Distribution of fuel-air mixture has a strong influence on performance and emissions of a compressed natural gas (CNG) engine. In this paper, parametric study is performed by KIVA-3V to investigate fuel-air mixture with respect to injection timing, cycle equivalence ratio and engine speed. With open-valve injection intensive mixing during intake and compression stroke results in relatively homogeneous mixture in the cylinder. Sequential induction of fuel-air mixture and fresh air results in stratification in the cylinder among the test cases at closed-valve injection. There is close similarity in the calculated distributions of the mixture in the cylinder with different cycle equivalence ratios and engine speeds. The results are compared against pressure traces and flame images obtained in a single cylinder engine converted from a 11L six-cylinder heavy duty diesel engine.

The concept of lean-premixed combustion in gas turbine combustor operation has become a standard in recent years as an effective means to meet stringent environmental standards on NOx emissions. Various types of air-fuel premixer, which affect greatly NOx emission and stability of lean-premixed low NOx combustor, were investigated experimentally to reduce the NOx emission. One type of the premixers is selected by experiments and applied it to 70kW class lean-premixed gas turbine combustor. The exit temperature and emissions of CO and NOx were measured with equivalence ratios at ambient pressure. From the results, the emissions of CO and NOx were influenced by the type of air-fuel premixer. As the mixing length of air and fuel is longer, the NOx and CO emission were decreased in the primary reaction zone. Compared with of conventional combustor, the lean-premixed low NOx combustor has low NOx emission characteristics.

초음속 연소가 성공하려면 1 ms의 시간 안에 충분한 연료-공기 혼합이 이루어져야 한다. 본 실험은 마하 1.92유동에서 헬륨을 수직 분사하여 연료-공기 혼합이 어떻게 이루어지는지 살펴보았다. 평판과 공동 두 가지 모델로 실험을 수행하였고, 슐리렌 가시화를 통해 사진을 찍었다. 압력은 초음속 덕트 내에서 충격파가 어떻게 생성되는지에 영향이 많았고, 침투 거리는 J가 커질수록 두꺼워졌다. 공동이 있는 경우 평판일 때보다 침투 거리가 더 컸다.

In this work a numerical study to find the characteristics of the internal flow and mixing process has been conducted in a static mixer used in the system of catalytic combustor of the fuel cell power plant. After introducing the model description and final governing equations the present numerical approach is applied to the analysis of static mixer, which may have one or more helical elements inside the circular tube by changing such various parameters as incoming mass flow rates and the number of helical elements. The results show that although the static mixer is efficient in mixing fuel and air, more optimization processes are required to achieve the appropriate mixing characteristics in front of the honeycomb type catalytic combustor used in the MCFC power plant

PSP는 산소��칭원리에 의해 모델표면의 전역적 압력정보를 측정할 수 있는 기법이다. 본 연구는 자유류 마하수 2.5에서 수직 제트 분사와 Cavity를 이용한 스크램제트의 연소실 내부에서의 공기와 연료의 혼합 특성을 알아보기 위해 PSP를 사용하여 표면압력을 측정하였다. 그 결과 Cavity의 크기가 커질수록 공기-연료의 혼합정도가 커지는 것을 알 수 있었다.. 또한 CFD와 압력공을 이용하여 측정 압력값을 비교하였다. 그 결과 충격파의 형태 및 전단경계층의 두께 변화 등의 정성적 결과가 모두 일치하였으며, 압력측정 결과 약간의 오차는 발생하였으나 3D Bow Shock이 위치한 지점에서의 압력 및 Vorticity가 크게 나타나는 경향성이 모두 일치하였다.

The mixing characteristics of pylon injection in a Scramjet combustor and effects of film cooling to protect pylon from air-heating. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model were used. Fuel hydrogen and air were considered as coolants. There were remarkable improvements of penetration and mixing rate with the pylon injection. There also over-heating on the front surface of pylon without film cooling. The coolant injected parallel to the front surface of the pylon protect the pylon from over-heating.

While variable valve actuation or variable valve lift (VVL) is used increasingly in spark ignition (SI) engines to improve the volumetric efficiency or to reduce the pumping losses, it is necessary to understand the impact of variable valve lift and timing on the in-cylinder gas motions and mixing processes. In this paper, characteristics of the in-cylinder flow and fuel distribution for various valve lifts (4, 6, 8, 10 mm) were simulated in a GDI engine. It is expected that the investigation will be helpful in understanding and improving GDI combustion when a VVL system is used. The CFD results showed that a increased valve lift could significantly enhance the mixture and in-cylinder tumble motion because of the accelerated air flow. Also, it can be found that the fuel distribution is more affected by earlier injection (during intake process) than that of later injection (end of compression). These may contribute to an improvement in the air-fuel mixing but also to an optimization of intake and exhaust system.

This study was performed to calculate the swirl ratio of a diesel engine intake port by a 1D computer simulation under actual engine operating conditions. The swirl ratio of the intake port was simulated according to the change of the engine speed during the operation of the motoring without fuel injection. The swirl ratio of the intake port was simulated according to changes in the crank angle during the four-cycle operation of intake, compression, expansion and exhaust. The swirl ratio represented by the three regions of the piston, center and squish was simulated. Among the three regions, the piston-region swirl ratio is important for effective air-fuel mixing in the engine cylinder. In particular, it was confirmed during the simulation that the piston swirl ratio before and after the compression top dead center (TDC) point when fuel is injected in the DI diesel engine can have a significant effect on the mixing of air and fuel. It was desirable to set the average piston swirl ratio over a crank angle section before and after compression TDC as the representative swirl ratio of the cylinder head intake port according to the change of the engine speed.

This work treats a controlled auto-ignition (CAI) single cylinder gasoline engine, focusing on the extension of operating conditions. The fuel was injected indirectly into electrically heated inlet air flow. In order to keep a homogeneous air-fuel mixing, the fuel injector was water-cooled by a specially designed coolant passage. The engine performance and emission characteristics were investigated under the wide range of operating conditions such as 40 in the air-fuel ratio, 1000 to 1800 rpm in the engine speed, 150 to $180^{\circ}C$ in the inlet-air temperature, and $60^{\circ}$ BTDC in the injection timing. The ultra lean-burn with self-ignition of gasoline fuel by heating inlet air was achieved in a controlled auto-ignition gasoline engine. It could be also achieved that the emission concentrations of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide significantly reduced by CAI combustion compared with conventional spark ignition engines.

본 연구는 B시 생활폐기물 및 유기성 폐기물의 혼합에 따른 연료화 및 활용방안에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 반입폐기물, sludge cake와 food wast의 모든 혼합비율의 발열량이 6,000 kcal/kg으로 산출되었고, sludge의 경우 공연비와 온도가 높을수록 발생되는 유해물질 농도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 유해물질의 배출기준과 비교하여 보았을 때, 공연비가 2인 경우 800$^{\circ}C$일 때 유해물질 (CO, NOx, SOx)들이 기준이하의 배출 농도를 나타내었으며 혼재 소각 시 소각로 내부 온도 또한 가장 안정되는 것으로 나타났다. 소각시 완전연소가 이루어진다면, 혼합하여 RDF를 제조 시 발열량이 6000 kcal/kg이상으로 연료화 하기에 적합한 것으로 나타났다.
