from laminar flame to turbulent-like flame. With increasing levels of excitation amplitude, an optimum value of the NO and NOx emission exists. A shorter flame caused by the enhanced upstream mixing due to acoustic excitation results in the reduction of NO and NOx emission in the present flames. The reduction of flame length affects the shorter residence time of center tube mixture, and significantly influences the NOx reduction.
