Planar laser-induced fluorescence(PLIF) has been widely used to obtain two dimensional fuel distribution. Acetone PLIF is chosen because fluorescence signal from acetone as a fluorescent tracer is less sensitive to oxygen quenching than other dopants. Acetone PLIF is applied to measure quantitative air excess ratio distribution in an engine fueled with LPG. Acetone is excited by KrF excimer laser (248nm) and its fluorescence image is acquired by ICCD camera with a cut-off filter to suppress Mie scattering from the laser light. For the purpose of quantifying PLIF signal, an image processing method including the correction of laser sheet beam profile is suggested. Raw images are divided by each intensity of laser energy and profile of laser sheet beam. Inhomogeneous fluorescence images scaled with the reference data, which is taken by a calibration process, are converted to air excess ratio distribution. This investigation shows instantaneous quantitative measurement of planar air excess ratio distribution for gaseous fuel.

A non-intrusive measurement, Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence was employed to visualize and measure the fuel distribution of the non-reacting field at the burner exit of gas turbine combustor. Measurement techniques, image processing method and quantification procedure were presented. Also, concentration measurement with gas analyzer was carried out to verify the propriety of PLIF result. The PLIF result coincides well with gas analyzer measurement result. PLIF test result for several other conditions are mentioned as well.

The fluorescence ratio method for processing planar laser induced fluorescence(PLIF) data was generalized for quantitative imaging of the injectant mole-fraction in supersonic mixing flowfields. The original fluorescence ratio approach was introduced by Hartfield et al. for tests in a special closed-loop wind tunnel to eliminate the effects of thermodynamic property variations in compressible flowfields and to provide a quantitative means of mole-fraction measurement. However, they implicitly assumed that the tracer molecules were seeded at the same fraction in both main and secondary flows. In the present study, we proposed generalizing the Hartfield method by considering differences in the tracer seeding rates. We examined the generalized method in a mixing flowfield formed by sonic transverse injection into a Mach 1.8 supersonic air stream. The injectant molefraction distribution obtained from PLIF data processed by our new approach showed better agreement with the gas chromatograph than one based on the Hartfield method.

Self flue gas recirculation flow is an effective method for low NOx emission in the regenerative low NOx burner. The object of this study is to analyze the self flue gas recirculating flow by varying jet velocity of the combustion air. Fuel and air flow rates are fixed and combustion air jet nozzle diameters are 13, 6.5 and 5mm. The stoichiometric line is obtained from the concentration of the fuel using an acetone PLIF technique. It is found that the self flue gas recirculating flow is entrained into that line using a two color PIV technique. As the jet velocity of combustion air is increased, the flue gas entrainment rate into the stoichiometric line is increased. This result suggests that NOx emission can be reduced due to the effects of flue gas which is lowering the flame temperatures.

공명 주파수의 음파로 가진된 비예혼합 분류화염에서 가진 강도에 대한 영향을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 이를 위해 Mie 산란광 단면법, PLIF, PIV 등 광학적 가시화 방법이 사용되었다. 가진된 분류화염의 부상경로는 연료유량 및 가진 강도에 따라 크게 세 가지 영역으로 구분되는데, 비교적 큰 가진 강도에서 부상될 때 화염기저가 마치 난류화염처럼 부상되는 영역I과 작은 가진 강도에서 쉽게 부상되는 영역II 그리고 이 두 영역들 사이에서 부상된 화염기저가 부분 예혼합의 분젠화염과 같은 형태로 과도기적 영역이 존재함을 알았다. 본 연구에서는 영역I과 II로 구분되는 부상경로 차이에 대한 이해를 높이고자 가진 위상에 따른 노즐과 화염기저간의 유동 혼합과 속도 분포 특성을 아세톤 PLIF와 PIV 시스템을 사용하여 조사하였다.

In coflow jets with relatively large size nozzle and low fuel jet velocity, the buoyancy effect arises from the density difference between fuel and air streams. The present study investigated the behavior of such a buoyant cold Jet both numerically and experimentally, especially when the fuel stream has higher density than air. It has been demonstrated that the cold jet has a circular cone shape since upwardly injected fuel jet decelerates and forms a stagnation region, when the fuel jet was composed of propane highly diluted with nitrogen. When the fuel was moderately diluted, numerical results showed the Kelvin-Helmholtz type instability along the mixing layer of the jet. The stagnation height increases nonlihearly with fuel jet velocity with the power of approximately 1.64.

Measurements of flame length, width and NOx emissions have been conducted to investigate the effect of an acoustic excitation on flame structure in turbulent hydrogen diffusion flames with coaxial air. The resonance frequency of oscillations was varied between 259 ,514 and 728 Hz with power rate of 0.405 and 2.88w. When these frequencies imposed to hydrogen flames, dramatic reduction of flame length and NOx emission was achieved. And acetone planar laser-induced fluorescence technique was used to measure a concentration of the near field of driven axisymmetric jet. The air-fuel stoichiometric line was plotted to investigate the mixing layer and development of air entrainment to fuel jet. Consequently, acoustic excitation on flame could enhance the air-fuel mixing resulting in abatement of NOx emission quantitatively.

Mach 1.8의 동축공기를 갖는 수소 난류 화산 화염의 특성을 이해하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 화염길이와 연료유동의 자취에 대한 직접사진, Acetone PLIF, Mie scattering, 수치해석법을 이용하여 화염의 구조를 분석하였다. 연료의 유속를 고정시켰을 때, 공기의 유속 증가에 따른 변화를 측정하였다. 아음속 화염의 길이는 급격히 감소한 반면, 초음속 화염의 길이는 완만하게 증가하였다. 또한 연료 노즐 립의 두께 변화에 따른 화염의 소염 특성을 관찰하였다. 노즐 립의 두께에 따라 화염 안정성이 증가하였는데 이는 초음속 화염의 안정화를 위한 최소 두께 값이 존재함을 나타낸다. 유동장 구조를 분석한 결과, 연료 제트가 고압영역에 가로 막혀서 축방향 모멘텀을 잃고, 저산란 영역이 만들어지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 모멘텀을 잃은 연료가 재순환 영역을 따라 순환하면서 긴 체류시간을 갖기 때문에 예혼합 영역이 만들어 졌음이 밝혀졌다.
