This numerical study was to investigate the effect of $CO_2$ addition on the structures and NOx formation characteristics in $CH_4$ counterflow diffusion flame. The importance of radiation effect was identified and $CO_2$ addition effect was investigated in terms of thermal and chemical reaction effect. Also the causes of NOx reduction were clarified by separation method of each formation mechanisms. The results were as follows : The radiation effect was intensified by $CO_2$ addition. Thermal effect mainly contributed to the changes in flame structure and the amount of NO formation but the chemical reaction effect also cannot be neglected. The reduction of thermal NO was dominant with respect to reduction rate, but that of prompt NO was dominant with respect to total amount.

To remove harmful gases from combustion exhaust gases. fundamental study on NOx removal using pulse corona discharge has been performed through experiments and simulations. The energy consumption should be decreased in order to apply non-thermal plasma technology to industry process. This work summarized the effects of $H_2O$ and Hydrocarbon additive in NOx removal efficiency. The Radical program is used to simulate high voltage discharge and the process of NOx removal. At last, experimental results were compared with simulation results to verify the reliability of this program.

Experimental and numerical studies have been done to examine the effects of excess air ratio and tertiary air swirl number on the formation characteristics of NOx in a pilot scale combustor adopting a multi-air staged burner. In numerical calculation the mathematical models for turbulence, radiation and nitric oxide chemistry were taken into account. The radiative transfer equation was solved using the discrete ordinates method with the weighted sum of gray gases model. In the NOx chemistry model, the chemical reaction rates for thermal and prompt NOx were statistically averaged using a probability density function. The results were validated by comparison with measurements. For the experiment, a 0.2 MW pilot multi-staged air burner has been designed and fabricated. Using the numerical simulation developed here, a variation of thermal and prompt NOx formation was predicted by changing the excess air ratio and tertiary air swirl number. As the excess air ratio increased up to 1.9, the formation of the total as well as thermal NOx at exit increased while the prompt NOx decreased. The formation of thermal NOx was more affected by concentration of $O_2$ and $N_2$ than gas temperature. When the tertiary air swirl number increased, the formation of the total as well as the prompt NOx slightly decreased.

The NOx emission characteristics of C$H_4$-Air coflow jet flames were numerically and experimentally investigated. NOx was measured using a chemiluminescent detection and calculated by the parabolic -type equation solver with a detatiled NOx chemistry. The fuel flow rate( $Q_{F}$), the diameter of mixture nozzle and the equivalence rate(Ф) were varied to discuss the EINOx of each flames at the various combustion conditions. The NOx emission index(EINOx) was introduced to quantify the NOx emission from the parametrically varied flames. The results show that Prompt EINOx increases on a logarithmic profile with increasing ${\Phi}$ and keeps nearly constant for the variation of $Q_{F}$. Thermal EINOx reaches the maximum value at around ${\Phi}$ =1.5 and then slowly decrease for ${\Phi}$ >1.5. In addition, Thermal EINOx increases with increasing $Q_{F}$, but nearly indifferent to the variation of the mixture nozzle diameter. Total EINOx also shows a peak at around ${\Phi}$ =1.5, followed by a relatively sharp decrease for 1.5< ${\Phi}$ <2.5 and increase slowly for 2.5 < ${\Phi}$ < $\infty$ The present Total EINOx trend is well explained by a combination of above Thermal and Prompt EINOx trend with the variation of ${\Phi}$ n of ${\Phi}$.

Experimental and numerical investigation on NOx emission characteristics with equivalence ratios, fuel flow rates and nozzle diameters were studied in CH4 Jet flames. Emission indices of NOx were measured by chemiluminescent method with carbon converter. Numerical analyses were carried out with GRl-2.11 mechanism that includes C2-chemistry and all of NO reaction mechanisims. The roles of thermal NO and prompt NO mechanism on each flame's NOx emission index were investigated. The results of this study show that the numerical results represent well the trends of ElNOx experimentally observed. The numerical analyses clarified the trends of EINOx with equivalence ratios, fuel flow rates and nozzle diameters.

A hybrid De- NOx technique of non-thermal plasma and $NH_3$ SCR process has been investigated to remove NOx from 300 hp marine engine exhaust under the low temperature conditions, i.e. $100-200^{\circ}C$. Fundamental investigation with Diesel-like simulant gas was also conducted. The performance of the present technique has been demonstrated by treating real diesel exhaust gases, in which high contents of soot, water vapor, $SO_2$, NOx, and unburned HC are included. Detailed engineering data for evaluating the feasibility of the technique are provided in the present investigation.

Experimental investigations were conducted for two hydrogen-nitrogen coaxial jet diffusion flames. A flame was a conventional coaxial jet diffusion flame and the other was a coaxial jet diffusion flame of which ambient air-jet turbulence was intensified. In this study, firstly two kinds of NOx measuring system were campared by using different convertors, secondly the NOx formation characteristics were investigated in order to examine the effect of turbulence intensity. In this study it is known that stainless convertor has some problem in the converting process from NO$_2$to NO in fuel rich region but molybdenum convertor can detect the amount of NOx correctly. The increase of turbulence intensity reduces the thermal NOx less than a half in our experiment and this effect is conspicuous near the nozzle. The conversion rate from NO to NO$_2$and the portion of NO$_2$among NOx are increased with turbulence intensity. These NOx measurements will help to understand the influences of turbulence intensity on NOx formation.

배기가스 재순환(flue gas recirculation, 이하 FGR)은 질소산화물 저감에 효과적인 연소 기법으로 저공해 연소 분야에 다양하게 응용되고 있다. 이전 연구에 이어서 메탄/공기 대향류 예혼합화염에 FGR 기법 적용 시 나타나는 화염의 특성 변화 및 NOx 생성기구를 파악하기 위한 수치해석이 진행되었다. 배출되는 질소산화물(NOx)은 4가지 주요 반응경로(열적 NO, prompt NO, N₂H 및 N₂O)로 구분하여 배기가스 재순환율에 따른 각 NO 생성률을 상대적으로 나타내었다. 그 결과 열적 NO가 전체 NO 형성에 가장 크게 차지한 반면 N₂H의 영향은 미미하였다. 또한, 열적 NO의 기여를 검토하기 위하여 본 연구에 사용된 반응기구(UC San Diego mechanism)를 수정하여 재순환율 증가에 따른 NO 배출지수(EINO)를 비교하였다.

The flame image processing and it's analysis system has been developed for optimal coal firing of thermal power plant, especially for reducing NOx and safe operations. We aimed at gaining the relationship between burner flame image, emissions of NOx and LOI(Loss on ignition) in furnace by utilizing the flame image processing methods. And the relationship determines quantitatively the conditions of combustion on the individual burners. The test was conducted on Samchonpo thermal power plant #4 unit(560MW) of KOSEP which has 24 burners. The system simplified the burner adjustment works in accordance with the real time trending of flame behavior like NOx profiles and unburned carbon profiles for individual burners. But, This kind of conventional method increases the cost as the number of burner are increased. Also there is a difficulty to measure exhausted gas of each burner because of measurement errors. This paper intends to propose the useful "Flame Monitoring System" that can find Low NOX and LOI at the upper furnace and to compare with the conventional System.
