Characteristics of the fuel injection and entrainment of the primary air of gas burner have been investigated. Primary air flow rates that entrained by gas streams play major role to control the performance of the partially premixed combustion. Pressure distributions of mixing tube assembly are studied as major parameter for increasing the primary air flow rates. Buoyancy-effect burner is proposed as one alternative to improve the pressure distribution. Buoyancy effect caused by metal ring placed around the flame holes reduces pressure of the entrance of the mixing tube and that, entrained air flow rates are increased.

풀화재에서 화염진동은 주위공기와의 밀도차에 의한 부력효과에 기인하여 주로 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 부력이 지배적인 풀화재의 불안전성에 대하여 산화제유속의 효과를 검토하기 위해 컵버너 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과는 진동주파수가 산화제의 유속이 증가함에 따라 감소함을 보인다. 무차원 변수로 표현되는 주파수와 부력의 관계로 도시하였을 때 다양한 속도스케일을 사용할 수 있었지만, 연료와 산화제의 유속차로 정의되는 특성속도인 경우에 정지되어 있는 공기중에서의 풀화재 진동과 일치하는 관계식을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 사실은 부력이 지배적인 화염에서 불안전성의 원인은 전단면에서의 Kelvin-Helmholtz 불안전성이 주된 기구라는 것을 증명해준다. 산화제의 농도를 변화시켰을 경우에는 산화제의 불활성기체의 농도가 증가할수록 청염의 길이가 길어지고 컵버너 끝단으로부터 부상되는 것이 관찰된다. 또한 진동주파수는 희석율과는 특정한 관계를 보이지 않는데 이는 국부적 화염구조와 연관성을 가지기 때문으로 판단된다.

Characteristics of lifted flame for highly diluted propane with nitrogen in high temperature coflowing air have been experimentally investigated, and the stabilization mechanism of lifted flame in high temperature air coflow have been proposed. As the coflow temperature increases, the liftoff height of flame decreased due to the increase of stoichiometry laminar burning velocity. At same coflow temperature, the difference of liftoff height between the fuel mole fractions has been disappeared by scaling the liftoff velocity with stoichiometry laminar burning velocity. It has been found that lifted flame can be stabilized for even smaller fuel velocity than stoichiometry laminar burning velocity. This can be attributed to buoyancy effect and the liftoff velocity characteristics for coflow temperature support it.

In this study, soot formation characteristics on the instability of laminar diffusion flames were investigated experimentally using a concentric co-flow burner. When a small amount of air was supplied through an inner nozzle, a stable propane laminar diffusion flame became unstable and began to oscillate mainly due to the dilution effect. The increase of air flow rate transformed an oscillating non-sooting flame into a stable nonsooting flame. When the air flow rate was continuously increased an inner flame was formed and the flame was changed to an oscillating sooting flame, an oscillating non-sooting flame and finally a stable non-sooting hollow flame. When the air flow rate was decreased, a non-sooting hollow flame was eventually changed back to a stable non-sooting flame. The presence of an inner flame, however, altered the soot formation characteristics of a flame. More soot production was observed with the presence of an inner flame. The increased or decreased soot formation/oxidation rates, the radiation heat loss, and the heating effect of inner flames are most likely to be responsible for the observed instability of laminar diffusion flames.

The deposition behavior of soot particles in a diffusion flame along a solid wall was examined experimentally by getting rid of the effect of natural convection utilizing microgravity environment. The microgravity environment was realized by using a drop tower facility. The fuel for the flame was an ethylene ($C_2H_4$) and the surrounding oxygen concentration 35% with the surrounding air velocity of $V_a$=2.5, 5, and 10 cm/s. Laser extinction method was adopted to measure the soot volume fraction distribution between the flame and burner wall. The results show that observation of soot deposition in normal flame was difficult from buoyancy and the relative position of flame and solid surface changes with time. The soot particle distribution region moves closer to the surface of the wall as the surrounding air velocity is increased. And the experiments determined the trace of the maximum soot concentration line. It was found that the distance between soot line and flame line is around 5 mm. That is, the soot particle near the flame zone tends to move away from flame zone because of thermophoretic force and to concentrate at a certain narrow area inside of the flame, finally, to adhere the solid wall.
