축대칭 곡면벽 제트 버너를 제작하여 화염의 안정화 특성을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 축대칭 곡면벽 제트 유동은 난류 강도의 증가와 더불어 버너 선단 부근에 재순환 영역을 형성하여 화염의 안정화를 촉진시킴으로서 기존의 튜브 버너에 비하여 화염의 안정화 특성이 향상되었다. 시간적으로 화염의 위치가 변동하는 난류 화염에서 화염의 안정화 특성과 밀접한 관계가 있는 OH 라디칼과 온도를 PLIF와 CARS를 각각 적용하여 측정하였다. 고유속으로 연소시키는 경우에 버너 선단에 형성된 재순환 영역에 OH 라디칼이 상당량 분포하고 있었으며 통계적으로 고온을 유지하였다. 이는 버너 선단에 형성되는 재순환 영역에 고온의 기연 가스가 점화원 역할을 하여 화학 반응이 활발하게 일어나고 있음을 의미한다. 이러한 결과로부터 고속의 출구유속에서 화염 안정화 특성은 재순환 영역에 의하여 영향을 받고 있음을 확인하였다.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effects of an ultrasonic standing-wave field to the behavior of methane/air premixed flame. Visualization technique utilizing the schlieren method was employed for the observation of premixed flame behavior. The shape of flame front and local flame velocity were measured according to the variation of reactants pressure and chamber opening/closing condition. The flame front was distorted and severely deformed to a lotus-type flame by the interaction of ultrasonic standing-wave and the reflection wave coming from an end wall of reactor.

The paper describes an experimental investigation of axisymmetric diesel spray and flame which is held in rapid compression machine (RCM) with electromagnetic single injection nozzle. The axisymmetric diesel spray and flame are taken with high speed photograph and analysis it with image processor. The data presented include fuel concentration of spray, flame temperature, soot concentration of flame in axial and radial direction at a moment and compared it with each other.

An experimental study has been conducted to scrutinize into the influence of ultrasonic standing wave on the propagating behavior and structural stabilization of propane/air premixed flame at various equivalence ratios in half-open rectangular duct. Evolutionary features of the flame fronts are caught by high-speed images, and the variation of flame structure and local flame velocities along the propagation are analyzed. It is revealed that the propagation velocity agitated by the ultrasonic standing wave is greater than that without the agitation: the velocity enhancement diminishes as the equivalence ratio approaches the stoichiometric. Influence of standing wave on the flame overwhelms that of the buoyancy which slants the flame front towards top of the duct, and thus the standing wave contributes to the structural stabilization of propane/air premixed flame.

An investigation into the influence of ultrasonic standing wave on the structural behavior of propane/air premixed flame has been made to get a clue to the combustion reaction acceleration and combustion instability, as well. Visualization technique utilizing the Schlieren method was employed for the observation of structural variation of the premixed flame. The flame shape and propagation velocity were measured according to the variation of equivalence ratio. It was found that the standing wave distorted the flame front and expedited a transition to the flame with turbulent nature.

This study is conducted to scrutinize agitation effects of an ultrasonic standing wave on the dynamic behavior of methane/air premixed flame. The propagating flame is caught by high-speed schlieren images, through which flame front and local flame velocity are analyzed and obtained, too. It is revealed that the propagation velocity with ultrasonic standing wave is larger than the case without excitation except around the flammability limits. Also, vertical locations of distortions and depth of dents of the front are constant, unless the ultrasonic standing wave characteristics are not changed.

An experimental study has been conducted to scrutinize into the influence of ultrasonic standing wave field on the variation of methane/air premixed flame structure. Visualization technique utilizing the Schlieren method is employed for the observation of premixed flame propagation. The shape of flame front and local flame velocity are measured according to the variation of reactants pressure and chamber opening/closing condition. The flame fronts affected by the standing wave are clearly distorted but the vertical locations of frontal dents do not undergo any appreciable change. The influence of standing wave on the flame front becomes more prominent as the flame propagates downward. It is found that the propagation velocity of flame front with excitation of standing wave is greater than the case without the excitation. It is eventually revealed that the flame is deformed to lotus-shaped one by the vivid interaction of ultrasonic standing-wave with the reflected wave coming from the right side.

An experimental study was conducted to scrutinize the influence of the frequency of an ultrasonic standing wave on the variation in the behavior of a methane-air premixed flame. The evolutionary features of the propagating flame were captured by a high-speed camera, and the macroscopic flame behavior, including the flame structure and local velocities, was investigated in detail using a post-processing analysis of the high-speed images. It was found that a structural variation and propagation-velocity augmentation of the methane-air premixed flame were caused by the intervention of the ultrasonic standing wave, which enhanced the combustion reaction. Conclusive evidence for the dependency of the flame behaviors on the driving frequency of the ultrasonic standing wave and equivalence ratio of the reactants is presented.

This experimental study has been conducted to scrutinize the effects of an ultrasonic standing wave (USW) on the propagating velocity and structure of methane/air premixed flame. Propagating flame was caught by high-speed Schlieren photography, and the variation of flame-behavior was analyzed in detail. It is revealed that horizontal splitting in burnt zone is resulted by the USW, and the flame propagation velocity is augmented due to the strengthened chemical reaction. Evolutionary feature of the flame perturbed by USW, maintaining a pseudo-symmetry of top and bottom flame-front about the propagation axis tends to be free from buoyancy effect.

An experimental study was carried out in two laboratory-scale reactors to investigate the effect of heating rate on the behavior of flame front in a pulverized coal flame. Each. reactors had different heating mechanisms. For reactor A losing large heat through transparent quartz wall. pulverized coal particles were ignited by secondary air of 1050K. Flame front could be visualized through the transparent wall. Reactor B was insulated with castable refractory to minimize the heat loss through the reactor wall and accompanied with secondary air of 573K. Flame front was estimated from the gas temperature and species concentration measured using R-type thermocouple(Pt-Pt/Rh 13%) and gas chromatograph at various coal-air ratios and swirl intensities. The flame front position was closely related with the magnitude of heating rate. The heating rate for lifted flame was of the order of $10^4$ to $10^5K/s$ and for coal Ignition at least over $10^4K/s$. The heating mechanism had little impact on the extinction limits. The weak swirl number of 0.68 forced the flame front to move toward the upstream by the rapid mixing of coal and air. The primary/secondary momentum ratio was an inappropriate variable to distinct the liftoff of flame.
