The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the quantitative pollutants reduction by oxygen enrichment and induced air effect in venturi type after-burner. For this purpose, CO, $CO_2$, $O_2$. and HC concentrations were measured before and after the after-burner by changing the Oxygen flow rate and area ratio which is defined as the ratio of air inducing area divided by total area. As results of this study, when the area ratio were increased, the emission reduction effect was increased even less oxygen flow rate. In that case when oxygen was injected too little, the pollutants were increased.

Multi-hole type oxygen combustion burner was developed for industrial gasification and smelting furnace. We investigated characteristics of flame, radiation transfer, and soot emission in the convectional oxygen burner with respect to the feeding condition of fuel and oxygen. Regarding the results of the conventional burner, we designed new burners which have larger fuel consumption rate and radiation heat transfer. We changed the size and hole number and shape of the exit plane of the burner. In addition, the performance of the burner was tested with respect to the feeding condition of the fuel and air: Normal Diffusion flame(NDF) and Inverse Diffusion Flame(IDF). We investigated the flame configuration, radiation heat transfer, and soot formation by using a CCD camera, heat flux meter, and Laser Induced Incadescence(LII), respectively. The stable operating condition was obtained by the flame configuration and the flame of the burner which has dented exit plane was more stable in whole operating conditions. The characteristics of radiative heat transfer were sensitive to the feeding condition of reactants and the flame of 75% primary oxygen and 25% secondary oxygen of the IDF case shows maximum radiation heat transfer. The soot volume fraction of the flame was measured in the axial direction of the flame and the amount of soot volume fraction is proportion to the radiation heat transfer. As a result, we can get the optimal operating condition of the newly designed burner which enhances the characteristics of flame stabilization and radiation heat transfer.

An Experimental study was conducted to investigate the effective way for fuel consumption improvement in radiant tube burner heating system used in steel manufacturing process. To find effectiveness of increase of temperature and oxygen fraction of intake air on fuel consumption, the model radiant tube burner heating system with recuperator was designed to be able to adjust temperature and oxygen fraction of intake air, and was operated under various conditions with oxygen concentration in exhaust gas changed. The results show that burner chamber temperature was increased about $10\%$ of intake air temperature increase. so it was difficult to expect fuel consumption improvement. But only 1 or $2\%$ increase of oxygen fraction in intake air made a significant improvement in fuel consumption even though it made much NOx emissions also. Therefore, if NOx emissions is controlled under regulation with burner modification, it is expected that increase of oxygen fraction in Intake air is effective way to improve fuel consumption.

MCVD(modified chemical vapor deposition) used in making optical-fiber currently utilizes the hydrogen-oxygen burner as a energy supply source. To improve the productivity and to reduce the manufacturing cost of optical-fiber, a natural gas-oxygen burner has been developed. The manufacturing processes of optical-fiber consist of vapor deposition, collapse and drawing processes. Among these processes, the vapor deposition and the collapse processes are important in terms of improving the productivity and saving the production cost. The vapor deposition and collapse processes are performed by combustion heat and flame force supplied by a burner. So the flame force of the burner used in these processes is required to have an optimal and consistent value in order to allow uniform heating and collapse of quartz tube. In this regard, the momentum ratio of natural gas and oxygen has been optimally determined by modification of a burner and the inlet flow pass also has been modified.

The oxygen concentration of primary oxidizer is decided under 10% due to flammable risk. It can be a spontaneous combustion inside burner or tube if the excess oxygen is added to primary oxidizer in Oxy-PC burner. In this case, the rest oxygen which can not be injected to primary oxidizer should be injected to another port. If added it to a second oxidizer, the ignition is unstable at outlet of burner. Accordingly an extra lancing port is needed to insert into the burner unlike other common air mode. And the flame formation and combustion characteristic differ from lancing port position. Therefore we observed flame formation which has stable combustion characteristic according to the shape and position of lancing port.

The purpose of this study is to develop venturi type after-burner in order to obtain pollutant reduction effect and find the best stable combustion condition. For this purpose, through a flow analysis, the shape of venturi type was made and flame holder locations were also decided by measuring chemical species at before and after the after-burner. Also, various chemical species concentration were measured at changing the induced air rates and the oxygen for oxygen enrichment for the solution the problems of much oxygen flow rate and the flame stability range. As results of this study, a flow distribution and the purification effect was excellent at venturi contraction 0.5 and flame holder location 12mm below the center of Venturi throat. On the purification characteristics, we found that pollutants reduction was effective when area ratio and oxygen are increased. But there are suitable quantities due to the flame shape change and combustion efficiency.

The performance of oxygen combustion with $CO_2$ feeding was investigated in a pyrex tube furnace. The inverse type multi-hole burner was used for improving mixing and wide operating range. It introduced oxygen, fuel, and oxygen, respectively, from center tube to outer tubes. Oxygen combustion characteristics with excess oxygen ratio, oxygen feeding ratio, and $CO_2$ feeding flow rate were studied to optimize the operating condition and to apply the oxygen combustion with recirculation of flue gas to a real furnace. This paper presents results on the effect of $CO_2$ feeding flow rate on the structure of the flames and concentrations of NO and CO emissions. The visible flame length was shortest due to well mixing between fuel and oxygen when the oxygen feeding ratio was 0.25. The NO emission was reduced drastically regardless of excess oxygen ratio when the $CO_2$ feeding flow rate was larger than 15 lpm. The CO emission is varied by changing the $CO_2$ feeding flow rate but the CO emission characteristics is highly affected by excess oxygen ratio. When the excess oxygen ratio is below ${\lamda}=1.1$, the CO emission increased as the $CO_2$ feeding flow rate increased.

Experiments have been performed for the burners used in the non-oxidizing direct fired furnaces for the cold rolled plate to investigate the effect of fuel/air mixing patterns of the burner nozzle on flame shape, temperature and combustion gas concentration. CFD simulation has also been performed to investigate the mixing state of air-fuel for a nozzle mixing burner and a partially pre-mixing burner. A partially pre-mixing burner showed that flame temperature increased up to $26^{\circ}C$ on average compared than that of the nozzle mixing. It also showed that the mixing distance is important at the partially pre-mixing burner. Test results for a partially pre-mixing burner showed that the residual oxygen concentration and the volume ratio of $CO/CO_2$ of the flame were applicable to be used in field furnaces.

The results of a series of experiments executed by using two pilot-scale oxy-fuel burners are presented. The oxy-fuel burners are designed for maximum capacity of 50,000kcal/hr, 200,000kcal/hr and installed in the test furnace. The effects of turn-down ratio, excess oxygen ratio, nozzle exit velocity, injection angle, and swirl vane angle on the combustion characteristic are investigated. Temperature distributions are measured using R-type and Molybdenum sheathed C-type thermocouple at various points of the flame. The results showed that maximum temperature and mean temperature increase with the increase of turn-down ratio and momentum. The maximum flame temperature was increased about 35% compared to the case of equivalent air operated condition. In addition, optimum burner type, excess oxygen ratio and nozzle characteristics are obtained for this oxy-fuel glass melting furnace.

To investigate the combustion characteristics of a swirling diffusion gas burner with oxygen enrichment, mean temperature, CO, $CO_2$, and HC concentrations were measured at various oxygen enrichment conditions. According to the results, the flame temperature increased and the region of high temperature was expanded with increasing oxygen concentration. The $CO_2$ concentrations increased, while the CO concentrations decreased in proportion to the increase of oxygen concentration. On the other hand, the HC concentrations were decreased and this tendency was very strong at the downstream of the combustor.
