The purpose of study is to investigate the flame stability and Structure of turbulent diffusion flame behind the hollowed flame holder, which is located on the waste gas coming out from the test furnace. Fluctuating temperature and ion current measurement and their statistical treatment were used for the purpose. Three types of flame were stabilized and each of which were changed by adequate equivalence ration. And we found that have no periodicity near reacting zone.

A light collecting probe named Multi-colored Integrated Receiving Optics (MICRO) is experimentally examined to verify its performance. For these purposes, the time-series signals of MICRO probe is compared with those of electrostatic probe and light-guided probe by monitoring, for example, such as OH radical chemiluminescence, CH radical band and droplet Mie scattering. In addition, the experiment was conducted by using laminar premixed Bunsen flame, turbulent premixed Bunsen flame and premixed spray flame, respectively. It was confirmed that the performance of MICRO probe was very useful and convenient to obtain the chemiluminescence signals from local regions in turbulent premixed Bunsen flame and premixed spray flame.

The effects of nozzle arrangements, nozzle distances and fuel flowrates on the flame stabilities such as flame length, liftoff height and blowout characteristics are investigated experimentally. Three nozzle arrangements - diamond 4 nozzle, linear 5 nozzle, cross 5 nozzle- are used. Flame interactions result in the increase of the blowout flowrates and constant turbulent liftoff heights. The flames separated about 10 nozzle diameters are sustained as nozzle attached flames to the higher fuel flowrates than the other separation cases. Normally flames are extinguished at the lifted states. Blowout flowrates are affected by the nozzle configuration, nozzle seperation distance. Blowout flowrates for the diamond- or cross- shaped nozzle arrangements are parabolic function of nozzle distances. Maximum blowout flowrates for the 5 nozzle configuration case except linear one is about 2.9 times that of single equivalent nozzle case. Turbulent liftoff heights are not function of flowrates for the interacting flames.

Measurements of global emissions, flame radiation and flame dimensions are presented for unconfined turbulent-jet and precessing-jet diffusion flames. Precessing jet flames are characterised by increases in global flame radiation and global flame residence time for methane and propane fuels, however a strong dependency of the NOx emission indices on the fuel type exists. The fuel type dependence is considered to be because soot radiation is more effective than gas-radiation at reducing global flame temperatures relative to adiabatic flame temperatures and reducing the NO production rate.

Large-scale fuel tanks emit massive amount of hardly-combustible VOC mixtures which are light hydrocarbon species in dilution with nitrogen and carbon dioxide. We have developed a lab-scale burner to combust those VOC mixtures by use of a turbulent partially-premixed flame as a pilot flame. For a higher HC treatment ratio, the mixture gases were reformed by a rotating arc plasma device. The results showed that the nitrogen mole fraction and the injecting speed of the VOC mixture influence on the performance of the burner. It was also found that the size of the pilot flame and the power supplied to the plasma device determine the overall HC treatment ratio and the concentrations of CO and NOx in the exhaust gas.

Comparisons of measured turbulence properties in the unburned gas region of turbulent premixed flame stabilized by pilot flame, in cases of combusting and non-combusting flow conditions, are presented. Methane-air premixed jet at fuel equivalence ratio of 0.6 and 1.0 and Reynolds number of 7,000 was diagnosed using two-color laser velocimeter to obtain turbulence statistics. Same set of measurements was repeated at 21 locations within the unburned gas region of both combusting and non-combusting conditions. Velocity data were analyzed to evaluate the spatial distribution of turbulence properties including Reynolds stress, probability densities, joint probability densities and auto correlations. Contrary to assumptions of current theoretical models, significant influence of flame was observed in every property that was studied in the present investigation. The effective viscosity increased ten-fold when flame was on from cold flow values. The effect of mixing on joint probability as well as in turbulence intensity was suppressed by the flame. The measurements suggest that common assumptions of premixed flame model may result in sizable error in prediction of flame length and temperature distribution in near-field.

The detachment stability characteristics of syngas $H_2$/CO jet attached flames were studied. The flame stability was observed while varying the syngas fuel composition, coaxial nozzle diameter and fuel nozzle rim thickness. The detachment stability limit of the syngas single jet flame was found to decrease with increasing mole fraction of carbon monoxide in the fuel. In hydrogen jet flames with coaxial air, the flame detachment stability was found to be independent of the coaxial nozzle diameter. However, velocities of appearance of liftoff and blowout velocities of lifted flames have dependence. At lower fuel velocity range, the critical coaxial air velocity leading to flame detachment increases with increasing fuel jet velocity, whereas at higher fuel velocity range, it decreases. This increasing-decreasing non-monotonic trend appears for all $H_2$/CO syngas compositions (50/50~100/0% $H_2$/CO). To qualitatively understand the flame behavior near the nozzle rim, $OH^*$ chemiluminescence imaging was performed near the detachment limit conditions. For all fuel compositions, local extinction on the rim is observed at lower fuel velocities(increasing stability region), while local flame extinction downstream of the rim is observed at higher fuel velocities(decreasing stability region). Maximum values of the non-monotonic trends appear to be identical when the fuel jet velocity is normalized by the critical fuel velocity obtained in the single jet cases.

So most practical combustor is considered to the swirl flame, it is very important to examinate swirl flame structure and combustion characteristics. Recently, attention has been paid to the flame diagnostic by radical luminous intensity. For swirl flame structure and combustion characteristic, reverse flow boundary, temperature, ion current and radical luminous intensity were measured in the double-coaxial swirl combustor which was used principle of multi-annular combustor. This study had three experimental condition, S-type, C-type, SC-type. S-type and C-type flames were formed recirculation zone, but SC-type flame wasn't formed. C-type flame had two recirculation zone. The position with maximum value of ion current and CH-radical, temperature and OH-radical had similarity distribution almost. Therefore, it is possible that the macro structure of flame was measured by radical luminous intensity in the high intensity of turbulent combustion field which was formed by swirl.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a survey of the flame stability range and the emission characteristics for the optimum design of turbulent premixed flat burner. For that, the flame stability range was selected by the direct photography of the flame. And the mean temperature and CO, HC, $CO_{2}\;and\;O_{2}$ concentration distributions by changing the excess air ratio were measured. As results of this study, the flame stability range turned out to be getting narrower as fuel flow was increased. The blue flame mode was more excellent than any other flame modes in the emission characteristics by excess air ratio change. And the emission characteristics by fuel flow change were best at fuel flow 1l/min. Also, we found combustion noise during experiment of flame stability range. It had nothing do with excess air ratio range.
