Structure of edge flame established in a mixing layer, formed between two uniformly flowing pure $CH_4$ and pure $O_2$ streams, is numerically investigated by employing a detailed methane-oxidation mechanism. The numerical results exhibited the most outstanding distinction of using pure oxygen in the fuel-rich premixed-flame front, through which the carbon-containing compound is found to leak mainly in the form of CO instead of HC compounds, contrary to the rich $CH_4-air$ premixed flames in which $CH_4$ as well as $C_2H_m$ leakage can occur. Moreover, while passing through the rich premixed flame, a major route for CO production, in addition to the direct $CH_4$ decomposition, is found to be $C_2H_m$ compound formation followed by their decomposition into CO. Beyond the rich premixed flame front, CO is further oxidized into $CO_2$ in a broad diffusion-flame-like reaction zone located around moderately fuel-rich side of the stoichiometric mixture by the OH radical from the fuel-lean premixed-flame front. Since the secondary CO production through $C_2H_m$ decomposition has a relatively strong reaction intensity, an additional heat-release branch appears and the resulting heat-release profile can no longer be seen as a tribrachial structure.

매연과 다중고리 방향족 탄화수소의 생성에 대하여 n-헵탄의 혼합의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 순수에틸렌 대향류 확산화염에 n-헵탄을 소량 혼합하여 실험을 수행하였다. 매연체적분율과 PAH의 생성 계측에서는 레이저 유도 형광법 (laser-induced fluorescence; LIF)과 레이저 유도 백열법(laser-induced incandescence; LII)의 레이저 계측법을 이용하였다. 실험결과로 순수 에틸렌 화염에 소량의 n-헵탄을 혼합한 경우에는 매연과 다중고리 방향족 탄화수소가 상승하였다. 그러나 20% n-헵탄 혼합화염의 경우 LIF 신호가 감소하였다. 소량의 혼합화염의 경우, 다중고리 방향족 탄화수소와 매연의 상승은 n-헵탄 혼합에 의해 저온 영역에서의 메틸 라디칼의 증가로 의한다고 사료된다. 10% n-헵탄 혼합화염에 대한 화학반응 프로세스를 살펴본 결과 H 라디칼에 의한 반응율이 벤젠 생성에 결정적인 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Hydrogen-blending effects in flame structure and NO emission behavior are numerically studied with detailed chemistry in methane-air counterflow diffusion flames. The composition of fuel is systematically changed from pure methane to the blending fuel of methane-hydrogen through $H_2$ molar addition up to 30%. Flame structure, which can be described representatively as a fuel consumption layer and a $H_2$-CO consumption layer, is shown to be changed considerably in hydrogen-blending methane flames, compared to pure methane flames. The differences are displayed through maximum flame temperature, the overlap of fuel and oxygen, and the behaviors of the production rates of major species. Hydrogen-blending into hydrocarbon fuel can be a promising technology to reduce both the CO and $CO_2$ emissions supposing that NOx emission should be reduced through some technologies in industrial burners. These drastic changes of flame structure affect NO emission behavior considerably. The changes of thermal NO and prompt NO are also provided according to hydrogen-blending. Importantly contributing reaction steps to prompt NO are addressed in pure methane and hydrogen-blending methane flames.

매연 생성에 대하여 톨루엔의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 순수에틸렌 대향류 확산화염에 톨루엔을 소량 혼합하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 톨루엔($C_7H_8$)의 혼합 비율은 3%, 5%, 10%, 및 20%로 하였다. 계산에는 CHEMKIN III 기반의 Senkin 코드와 oppdif 코드를 이용하여 0-D 계산과 1-D 계산을 수행하였다. 0-D의 Senkin 계산에서는 톨루엔의 혼합율이 증가할수록 메틸라디칼의 농도는 증가하고 이에 따른 벤젠의 농도도 증가하였다. 이는 순수 에틸렌 화염에 톨루엔을 혼합할 경우 더 많은 매연이 생성될 것이라는 걸 의미한다. oppdif 코드에 의한 1-D 계산에서는 10% 톨루엔 반응식으로부터는 H 라디칼의 생성율이 결정적인 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 위 결과들로부터 확산화염 내 매연 생성에 있어 메틸라디칼, 벤젠과 H 라디칼이 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

가솔린 화재의 소화과정을 규명하기 위하여 부력과 순수확산에 의해서만 연료와 산화제가 혼합되는 순수확산화염을 대항으로 수분무에 의한 소화실험을 체계적으로 수행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) 수분무는 특정 조건에서 수분무가 없을 때인 자연연소상태에 비하여 더 높은 값의 연소율을 가지게 되어, 오히려 화재의 연소를 촉진하게 된다. 2) 수분무시 연소율은 자연연소상태보다 더 높은 값으로 증가하다가 어느 순간 연료표면의 냉각조건이 충분히 이루어지면 소화기 일어나게 된다. 30 수분무에 의해 유입되는 공기는 분무 자체와 함쎄 화염을 반경방향으로 흐트러지게 함으로써 연료와 공기와의 접촉면적을 증대시켜 연소를 촉진하는 반면, 분무수가 연료 표면에 쉽게 도달할 수 있도록하여 연료표면을 보다 잘 냉각시키게 된다. 즉 주위공기의 유입은 연소율의 증가 및 감소에 영향을 미친다. 4) 본 실험조건에서는 분무수의 입경이 약 40.mu.m 이하인 액적들은 화염구역내에서 증발하거나 그 경로가 바뀌어 연료 표면에 도달되지 못함을 발견하였다. 5) 본 연구와 같이 주로 냉각작용에 의하여 화염이 소화되는 경우에는, 화염자체의 냉각효과 보다는 연료표면의 냉각에 의한 효과가 지배적임을 알 수 있었다.

The relationship among the flame radiation, NOx emissions, residence time, and global strain rate are examined for turbulent non-premixed jet flames with wide variations in coaxial air conditions. Measurements of NOx emission, flame geometry and flame radiation were made to explain the NOx emission scaling based on global parameters such as flame residence time, global strain rate, and radiant fraction. The overall 1/2-power scaling is observed in coaxial air flames, irrespective of coaxial air conditions, but the degree of deviation from the 1/2-slope curve in each case differs from one another. From the comparison between the results of pure hydrogen flames and those of helium diluted hydrogen flames, it is observed that flame radiation plays a significant role in pure hydrogen flames with coaxial air and the deviation from 1/2-power scaling may be explained in two reasons: the difference in the flame radiation and the difference in jet similarity in coaxial air flames. From the radiation measurements, more detailed explanations on these deviations were suggested.

Experimental study was conducted to elucidate flame extinction phenomena in counterflow flame. Using a curtain helium flow significantly reduced buoyancy such that the flame can be positioned at the center between the upper and lower nozzles even at the velocity ratio of 1.0. The curves of critical diluent mole fraction versus global strain rate have C-shapes. The flame oscillation was observed prior to low strain rate flame extinction at both flame conditions with and without minimizing buoyancy force. The results show that, at low strain rate flame, the self-excitation frequency with the order of 1.0 Hz in the case of utilizing pure helium gradually decreases in increase of $N_2$ mole fraction in the curtain flow, meaning that buoyancy suppresses the self-excitation of the outer edge flame.

Numerical simulation of $CO_2$ addition effects to fuel and oxidizer streams on flame structure has been conducted with detailed chemistry in H$_2$-O$_2$ diffusion flames of a counterflow configuration. An artificial species, which displaces added $CO_2$ in the fuel- and oxidizer-sides and has the same thermochemical, transport, and radiation properties to that of added $CO_2$, is introduced to extract pure chemical effects in flame structure. Chemical effects due to thermal dissociation of added $CO_2$ causes the reduction flame temperature in addition to some thermal effects. The reason why flame temperature due to chemical effects is larger in cases of $CO_2$ addition to oxidizer stream is well explained though a defined characteristic strain rate. The produced CO is responsible for the reaction, $CO_2$＋H=CO＋OH and takes its origin from chemical effects due to thermal dissociation. It is also found that the behavior of produced CO mole fraction is closely related to added $CO_2$ mole fraction, maximum H mole fraction and its position, and maximum flame temperature and its position.
