Numerical Study with detailed chemistry has been conducted to investigate the flame structure and NOx formation characteristics in oxygen-enhanced$(CH_4/O_2-N_2)$ and oxygen-enhanced-EGR$(CH_4/O_2-CO_2)$ counter diffusion flame with various strain rates. A small amount of $N_2$ is included in oxygen-enhanced-EGR combustion, in order to consider the inevitable $N_2$ contamination by $O_2$ production process or air infiltration. The results are as follows : In $CH_4/O_2-CO_2$ flame it is very important to adopt a radiation effect precisely because the effect of radiation changes flame structure significantly. In $CH_4/O_2-N_2$ flame special strategy to minimize NO emission is needed because it is very sensitive to a small amount of $N_2$. Special attention is needed on CO emission by flame quenching, because of increased CO concentration. Spatial NO production rate of oxygen-enhanced combustion is different from that of air and oxygen-enhanced-EGR combustion in that thermal mechanism plays a role of destruction as well as production. In case $CH_4/O_2-CO_2$ flame contains more than 40% $CO_2$ it is possible to maintain the same EINO as that of $CH_4/Air$ flame with accomplishing higher temperature than that of $CH_4/Air$ flame. EINO decreases with increasing strain rate, and those effects are augmented in $CH_4/O_2$ flame. Complementary study is needed with extending the range of strain rate variation.

Magnesium hydroxide-melamine core-shell particles were prepared through the coating of melamine monomer on the surface of magnesium hydroxide in the presence of phosphoric acid. The melamine monomer was dissolved in hot water but recrystallized on the surface of magnesium hydroxide by quenching to room temperature in the presence of phosphoric acid. The core-shell particle was applied to low-density polyethylene/ ethylene vinyl acetate (LDPE/EVA) resin by melt-compounding at $180^{\circ}C$ as flame retardant. The effect of magnesium hydroxide and melamine content has been studied on the flame retardancy of the core-shell particles in LDPE/EVA resin according to the preparation process and purity of magnesium hydroxide. Magnesium hydroxide prepared with sodium hydroxide rather than with ammonia solution revealed higher flame retardancy in core-shell particles with LDPE/EVA resin. At 50 wt% loading of flame retardant, core-shell particles revealed higher flame retardancy compared to that of the exclusive magnesium hydroxide in LDPE/EVA composite, and it was possible to satisfy the V0 grade in the UL-94 vertical test. The synergistic flame retardant effect of magnesium hydroxide and melamine core-shell particles was explained as being due to the endothermic decomposition of magnesium hydroxide and melamine, which was followed by the evolution of water from the magnesium hydroxide and porous char formation due to reactive nitrogen compounds, and carbon dioxide generated from melamine.

[$CO_2$] is a well-known greenhouse gas, which is the major source of global warming. Many researchers have studied to reduce $CO_2$ emission in combustion processes. The central method of low $CO_2$ emission is Oxygen/CxHy combustion. Theoretically Oxygen/CxHy combustion only produces $CO_2\;and\;H_2O$ and allows convenient recovery of $CO_2$. The combustion characteristics, flame stability, composition in the flame zone and temperature profile were studied experimentally for various compositions of oxidant by substituting $CO_2\;for\;N_2$ with the constant $O_2$ concentration. Results showed that flame became unstable due to the high heat capacity, low transport rate and strong radiation effect of $CO_2$ in comparison with those of $N_2$. The reaction zone was quenched and broadened, as the ratio of $CO_2\;to\;N_2$ was increased. The emission of NOx in flue gas decreased due to the decreased temperature of the reaction zone. As the conversion ratio of $CO_2\;to\;N_2$ was increased, the emission of CO and the higher temperature zone increased due to decrease of reaction rate by the a quenching effect.

$CO_2$ is a well-known green house gas as well as the major source of global warming. Many researchers have studied to reduce $CO_2$ emission in combustion processes. Among the method for reducing $CO_2$ emission, oxygen-enriched combustion has been proposed. Because its adiabatic flame temperature is relatively too high, existing facilities must be changed or the flame temperature in the combustion zone should be reduced. The combustion characteristics, composition in the flame zone, temperature profile and emission gases were investigated experimentally for the various oxygen-enriched ratios(OER) by the addition of $CO_2$, under constant $O_2$ flow rate. Results showed that the reaction zone was quenched and broadened as the addition of $CO_2$ was increased. The emission of NOx in flue gas was decreased as decreasing temperature in reaction zone. It was also shown that the reaction was delayed by the cooling effect. As the addition of $CO_2$ was increased, the composition of CO in the flame zone was increased due to the increase of reaction rate by increasing mixing effect of oxidant/fuel at OER=0％, but the composition of CO was decreased by quenching effect at OER=50％ and 100％.

$CO_2$ is a well-known green house gas, which is the major source of global warming. Many researchers have studied to reduce $CO_2$ emission in combustion processes. Among the method for reducing $CO_2$ emission, oxygen-enriched combustion has been proposed. But the adiabatic flame temperature is too high. So existing facilities must be changed, or the adiabatic flame temperature in the combustion zone should be reduced. The combustion characteristics, composition in the flame zone, temperature profile and emission gases were studied experimentally for the various oxygen-enriched mtios(OER) by addition of $CO_2$ under coustant $O_2$ flowrate. Results showed that the reaction zone was quenched, broadened, as addition of $CO_2$ was increased. Temperature has a large effect on the NOx emission. The emission of NOx in flue gas decreased due to the decreased temperature of reaction zone. It was also shown that the reaction was delayed by the cooling effect. As the addition of $CO_2$ was increased, the composition of CO in the flame zone increased due to the increase of reaction rate by increasing mixing effect of oxidant/fuel at OER=0, but the composition of CO decreased by quenching effect at OER=50 and 100%.

Ultrafine Si3N4 and Si3N4+SiC mixed powders were synthesized through thermal plasma chemical vapor deposition(CVD) using a hybrid plasma, which was characterized by the supersposition of a radio-frequency plasma and arc jet. The reactant SiCl4 was injected into an arc jet and completely decomposed in a hybrid plasma, and the second reactant CH4 and/or NH3 mixed with H2 were injected into the tail flame through double stage ring slits. In the case of ultrafine Si3N4 powder synthesis, reaction efficiency increased significantly by double stage injection compared to single stage one, although crystallizing behaviors depended upon injection speed of reactive quenching gas (NH3+N2) and injection method. For the preparation of Si2N4+SiC mixed powders, N/C composition ratio could be controlled by regulating the injection speed of NH3 and/or CH4 reactant and H2 quenching gas mixtures as well as by adjusting the reaction space.

In this paper, discharge characteristics of air in the vertical arrangement of three rods(dome-shaped, cylinder-shaped, and needle-shaped rod) and plane gap having propane flame on the plane electrode are examined under the application of a.c. and d.c. high-voltages. As the result of the experiment, flashover voltages in the presence of the flame are substantially lowered than those in the absence of flame, and relative a.c. flashover voltages in the dome-shaped, cylinder-shaped, and needle-shaped rod gaps are found 32.5%, 32.1%, and 26.4% respectively. The polarity effects with the d.c. voltages are shown, and flashover voltages in negative polarity are much lowered than those in positive one. The negative flashover voltages in the dome-shaped and cylinder-shaped gaps are found 18.3% and 18.7% respectively, but the positive ones are found 53.5% and 43.2% respectively. In the needle-shaped rod gaps, meanwhile, the flame is extinguished by corona wind, and the quenching voltages are found 28.4% under the application of a.c. voltages. The ion winds of corona and the reduction of air density are the main factors of flashover reduction owing to the flame in the case of a.c. voltages, but the electrifications of the positive ion by thermal ionization besides the above factors are remarkably found in the case of d.c. voltages.

Damk$\ddot{o}$hler수가 클 때 복사열손실에 의한 소염근처에서 셀모양의 대향류확산화염의 특성에 대하여 수치해석적으로 연구하였다. Lewis 수를 0.5로 두고 일차원 정상상태의 화염의 해에 매우 작은 교란을 가하여 시간에 따른 화염전개를 계산하였다. 천이과정 초기에는 선형안정성 해석에서 예측된 결과와 매우 비슷하게 진행된다. 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가율이 가장 강한 파동수를 갖는 교란파가 성장하고, 완전히 발달되면 소염영역과 화염영역이 번갈아 나타나는 셀모양의 화염구조를 갖는다. 화염온도는 총엔탈피의 국소 이득 때문에 일차원 정상상태의 화염온도보다 높다. 셀모양의 확산화염은 Damk$\ddot{o}$hler 수가 증가함에 따라 셀의 모양이 원형으로 되며 일차원 정상상태 소염조건보다 큰 Damk$\ddot{o}$hler 수에서도 셀모양의 화염은 꺼지지 않고 살아남는다.

The effect of heat loss on combustion performance and burning velocity of micro combustors in various conditions were exploited experimentally. Three different gases were used, and various geometric matrixes were considered to figure out the phenomena of combustion in a micro combustor. The micro combustors used in this study were constant volume combustors and had cylindrical shape. Geometric parameter of combustor was defined as combustor height and diameter. The effect of height was exploited parametrically as 1mm, 2mm and 3 mm and the effect of diameter was parameterized to be 7.5 mm and 15 mm. Three different combustibles which were Stoichiometric mixtures of methane and air, hydrogen and air, and mixture of hydrogen and air with fuel stoichiometry of two were used. By pressure measurement and visualization of flame propagation, characteristic of flame propagation was obtained. Flame propagations which were synchronized with pressure change within combustor were analyzed. From the analysis of images obtained during the flame propagations, burning velocity at each location of flame was obtained. About $7\%$ decrease in burning velocity of $CH_4/Air$ stoichiometric mixture compared with previous a empirical result was observed, and we can conclude that it is acceptable to use empirical equations for laminar premixed flame burning velocity to micro combustions. Results presented in this paper will give fine tool for analysis and prediction of combustion process within micro combustors.
