Flue gas recirculation (FGR) is a method used to control oxides of nitrogen ($NO_x$) in combustion system. The recirculated flue gases resulted in slow reaction and low flame temperatures, which in turn resulted in decreased thermal NO production. Recently, it has been demonstrated that introducing the recirculated flue gas in the fuel stream, that is, the fuel induced recirculation (FIR), resulted in a much greater reduction in $NO_x$ per unit mass of recirculated gas, as compared to introducing the flue gases in air. In the present study, the effect on $NO_x$ reduction in turbulent swirl flame in laboratory scale using FGR/FIR methods through the dilution using $N_2$ and $CO_2$. Results. show the $CO_2$ dilution is more effective $NO_x$ reduction methods because of large temperature drop due to the larger specific heat $CO_2$ compared to $N_2$. FIR is more effective to reduce $NO_x$ emission than FGR when the same recirculation ratio of dilution gas.

Reburning is a useful technology in reducing nitric oxide through injection of a secondary hydrocarbon fuel. In this paper, an experimental study has been conducted to evaluate the effect of fuel lean reburning on $NO_X/CO$ reduction in LPG flame. Experiments were performed in flames stabilized by a co-flow swirl burner, which was mounted at the bottom of the furnace. Tests were conducted using LPG gas as the reburn fuel as well as the main fuel. The effects of reburn fuel fraction and injection location of the reburn fuel were studied when the fuel lean reburning system was applied. The paper reports data on flue gas emissions and temperature distribution in the furnace for a wide range of experimental conditions. At steady state, temperature distribution and emission formation in the furnace have been measured and compared. This paper makes clear that in order to decrease both NOx and CO concentrations in the exhaust when the fuel lean reburning system was adapted, it is important that the control of some factors such as initial equivalence ratio, reburn fuel fraction and temperature of reburn fuel injection region. Also it shows the fuel lean reburning is also effective method to reduce NOx as much as reburning.

Analysis and control of intake charge motion such as swirl and tumble are very important factors in improving the gasoline engine performance. In this paper, single-frame PTV (particle tracking velocimetry) is used to investigate intake tumble patterns in a steady flow test rig of gasoline engine with dual-intake-valve and pent-roof combustion chamber. Intake tumble pattern is quantified in accordance with blockage ratio of TIV (tumble intensifying valve) with single- frame PTv.The view of the instantaneous 2-D velocity field gives a realistic understanding of in-cylinder flow field. Thus it is confirmed that PTV is a effective tool in engine design. In conventional port, two tumble structures appear clearly, and the larger one is observed under the exhaust valve side and the smaller is right below the intake valve side. The larger vorticity is observed in TIV port, thus it is concluded that TIV have an effect on intensified tumble motion in cylinder flow.

This study proposes a procedure for designing a labyrinth seal that meets both leakage flow rate and rotordynamic performance criteria (effective damping, amplification factor, separation margin, logarithmic decrement, and vibration amplitude). The seal is modeled using a one control volume (1CV) bulk flow approach to predict the leakage flow rate and rotordynamic coefficients. The rotating shaft is modeled with the finite element (FE) method and is assumed to be supported by two linearized bearings. Geometry, material and operating conditions of the rotating shaft, and the supporting characteristics of the bearings were fixed. A single labyrinth seal is placed at the center of the rotor, and the linearized dynamic coefficients predicted by the seal numerical model are inserted as linear springs and dampers at the seal position. Seal designs that satisfy both leakage and rotordynamic performance are searched by modifying five seal design parameters using the multi-grid method. The five design parameters include pre-swirl ratio, number of teeth, tooth pitch, tooth height and tooth tip width. In total, 12500 seal models are examined and the optimal seal design is selected. Finally, normalization was performed to select the optimal labyrinth seal designs that satisfy the system performance requirements.

A study was conducted on a tubular heat exchanger to improve its heat transfer rate by using a novel baffle plate design with discontinuous swirling patterns. The design consisted of perforated baffle plates with rectangular air deflectors positioned at varying angles. The tubes in the heat exchanger were arranged in a consistent alignment with the airflow direction and exposed to a uniform heat flux on their surfaces. Each baffle plate included sixteen deflectors inclined at the same angle and arranged in a clockwise pattern. This arrangement induced a swirling motion of the air inside a circular duct where the heated tubes were located, leading to increased turbulence and improved heat transfer on the tube surfaces. The spacing between the baffle plates was adjusted at different pitch ratios, and the Reynolds number was controlled within a range of 16,000 to 29,000. The effects of pitch ratios and inclination angles on the heat exchanger's performance were analyzed. The results indicated that using a baffle plate with rectangular deflectors inclined at 30° and a pitch ratio of 1.2 resulted in an average increase of 1.29 in the thermal enhancement factor.

본 연구는 희박 예혼합 연소기에서 연소실과 연료-공기 혼합부의 공진모드의 관계가 연소불안정에 어떤 영향을 미치고 있는지에 대하여 실험적으로 확인한 연구이다. 다체널 동압측정을 통하여 각각 위치에서 동압의 모드와 각 센서들간의 phase를 분석하여 연소불안정의 원인을 규명할 수 있었다. 연소실의 길이와 혼합부의 길이를 음향학적 경계로 일치시켜 연소불안정 특성을 확인해 보았을 때 두가지 서로 다른 연소불안정 모드를 확인할 수 있었는데 저주파 연소불안정 특성은 화염의 열방출 섭동과 연소실의 공진모드에 기인하며, 고주파 영역대의 연소불안정 현상은 혼합부의 길이를 변경하였을 때 발생하는 또 다른 불안정 현상임을 실험적으로 확인할 수 있었다.

The effects of intake mixture temperature on performance and exhaust emissions under four kinds of engine loads were experimentally investigated by using a four-cycle. four-cylinder. swirl chamber type. water-cooled diesel engine with scrubber EGR system operating at three kinds of engine speeds. The purpose of this study is to develop the scrubber exhaust gas Recirculation (EGR) control system for reducing $\textrm{NO}_{x}$ and soot emissions simultaneously in diesel engines. The EGR system is used to reduce $\textrm{NO}_{x}$ emissions. And a novel diesel soot-removal device of cylinder-type scrubber with five water injection nozzles is specially designed and manufactured to reduce soot contents in the recirculated exhaust gas to the intake system of the engine. The influences of cooled EGR and water injection. however. would be included within those of scrubber EGR system. In order to survey the effects of cooled EGR and moisture on $\textrm{NO}_{x}$ and soot emissions. the intake mixtures of fresh air and recirculated exhaust gas are heated up using a heater with five heating coils equipped in a steel drum. It is found that intake and exhaust oxygen concentrations are decreased, especially at higher loads. as EGR rate and intake mixture temperature are increased at the same conditions of engine speed and load. and that $\textrm{NO}_{x}$ emissions are decreased. while soot emissions are increased owing to the decrease in intake and exhaust oxygen concentrations and the increase in equivalence ratio. Thus ond can conclude that $\textrm{NO}_{x}$ and soot emissions are considerably influenced by the cooled EGR.

흡수정은 댐이나 저수지에 저장된 물을 흡입하여 사용하는 설비이다. 흡입한 다량의 물은 화력 및 원자력 등의 대형 발전소의 냉각시스템에 사용된다. 특징으로 흡입 유량과 흡수정의 비가 작으면 흡입구 주변에서 유속이 증가한다. 이로 인해 와류나 선회류의 불균형 유동이 발생된다. 불균형 유동은 흡수정의 성능을 저하나 고장의 원인이 된다. 해결하기 위한 다양한 방법이 고안되고 있으나 최저수위 일 경우 정확한 해결 방법을 찾지 못하고 있다. 가장 효율적인 해결방법으로는 AVD를 설치하거나 관로를 길게하는 방법이 있다. 이렇게 설치된 구조물이 유동의 흐름을 균일하게 만들어 주기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 관로의 길이와 AVD의 형태 변화에 따른 흡수정 내의 유동특성을 수치해석으로 분석한다. 수치해석을 위하여 수정의 흡입부, 섬프, 펌프의 3단계로 분리하여 모델링하였다. 격자는 해석의 정확도를 위해 흡입부는 비조밀, 흡수정과 AVD는 조밀하게 하였다. ANSYS ICEM-CFD 14.5를 이용하여 120~150만개의 격자를 생성하였고 Tetra grid와 Prism grid를 혼용하였다. 해석을 위해 상용 CFD 프로그램인 ANSYS CFX14.5의 SST 난류모델을 선정하였다. 조건으로 H.W.L 6.0m, L.W.L 3.5, Qmax 4.000 kg/s, Qavg 3.500 kg/s Qmin 2.500 kg/s로 설정하였다. 보텍스 각도와 속도분포로 해석한 결과는 다음과 같다. Ext E-type의 AVD를 설치한 흡수정이 최고수위 일때 합격하였다. 추후, Ext E-type을 기본으로 하여 최저수위일 때 만족하는 연구가 필요하다.
