An experimental study for the two types of burners used in the non-oxidizing direct fired furnaces of the heat treatment process for the cold rolled plate has been carried out to investigate the combustion characteristics and the oxidization of the surface of steel plate. A steep temperature gradient and entrainment of residual oxygen were found near the heating surface in the flame of the nozzle mixing burner which has strong swirl velocity component. It was concluded that the elimination of the residual oxygen and the increase of the temperature of combustion gas on the heating surface are needed to enhance the performance of the burners for application to the non-oxidizing direct fired furnaces.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate behavior of steel surface oxidation with characteristics of the combustion. The excess entalphy combustion in porous media system was applied to implement the direct radiation heating system. The surface oxidation thickness (SOT) of fuel-lean was thicker than the SOT of fuel-rich. Also, the SOT was increased by increasing residence time. Detailed explanations were given by SEM and EDS analysis.

The aim of this study is to investigate advantages that the catalytically supported combustor can have. For this purpose, the catalytic combustor was prepared which consisted of the catalyst bed and the thermal combustor at the downstream of the catalyst bed. The catalyst bed consisted of two-stage. Pd catalyst was installed in the first stage of the catalyst bed, and Pt catalyst was placed in the second stage. Results showed that the catalytically supported combustion had some advantages. One was that auto-ignition occurred in the thermal combustor. This can give merit that an igniter is not necessary to start flame ignition. Other was that the catalytically supported combustion was stable for lean mixture. When combustion of lean mixture was not supported by surface reaction it became unstable so that big combustion noise was created. Therefore, it is desirable to support flame by catalytic surface reaction to obtain the stable combustion of lean mixture.

In this paper, the effects of the spontaneous combustion inhibitor on the surface of the coal stockpile in the coal yard was investigated by numerical analysis. First, the numerical analysis method of the present study was compared with the results of the previous study by analyzing the case in which the spontaneous combustion inhibitor was not applied, while the effects of spraying the spontaneous combustion inhibitor for the prevention of spontaneous combustion onto various areas and positions was also analyzed. As a result, the larger the application area of the spontaneous combustion inhibitor, then the more effective it is for preventing spontaneous combustion as it blocks the oxygen inflow into the coal stockpile, while, when spraying the spontaneous combustion inhibitor from the bottom of the coal stockpile, then the greater the effect it has on the prevention of spontaneous combustion. In conclusion, it was most effective to spray the spontaneous combustion inhibitor from the bottom of the coal stockpile up to about 30% of the height of the coal stockpile, when considering the economic aspect.

The surface flames in porous ceramic burner are experimentally characterized to investigate the effects of equivalence ratio and firing rates. The results show that the surface flames are classified into green, red radiant and blue surface flame as decrease of equivalence ratio. And each flame is maintained very stably and shows the same flame characteristics at any orientation of ceramic burner. Particularly the blue surface flame was found to be very stable at very lean equivalence ratio at 200 to $800\;kw/m^2$ firing rates. And the exhausted NOx was analysed to find out which flame has lower NOx emission. The blue surface flame showed the lowest NOx emission regardless of the location of burner since it sustained very stable at lean mixture ratio.

In this work, an one-dimensional analysis on spontaneous combustion in a coal stockpile was conducted using a commercial software $gPROMS^{(R)}$ based on assumption suggested by Arioy and Akgun. According to them, it is assumed that there is temperature difference between the surface of coal particle and the gas surrounded around the particle, and it is also assumed that the velocity of the gas is constant and thus oxygen is fed to the stockpile with same velocity. The higher temperature zone is formed to the surface of the coal stockpile at the initial phase and it became deepen as time is taken. Finally it was found that the temperature difference between coal particle and the gas was calculated as $57^{\circ}C$ and spontaneous combustion have not been occurred during 6 months since coal was piled in the stock.

Incomplete combustion due to quenching in a narrow confinement has been a major problem for realization of a reliable micro combustion device. In most micro combustors, effects of flows are absent in the quenching because the flow is laminar and no severe stretch is present. In such circumstance, quenching is caused either by heat loss or by removal of active radicals to the wall surface of the confinement. An experimental investigation was carried out to investigate the relative significance of these two causes of quenching of a premixed flame. A premixed jet burner with a rectangular cross section at the exit was built. At the burner exit, the flame stands between two walls with adjustable distance. The gap between the two walls at which quenching occurs was measured at different wall surface conditions. The results were analyzed to estimate the relative significance of heat loss to the wall and the removal of radicals at the surface. The measurements indicated that the quenching distance was independent of the wall surface characteristics such as oxygen vacancy, grain boundary, or impurities at low temperature. At high temperature, however, the surface characteristics strongly affect the quenching distance, implying that radical removal at the wall plays a significant role in the quenching process.

A numerical analysis of the mathematical model for fluidized bed coal combustion has been performed. Based on the physical nature of the specific surface variation due to the decreasing of coal particle diameter according to the combustion process, the modified model which has been added the specific surface variation to the S.ENDRENYI and B.PALANCZ's mathematical model was established in this study. From the numerical analysis of these two models, it was found that the perfect combustion time is increasing largely at least 5 seconds in the modified model in comparison with that of the S.ENDRENYI and B.PALANCZ's model, and the bed temperature and the coal particle surface temperature during the main combustion period represent constant with time in the S.ENDRENYI and B.PALANCZ's model, on the other hand, these properties are decreasing linearly with time in the modified model.

The characteristics of carbonaceous particles collected from the combustion of Vacuum Residue (VR) in a test furnace have been investigated. The physical and chemical characterization includes particle size, scanning electron microscopy of the surface structure, measurement of porosity, surface area and density, EDX/XRD analyses and measurement of chemical composition. The studies show that the carbonaceous VR particles are very porous and spheroidal, and have many blow-holes on the surface. The particles become smaller and more sponge-like as the reaction proceeds. The present porosity of VR particles is similar to that of cenospheres from the combustion of heavy oil, and the majority of pores are distributed in macro-pores above $0.03\;{\mu}m$ in diameter. Measurements of pore distribution and surface area showed that the macro-pores contributed most to total pore volume, whereas the micro-pores contributed to total surface area.

In this study, the generation of oxygen-free gas using catalytic combustion for industrial applications is explained ; heat treatment and copper annealing. For the experiment, Pd catalysts were determined by testing their catalytic activities over LPG in a micro-reactor. Combustion characteristics for the generation of oxygen-free atmospheric gas and the effect of flue gas upon surface oxidation were estimated form this experiment. As a result of the experimental investigation, we can state that the catalytic combustion could generate oxygen-free atmospheric gas suitable for industrial applications, but vapor produced by combustion process must be carefully considered as a new factor of surface oxidation.
