Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) shows great potential for low $NO_x$ emission but is hampered by the problem of no direct method to control the combustion process. Therefore, HCCI combustion becomes unstable easily, especially at lower and higher engine load. This paper presents a method to achieve diesel-fueled HCCI combustion, which involves directly injecting diesel fuel into the cylinder before the piston arrives at top dead center in the exhaust stroke and adjusting the valve overlap duration to trap more high temperature residual gas in the cylinder. The combustion stability of diesel-fueled HCCI combustion and the effects of engine load, speed, and valve overlap on it are the main points of investigation. The results show that: diesel-fueled HCCI combustion has two-stage heat release rate (low temperature and high temperature heat release) and very low $NO_x$ emission, combustion stability of the HCCI engine is worse at lower load because of misfire and at higher load because of knock, the increase in engine speed aids combustion stability at lower load because the heat loss is reduced, and increasing negative valve overlap can increase in-cylinder temperature which aids combustion stability at lower load but harms it at higher load.

A cylindrical constant-volume combustion chamber was used to investigate the flow characteristics at the spark electrode gap and the combustion characteristics of an inhomogeneous charge methane-air mixture under several parameters such as stratified pattern, initial charge pressure, ignition time and the excess air ratio of the initial charge mixture. Flow characteristics including mean velocity and turbulence intensity were analyzed by a hot-wire anemometer. The combustion pressure development, measured by a piezo-electric pressure transducer, was used to investigate the effect of initial charge pressure, excess air ratio and ignition times on combustion pressure and combustion duration. It was found that the mean velocity and turbulence intensity had the maximum value around 200-300 ms and then decreased gradually to near-zero value at 3000 ms. For the stratified patterns, the combustion rate under the rich injection (RI) condition was the fastest. Under the initial charge conditions, the second mixture was accompanied by an increase in the combustion rate, and that the higher the mass which is added in the second stage injection, the faster the combustion rate.

Six different size of torch-ignition device were applied in a constant volume combustion chamber for evaluating the effects of torch-ignition on combustion. The torch-ignition device was designed for six different volumes and same orifice size. The combustion pressures were measured to calculate the mass burn fraction and combustion enhancement rate. In addition, the flame propagations were visualized by shadowgraph method for the qualitative comparison. The result showed that the combustion pressure and mass burn fraction were increased when using the torch ignition device. And the combustion duration were decreased. The combustion enhancement rates of torch-ignition cases were improved in comparison with conventional spark ignition. Finally, the visualization results showed that the torch-ignition induced faster burn than conventional spark ignition due to the earlier transition to turbulent flame and larger flame surface, during the initial stage. Finally, the initial flame propagation was affected by torch-ignition volume.

In this study, Development of 300,000kcal/hr high velocity Injection burner with fuel multi-stage was performed using experiments. The characteristics of NOx emission in multi fuel/air staged combustor have been experimentally studied. The design concept of multi fuel/air staged combustor is creation of two separate flame, a primary flame is largest access air combustion and the secondary flame is complete combustion zone, where most of fuel bums. Experiments were performed on an industrial scale in a laboratory furnace and Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) was used as primary and secondary fuels. Comparison of outlet NOx and outlet Temperature under various air rate and primary/ secondary fuel ratio was performed. The test demonstrated that NOx emission con be reduced by 70% in accordance with operating conditions.

Characteristics of low NOx burner is investigated. Low NOx burner introduced in this paper adopts two staged combustion with plasma burner for the 1st stage combustion. Extensive parametric tests were done to figure out the effect of burner stoichiometry, staged thermal load, electric power for plasma generation. Overall NOx production by burner shows effective reduction by adopting plasma staged burner. and the aspects depends on the fuel stoichiometry of 1st stage burner or operating condition of plasma burner. It is promising to use plasma burner as an alternative tools of low NOx burner technology.

액체로켓엔진에서 고주파 연소불안정을 제어하기 위하여 다단 접선 유입구를 갖는 스월 인젝터를 분석하였다. 음향흡수자로서 인젝터의 효과를 분석하기위하여 인젝터는 1/4 파장 공명기로 해석하였고, 상온에서 감쇠 효과의 적합성을 검증하였다. 이러한 인젝터는 모델 챔버의 고유주파수에 동조시킬 수 있는 고유주파수를 갖게 된다. 다단의 접선 유입구를 갖는 인젝터가 단일 유입구를 갖는 인젝터 보다 인젝터 내부의 air core가 안정되었다. 또한, 다단 접선 유입구를 갖는 인젝터를 사용하였을 때 불안정 모드에 동조되는 인젝터 길이가 계산된 길이와 잘 일치하였다. 이러한 실험 결과로부터 인젝터 내부의 air core가 안정되게 유지된다면, 동조된 스월 인젝터는 모델 챔버의 불안정 모드를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있고, 감쇠율을 증가시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The effects of hydrogen ($H_2$) ratio on combustion and emission characteristics in a $H_2/diesel$ dual-fuel engine were investigated. Dual-fuel strategy was applied to improve the control of combustion phasing. The combustion phasing was retarded with increasing $H_2$ fraction. This can be explained by both reduced diesel concentration and chemical effect of $H_2$, which reduce the heat release rate during the low temperature reaction stage. Hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions of the engine were decreased drastically when $H_2$ ratio was increased.
