Experimental investigation on flame spread along suspended droplet arrays have been conducted with various droplet spacings and ambient air velocities. Especially, an opposed air stream is introduced to simulate fundamental flame spread behaviors in spray combustion. High-speed chemiluminescence imaging technique of OH radicals has been adopted to measure flame spread rates and to observe various flame spread behaviors. The fuel used is n-Decane and the air velocity varies from 0 to 17cm/s. The pattern of flame spread is grouped into two: a continuous mode and an intermittent one. It is found that there exists droplet spcings, above which flame spread does not occur. The increase of ambient air velocity causes the limit droplet spacing of flame spread to become small due to the increase of apparent flame stretch. As the ambient air velocity decreases, flame spread rate increases and then decreases after taking a maximum flame spread rate. This suggests that there exists a moderate air flowing to give a maximum flame spread rate due to enhanced chemical reaction by the increase of oxidizer concentration.

In long vertical duct, the aspect of second flame in laminar flame propagating through lycopodium-air mixtures and the behavior of dust particles in neighborhood in front of flame have been examined experimentally. In order to trace the development of second flame to its origin, the velocity and vorticity distribution of dust particles in front of flame were measured by using with the real-time PIV system. The velocity of particles was approximately zero at the central part of flame front and the ahead of the flame leading edge, but maximum near the duct wall. The flame velocity of second flame and the movement of leading flame edge depend mainly on behavior of dust particles by the flow distribution of temperature and pressure.

Characteristics of laminar lifted flames of propane highly-diluted with nitrogen have been investigated at various temperatures of coflow air. At various fuel mole fractions, the base of laminar lifted flames has the structure of tribrachial (or triple) flame. The liftoff heights are correlated well with the stoichiometric laminar burning velocity considering initial temperature at a given coflow velocity. It shows that lifted flames are stabilized on the basis of the balance mechanism between local flow velocity and the propagation speed of tribrachial flame, regardless of the temperature of coflow and fuel mole fraction. Lifted flames exist for a jet velocity even smaller than the stoichiometric laminar burning velocity, and liftoff velocity increases more rapidly than stoichiometric laminar burning velocity as coflow temperature increases. These can be attributed to the buoyancy effect due to the density difference.

The influence of inlet air humidity on the flame velocity and combustion of the spark ignition engine were described experimentally by means of the flame velocity measuring apparatus using ion-current. The flame velocity are greatly influenced air fuel ratio and engine speed, and linealy decrease according to the increasing of inlet air humidity. The flame travell curve is very similar to the rate of mass burned and combustion progressive is estimated mostly by only the rate of mass burned curve. The decreasing of the mean flame velocity is about 0.4m/s for increasing of 0.001 specific humidity and we think the reason is mainly decreasing of thermal conductivity.

부상화염에 대한 연소반응 유동 수치해석을 수행하여 부상높이에 대한 기존 연구 결과들과 비교를 통하여 수치해석 결과의 신뢰성을 검정하였다. 화염전파속도를 결정하는 유동방향변환점을 기존의 연구에서처럼 연료분출속도에 상관없이 일률적인 위치로 선정할 경우 많은 오차를 유발하기 때문에 본 연구에서는 부상화염에서 이론당량비선을 따라 유동속도와 스칼라 소산율 특성을 살펴보았고 화염전파속도를 선정하는 유동방향변환점을 타당하게 선정하는 방법을 정립하였다. 이를 토대로 화염전파속도와 스칼라소산율의 관계식을 도출하여 부상화염에서 화염전파속도 특성을 규명하였다.

본 연구에서는 폭발사고가 반복되고 있는 마그네슘합금(Mg-Al alloy) 분진의 동종재해 예방대책을 위한 안전자료로 활용하기 위하여 폭발특성을 실험적으로 조사하고 화염전파속도를 추정하였다. 화염전파속도는 폭발과 압력 강도에 영향을 주지만 분진폭발에서는 화염의 확산에 따른 피해예측에도 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있다. 실험은 마그네슘합금(평균입경 151~161 ${\mu}m$)의 성분비에 따른 폭발특성을 조사하였으며, 밀폐공간의 분진폭발에서 화염전파속도를 계산하기 위하여 분진의 연소시간과 화염면의 도달시간을 고려하고 폭발압력으로부터 추정하는 방법을 사용하였다. 그 결과, Mg-Al(60:40 wt%), Mg-Al(50:50 wt%), Mg-Al(40:60 wt%)의 최대화염전파속도는 각각 15.5, 18, 15.2 m/s가 얻어졌으며 성분비율에 따라 최대화염속도는 변화하는 경향을 나타냈다.

This paper describes the forced flame response in a turbulent premixed gas turbine combustor. The fuel was premixed with the air upstream of a choked inlet to avoid equivalence ratio fluctuations. To impose the inlet flow velocity, a siren type modulation device was developed using an AC motor, rotating and static plates. Measurements were made of the velocity fluctuation in the nozzle using hot wire anemometry and of the heat release fluctuation in the combustor using chemiluminescence emission. The test results showed that flame length as well as geometry was strongly dependent upon modulation frequency in addition to operating conditions such as inlet velocity. Convection delay time between the velocity perturbation and heat release fluctuations was calculated using phase information of the transfer function, which agreed well with the results of flame length measurements. Also, basic characteristics of the flame nonlinear response shown in the current test conditions were introduced.

To reveal the newly found liftoff height behavior of hydrogen jet, we have experimentally studied the stabilization mechanism of turbulent, lifted jet flames in a non-premixed condition. The objectives of the present research are to report the phenomenon of a liftoff height decreasing as increasing fuel velocity, to analyse the flame structure and behavior of the lifted jet, and to explain the mechanisms of flame stability in hydrogen turbulent non-premixed jet flames. The velocity of hydrogen was varied from 100 to 300m/s and a coaxial air velocity was fixed at 16m/s with a coflow air less than 0.1m/s. For the simultaneous measurement of velocity field and reaction zone. PIV and OH PLIF technique was used with two Nd:Yag lasers and CCD cameras. As results, it has been found that the stabilization of lifted hydrogen diffusion flames is related with a turbulent intensity, which means that combustion occurs where the local flow velocity is valanced with the turbulent flame propagation velocity.

본 연구에서는 석송자 분진입자의 거동에 관한 실험적 연구결과를 바탕으로 한 분진화염 전파모델을 제시하였다. 화염전파속도는 분진농도와 함께 증가하여 석송자의 화학양론농도보다 높은 $170g/m^3$에서 최대로 나타났으며 $500g/m^3$까지 완만하게 감소 경향을 나타낸다. 농도 $47{\sim}200g/m^3$에 있어서, 분진입자속도는 화염전파속도에 비례하여 증가한다. 또한, 연소속도와 입자속도의 합이 화염전파속도에 근사한 값을 나타내고 있어, 분진농도에 따른 화염전파속도를 계산에 의해 추정이 가능하였으며, 입자의 거동이 분진의 화염전파속도를 이해하는데 유용하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This article describes a comparison on laminar burning velocity measured by Bunsen and spherical flame methods of synthetic natural gas (SNG) with various composition of hydrogen. In this study, the laminar burning velocity measurements were employed by Bunsen burner and cylindrical constant combustor at which flame images were captured by Schlieren system. These results were also compared with numerical based on CHEMKIN package with GRI 3.0, USC-II and UC Sandiego mechanism. In case of spherical flames, the suitable flame radius range and theoretical models were verified using the well-known previous results in methane/air flames. As an experimental condition, hydrogen content of SNG was adjusted 0% to 11%. Equivalence ratios of Bunsen flames were adjusted from 0.8 to 1.6. On the other hand, those of spherical flames were adjusted from 0.6 to 1.4, relatively. From results of this study, the both laminar burning velocities measured in Bunsen and spherical flame methods were resulted in similar tendency. As the hydrogen content increased, the laminar burning velocity also increased collectively. Laminar burning velocity of measured SNG-air flames was best coincided with GRI 3.0 mechanism by comparison of reaction mechanisms.
