Supersonic and hypersonic aircrafts must pass wide range of speed to reach high speed region. But for existing engines the most efficient operating speed ranges are decided according to their flying speed, so an engine which mixes several engines like TRJ (Turbo Ramjet) and ARJ (Air Turbo Ramjet) has been planed. This mixed type engine has inefficiency that more than two engines must be installed simultaneously, but the pulse detonation engine (PDE) that uses detonation wave has a strong point that it can operate in all speed range with single engine. This paper deals with the simulation of the pulse detonation engine which uses hydrogen peroxide $(H_2O_2)$ mono propellant. Hydrogen peroxide is low-cost propellant, and it is reacted without oxidizer. Comparison between $H_2-O_2$ mixture with $H_2O_2$ mono propellant about thrust, pressure, temperature and velocity shows that $H_2O_2$ is a very useful propellant.

Three-dimensional numerical study was carried out for the investigation of the detonation wave structures propagating in tubes. Fluid dynamics equations and conservation equation of reaction progress variable were analyzed by a MUSCL-type TVD scheme and four stage Runge-Kutta time integration. Chemical reaction was modeled by using a simplified one-step irreversible kinetics model. The variable gas properties between unburned and burned states were considered by using variable specific heat ratio formulation. The unsteady computational results in three-dimension show the detailed mechanisms of rectangular and diagonal mode of detonation wave instabilities resulting same cell length but different cell width in smoked-foil record. The results for the small reaction constant shows the spinning mode of three-dimensional detonation wave dynamics, which was rarely observed in the previous numerical simulation of the detonation waves.

Ethanol has properties of a lower setting point, higher oxygen contents, lower cetane numbers, and also higher volatility compared to biodiesel. Thus, biodiesel fuel can be improved in the fluidity of and exhaust emissions by blended ethanol fuel. This research aims to understand combustion characteristics of biodiesel-ethanol blending fuel inside a constant volume chamber by obtaining some fundamental data in order to improve combustion atmosphere. To understand the physics of combustion, high speed camera was applied to visualize the development of combustion processes, and combustion pressure and exhaust emission were measured at several blending ratios of ethanol and biodiesel fuel. This information may contribute to improve the performance of biodiesel engine and reduce emissions in future.

Oxy-fuel combustion has been gaining its significance as a means of migrating the green house effects. Some experimental measurements were conducted to investigate the characteristics of oxy-fuel combustion and to aid a fundamental design of a lab-scale oxy-fuel combustor with a coaxial burner. CO emission was measured along the combustor centerline while combustion of methane and oxygen diluted by CO2 took place. Substitution of CO2 with N2 indicates a possibility that some CO is formed by dissociation of CO2. Some parametric tests were also performed to see the mixing effects of reactant gases on CO emission by changing the gas injection velocity at the burner nozzles with various heat loads. The overall results indicate that CO emission was reduced when the reactants are injected at higher velocities of similar magnitude.

Reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) combustion is one of dual-fuel combustion systems which can be constructed by early diesel injection during the compression stroke to improve premixing between diesel and air. As a result, RCCI combustion promises low nitrogen oxides (NOx) and smoke emissions comparing to those of general dual-fuel combustion. For this combustion system, to meet the intensified emission regulations without emission after-treatment systems, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is necessary to reduce combustion temperature with lean premixed mixture condition. However, since EGR is supplied from the front of turbocharger system, intake pressure and the amount of fresh air supplementation are decreased as increasing EGR rate. For this reason, the effect of various EGR rates on the brake power and thermal efficiency of natural gas/diesel RCCI combustion under two different operating conditions in a 6 L compression ignition engine. Varying EGR rate would influence on the combustion characteristic and boosting condition simultaneously. For the 1,200/29 kW and 1,800 rpm/(lower than) 90 kW conditions, NOx and smoke emissions were controlled lower than the emission regulation of 'Tier-4 final' and the maximum in-cylinder pressure was 160 bar for the indurance of engine system. The results showed that under 1,200 rpm/29 kW condition, there were no changes in brake power and thermal efficiency. On the other hand, under 1,800 rpm condition, brake power and thermal efficieny were decreased from 90 to 65 kW and from 37 to 33 % respectively, because of deceasing intake pressure (from 2.3 to 1.8 bar). Therefore, it is better to supply EGR from the rear of compressor, i.e. low pressure EGR (LP-EGR) system, comparing to high pressure EGR (HP-EGR) for the improvement of RCCI power and thermal efficiency.

A real-scale combustion test was conducted on a vinyl flooring in a divided space, with 50 mL of an inflammable liquid sprayed on it. The combustion behavior of the vinyl flooring was studied in real time, and the carbonization patterns of the surface and cross-sections of the carbonized vinyl floor were analyzed. When the flame ignited by gasoline reached its peak, a continuously flaming region, intermittent flaming region, plume region, etc., were formed. The combustion of 50 mL gasoline on vinyl flooring took 26 s, and a halo pattern was observed. This test involved spraying kerosene evenly on the vinyl flooring and attempting to ignite the flooring using a gas torch, which failed. After the combustion of the vinyl flooring was complete, its carbonized range was measured to be 600 mm in length and 380 mm in width, and the carbonized area was 1000 ㎟. Heat transformed the coated layer of surface of the carbonized vinyl flooring into a carbonized layer, which became harder. The analysis of cross-section of the boundary surface of the carbonized vinyl flooring using a stereoscopic microscope showed that the vinyl flooring was bubbling, and that the white boundary layer at the bottom of the coated layer had disappeared.

The ultimate objective of this study is to develop a reliable oxygen-enriched combustion techniques especially for the case of the flue gas recycling in order to reduce the $CO_2$ emissions from practical industrial boilers. To this end a systematic numerical investigation has been performed, as a first step, for the resolution of the combusting flame characteristics of lab-scale LNG combustor. One of the important parameters considered in this study is the level of flue gas recycling calculated in oxygen enriched environment. As a summary of flame characteristics, for the condition of 100% pure $O_2$ as oxidizer without any flue gas recycling, the flame appears as long and thin laminar-like shape with relatively high flame temperature. The feature of high peak of flame temperature is explained by the absence of dilution and heat loss effects due to the presence of $N_2$ inert gas. The same reasoning is also applicable to the laminarized thin flame one, which is attributed to the decrease of the turbulent mixing. These results are physically acceptable and consistent and further generally in good agreement with experimental results appeared in open literature. As the level of $CO_2$ recycling increases in the mixture of $O_2/CO_2$, the peak flame temperature moves near the burner region due to the enhanced turbulent mixing by the increased amount of flow rate of oxidizer stream. However, as might be expected, the flue gas temperature decreases due to presence of $CO_2$ gas together with the inherent feature of large specific heat of this gas. If the recycling ratio more than 80%, gas temperatures drop so significantly that a steady combustion flame can no longer sustain within the furnace. However, combustion in the condition of 30% $O_2/70% $ $CO_2$ can produce similar gas temperature profiles to those of conventional combustion in air oxidizer. An indepth analyses have been made for the change of flame characteristics in the aspect of turbulent intensity and heat balance.

Inha Rocket Research Institute has made the igniter that is combination of black powder and PVA polymer for ignition small rocket. But recent igniter is not satisfy because of the performance of igniter is not identified. So, we confirmed requirement of igniter by comparing of ratio of black powder and PVA through experimental method. Especially we studied with ignition temperature for propellant and stable combustion pressure that is requirements of propellant. We can know the tendency of combustion properties by ratio of oxidizer and combustion catalyst through changing of temperature and pressure of exhaust gas of igniter.

In this paper, combustion tests were performed to investigate performance characteristics of a canted slit-type pintle injector engine which uses kerosene and liquid oxygen as propellants. The number of slits, slit angle and blockage factor were chosen as design variables of the pintle injector. ${\Delta}SR$ was newly defined as the difference of skip ratio caused by both sides of the tip of the canted slit. The experimental results showed that optimal combustion was performed when the blockage factor is about 1 and the difference is less than 0.26.
