An experimental study for reducing the exhaust hydrocarbon emission at spark ignition engine using timed secondary air injection is carried out . In this study, secondary air injection timings and durations are controlled to decrease the hydrocarbon emission and to increase exhaust gas temperature at cold and warm-up engine conditions. The hydrocarbon reduction rate and exhaust gas temperature are compared between timed secondary air injection and continuous air injection. The optimum secondary air injection timing for reducing the hydrocarbon emission is at the exhaust valve open timing. At some engine conditions , the hydrocarbon emissions are decreased to 10% of engine raw values and exhaust gas temperatures increase by 20$0^{\circ}C$ with times secondary air injection . Timed secondary air injection has more hydrocarbon reduction rate that continuous secondary air injection except some engine conditions.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the combustion emission characteristics by the effect of secondary air injection and variation of the excess air ratio in combustion field of model gas turbine combustor. For this purpose, mean temperature, CO, $CO_2$, $O_2$ and HC concentrations were measured by changing excess air ratio and secondary air injection. As a result of this study, mean temperature was decreased and CO, HC emission increased by increasing the excess air ratio of secondary air. Therefore, this results showed the secondary air injection effected strongly on the flame structure and combustion emission characteristics.

A three dimensional numerical analysis has been conducted for a stoker type incinerator which has the capacity of 1.5 ton/hr. The objective of the present study is to predict the effects of swirl induced by secondary air and to find an optimal operating condition of the incinerator. In this study, combustion characteristics such as distributions of temperature, velocity and concentration of each species have been examined with various injection types of secondary air and with different flow rates of secondary air in the incinerator. It is found that the secondary air injection on the combustion process makes the path of fluid particle longer in the combustor and enhances the mixing between air and combustion gas by arousing a swirl. Therefore, the injection type of secondary air can be an important key in the design process of incinerator.

The combustion characteristics of a low NOx burner using reburning technology have been experimentally studied. The return burner usually has three distinct reaction zones which include the primary combustion zone, the reburn zone and the burnout zone by provided secondary air. NOx is mainly produced in a primary combustion zone and a certain portion of NOx can be converted to nitrogen in the rebury zone. In the burnout zone, the unburned mixtures are completely oxidated by supplying secondary air. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) was used as main and reburn fuels. The experimental parameters investigated involve the main/reburn fuel ratio, the primary/secondary air ratio, and the injection location of rebury fuel and secondary air. When the amount of return fuel reaches to the 20-30% of the total fuel used, the overall NO reduction of 50% is achieved. The secondary air is injected by two different ways including vertical and parallel injection. The injector of secondary air is located at the downstream region of furnace for a vertical-injection mode, which is also placed at the inlet primary-air injection region for a parallel-injection mode. In case of the vertical injection of the secondary air flow, the NOx formation of stoichiometric condition at a primary combustion zone is nearly independent of the rebury conditions (locations, fuel/air ratios) while the NOx emission of the fuel-lean condition is considerably influenced by the reburn conditions. In case of the parallel injection of the secondary air, the NOx emission is sensitive to the air ratio rather than the fuel ratio and the reburning process often coupled with the multiple air-staging and fuel-staging combustion processes.

This research is aimed to find out how the inlet angle of secondary air affects the uniformity of temperature distribution inside a small incinerator. A commercial code, PHOENICS, is used to simulate the thermal-flow field of an incinerator. The computational grid system is constructed by Multi-Block technique provided by PHOENICS. Numerical experiments are done with the five different angles of secondary air inlet. The uniformity of temperature distribution is evaluated by checking the standard deviation of temperature distribution in an incinerator. The computational results show that there is the minimum value of standard deviation at the certain angle of secondary air inlet, which means that there is an optimum angle of secondary air inlet that could improve the uniformity of temperature distribution in an incinerator. The optimum angle of secondary air inlet is between 30 degree and 45 degree in this particular case.

일반적으로 연소로는 연료의 연소과정에서 NOx, CO등의 공해물질을 배출한다. 본 연구는 소각연소로를 대상으로 2차 공기를 연소가스 흐름의 역방향으로 주입시키는 방법의 NOx 및 CO 배출특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구의 주요변수는 1, 2차 공기의 유량비와 2차 공기의 투입 방향으로 설정하였다. 변수에 따른 NOx 및 CO 배출특성을 묘사하기 위해서 축소모형실험 연구를 수행하였다. 실험결과 1차 공기유량이 감소하고 2차 공기유량이 증가할수록 NOx가 감소되다가 일정 유량비 이상에서 다시 NOx가 다소 증가하는 형태가 나타났다. 역방향으로 빠른 유속의 2차 공기가 투입될 때 연소로 내부에 유동 재순환이 발생하여 혼합이 증가하고 이로 인해서 온도 영역이 고르게 분포되는 것으로 나타났으며 그 결과로서 thermal NOx의 저감 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. CO는 2차 공기가 역방향에서 높은 비율로 투입되는 조건이외에서는 측정되지 않았다. 측정된 경우도 CO의 농도는 2 ppm 이내로 안정적인 연소 조건으로 나타났다.

This analysis is aimed to find out how the conditions of secondary air injection affects the residence time and the turbulence energy of flue gas and flow field in a small incinerator. A commercial code, PHOENICS, is used to simulate the flow field of an Incinerator. The computational grid system is constructed in a cartesian coordinate system In this numerical experiment, an independent numerical variable is the conditions of secondary air injection and dependants are the residence time of flue gas and the mean value of turbulence energy in a primary combustion chamber. The flow field and the distribution of turbulence energy are analysed to evaluate the residence time of flue gas and the turbulence energy The computational results say that the tangential injection of secondary air make the residence time much longer than the radial injection and that the radial injection of secondary make turbulence much stronger than the tangential injection.

The secondary air injection influences the flow of the combustion gas in the furnace. Therefore, the analysis of the furnace should be careful in the selection of the turbulent model with CFD. In this study, CFD results of several turbulent models were compared with experimental results. Analysis results suggest to select turbulent models in the furnace secondary air nozzle.

Combustion experiments are carried out to obtain the fundamental data for application of a internally circulating fluidized bed combustor to the combustion of paper sludge wastes. Experimental parameters are identified as secondary air ratio, sludge weight and water contents. The secondary air ratio was varied from 0 to 20% and water content was 14%, 25%, 35%, 45%, 62% and sludge weight was 30g, 60g, 90g. As a result, carbon conversion ratio was higher than injection of primary air. Emission of CO and NOx reduced with an increase of secondary air injection.
