A two-dimensional twin-jet counterflow system has been designed, in which two streams from two double-slit nozzles form a counterflow. This flow system enables one to systematically investigate various effects on non-premixed flames, including the non-premixed flame interaction, the edge flame behavior and the effect of curvature. Non-premixed flame interaction in the twin-jet counterflow system has been investigated numerically for methane fuel diluted with nitrogen. Three types of non-premixed flame(conventional counterflow flame, crossed twin-jet flame and petal shaped flame) were simulated depending on the combination of fuel/oxidizer supply to each nozzle. The extinction characteristics of non premixed methane flame in the twin-jet counterflow have been investigated numerically. The boundary of the existence of petal-shaped flames was identified for the twin-jet counterflow flames. Due to the existence of the unique petal-shaped flames, the extinction boundary for the twin-jet counterflow can be extended significantly compared to that for the conventional counterflow non-premixed flames, through the interaction of two flames. Through the comparison of the crossed twin-jet flame and the conventional counterflow flame, structure of the crossed twin-jet counterflow flame is analysed. Through the comparison of the petal shaped flame and the conventional counterflow flame, the extension of the extinction boundary for the twin-jet counterflow is investigated.

극지방은 혹한의 날씨로 인해 일반 석유제품을 사용할 경우, 석유제품 내 왁스 성분 등이 고체상으로 석출되어 원활한 연료공급 등에 문제발생을 일으킬 수 있다. 따라서 극지방에서 사용하는 석유제품은 혹한의 온도에 적합하게 생산, 판매되고 있지만 해외로부터 공급받고 있어, 수급의 어려움이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 기존 남극유를 대체할 수 있는 석유제품을 검토하기 위해 기존 연료에 대한 연료적 특성을 분석한 뒤, 저온특성이 우수한 항공유에 윤활성 향상제를 일정농도 첨가하여, 남극유 대체연료로서 연료적 특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 윤활성 향상제인 R621A제품의 윤활성이 가장 우수하였으며, 윤활성 향상제 첨가량이 증가할수록 윤활성이 증가하였지만, 1000 mg/L만 첨가하여도 충분한 윤활성 향상효과를 보였다. 따라서 항공유에 윤활성 향상제를 첨가한 대체연료는 극지방의 혹한 기온에서 사용하여도 큰 문제가 없을 것으로 판단된다.

Combustion stability rating of jet injector is conducted numerically using air-injection technique in a model chamber, where air is supplied to oxidizer and fuel manifolds of the model five-element injector head. A sample F(fuel)-O(oxidizer)-O-F impinging-jet injector is adopted. In this technique, we can simulate mixing process of streams flowing through oxidizer and fuel orifices under cold-flow condition without chemical reaction. The model chamber was designed based on the methodologies proposed in the previous work regarding geometrical dimensions and operating conditions. From numerical data, unstable regions can be identified and they are compared with those from air-injection acoustic and hot-fire tests. The present stability boundaries are in a good agreement with experimental results. The proposed numerical method can be applied cost-effectively to stability rating of jet injectors when mixing of fuel and oxidizer jets is the dominant process in instability triggering.

A Promising new approach to achieve low pollutant emissions and improvement of flame stability is tested experimentally using a cyclone jet hybrid combustor employing both premixed and diffusion combustion mode. Three kinds of nozzle are tested for mixing enhancement of fuel and air. The LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) is used as a fuel. The combustor is operated by two methods. One is DC (Diffusion Combustion) mode generated swirl flow by air as general swirl combustor, and the other is HC (Hybrid Combustion) mode. The HC mode consists of diffusion jet flame of axial direction and premixed cyclone flame of tangential direction in order to stabilized the diffusion jet flame. The results showed that the flame stability of HC mode is significantly enhanced than that of DC mode through the change of mixing characteristics by modifications of fuel nozzle. In addition, the reductions of CO and NOx emission in HC mode, as compared with that for the DC mode, is large than about 50% in stable region. Also, even using the low calorific fuel as $CO_2$-blended gas, it is identified that the cyclone jet hybrid combustor has the high performance of flame stability.

The impingement of the fuel spray on the wall within the combustion chamber in compact high-pressure injection engines and on the intake port wall in port-fuel-inje- ction type engines is unavoidable. It is important to understand the characteristics of impinging spray because it influences on the rate of fuel evaporation and droplet distrib- ution etc. In this study, the numerical study for the characteristics of spray/wall interaction is performed to test the applicability and reliability of spray/wall impingement models. The impingement models used are stick model, reflect model, jet model and Watkins and Park's model. The head of wall-jet eminating radilly outward from the spray impingement site contains a vortex. Small droplets are deflected away from the wall by the stagnation flow field and the gas wall-jet flow. While the larger droplets with correspondingly higher momentum are impinged on the wall surface and them are moved along the wall and are rolled up by wall-jet vortex. Using the Watkins and Park's model the predicted results show the most reasonable trend. The rate of increase of spread and the height of the developing wall-spray is predicted to decrease with increased ambient pressure(gas density).

As a research to develop a SCRAM jet engine is actively conducted, a necessity to produce a high-enthalpy flow in a laboratory is increasing. In order to develop the SCRAM-jet engine, stabilized combustion in a supersonic flow-field should be attained, in which a duration time of flow is extremely short. Therefore, a mixing process of breathed air and fuel, which is injected into supersonic flow-fields is one of the most important problem. Since, the flow inside SCRAM jet engine has high-enthalpy, an experimental facility is required to produce such high-enthalpy flow-field. In this study, a detonation-driven shock tunnel was built and was used to produce high-enthalpy flow. Further-more, SCRAM jet engine model equipped backward-facing step was installed at test section and flow-fields were visualized using color-schlieren technique and high speed video camera. The fuel was injected perpendicular to the flow of Mach number three behind backward-facing step. The height of the step, distance of injection and injection pressure were changed to investigate the effects of step on a mixing characteristic between air and fuel. The schlieren photograph and pressure histories show that the fuel was ignited behind the step.

Various jet engines (Turbine engine family and RAM Jet engine) have been developed for high speed aircrafts. but their application to hypersonic flight is restricted by principle problems such as increase of total pressure loss and thermal stress. Therefore, the development of next generation propulsion system for hypersonic aircraft is a very important subject in the aerospace engineering field, SCRAM Jet engine based on a key technology, Supersonic Combustion. is supposed as the best choice for the hypersonic flight. Since Supersonic Combustion requires both rapid ignition and stable flame holding within supersonic air stream, much attention have to be given on the mixing state between air stream and fuel flow. However. the wider diffusion of fuel is expected with less total pressure loss in the supersonic air stream. So. in this study the direction of fuel injection is inclined 30 degree to downstream and the total pressure of jet is controlled for lower penetration height than thickness of boundary layer. Under these flow configuration both streams, fuel and supersonic air stream, would not mix enough. To spread fuel wider into supersonic air an aerodynamic force, baroclinic torque, is adopted. Baroclinic torque is generated by a spatial misalignment between pressure gradient (shock wave plane) and density gradient (mixing layer). A wedge is installed in downstream of injector orifice to induce an oblique shock. The schlieren optical visualization from side transparent wall and the total pressure measurement at exit cross section of combustor estimate how mixing is enhanced by the incidence of shock wave into supersonic boundary layer composed by fuel and air. In this study non-combustionable helium gas is injected with total pressure 0.66㎫ instead of flammable fuel to clarify mixing process. Mach number 1.8. total pressure O.5㎫, total temperature 288K are set up for supersonic air stream.

초음파 진동자에 의해 미립화된 탄화수소계 액체연료를 태우는 버너의 연소특성을 고찰하기 위한 실험이 수행되었다. 고속카메라와 열화상 카메라를 이용하여 slit-jet 버너에서 생성된 화염의 이미지를 획득하였으며, 후처리를 통해 화염의 형상과 온도구배를 면밀히 분석하였다. 또한, 정밀유량 계측법을 이용하여 수송기체 실험조건 변화에 따른 연료소모량을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 수송기체 유량이 증가하면 무화된 연료의 분사량도 같이 증가한다는 사실을 확인하였으나, 낮은 유량 조건에서는 주변 장치의 진동에 의해 공연비(air/fuel ratio)와 수송기체 유량의 상관성이 관찰되지 않았다. 또한, 수송기체 유량과 초음파진동자의 소비전력이 증가하면 연소반응이 촉진되어 연소영역이 신장되고 화염온도가 증가하였다.

This paper compares the performance of JP-8(Jet Propellant) fuel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas in the F110 GE100 jet engine. The cost of natural gas usage in gas turbine engines is lower than JP-8 and LPG. LPG cost is more than JP-8. LPG volume is bigger than JP-8 in the same flight conditions. Fuel tank should be cryogenic for using natural gas in the aircraft. Cost and weight of the cryogenic tanks are bigger. Cryogenic tanks decrease the move capability of the aircraft. The use of jet propellant (JP) is the best in available application for F110 GE 100 jet engine.

제트연료변경에 따른 엔진 운용 특성 변화를 살펴보기 위해 JP-8 연료와 JP-S 연료를 사용하여 소형터 보제트엔진의 지상시험 및 고도시험을 수행하였다. 비중이 18% 높은 JP-S 연료에 대한 연료조절시스템 특성은 동일 연료공급명령에 대한 실 연료공급량이 JP-8 연료보다 8% 많이 공급되었다. 시동특성은 연료조절시스템의 명령 대비 공급량의 차이로 인한 점화시점 및 엔진 회전수 가속율 등의 변화를 제외하고는 유사한 특성을 보였다. 정상상태 성능 특성은 순 추력의 일부 구간을 제외하고는 순 추력과 공기유량, 배기가스온도 등 대부분의 엔진 성능 변수가 1% 이내로 유사하였으나 연료소모량만은 연료의 발열량 차이로 인해 최대 5 %이상 차이가 발생하였다. 이를 동일 추력 대비 비 연료소모율로 비교할 때 지상시험에서는 약 1.1~2.6 %, 고공환경시험에서는 5 % 이상 차이가 발생하였다.
