In this study, pre-processor code based on structural behavior of coal is applied to predict yields, pyrolysis rate and compositions of volatile and char. These parameters are used in the devolatilization and char burnout sub-models as user-defined functions of commercial CFD code. The predicted characteristics of these sub-models are compared with those employing the conventional model based on experiment and validated against the measurement of a 2.1 MW swirling pulverized coal flame in a semi-industrial scale furnace. And the influence of the turbulence-chemistry interaction on pulverized coal combustion is analyzed.

The effect of swirl flow structures on combustion dynamics of two interacting, lean-premixed flames was experimentally investigated, with a particular emphasis on swirl numbers and swirl rotational directions. Our results show that the amplitude of limit cycle oscillations is very sensitive to the combination of swirl numbers and rotational directions, while the instability frequency remains nearly unchanged. The counter-rotating cases show significantly lower pressure perturbations, and this behavior appears to be related to the formation of compact interacting zone with higher heat release rate, indicating the presence of increased flame surface wrinkling caused by intense turbulence.

The aim of this study is to numerically investigate a compact reformer system currently under development and to design a better reforming system with more efficient heat transfer and reforming reactions. Numerical models were established separately for both the combustion part and the reforming reaction part. A comparison between the calculation results and experimental data showed that the concentration of the reformate at the exit of the reforming system was in good agreement with the measured data, but for the temperature at the exit little difference between them was found. After checking the validity of the numerical models, the heat transfer between the combustion gas and reforming catalysts was estimated and the behavior of the catalyst bed was investigated as a function of the operation parameters.

Soot formation and oxidation is closely related to the combustion phenomena inside a diesel engine. Laser-based diagnostics provide a means for improving our understanding of diesel combustion, because they have highly temporal and spatial ability. To understand the soot behavior we did preliminary study by taking flame luminosity photographs and 2-D imaging soot distribution using Laser Elastic Scattering(LIS) and Laser-Induced Incandescence(LII). From the data we found that soot concentration was high in the bowl and disappeared from the central region in the late combustion stage.

Combustion behavior of Fe, CuO, NiO, ZnO and $Fe_2O_3$ powder mixture was carried out by finite element method (FEM) to understand a reaction at iron and metal oxide interface. The FEM was done by using ANSYS Fluent 17.0. Initial and boundary conditions are 1 atmosphere, room temperature, 0.1MPa of oxygen partial pressure, $T_{S1}=1127^{\circ}C$, $T_{S2}=327^{\circ}C$ for a cylindrical shape specimen with dia. $35{\times}80$ [mm]. The maximum combustion temperature is $1537^{\circ}C$ for the condition of conduction, convection and radiation. The combustion temperature and rate are about $847^{\circ}C$ and 3.9mm/sec, respectively. The combustion wave is enough to make ternary ferrite phase like $CuNiZnFe_2O_3$.

Besides the fuel spray behavior and combustion chamber shape. an air motion has a key role on exhaust gas emission and performance in a DI diesel engine. A swirl ratio represents the ratio of the intake swirl velocity to the engine speed. The main purpose in this work is to investigate the effects of the swirl ratio to the combustion characteristics. A shroud valve machined to change the swirl ratio. Test was carry out by changing the engine speed, nozzle diameter and swirl ratio in a single cylinder diesel engine. From this study, the optimized combustion was found at swirl ratio 2.7. And it was also found that the increasing the maximum cylinder pressure with an increasing swirl ratio lead to decrease a smoke and to increase NOx.

A series of hybrid rocket combustion experiments were carried out with PMMA/GOx changing diameter and length of the disk installed at pre-chamber. The disk can generate vortex shedding flow and change flow conditions prior to entering the fuel grain which could also alter the combustion characteristics and pressure oscillations. The interaction of vortex shedding in the pre-chamber and small-scale vortices adjacent to burning surfaces by using combustion test.

The objective of this study is to analyze the basic flame behavior characteristics using the single fuel droplet combustion of diesel, palm-based biodiesel, and canola-based biodiesel. The results were compared and analyzed through the post processed image, which was applied the threshold level for removing noise in the raw image. The raw image was taken by a high-speed camera during the entire combustion process. At the same time, the maximum flame length, which was measured by the application code of the MATLAB program, the ignition delay, and the combustion period were compared and analyzed.

Mechanical and physical properties of a copper alloy for a liquid rocket engine(LRE) combustion chamber liner application were tested at various temperatures. All test specimens were heat treated with the condition they might experience during actual fabrication process of the LRE combustion chamber. Physical properties measured include thermal conductivity, specific heat and thermal expansion data. Uniaxial tension tests were preformed to get mechanical properties at several temperatures ranging from room temperature to 600$^{\circ}C$. The result demonstrated that yield stress and ultimate tensile stress of the copper alloy decreases considerably and strain hardening increases as the result of the heat treatment. Since the LRE combustion chamber operates at higher temperature over 400$^{\circ}C$, the copper alloy can exhibit time-dependent behavior. Strain rate, creep and stress relaxation tests were performed to check the time-dependent behavior of the copper alloy. Strain rate tests revealed that strain rate effect is negligible up to 400$^{\circ}C$ while stress-strain curve is changed at 500$^{\circ}C$ as the strain rate is changed. Creep tests were conducted at 250$^{\circ}C$ and 500$^{\circ}C$ and the secondary creep rate was found to be very small at both temperatures implying that creep effect is negligible for the combustion chamber liner because its operating time is quite short.

In this study, the solution combustion method was employed to synthesize perovskite PZT ceramics. Multicomponent oxides can be prepared by the solution combustion synthesis using redox exothermic reaction of precursor solutions. The results of DTA/TG showed exothermic peaks in 214$^{\circ}C$ and 350$^{\circ}C$. Those were caused by the differences of the thermal decomposition behavior of oxidizer and fuel. The combustion reaction was completed at 370$^{\circ}C$ during heating procedure, but the product was not transformed into perovskite. The thermal decomposition behavior of both oxidizer and fuel were considered during solution combustion process at 600$^{\circ}C$, which showed tetragonal single phase PZT ceramics with 50 nm crystalline size. The lattice constant a was 3.997 ${\pm}$ 0.001 ${\AA}$ and the lattice constant c was 4.147${\pm}$0.001 ${\AA}$.
