This work was performed to investigate the distribution of the fuel droplet size around the bluff-body and the combustion characteristics. The geometry of the bluff-body influenced the spray shape and the combustion characteristics. Diameters of the bluff-body in this experiment are 6, 8, and 10 mm and the impingement $angles({\theta})\;are\;30^{\circ},\;60^{\circ},\;and\;90^{\circ}$. The measurement points were at the distances of 20 and 30 mm axially from the nozzle. The SMD and Rosin-Rammler distribution was acquired by image processing technique (PMAS), and the mean temperatures were measured by thermocouple. The results obtained are as follows; In the condition of ${\theta}=60^{\circ}$, the values of SMD are not greatly varied compared to the other conditions. As the impingement angle of bluff-body was increased, the high temperature region was wider along radial direction. When the air-fuel ratio was increased, the CO concentration was decreased.

This paper describes the investigation of combustion characteristics of gasoline-methanol blend in constant volume combustion chamber. A constant volume combustion chamber was used to elucidate a basic combustion characteristics and the premixer was installed to control temperature and equivalence ratio. And the maximum pressure, combustion duration and flame propagation according to the evaporation rate were measured to determine the optimal temperature range for evaporating a blend fuel. These experimental results indicate that the combustion characteristics such as combustion chamber pressure and combustion were deteriorated by decreasing surrounding temperature of fuel. These experimental results indicate that the combustion characteristics such as combustion chamber pressure and combustion were deter orated by decreasing surrounding temperature of fuel injected. It was also found that the overall gasification process for methanol blend fuel was influenced by a combustion chamber temperature rather than a premixer temperature.

The present study deals with the unique characteristics of hydrogen jet diffusion flames, such as split flames and reignition phenomenon. The split flames are composed of a small flamelet on the nozzle rim and a lifted main flame at downstream. When mass flow rates of fuel reach a critical point, a small-sized flamelet is found to remain in the vicinity of the nozzle exit and the flame reignition subsequent to blowout of main flame occurs repeatedly. In this study, the non-luminous hydrogen jet diffusion flames are visualized by using schlieren technique in order to analyze the combustion characteristics of hydrogen jet diffusion flames with focus on the flame reignition phenomenon.

The effects of nozzle-lip thickness on the relationship between screech tone and broadband shock-associated noise were experimentally investigated using a convergent-divergent nozzle with a design Mach number of 2.0. Overall sound pressure levels (OASPL) and noise spectra were obtained at far-field locations. Schlieren optical system was used to visualize the flow-fields of supersonic jets. A baffle plate was installed at the exit of the nozzle and its size was varied to obtain different nozzle-lip thicknesses. Experiment was carried out over a wide range of nozzle pressure ratios from 2.0 and 18.0, which corresponds to over- and under-expanded conditions. The results obtained clearly show that the screech tones are influenced by the nozzle-lip thickness. It is found that the screech tone and its peak amplitude are strongly dependent on whether the jet is over-expanded and under-expanded at the nozzle exit.

In this paper, we propose a new defect detection technology for micro-defect on the surface of steel products. Due to depth and size of microscopic defect, slop of surface and vibration of strip, the conventional optical method cannot guarantee the detection performance. To solve the above-mentioned problems and increase signal to noise ratio, a novel retro-schlieren method that consists of retro reflector and knife edge is proposed. Moreover dual switching lighting method is also applied to distinguish uneven micro defects and surface noise. In proposed method, defective regions are represented by a black and white pattern. This pattern is detected by a defect detection algorithm with Gabor filter. Experimental results by simulator for sample defects of cold rolled steel show that the proposed method is effective.

Experiments were performed in order to examine the stability of hydrocarbon-fueled flames in cavity flameholders in supersonic airflows. Methane and ethylene were burned in two different cavity configurations having aft walls ramped at 22.5 and 90$^{\circ}$. Air stagnation temperatures were 590 K at Mach 2 and 640 K at Mach 3. Lean blowout limits showed dependence on the air mass flowrates. Visual observations, planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) of nitric oxide (NO), and Schlieren imaging were used to investigate these phenomena. Large differences were noted between cavity floor and cavity ramp injection schemes. Cavity ramp injection provided better performance in most cases. Ethylene pilots have a wider range of stable operation than methane. Fuel flowrates at ignition showed similar trends as lean blowout limits, but higher flowrates were required.

The properties of plasmas produced by high power glass laser were investigated with various methods of diagnostics. Electron temperature was estimated by measurement of soft X-ray, and ion temperature was estimated by measurement of the time-of-flight of ion. The measurement of incident and reflected laser light, and Schlieren and shadowgragh methods were also used. No influence of laser pulse duration on the temperature was observed in the case of durations 2, 4 and 10 nsecs. The effective heating of plasma occurred in about 2 nsec of beginning of incident laser pulse. The experimental results for fast rising laser pulse were discussed and the influence of resetime of laser pulse on the heating of plasma was described. Neutrons produced by irradiating laser beam to solid deuterium target were detected.

This article describes a cellular instability and laminar burning velocity of simulated synthetic natural gas(SNG) including 3% hydrogen. In this study, experimental apparatus is employed using cylindrical bomb combustor, and investigation is carried out with high speed camera and Schlieren system. The cellular instability is caused by the buoyancy, hydrodynamic instability. Unstretched burning velocity can be determined by extrapolated stretch rate of zero point from measured results. These results were also compared with numerical calculation by Chemkin package with GRI 3.0, USC-II, WANG, C3 Fuel mechanism. As an experimental conditions, equivalence ratios was adjusted from 0.8 to 1.3. From results of this work, the one was found that the cellular instability has occurred by effect of thermal expansion rate and flame thickness. As the other results, unstretched laminar burning velocity was best coincided with GRI 3.0 mechanism.

Detonation phenomena of $C_2H_2$were invesgated using the various shock tube. To study the detonation characteristics according to the composition of $C_2H_2-0_2$$_2$ and $C_2H_2$-air mixtures, the composition were varied from 5 to 90% and 5 to 50% of acetylene each other. A spiral ring was installed in the shock tube to study the effect of obstacles in DDT phenomena. Detonation velocities were measured using the photodiode, and the DDT phenomena was visualized using the high speed schlieren photograph. From the experimental result, it was found that the detonation velocity was most high near the 1. 8times the stoichiometric ratio of acetylene. And from the visualization of DDT phenomena, it was found that the detonation wave was strengthened throuth the pile up of small compression wave of burned gas. And the obstacles in shock tube accelerate the detonation reaction by turblent effect of flammable gas mixture.
