The present work is a continuation of our previous study to investigate the effects of parameters such as equivalence ratio, hydrogen supplement rate and initial pressure on combustion characteristics in a disk-shaped constant volume combustion chamber. The main results obtained from the study can be summarized as follows. The flames in near stoichiometric mixture of methane-air are propagated with a spherical shape, but in excess rich or lean mixtures are propagated with a elliptical shape. And, they are changed to an unstable elliptical shape flame with very regular cells by increasing the hydrogen supplement rate. Also, flame is sluggishly propagated at increased initial pressure in combustion chamber. Volume fraction of burned gas and flame radius as the combustion characteristics are increased by increasing the hydrogen supplement rate, especially at the combustion middle period, but then are slowly increased by increasing the initial pressure.

The effect of adding carbon dioxide to methane-air flame was investigated experimentally. Measurements included extinction limits, flame temperature and photographic investigation of flame. A diffusion flame was stabilized between counterflowing streams of methane diluted with carbon dioxide and air diluted with carbon dioxide. Extinction limits and temperature for such flames were measured over a wide parametric range and were compared with those for other flames that fuel or oxidant was diluted with nitrogen or argon. The experimental results indicate that extinction phenomena can be explained by thermal effect and as an amount of carbon dioxide in fuel or oxidant increases, greatly as compared with other flames flame-temperature falls and flame-thickness is reduced.

In order to clarify the effect of equivalence ratio and kinds of fule in flame structure, a numerical simulation of triple flame developed in a co-flowing methane-air and air stream was carried out by the elementary chemical reaction mechanism. The following conclusions were obtained. Equivalence ratio at which the apparent burning velocity is maximum is a little larger than that of the one-dimensional premixed flame. Apparent burning velocities are two times higher than that of the one-dimensional premixed flame for the methane-air. The flame thrusts out forward in the downstream of the boundary between mixture and air stream, and a part of the flow is bent and forks out in this protruding flame so that a triple flame is originated; this triple flame is composed of fuel rich and lean premixed flame branches and a diffusion flame branch. Near the equivalence ratio at which the burning velocity of rule-dimensional premixed flame is the largest the effect of one-dimensional premixed flame becomes large and the fuel rich premixed flame advances and becomes vertical to the flow direction.

정상초음파장의 구동 주파수가 메탄-공기 예혼합화염의 전파특성에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하는 실험결과를 제시한다. 고속카메라를 이용하여 화염의 전파영상을 획득하였으며, 영상 후처리를 통해 화염선단의 구조와 속도변이를 포함하는 화염의 거시적 거동을 상세히 관찰하였다. 정상초음파가 연소반응을 촉진시켜 화염 전파속도의 증대와 화염선단 구조의 변이를 유발한다는 사실에 더하여, 초음파구동 주파수와 당량비에 대한 화염거동의 종속성을 확인하였다.

수치법을 검증하고 번형률과 연료농도가 무중력 확산화염 구조에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해, 무중력에서의 비예혼합 메탄-공기 대향류 화염의 구조를 FDS의 축대칭 모사로 조사하였다. 연료 중의 메탄 몰분율 $X_m$=20, 50, 80%와 각각의 몰분율에서 변형률 $a_g$=20, 50, $90s^{-1}$의 계산결과를 1차원 화염코드인 OPPDIF의 결과와 비교하였다. 축대칭 모사로 계산한 온도와 축방향 유속의 분포가 1차원 모사 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 화염의 두께와 위치, 정체점을 잘 예측함으로써 FDS를 넓은 범위의 변형률과 연료농도의 대향류 화염에 적응할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Behaviors of lean premixed flame of propane/air and methane/air flame anchored by a pilot flame in a tube were investigated experimentally varying the mean velocity from 10 to 140 cm/s and the equivalence ratio from 0.45 to 0.8. Behaviors of both flames are divided into five regions of stable, flash-back, tail-out, flickering and vibrating. General characteristics of each region and Le number effect are investigated. Two main instabilities, flickering and vibration, are both unstable but the instability mechanism, the frequency and the amplitude of pressure fluctuation are different. In the edge of the vibrating region, pressure fluctuation repeats generation and extinction. Repeated growth and decrease of the amplitude of pressure fluctuation are explained by Rayleigh#s index.

메탄-공기의 비예혼합 대향류 확산화염 차폐가스가 화염구조에 미치는 영향을 수치적으로 조사하였다. 20 $s^{-1}$의 저변형율, 메탄가스 19%와 질소 79%의 혼합가스 연료와 공기의 확산화염을 대상으로 하였다. 질소차폐가스의 속도의 차폐가스의 유무에 따른 화염의 형태와 중심선상의 온도 및 축방향 속도의 분포를 비교하였다. 정상중력에서 $V_{S}/V_{F}{\leq}2$일 때 차폐가스의 유동이 화염구조에 미치는 영향은 무시할 수 있었다. 정상중력에서 차폐가스가 없는 경우의 화염형태와 그 위치는 차폐가스가 있는 경우와 다르지만, 무중력에서는 중심선상에서 차폐가스의 영향이 거의 없었다.

A flame speed of methane mixture of water vapor and air have been measured to study the process of flame propagation using schlieren photographs. The quantity of water vapor contained were changed 5% and 10% of total mixture, and equivalence ratio of mixture between 0.8 and 1.2 were tested under the ambient temperature 323K and 373K. The results showed that the burning velocity was decreased by increasing the water vapor contents due to the interruption of flame development. And, the reduction rate of burning velocity was smaller by increasing the water contents under the same ambient temperature. The effects of ambient temperature on burning velocity was decreased by increasing the water vapor contents.

Flickering behaviors of lean premixed flame of propane/air and methane/air flame anchored by a pilot flame in a tube were investigated. Unsteady behaviors of the flame were monitored by a high speed ICCD camera and the flickering frequency was defined as the number of flame curvatures passing a fixed spatial point in a second. Unlike previous studies in which flames are in open condition so that the flickering mechanism is an unstable interaction of hot buoyant products with the ambient air, flames in this study are surrounded by a tube which means they are not open to ambient air, so that there is no interaction between hot buoyant products and ambient air. Despite the fact, there exists flickering phenomena and the flickering frequency ranges from 10 Hz to 50 Hz which is wider compared to previous studies. We relate the flickering mechanism to flame-generated vorticity and analytic solution for locally approximated flow is used. As a result, the relationship between flickering wavelength and dimensionless vorticity is acquired and the cause of higher range of flickering frequency is explained.

Laminar lifted methane jet flame diluted with nitrogen and helium in co-flow air has been investigated experimentally. This paper examines the role of chemistry, intermediate species responsible for stabilization of lifted flame. To elucidate the stabilization mechanism in lifted methane jet flames with Sc<1, the chemiluminescence intensities of $CH^*$ and $OH^*$ were measured using ICCD camera at various nozzle exit velocities and fuel mole fractions. It has been observed that the $OH^*$ species can play an important role in stabilization of lifted methane jet flame as they are good indicators of heat release rate which can affect on flame speed and increase stability through reduction in ignition delay time.
