Concerns for energy conservation, environmental pollution, and the fact that organic wastes account for a major portion of our waste materials, have created the interest of biogas, which usually contains about 60 to 70 percent methane, 30 to 40 percent carbon dioxide, and other gases, including ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans and other noxious gases. Cyclone combustors are used for homing a wide range of fuels such as low calorific value gas, waste water, sludge. coal, etc. The 3-dimensional swirling flow, combustion and emission in a tangential inlet cyclone incinerator under different inlet conditions are simulated using a standard k-s turbulence model and ESCRS (Extended Simple Chemically-Reacting System) model. The commercial code Phoenics Ver.3.4 was used for the present work. The main parameters considered in this work are inlet velocity and air to fuel ratio. The results showed that the change of operating conditions had an influence on the shape and size of recirculation zones, mixture fraction and axial velocity which are important factors for combustion efficiency and emission behavior. The application of this kind of computer program seams to be promising as a potential tool for the optimum design of a cyclone combustor with low emission.

It is very difficult to understand and estimate the heat transfer and flow characteristics in the combustor, which is one of main components in the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), because its flow filed has very complex structure. In this paper, specified is characteristics of injection and flow through different air goles in the liner, which consist of large circular holes film cooling holes, and tangential air swirl holes. The durability of the liner depends on whether the surface of the liner is exposed to the hot gas over 1000 $^{\circ}C$ of a temperature or net. It is proved that the locations of hot spots estimated from the calculation using CFD are matched well with that from the test. In this study, CFD simulations were performed to examine the heat transfer and temperature distributions in and about a liner wall with film cooling on the wall. This computational study is based on the ensemble average continuity, compressible Navier-Stokes, energy, and PDF combustion equations closed by the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model with standard wall functions for the gas phase and the Fourier equations for conduction in the solid phase.

Spiral jet is characterized by a wide region of the free vortex flow with a steep axial velocity gradient, while swirl jet is largely governed by the forced vortex flow and has a very low axial velocity at the jet axis. However, detailed generation mechanism of spiral flow components is not well understood, although the spiral jet is extensively applied in a variety of industrial field. In general, it is known that spiral jet is generated by the radial flow injection through an annular slit which is installed at the inlet of convergent nozzle. The objective of the present study is to understand the flow characteristics of the spiral jet, using a computational method. A finite volume scheme is used to solve 3-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model. The computational results are validated by the previous experimental data. It is found that the spiral jet is generated by coanda effect at the inlet of the convergent nozzle and its fundamental features are dependent the pressure ratio of the radial flow through the annular slit and the coanda wall curvature.

Development of a small gas-turbine combustor for 100㎾ class APU(Auxiliary Power Unit) has been performed. This combustor is a reverse-annular type and has a tangential swiller in the liner head to improve the fuel/air mixing and flame stability. Three main and three pilot fuel injectors of the simplex pressure-swirl type are used. The performance target at the design condition includes a turbine inlet temperature of l170k, a combustion efficiency of 99%, a pattern factor of 30%, and an engine durability of 3000 hours. Under developing the combustor, we conducted the performance test of our first prototype(TS1) with some variants. As a result of the test, the performance targets of the combustor are satisfied except that the pattern factor is about 4% higher than the target value. Therefore, the second prototype(TS2) was redesigned and the performance test was conducted with the critical focus on the pattern factor and the exit mean temperature. We adopted TS2 four variants to check the improvement of the pattern factor. As a result, the pattern factors of several variants were satisfied with the performance target. Finally, the TS2A variant was chosen as a final combustor fur our APU model.

The effect of the inlet swirling flow in a hydraulic turbine draft tube is a very complex phenomenon, which has been extensively investigated both theoretically and experimentally. In fact, the finding of the optimal flow distribution at the draft tube inlet in order to get the best performance has remained a challenge. Thus, attempting to answer this question, it was assumed that through an automatic optimization process a Genetic Algorithm would be able to manage a parameterized inlet velocity profile in order to achieve the best flow field for a particular draft tube. As a result of the optimization process, it was possible to obtain different draft-tube flow structures generated by the automatic manipulation of parameterized inlet velocity profiles. Thus, this work develops a qualitative and quantitative analysis of these new draft tube flow field structures provoked by the redesigned inlet velocity profiles. The comparisons among the different flow fields obtained clearly illustrate the importance of the flow uniformity at the end of the conduit. Another important aspect has been the elimination of the re-circulating flow area which used to promote an adverse pressure gradient in the cone, deteriorating the pressure recovery effect. Thanks to the evolutionary optimization strategy, it has been possible to demonstrate that the optimized inlet velocity profile can suppress or mitigate, at least numerically, the undesirable draft tube flow characteristics. Finally, since there is only a single swirl number for which the objective function has been minimized, the energy loss factor might be slightly affected by the flow rate if the same relation of the axial-tangential velocity components is maintained, which makes it possible to scale the inlet velocity field to different operating points.

화석연료를 연소할 때 연소로 내의 고온의 온도 분위기에서 열적 질소산화물이 발생하게 된다. 연소기기에서 질소산화물을 저감하기 위한 여러 가지 방법 중에 배기가스 재순환 방법이 널리 쓰이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 배기가스 재순환 배관에 코안다 노즐을 사용하고 양쪽 출구가 트인 재순환하는 버너에 대하여 냉간 유동 특성을 전산유체해석을 통해 살펴보았다. 재순환 배관이 원통 버너의 접선방향으로 설치되어 있어서 버너 내부에서 선회유동이 형성되어 원통 버너 중심 부분에 역류가 생기는 현상을 관찰하였으며 이는 한쪽이 막힌 재순환 버너와 유사한 경향임을 확인 하였다. 본 연구로부터 양쪽 출구가 트인 재순환 버너에서 재순환 유입량은 한쪽이 막힌 버너보다 약 5% 증가하는 것을 확인하였고 양쪽 트인 버너에서 배기가스 재순환 배관의 유입구 위치의 출구에서는 전체 영역에서 유입 유동이 형성되고 반대편의 출구에서는 총 유량은 배출되지만 원통의 가운데 부분은 역류가 일어나는 것을 확인하였다. 배출되는 출구에서 배출되는 유량은 유입되는 출구에서의 유입량보다 3~5배 유량이 크게 나타났다.

연소기기에서 연소반응과정이 일어날 때 연소로 내 고온의 온도 분위기에서 공기 중의 산소와 질소가 반응하여 질소산화물이 발생하게 된다. 발생한 질소산화물을 저감하기 위하여 화력발전소나 폐기물 소각로는 촉매를 이용한 탈질설비를 설치하고 있는데 이에 따른 설치와 유지비용이 많이 소요된다. 연소기기에서 질소산화물을 저감하기 위한 여러 가지 방법 중에 배기가스 재순환 방법이 널리 쓰이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 배기가스 재순환 배관에 코안다 노즐을 사용하여 배기가스를 재순환하는 재순환 버너에 대하여 전산유체해석을 통해 연구를 수행하였으며 냉간 유동에서 배기가스 재순환 유동 특성을 살펴보았고 코안다 노즐의 공기 측 간격 변화와 공기 유량 변화에 따른 배기가스 재순환 유량 특성을 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 버너 형상은 배기가스 재순환 흡입구와 출구는 원통 버너의 중심을 향하지 않고 접선 방향으로 설치되어 있어서 버너 내부에서 선회 유동이 형성 되었으며 이에 따라 원통 내부의 중심부분에 역류가 일어나는 특성을 관찰하였다. 또한, 코안다 노즐의 공기 측 간격은 0.5mm일 때는 배기가스 재순환 유량이 공기량 보다 약 2.5배 이었고 1.0mm일 때는 약 1.5배로 나타났으며 같은 공기 측 간격에서 공기량을 증가하면 배기가스 재순환 유량은 약간 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
