Two-dimensional blow-down type supersonic wind tunnel was designed and built to investigate the transient behavior of the startup of a supersonic flow from rest. The contour of the divergent part of the nozzle was determined by the MOC calculation. The converging part of the nozzle, upstream of fille throat was contoured to make the flow uniform at the throat. The flow characteristics of the steady supersonic condition were visualized using the high-speed schlieren photography. The Mach number was evaluated from the oblique shock wave angle on a sharp wedge with halt angle of 5 degree. The measured Mach number was 2.4 and was slightly less than the value predicted by the design calculation. The initial transient behavior of the nozzle was recorded by a high-speed digital video camera with schlieren technique. The measured transition time from standstill to a steady supersonic flow was estimated by analyzing the serial images. Typical transition time was approximately 0.1sec.

정상초음파장의 주파수 변이가 프로판/공기 예혼합화염의 전파거동 및 구조변이에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위해 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 다양한 당량비 조건에서 슐리렌 기법을 적용한 전파화염 가시화와 연소실 내부압력 측정을 통해 생성물 영역에서의 화염 구조변화 및 전파특성을 관찰하였다. 정상초음파가 존재할 경우 화염선단이 찌그러지고 기연부에서 횡방향 줄무늬가 생성되며, 이러한 구조변이는 정상초음파의 주파수에 종속한다. 또, 전파속도는 정상초음파가 교반하는 경우 증가되며, 화염전파 거동에 미치는 초음파의 영향은 주파수의 증가에 따라 보다 명확해진다는 사실도 확인되었다.

국소적 정상초음파장의 교란이 관내 메탄/공기 예혼합화염의 전파속도 및 화염구조에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 슐리렌가시화기법을 이용하여 정상초음파 유무에 따른 화염선단 발달과정의 변이를 상세히 관찰하였다. 정상초음파가 개재할 때, 기연부에서 가로방향의 줄무늬가 생성되었고, 연소반응의 촉진으로 화염의 속도는 증가하였으며, 화염의 발달과정이 부력의 영향으로부터 자유로워져 화염선단의 상하 대칭성을 유지하려는 경향을 보인다.

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.

It is well known that the stratified charge combustion has many kind of advantages to combustion characteristics, such as higher thermal efficiency and less CO, NOx levels than conventional homogeneous mixture combustion. Although this combustion can be caused low fuel consumption, it is produced the high unburned hydrocarbon and soot levels because of different equivalence ratio in the combustion chamber. Moreover it has a lot of possibility of low output and misfire if the mixture gas would not be in existence around the spark plug. In this paper, fundamental studies for stratified combustion were carried out using a constant volume combustion chamber. The effect of locally mixture gas distribution according to control the direct injection and premixed injection in the chamber were examined experimentally. In addition, the effects of turbulence on stratified charge combustion process were observed by schlieren photography.

Propane-Air premixed combustible gas was ignited by the conventional current break system inside the open combustion chamber under the atmospheric pressure and the room temperature to measure the flame propagating speed and the burning speed, also to elucidate the history of the propagating flame behavior and wall effects to flame shape by using Ion Gap Method and High Speed Schlieren Photography. The results obtained show that the maximum flame propagating speed and maximum burning speed are approximately 292 cm/sec and 36 cm/sec at the mixture ratio 4.6%, respectively. The cellular flame structures can be observable in the rich mixture region, moreover, the cellular structures become finer, with increasing the mixture strength.

The effects of ignition position on combustion in a chamber with swirl flow were investigated by use of hot wire anemometer, high speed schlieren photography, and chamber pressure measurement. In experiments, the closed-constant volume combustion chamber was used, and the swirl was formed unsteadily by suction of external fluid after reducing pressure in the chamber. Results show that the effect of ignition position on combustion depends on the flow state and the flame propagation distance corresponding to each ignition position. Also, the effect of combustion promoting increases as an ignition position moves from the center of chamber to the outside, but maximum burning pressure was obtained at the position that is the shortest flame propagation distance.

The direct-injection stratified-charge engine has the advantages of higher thermal efficiency and less CO and $NO_x$ emission levels than conventional spark ignition engines. However, its actual utilization is prevented by high unburned hydrocarbon emission levels during light-load operations. In this paper, fundamental studies were carried out using a pancake type constant volume bomb. The effects of intensification of local premixing by tangential and radial fuel injection were examined experimentally. Unburned hydrocarbon emission levels with radial fuel injection were shown to be lower than those of tangential fuel injection cases. The stratification and mixing process of fuel jet and combustion process were observed by schlieren photography.

This work was performed to investigate the distribution of the fuel droplet size around the bluff-body and the combustion characteristics. The geometry of the bluff-body influenced the spray shape and the combustion characteristics. Diameters of the bluff-body in this experiment are 6, 8, and 10 mm and the impingement $angles({\theta})\;are\;30^{\circ},\;60^{\circ},\;and\;90^{\circ}$. The measurement points were at the distances of 20 and 30 mm axially from the nozzle. The SMD and Rosin-Rammler distribution was acquired by image processing technique (PMAS), and the mean temperatures were measured by thermocouple. The results obtained are as follows; In the condition of ${\theta}=60^{\circ}$, the values of SMD are not greatly varied compared to the other conditions. As the impingement angle of bluff-body was increased, the high temperature region was wider along radial direction. When the air-fuel ratio was increased, the CO concentration was decreased.

This study was carried out to investigate the injection characteristics of 800 kPa compressed natural gas compressed natural gas (CNG) injector developed in Korea. The CNG injector with multi-holes, employed in this experiment, was designed to inject CNG in the manifold at high pressure of 800 kPa. The spray macroscopic visualization test was carried out via Schlieren photography to study fuel-air mixing process. The fundamental spray characteristics, such as spray penetration, spray cone angle and spray velocity, were evaluated in the constant volume combustion chamber (CVCC) with varying the constant back pressure in CVCC from 0 to 1.8 bar. For the safety reason, nitrogen ($N_2$) and an acetone tracer were utilized as a surrogate gas fuel instead of CNG. The surrogate gas fuel pressures were controlled at 3, 5.5, and 8 bar, respectively. Injection durations were set at 5 ms throughout the experiment. The simulating events of the low engine speed were arranged at 1,000 rpm. The spray images were recorded by using a high-speed camera with a frame rate of 10,000 f/s at $512{\times}256pixels$. The spray characteristics were analyzed by using the image processing (Matlab). The results showed the significant difference that higher injection pressure had more effect on the spray shape than the lower injection pressure. When the injection pressure was increased, the longer spray penetration occurred. Moreover, the linear relation between speed and time are dependent on the injection pressure as well.
