The characteristics of soot near the soot inception point for an ethene-air flame was carried out in a WSR (well-stirred reactor). The new sampling tool like the temperature controlled filter system was introduced to minimize the condensation during sampling. The new analysis tools applied include the real time size distribution analysis with the Nano-DMA, particle size by transmission electron microscopy, C/H analysis, g filter analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis using both non-oxidative and oxidative pyrolysis. The WSR can generate young soot particles that can be collected and examined to gain insight into inception. For the current conditions, soot does not form for ${\Phi}=1.9$, inception occurs at or before ${\Phi}=2.0$, and inception combined with soot surface growth and/or coagulation occurs for ${\Phi=2.1}$. The filter samples for ${\Phi}$=1.9 are composed of volatile compounds that evolve at relatively low temperatures when heated in the presence or absence of $O_2$. The samples collected from the WSR at ${\Phi}=2.0$ and ${\Phi}=2.1$ are precursor-like in morphology and size. They have higher C/H ratios and lower organic percentages than precursor particles, but they are clearly not fully carbonized soot. The WSR PAH distribution is similar to that in young soot from inverse flames.

본 연구에서는 WSR에서 혼합기의 CO첨가 효과에 따른 매연의 생성특성을 규명하기 위하여 수치해석 연구를 수행하였다. 연료는 에틸렌을 사용하였으며, 산화제는 순수 공기를 이용하였다. 서로 다른 당량비 조건(${\phi}$=2.0, 2.5, 3.0)에서 CO의 농도를 변화시켜가며 매연 생성 특성을 조사하였다. 10 %의 CO 첨가 경우에는 가장 작은 양의 CO를 유입하는데도 불구하고, 배출되는 CO의 몰분율이 다른 당량비 경우에 비해서 최대값을 나타낸다. 이는 초기 매연이 생성되는 지점에서는 매우 적은량의 CO가 매연이나 다른 탄소화합물로 변화함을 의미한다. 매연부피분율은 CO의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 감소되는데 매연생성에서 중요 화학종인 pyrene과 아세틸렌의 생성이 CO의 첨가에 의해 저하되기 때문이다. 또한 당량비가 2.5인 경우에 가장 많은 매연이 생성됨을 확인 할 수 있는데, 이는 연료과잉조건과 연소온도의 적절한 기여로서 설명되어 질 수 있다. 또한, 표면성장율과 중요 화학종의 농도는 매연생성에 대한 HACA(hydrogen abstraction and carbon addition)기구를 정당화한다.

Extinguishing limits of laminar ethylene/oxygen flames in both normal and inverse co-flow jet burner have been determined experimentally and computationally. An inert gas($N_2$, Ar, $CO_2$) was added into the oxidizer to find the critical concentration and the effectiveness of the agents on flame extinction. The experimental results showed that the physical aspect of inert gases was main mechanism for flame blow-out as same as cup burner test, but the flow effect should be considered to determine the extinction concentration. The numerical prediction was performed with modified WSR model and the result was in good agreement with the measurements. The experimental and numerical methods could be used for the assessment of various flame suppression agents such as minimum extinguishing concentration.

최근 다양한 생산기술의 발전을 통해 바이오연료의 생산이 크게 증가하였고, 석유와 같은 기존의 화석연료 등과 혼합연료를 만들어 소비를 장려하고 있다. 이와 같은 새로운 연료의 등장은 기존 에너지 시스템으로의 적용에 있어 화재 및 폭발의 위험성을 크게 증가시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대표적인 바이오연료의 소비형태인 휘발유/에탄올 혼합연료를 사용하는 연소장에서 화재 및 폭발의 위험성을 예측할 수 있는 기법을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 휘발유/에탄올 혼합기의 자연점화온도를 대상으로 수치해석하였고, 반응표면법을 이용하여 다양한 변수조건에 대해서 예측에 대한 유효성과 효율성을 판단해 보았다. 당량비, 압력, 에탄올 분율 등에 대한 자연 발화온도 변화특성은 전체적으로 에탄올 함량과 압력에 큰 의존도를 보였으며, 에탄올 함량이 줄어들수록 압력에 대한 영향이 줄어들었다. 또한 계산을 통한 실험값과 반응표면법을 통해 얻은 기대값이 매우 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 연료의 혼합 등 다양한 조건에서 운전하는 연소장에서 자연점화온도를 매우 적은 데이터로서 정확하게 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Combustion characteristics of gasoline/ethanol fuel were investigated both numerically and experimentally for vehicle fire safety. The numerical simulation was performed on the well-stirred reactor (WSR) to simulate the homogeneous gasoline engine and to clarify the effect of ethanol addition in the gasoline fuel. The simulating cases with three independent variables, i.e. ethanol mole fraction, equivalence ratio and residence time, were designed to predict and optimized systematically based on the response surface method (RSM). The results of stoichiometric gasoline surrogate show that the auto-ignition temperature increases but NOx yields decrease with increasing ethanol mole fraction. This implies that the bioethanol added gasoline is an eco-friendly fuel on engine running condition. However, unburned hydrocarbon is increased dramatically with increasing ethanol content, which results from the incomplete combustion and hence need to adjust combustion itself rather than an after-treatment system. For more tangible understanding of gasoline/ethanol fuel on pollutant emissions, experimental measurements of combustion products were performed in gasoline/ethanol pool fires in the cup burner. The results show that soot yield by gravimetric sampling was decreased dramatically as ethanol was added, but NOx emission was almost comparable regardless of ethanol mole fraction. For soot morphology by TEM sampling, the incipient soot such as a liquid like PAHs was observed clearly on the soot of higher ethanol containing gasoline, and the soot might be matured under the undiluted gasoline fuel.
