The coflow velocity effect on the minimum extinguishing concentration(MEC) was investigated experimentally in heptane cup-burner flames. Various inert gases($N_2$, Ar, $CO_2$, He) were added into the oxidizer to find the critical concentration and the effectiveness of the agents on flame extinction. The experimental results showed that the MECs were increased with increasing coflow velocity for most inert gases except helium, but the higher coflow velocity induced the lower burning rates of heptane. This indicated that the increase of coflow velocity resulted in the decrease of fuel velocity evaporated from fuel surface, and hence the stain rate on the reaction zone was also decreased. In the case of helium as a additive, the extinguishing concentration was independent of the coflow velocity because the heat conductivity was ten times larger than the other inert gases and flow effect by a strain rate might be compensated for heat loss to the surroundings.

Emulsion 연료는 연료절감과 오염방지특성에 의하여 많은 관심을 끌고 있다. 본 연구에서는 B-C유와 Emulsion 연료(B-C유와 폐수를 혼합하여 만든 연료)의 연소효율을 비교 분석하였다. 보일러의 양쪽에 R-Type Thermocouple과 광학온도계를 설치하였고, 연소가스배출구에 연소측정기를 설치하여 B-C유와 Emulsion 연료의 연소시 화염의 온도, 연소율 및 배기가스 농도를 측정 비교하였다. 이에 대한 실험 결과로서, 보일러 전$.$후반부의 화염온도는 B-C유의 화염온도보다 약 5$0^{\circ}C$ 낮았고, 이러한 온도차이의 원인은 Emulsion 연료의 폐수 속 수분 잠열로 인한 것으로 사료되어진다. 또한 Emulsion연료를 사용하였을 때 배출가스의 분석 결과는 오염물질의 같소 및 CO 농도 또한 매우 낮게 측정되어짐을 나타내고 있다. 3-C유와 Emulsion 연료의 연소 효율은 각각 85.5%와 84.8%이다.

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are currently being used in various transport applications such as drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, and automobiles. The power required is different according to the type of use, purpose, and the conditions adjusted using a cell stack. The fuel cell stack is compressed to reduce the size and prevent fuel leakage. The unit cells that make up the cell stack are subjected to compression by clamping force, which makes geometrical changes in the porous media and it impacts on cell performance. In this study, finite elements method (FEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis for the deformed unit cell considering the effects of clamping force is performed. First, structural analysis using the FEM technique over the deformed gas diffusion layer (GDL) considering compression is carried out, and the resulting porosity changed in the GDL is calculated. The PEMFC model is then verified by a three-dimensional, two-phase fuel cell simulation applying the physical properties and geometry obtained before and after compression. The detailed simulation results showed different concentration distributions of fuel between the original and deformed geometry, resulting in the difference in the distribution of current density is represented at compressed GDL region with low oxygen concentration.

According to the stringent exhaust emission regulation, precise control of air fuel ratio is one of the most important issues on gasoline engine. Although many researches have been carried out to identify the fuel transport phenomena in a port fueled gasoline engine, complexity of fuel film behavior in the intake port makes it difficult. The fuel film behavior was investigated recently by using visualization method and these gave us qualitative understanding. The purpose of this study is to estimate of wall wetting fuel in the intake port and the inducted fuel mass was predicted by using wall wetting fuel model . The model coefficient($\alpha$,$\beta$) and fuel film mass on the port wall were determined from measured in-cylinder HC concentration using FRFID after injection off. The fuel film mass was increased, but $\alpha$(ratio of directly inducted fuel mass into cylinder from injected fuel mass) was decreased with increasing load at the same engine speed. $\beta$is nearly constant value(0.8~0.9). when injected fuel mass is varied at 1500rpm , the calculated air fuel ratio using well wetting fuel model was nearly the same as measured by UEGO.

In this study, visual investigation of sprays and flames has been performed and soot formation in Diesel and GTL fuels has been compared in a specially designed Rapid Charging Combustion Vessel (RCCV) under various ambient gas $O_2$ concentrations and two injection pressures. It has been concluded that soot in the mixing-controlled combustion of Diesel and GTL fuels has similar tendency to be formed in the leading portion of the jet boundaries. Auto-ignition delay for GTL fuel is shorter than that for diesel fuel. The temporal and special variation of soot concentration in the diesel flame jets at various $O_2$ concentrations was correlated with the heat release rate. Soot concentration appears in the regions when diffusion combustion starts, and its concentration reaches maximum at the peak of heat release curve and then decreases due to oxidation. Visualization by shadowgraph method showed that soot decreases with lower $O_2$ concentration, and higher injection pressure.

The stabilization characteristics of diffusion flame formed in the wake of a cylindrical flame holder were investigated. Distribution of turbulence intensity, concentration distribution of combustion gas, and ion currents were measured. The turbulence intensity in the wake of cylindrical- game holder is increased with increase of diameter or blockage ratio of grid. If the auxiliary fuel is injected into recirculation zone, the concentration of $C_3H_8$ is high, but the concentration of $CO_2$ is low at the boundary of recirculation zone. The region with highest average value of ion currents in the middle of flame is moved to the upstream side by the turbulent components of main stream. The flame mass with partially active reaction is moved fast for uniform flow and turbulence generator G3, but the flame mass with relatively slow reaction is moved slowly for turbulence generator G1.

This paper describes the power performance and emission characteristics of the high speed direct injection diesel engine (2.9 litter displacements) driven by soybean oil asknown a bio diesel fuel. The results were compared to diesel fuel with blending bio diesel fuels. The soybean bio diesel fuel was added in the diesel fuel in concentration varying from 25% to 75% volume rates. We measured the emissions according to ECE 13 mode and full load, fixedengine speed. When the 25% bio diesel fuel was used, NOx emission at the ECE 13 mode test slightly decreased compared with diesel base engine. Over engine speed of 2000 rpm, the level of unburned hydrocarbon(HC) and carbon monoxide(CO) were the same to the diesel engine. Smoke emission decreased asthe blending bio diesel fuel rate increased.

본 연구에서는 연료분출각의 변화에 따라 보염기(cylindrical stabilizer) 후류에 형성되는 확산화염의 화염 안정성, 재순환영역의 길이 및 온도, 보염기 후류의 난류강도 분포, 재순환영역의 연소가스 농도 등을 측정하고, 화염의 직접사진 및 슐리렌사진을 촬영하여 확산화염의 연소특성을 고찰하였다. 화염안정성은 연료분출각과 주류공기 유속의 영향을 받으며, 재순환영역의 길이와 온도는 연료분출각의 영향을 받았다. 재순환영역의 길이가 짧고 온도가 낮을수록 화염안정성이 양호하지만, 연료분출각의 변화에 따른 난류강도 분포에는 별로 차이가 없었다. 재순환영역 내 미연가스 농도가 높고 이산화탄소 농도가 낮은 경우, 화염안정성은 양호하지만 연소상태는 불량한 것으로 나타났다. 연소효율, 고부하 출력, 대기환경, 연료의 청정연소조건 등을 고려하여 적절한 연료분출각을 선정함으로써 양호한 연소조건을 유지할 수 있다.
