A direct-injection stratified-charge(DISC) engine has been considered as a promising alternative in spite of high unburned hydrocarbon emission levels during light load operation. In this paper investigation is made to characterize formation and combustion processes of stratified mixture charge in a simple constant volume combustion chamber. Both experimental and numerical analyses are performed for fluid and combustion characteristics with 3 different induction types for rich, homogeneous and lean mixture conditions. The commercial code FIRE is applied to the turbulent combustion process in terms of measured and calculated pressure traces and calculated distributions of mean temperature, OH radical and reaction rate. It turns out that the highest combustion rate occurs for the rich state condition at the spark ignition location due to existence of stoichiometric mixture and timing.

The combustion process was applied to synthesize the LiAlO2 powder with high specific surface area and pure crystalline ${\gamma}$-phase. For the combustion synthesis of LiAlO2 which is a binary-component oxide in-cluding lithium and aluminum ions the mixture of citric acid and urea with stoichiometric composition was selected as a promising fuel. The highest combustion temperature was measured in the reaction using the mixed fuel with a stoichiometric composition. The synthesized powder was very fine and its specific surface area was more than 15 m2/g.

Combustion Characteristics and quenching criteria of micro combustor in various condition was exploited experimentally. Two different gases were used, and various geometric matrixes were considered to figure out quenching characteristic of micro combustor. The micro combustor studied in this study was constant volume, and has cylindrical shape. Geometric parameter of combustor was defined to be combustor height and diameter. The effect of height was exploited parametrically as 1 mm, 2mm and 3mm and the effect of diameter was parameterized to be 7.5mm and 15mm. Three different combustibles. (1) Stoichiometric mixture of methane and are, (2) Stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and air and (3) Mixture of hydrogen and air with fuel stoichiometry of two were used. Pressure transition during combustion process was recovered. The ratio of maximum pressure to initial pressure responded favorably with the change of height of combustor and the initial pressure, the maximum pressure was also increased. The flame propagation was observed only when a specific condition was satisfied. From the experiment the condition that guarantees stable propagation of flame was tabulated. The tabulated results includes criteria of quenching according to combustor height, combustor diameter, species of fuel and initial pressure.

천연가스를 이용한 기존 엔진들은 효율이 우수한 희박연소를 구현하였지만 배기가스의 정화성능이 점차 강화되는 배기규제에 대응하기 위해, 이론공연비 연소 방식으로 관심이 옮겨지고 있다. 이론공연비 연소 방식은 유해 배출가스의 정화효율이 높은 삼원촉매를 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있지만, 높은 연소열 발생에 따른 열 내구성 문제와 연비가 해결과제로 남아 있다. 천연가스에 수소를 혼합한 수소-천연가스 혼합연료(HCNG))는 수소의 빠른 연소속도에 의한 영향으로 연소속도가 증가하고, 희박한계가 증가하여 배기가스재순환(Exhaust gas recirculation; EGR) 률의 공급을 증가할 수 있다. EGR률 상승은 연소온도를 낮추게 되어 엔진 열 내구성에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있고, 압축비를 더욱 증가 시킬 수 있어서 효율적인 연소조건을 형성하도록 도움을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 대형 가스엔진을 이용하여 개발한 이론공연비 연소 방식의 HCNG 엔진의 배출가스 저감을 최소화하기 위해, 삼원촉매를 개발 및 적용하여 배기가스 특성을 평가하고 분석하고자 하였다. 현재 상용화된 시내버스용 삼원촉매와 HCNG용으로 개발 중인 시제 삼원촉매를 각각 설치하여 정상상태 운전조건 및 과도운전조건에서 실험을 진행하고 모드실험 결과를 비교하였다.

Ultra lean combustion with stratified air-fuel mixture is one of the methods that can improve fuel economy of gasoline engines. The aim of this study is to show that how much fuel economy is improved and what are differences in engine control of the ultra lean combustion compared with stoichiometric combustion. In this study, the BMW N53 GDI engine, which is one of ultra lean combustion GDI engines introduced in the market recently, was tested at various engine operating conditions. Results indicated that fuel consumption rates were improved by 11.9~25.8% by the ultra lean combustion compared with stoichiometric combustion. It was also found that multiple fuel injection, multiple spark, early intake valve opening, and large vlave overlap duration were the features of the ultra lean combustion for combustion stability and emission improvement.

The propagation speed of tribrachial flame in laminar propane jets has been investigated experimentally under normal and micro gravity conditions. The displacement speed was found to vary nonlinearly with axial distance because flow velocity along stoichiometric contour was comparable to the propagation speed of tribrachial flame for the present experiment. Approximate solutions for velocity and concentration accounting density difference and virtual origins have been used in determining the propagation speeds of tribrachial flame. Under micro gravity condition, the results showed that propagation speed of tribrachial flame is largely affected by the mixture fraction gradients, in agreement with previous studies. The limiting maximum value. of propagation speeds under micro gravity conditions are in good agreement with the theoretical prediction, that is, the ratio of maximum propagation speed to the stoichiometric laminar burning velocity is proportional to the square root of the density ratio of unburned to burnt mixture.

Propagation characteristics of tribrachial flames have been studied numerically in a two-dimensional fuel/oxidizer mixing layer. A flame is initiated by imposing a high temperature ignition source. Subsequent propagation of a tribrachial flame is traced. The flow redirection effect at the leading edge of a tribrachial flame increases the propagation speed beyond the corresponding stoichiometric laminar burning velocity. The effect of mixture fraction gradient on the propagation speed of a tribrachial flame is analyzed in a mixing layer considering that mixture fraction gradient increases as a tribrachial flame propagates toward upstream. As the flame curvature at the leading edge increases with decreasing mixture fraction gradient, the flow redirection effect becomes more pronounced on the flame propagation speed. As a result, the propagation speed of a tribrachial flame increases with decreasing mixture fraction gradient.

A numerical study was conducted to investigate the combustion phenomena of regular start and unstart processes based on ISL#s RAMAC 30 experiments with different diluent amounts in a ram accelerator. The initial projectile launching speed was 1800m/s which corresponded to the superdetonative speed of the stoichiometric $H_2/O_2$ mixture diluted with $5CO_2\;or\;4CO_2$. In this study, it was found that neither shock nor viscous heating was sufficient to ignite the mixture at a low speed of 1800m/s, as was found in the experiments using a steel-covered projectile. However, we could succeed in igniting the mixtures by imposing a minimal amount of additional heat to the combustor section and simulate the regular start and unstart processes found in the experiments with an aluminum-covered projectile. The numerical results matched almost exactly to the experimental results. As a result, it was found that the regular start and unstart processes depended on the strength of gas mixture, development of shock-induced combustion wave stabilized by the first separation bubble, and its size and location.

The present study has numerically investigated the effects of fuel-side dilution and pressure on flame structure and extinction scalar dissipation rate of turbulent syngas nonpremixedd flames. Numerical results indicate that for highly diluted case, peak temperature is decreased and stoichiometric mixture fraction is increased. By decreasing the pressure and the nitrgen dilution levelcreased, the extinction scalar dissipation rate is increased.

The combination of physical models of an advanced engine control system was proposed to obtain sophisticated combustion control in ultra-lean combustion, including homogeneous compression-ignition and activated radical combustion with a light load and in stoichiometric mixture combustion with a full load. Physical models of intake, combustion and engine thermodynamics were incorporated, in which the effects of residual gas from prior cycles on intake air mass and combustion were taken into consideration. The combined control of compression ignition at a light load and sparit ignition at full load for a high compession ratio engine was investigated using simulations. The control strategies of the variable valve timing and the intake pressure were clarified to keep auto-ignition at a light load and prevent knock at a full load.
