Numerical simulations are conducted at atmospheric pressure in order to understand the effect of the oxygen enrichment level on structure of $CH_4/O_2/N_2$ premixed flames. Under several equivalence ratios the flame speeds are calculated and compared with those obtained from the experiments, the results of which are in good agreement. The effects of the oxygen enrichment are investigated on flames under fuel-rich conditions. As the oxygen enrichment level is increased from 0.21 to 1, the flame speed and the temperature are increased. The emission index of $CO_2$ is decreased in cases of flames for fuel rich mixtures, so the efficiency of combustion may be decreased. The maximum emission index of NO is obtained for 0.6 of the oxygen enrichment level.

The characteristics of combustion and radiation heat transfer of an oxygen-enhanced diffusion flame was experimentally analyzed. An infrared radiation heat flux gauge was used to measure the thermal radiation of various types of flames with fuel, air and pure oxygen. And the Laser Induced Incandescence (LII) technique was applied to characterize the soot concentrations which mainly contribute to the continuum radiation from flame. The results show that an oxygen-enhanced inverse diffusion flame is very effective in increasing the thermal radiation compared to normal oxygen diffusion flame. This seems to be caused by overlapped heat release rate of double flame sheets formed in inverse flame and generation of higher intermediate soot in fuel rich zone of oxygen-fuel interface, which is desirable to increase continuum radiation. And the oxygen/methane reaction at slight fuel rich condition (ø=2) in oxygen-enhanced inverse flame was found to be more effective to generate the soot with moderate oxygen availability.

Structure of edge flame established in a mixing layer, formed between two uniformly flowing pure $CH_4$ and pure $O_2$ streams, is numerically investigated by employing a detailed methane-oxidation mechanism. The numerical results exhibited the most outstanding distinction of using pure oxygen in the fuel-rich premixed-flame front, through which the carbon-containing compound is found to leak mainly in the form of CO instead of HC compounds, contrary to the rich $CH_4-air$ premixed flames in which $CH_4$ as well as $C_2H_m$ leakage can occur. Moreover, while passing through the rich premixed flame, a major route for CO production, in addition to the direct $CH_4$ decomposition, is found to be $C_2H_m$ compound formation followed by their decomposition into CO. Beyond the rich premixed flame front, CO is further oxidized into $CO_2$ in a broad diffusion-flame-like reaction zone located around moderately fuel-rich side of the stoichiometric mixture by the OH radical from the fuel-lean premixed-flame front. Since the secondary CO production through $C_2H_m$ decomposition has a relatively strong reaction intensity, an additional heat-release branch appears and the resulting heat-release profile can no longer be seen as a tribrachial structure.

A preburner is one of the key components for a staged combustion cycle engine fueled by kerosene and Lox. Since it has oxygen rich combustion inside, temperature control is very crucial. The temperature of the exhaust gas should be low enough not to burn turbine blade and yet high to keep the efficiency high. In addition temporal and spatial deviations also managed strictly. Conventionally, the required average and maximum temperature are determined by engine system and the preburner should be developed to meet the criteria. Currently being developed preburner has 50K spatial temperature deviation requirement. It was estimated by numerical simulations and proven by tests. The numerical analysis were done with both supercritical condition and normal conditions. The tests results showed that the temperature deviations were less than expected, and the results from the test and simulations were well agreed when the supercritical conditions were considered. Above all, since the gas temperature created by the preburner is very stable with minimum deviation, the preburner developed can be used to drive a turbine and for gas-liquid combustion chambers.

Numerical simulations of freely propagating fuel-rich $CH_4/CH_3Cl$ premixed flames were performed at atmospheric pressure in order to understand the effect of the oxygen enrichment on the production of PAH. A chemical kinetic mechanism was used, which involved 157 gas-phase species and 1693 forward reactions. The calculated flame speeds were compared with the experiments for the flames established on the equivalence ratios of 1~1.6, the results of which were in good agreement. As the level of oxygen enrichment was increased, the concentrations of one or four ring aromatic hydrocarbons were decreased. This might cause the fact that the contribution of PAH species to soot was weakened.

산화제 과잉 예연소기의 연소안정성을 알아보기 위하여 예연소기의 각 부위에서 압력을 측정하였다. 압력측정은 정압센서와 동압센서를 모두 이용하여 이루어졌다. 이 때 사용된 정압센서와 동압센서의 해상도는 각각 최고 1000 Hz와 25,600 Hz이다. 예연소기의 정격압은 200 bar이나 위험을 줄이기 위하여 초기에는 80 bar로 낮추어 시험을 하였고 안정성이 확인된 이후 200 bar 시험을 실시하였다. 또한 모든 시험에서 점화충격을 줄이기 위하여 저압점화 후 연소압을 정격압력까지 올리는 2단 점화를 사용하였다. 시험은 최대 약 10초가량 실시되었으며 메인모드 진입 이후에는 연소압에 큰 변화 보이지 않았다. 연소압의 측정결과는 FFT를 통해 좀 더 심도 있게 분석되었으며 그 결과 예연소기의 연소안정성을 해할 만한 주파수의 커플링은 발견되지 않았다. 따라서 현재 개발되고 있는 예연소기는 향후 다단 연소사이클 엔진 연구에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

A series of computational analyses was performed to predict the cooling process by the cooling channel of preburners used for kerosene-liquid oxygen staged combustion cycle rocket engines. As an oxygen-rich combustion occurs in the kerosene fueled preburner, it is of great importance to control the wall temperature so that it does not exceed the critical temperature. However, since the heat transfer is proportional to the speed of fluid running inside the channel, the high heat transfer leads to a trade-off of pressure loss. For this reason, it is necessary to establish a certain criteria between the pressure loss and the heat transfer or the wall surface temperature. The design factors of the cooling channel were determined by the computational research, and a test model was manufactured. The test model was used for the hot fire tests to prove the function of the cooling mechanism, among other purposes.

산화제 과잉 예연소기의 연소시험을 통해 예연소기 각 부위에서 압력을 측정하였다. 측정결과는 FFT를 통해 주파수 해석이 이루어 졌으나 정압 센서의 한계로 인하여 250 Hz 이상의 주파수에는 자세한 연구가 이루어지지 못하였다. 정압 데이터 분석결과 30 Hz의 하모닉스가 연소압과 산소입구에서 관측되었다. 따라서 연소압의 변화는 O/F 변화로 인한 것으로 파악된다. 반면에 동압센서 신호를 살펴보면 정압센서에서 확연히 나타났던 주파수보다 훨씬 더 명확한 주파수가 보다 높은 Hz에서 관측되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The decomposition of tetrafluoromethane has been investigated with the reaction mechanism proposed for freely propagating $CH_4/CF_4/O_2/N_2$ premixed flames on the oxygen enrichment. The factors affecting on the removal efficiency of tetrafluoromethane were analyzed. The increase in flame temperature due to oxygen enrichment has a great influence on the removal efficiency of tetrafluoromethane. At the same oxygen enrichment condition, the removal efficiency in the rich flame is higher than one in the lean flame. The increase of the F/H ratio leads to decrease the flame temperature and the removal efficiency of tetrafluoromethan is decreased at the flame temperature of 2600 K or lower, The elementary reactions that dominate the consumption of tetrafluoromethane are (R1) $CF_4+M=CF_3+F+M$ and (R2) $CF_4+H=CF_3+HF$. (R1) has the greatest effect on the consumption of tetrafluoromethane under the oxygen enhanced flames.

본 연구에서는 액체 추진제 소형로켓엔진의 개발을 위한 선행연구로 연료과농 조건의 기체메탄-기체산소 연소시험 결과를 제시한다. 다양한 당량비에 대한 연소특성을 비교하기 위해 산소 공급 유량을 12 g/s로 설정하고 메탄 공급 유량을 변화시켰다. 시험 결과, 연소시험 중 형성되는 정상상태 특성속도가 후반에서 급작스럽게 증가하는 현상이 관측되었으며, 그 변화량은 당량비에 비례하여 커지는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 특성속도의 변이특성에 종속하는 당량비 구간을 총 3가지 연소 범주로 구분하였다.
