Soot and harmful exhaust gas produced by liquid hydrocarbon fuel caused various environmental problems. In this study, soot characteristics produced by thermal decomposition of acetylene and diesel were analyzed, which are formed at different temperatures. These fuels were observed to produce particulate matters, and collected soot samples were observed by using TEM & SEM. These were found to be significantly different in structure and crystallinity.

An experimental study for characteristics of soot were conducted at the post-flame region in jet diffusion flames, where carbon dioxide was used as additives in oxidizer stream. Light-extinction method was performed using He-Ne laser with wave length at 632.8nm for the measurement of relative soot density and soot volume fraction with dimensionless extinction coefficient, $K_e$ and mass specific extinction coefficient, ${\sigma}_s$. To increase of resolution, laser light was modified for sheet-form using concave, convex lenses and slit. C/H ratio was introduced for quantitative analysis of soot growth which is expressed by carbonization and dehydrogen. Also transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used for observation of morphological shape. The results show that the relative soot density in the post-flame region was lower when carbon dioxide was added in oxidizer stream because of reduction of flame temperature.

Characteristics of carbon soot particles generated in diffusion flames were studied. Non-sooting and sooting normal diffusion flames using propane or ethylene as fuel were selected. In the flames, soot volume fraction was measured by a thermocouple, and primary particle diameter and cluster size were analyzed by TEM photographs. The characteristics of soot particles depended on flame(non-sooting or sooting) and fuel(propane or ethylene) type. Unlike the sooting diffusion flames, particle growth and oxidation processes were clearly observed in the non-sooting diffusion flames. In the sooting diffusion flames, soot particle size was slightly changed at the flame tip.

Laser induced incandescence and laser induced fluorescence techniques have been investigated to measure the concentrations of soot and PAH, respectively. The Nd:YAG and dye lasers were used to form a sheet beam, and its wavelength were modulated to obtain a optimized signals of soot and PAH. Results showed that the relative size groups of soot and PAH can be measured by using our laser techniques.

A convolution algorithm combined with Fourier transformation has been applied to the tomographic reconstruction of asymmetric soot structure to identify the local soot volume fraction distribution. Line-of-sight integrated data from light extinction measurement with multi-angular scanning formed basic information for the deconvolution. Multi-peak following interpolation technique was applied to obtain the effect of increasing number of scanning angles. Height-by-height reconstructed soot volume fraction distribution was compared with laser-induced incandescence signals.

기유의 soot 분산 성능 실험과 엔진유의 산화 및 분산성 실험을 하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 윤활기유는 soot의 분산 성능에 매우 큰 영향을 미치며 고급 기유일수록 soot의 함량이 클수록 우수한 성능을 보인다. 2. VHVI 기유는 산화 시험 시간이 경과할수록 광유계 기유보다 우수한 산화안정성을 나타낸다. 3. 산화방지제는 산화방지뿐 아니라 분산성에도 영향을 미친다. 4. 광유계 기유를 사용한 경우 ZnDDP는 산화 방지 및 분산성을 향상 시키지 못하나 VHVI 기유에 ZnDDP를 투여한 경우에는 산화방지효과와 분산성능을 향상시킨다.

In order to investigate the effect of dimethyl ether (DME) on PAH and soot formation, the fuel has been mixed to the counter-flow diffusion flames of ethylene. Laser-induced incandescence and laser-induced fluorescence techniques were employed to measure relative concentrations of soot volume fraction and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentration, respectively. Results showed that even though pure DME flame produces the minimal amount of PAH and soot, the mixture fuel of DME and ethylene could increase PAH and soot formation, as compared to those of pure ethylene flame. This implies that even though DME has been known to be a clean fuel for soot formation, the mixture fuel of DME and the hydrocarbon fuel could produce enhanced production of soot. Numerical simulation demonstrated that methyl (CH$_{3}$) radical generated by the initial pyrolysis of DME can be contributed to the enhancement of PAH and soot formation, through the formation of propargyl (C$_{3}$H$_{3}$) radical.

An optimal soot blowing system has been developed for an optimal operation of power utility boilers by both minimization of the use of steam and the number of soot blowers worked during soot blowing. Traditionally, the soot blowing system has been operated manually by operators. However, it causes the reduction of power and thermal performance degradation because all soot blowers installed in the plant should be worked simultaneously even there are lots of tubes those are not contaminated by slagging or fouling. Heat transfer area is divided into four groups, furnace, convection area including superheater, reheater and economizer, and air preheater in the present study. The condition of cleanness of the tubes is calculated by several parameters obtained by sensors. Then, a part of soot blowers works automatically where boiler tubes are contaminated. This system has been applied in a practical power plant. Therefore, comparison has been done between this system and manual operation and the results are discussed.

In our previous study, it was proven that the mean size and the total number concentration of carbon soot particles emitted from a $C_2$H$_4$ normal diffusion flame decreased when a DC corona was discharged to pin-pin electrodes. In this work the effect of AC corona discharge on soot emission was investigated and compared with that of DC corona discharge. For the pin-pin electrodes the size of soot particles and the number concentration decreased by the AC voltage. There were only slight changes in size distribution with frequencies, while the magnitude of applied voltage was constant. When the electric field was applied to plate-plate electrodes, the size and the number concentration also decreased with the applied AC voltages. For applied voltages above 2kV the effect of frequency increase on the soot emission was effective.

The measurements of monochromatic line-of-sight flame emission and light transmission in the same path having small spatial resolution were performed in an axisymmetric laminar propane $C_{3}H_{8}$ diffusion flame. The light wavelengthes of 632 nm, 800nm, 900nm were used. From these measurements, local point soot radiances (by Kirchhoff's law) and absorption coefficients were reconstructed by tomography. Thus local point soot temperatures and concentrations were obtained. The reconstructed soot temperatures and concentrations of local points have no differences between the case of visible range (632 nm) and the case of infrared range (800 nm and 900 nm). In these ranges, the scattering coefficient is much lower than the absorption coefficient. Soot mean temperature over the path also matches well with local soot temperature in outer region of the flame. Temperature measurement by thermocouple with different bead diameters $(222{\mu}m and 308{\mu}m)$ was carried in the same flame. Rapid insertion technique was used and radiation effect was considered. Radiation correction in the sooting region was carried out and the corrected result was in good agreement with the local soot temperature.
