Autoignition suppression of hydrogen/air premixed mixtures by $CF_3CHFCF_3(HFP)$ was investigated computationally. Numerical simulation was performed in isobaric and homogeneous system to evaluate the induction times. The detailed chemistry of 93 species and 817 reaction mechanism was introduced for hydrogen/air/HFP mixtures. The result of pure hydrogen/air mixture show that the resulting value of induction time depends relatively weakly on the definition used event though there are various criteria for defining the induction time such as the inflection of temperature, OH and $O_2$ concentrations generally. Also, the autoignition temperature of $H_2/air$ mixture is estimated to about 850K, which is corresponds to the literature value. In the case of HFP addition in $H_2/air$ mixture, the results shows that there are several inflection points of radical concentration, and hence it might be to use the temperature for defining ignition delay. When HFP is added to stoichiometric $H_2/air$ mixture, the effect of ignition delay is outstanding above 10% HFP concentration. As HFP concentration increases, both dilution and chemical effects contribute to delay the ignition. Also, the chemical effect on the ignition delay is more considerable with the higher HFP concentration.

고체 산화물 연료전지(SOFC) 시스템은 스택과 기계적 주변 장치인 MBOP(Mechanical Balance of Plant), 그리고 전기적 주변장치인 EBOP(Electrical Balance of Plant)로 구성되어있다. SOFC는 일반적으로 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 작동되기 때문에 효율적인 열 이용 및 열 관리가 중요하다. SOFC 시스템의 MBOP에는 상온의 연료가스들을 고온으로 가열하여 스택에 유입 시기키 위한 열교환기 및 촉매연소기 등의 장치들이 필요하며, 효율적인 열관리를 위해서는 고온에서 작동하는 장치들을 한곳에 통합하여 구성하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 SOFC 시스템의 MBOP(Mechanical Balance of Pant) 중 고온부에 해당하는 촉매연소기, 열교환기 및 스택이 통합된 스택 모듈을 제작에 앞서 개념 검증을 위해 열교환기 및 촉매연소기로 이루어진 프로토타입(prototype)의 SOFC 모듈평가 장치를 제작하였다. 열교환기는 Plate형으로 총 6개로 구성되어 있으며, 연료극과 공기극 가스라인에 각각 3개씩 배치하여 스택에 유입되는 연료 및 공기가 촉매연소기에서 나오는 고온의 배가스와 열교환되어 가열되도록 구성하였다. 촉매연소기는 honeycomb 타입의 촉매를 사용하였고, 촉매연소기로 유입되는 연료극 배가스와 공기의 균일혼합과 hot spot을 방지하기 위한 장치를 삽입하여 제작하였다. 제작된 SOFC 모듈평가장치는 시운전을 통해 각 장치의 성능 확인 후 반응면적이 $20{\times}20cm^2$ 인 단전지를 적층하여 연계 운전을 수행하였다.

가스히터의 연소로부터 발생하는 소음 및 진동의 주원인은 연소소음(combustion roar)과 연소진동음(combustion oscillation)이다. 연소음의 특징은 음압이 넓은 주파수대에 걸쳐 비교적 일정하게 분포하고 있다. 본 논문에서 언급하고 있는 가스히터 초기 조건에서 볼 수 있는 상황으로 소음레벨이 낮고 진동 문제도 발생하지 않는다. 반면 연소진동음은 연소실내 기체의 고유진동수에 대하여 버너계가 Positive Feedback을 일으켜 공진할 때 발생되는 소음 및 진동이다. 연소진동의 발생 원인은 앞서 지적한 바와 같이, 연소할 때의 연소 진동수와 연소실의 구조적 고유진동수가 일치하면 큰 진동 및 소음을 발생시킨다. 따라서 소음 및 진동을 해결 할 수 있는 방법은 두 개의 고유진동수가 일치하지 않도록 하는 방법을 강구하여야 한다. 첫 번째 방법으로는 버너에서 연료와 공기량의 비율을 변화 시켜 진동수를 변화 시키거나, 연료와 공기의 통로길이, 연소실내에서의 연료와 공기의 혼합속도를 변화 시키는 방법이 있다. 두 번째 방법으로, 연소실의 고유진동수를 변화 시키는 방법으로 연소실의 길이나 덕트의 길이를 변경시켜 고유진동수의 주파수를 변경시키는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 연소실의 조건을 변경하여 공명을 회피하는 방법을 채택하였고, 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

디젤 엔진의 연소 과정에서 흡입공기와 분사된 연료의 최적 혼합기 형성이 배기성분, 연료효율 등 엔진의 성능을 향상시키는데 있어 매우 중요한 과제중의 하나이다. 이를 위하여 연료분무 현상에 대한 연구와 더불어 연소실내 공기유동 현상에 대한 연구가 주요 관심대상이 되어왔다. LDV를 이용한 3-D 유속측정 및 각종 CFD Code를 이용한 유동해석등의 방법으로 엔진 실린더 내부의 유동현상을 이해하는데 많은 도움이 되고 있으나 아직도 엔진연소실설계 등 엔진 개발에 있어서는 종래의 방법에 의한 실린더내 와류 강도의 비교평가에 크게 의존하고 있으므로 여기서는 디젤 엔진의 와류를 측정 평가하는 방법으로 Paddle Wheel회전을 이용한 Paddle Wheel식 Swirl Meter방식과 실린더내 흡입공기의 각 운동량을 측정하는 Impulse식 Swirl Meter 방식에 대해 고찰하고자 한다.

A test on venturi-type premixer of ASE120 engine combustor has been performed to evaluate its mixing performance. Cold air was supplied into the premixer through the fuel nozzle and mixed with the hot air from the compressor exit. The measured temperature of the mixed air was used to evaluate the mixedness. DOE(Design of Experiment) technique was utilized to make a test matrix of variables and to determine the optimum combination of variables, which was verified through a confirmation test.

Generally speaking, natural gas possesses several characteristics that make it desirable as an engine fuel : for example (1) lower production cost, (2) abundant commodity and (3) cleaner energy source than gasoline. Due to the physical characteristics of natural gas, the volumetric efficiency and flame speed of a natural gas engine are lower than those of a gasoline engine, which results in a power loss of 10-20% when compared to a convensional gasoline engine. This paper describes the results of a research to improve the performance of a natural gas engine through the modification and controls of air/fuel ratio, spark timing advance and supercharging effect by forced air supply method.

Mixing characteristics and backdraft dynamics were investigated using large eddy simulation for compartments initially filled with methane fuel. Four different opening geometries, i.e. conventional door opening case (Door) and the cases where horizontal door was implemented on the upper ($Slot_U$), middle ($Slot_M$) and lower part ($Slot_L$) of side wall, were considered in the simulations. For cases without ignition, the amounts of inflow oxygen and outflow fuel from the compartment opening were, from largest to smallest, Door > $Slot_U$ ~ $Slot_M$ > $Slot_L$. However, the fuel and oxygen were the best mixed for the $Slot_U$ case while the fuel and oxygen were not well mixed and in relatively separated two layers for the $Slot_L$ case. The global equivalence ratio defined by the amounts of fuel and oxygen in the compartment was not correlated reasonably with the peak pressure of backdraft. The peak pressure during backdraft was the highest for the $Slot_U$ case, a well mixed condition of fuel and air, and backdraft was not found for the $Slot_L$ where the pressure rise was not so high due to the mixing status. The peak pressures for the Door and $Slot_M$ cases were in between Door and $Slot_L$ cases. The peak pressure during backdraft was well correlated with the total amount of heat release until the instance of backdraft occurrence.

In this paper, the combustion improvement effects of alcohol-diesel oil blend fuel were investigated in a visualization engine. As a result of experiment, it was found out that the combustion chamber of deep dish type and re-entrant type at the same operation condition. However, when the con-tent of alcohol exceeded 10% of total fuel delivery, the combustion of alcohol-diesel oil blend fuel was worse than that of diesel oil. The maximum blend quantity of ethanol which is not ignited in the re-entrant type combustion chamber was estimated at approximately 40% of total fuel delivery. So, it is necessary to blend appropriate quantity of a volatility fuel such as alcohol in order to improve combustion.

The mixing characteristics of pylon injection in a Scramjet combustor and effects of film cooling to protect pylon from air-heating were investigated. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model were used. Fuel hydrogen and air were considered as coolants. There were remarkable improvements of penetration and mixing rate with the pylon injection. There was also over-heating on the front surface of the pylon without film cooling. The coolant injected parallel to the front surface of the pylon protects the pylon from over-heating.
