The relationship among the flame radiation, NOx emissions, residence time, and global strain rate are examined for turbulent non-premixed jet flames with wide variations in coaxial air conditions. Measurements of NOx emission, flame geometry and flame radiation were made to explain the NOx emission scaling based on global parameters such as flame residence time, global strain rate, and radiant fraction. The overall 1/2-power scaling is observed in coaxial air flames, irrespective of coaxial air conditions, but the degree of deviation from the l/2-slope curve in each case differs from one another. From the comparison between the results of pure hydrogen flames and those of helium diluted hydrogen flames, it is observed that flame radiation plays a significant role in pure hydrogen flames with coaxial air and the deviation from 1/2-power scaling may be explained in two reasons: the difference in the flame radiation and the difference in jet similarity in coaxial air flames. From the radiation measurements, more detailed explanations on these deviations were suggested.

A turbulent non-premixed ethylene flame, which was set up in a vertical wind tunnel, was examined to understand the effect of turbulent mixing on formations of soot and gaseous species in the flames. Temperature and velocity profiles were measured using uncoated thermocouples and LDV system. Gaseous samples were withdrawn by using a water cooled stainless iso-kinetic gas sampling probe. The samples for inorganic compounds and light hydrocarbons were collected with sampling bottles and were analyzed by a gas chromatography. The samples for aromatic hydrocarbons were collected on a sorbent tube and were analyzed on a GC/MS system. Some of main results were followed. CO and $CO_2$ were measured relatively in early part of flame and the concentration of CO was greater than that of $CO_2$ all over the early flame region due to the scavenging of the oxidizing species OH by soot particles. Aromatic hydrocarbons were measured at x/D=122 along the radial direction and main important species were benzene, xylene, toluene, styrene, indene, naphthalene. The peak points of these compounds occurred at r/D=0.8 apart from the center of flame, around in which the concentration of $C_2H_2$ decayed relatively rapidly from the maximum value.

공명 주파수의 음파로 가진된 비예혼합 분류화염에서 가진 강도에 대한 영향을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 이를 위해 Mie 산란광 단면법, PLIF, PIV 등 광학적 가시화 방법이 사용되었다. 가진된 분류화염의 부상경로는 연료유량 및 가진 강도에 따라 크게 세 가지 영역으로 구분되는데, 비교적 큰 가진 강도에서 부상될 때 화염기저가 마치 난류화염처럼 부상되는 영역I과 작은 가진 강도에서 쉽게 부상되는 영역II 그리고 이 두 영역들 사이에서 부상된 화염기저가 부분 예혼합의 분젠화염과 같은 형태로 과도기적 영역이 존재함을 알았다. 본 연구에서는 영역I과 II로 구분되는 부상경로 차이에 대한 이해를 높이고자 가진 위상에 따른 노즐과 화염기저간의 유동 혼합과 속도 분포 특성을 아세톤 PLIF와 PIV 시스템을 사용하여 조사하였다.

The Direct Quadrature Method of Moments (DQMOM) has been presented for the solution of population balance equation in the wide range of the multi-phase flows. This method has the inherently interesting features which can be easily applied to the multi-inner variable equation. In addition, DQMOM is capable of easily coupling the gas phase with the discrete phases while it requires the relatively low computational cost. Soot inception, subsequent aggregation, surface growth and oxidation are described through a population balance model solved with the DQMOM for soot formation. This approach is also able to represent the evolution of the soot particle size distribution. The turbulence-chemistry interaction is represented by the laminar flamelet model together with the presumed PDF approach and the spherical harmonic P-1 approximation is adopted to account for the radiative heat transfer.

$CO_2$ is well known greenhouse gas which is the major source of global warming. Reducing $CO_2$ emission in combustion process can be achieved by increasing combustion efficiency, oxygen enriched combustion and recirculation of the emitted $CO_2$ gas. Stability of non-premixed flame in oxygen enriched environment will be affected by the amount of oxygen, kind of diluents and fuel exit velocity. The effects of these parameters on flame liftoff and blowout are studied experimentally oxidizer coflowing burner. Experiments were divided into three cases according as where $CO_2$gas was supplied. - 1) to coflowing air, 2) to fuel with 0$_2$-$N_2$ coflow, 3) to coflowing oxygen. Flame in air coflowing case was lifted in turbulent region. Flame lift and blowout in laminar region with the increase in $CO_2$ volume fraction in $CO_2$-Air mixture makes flame lift and blowout in laminar region. Increase in oxygen volume fraction makes flame stable-i.e. flame liftoff and blowout occur at higher fuel flowrates. Liftoff height was non-linear function of nozzle exit velocity and affected by the $O_2$ volume fraction. It was found that the flame in $O_2$-$N_2$ coflow case was more stable than $O_2$-$CO_2$ case, Liftoff heights vs (nozzle exit velocity/laminar burning velocity)$^{3.8}$ has a good correlation in $O_2$-$CO_2$ oxidizer case.

Hybrid propulsion systems provide many advantages in terms of stable operation and safety. However, classical hybrid rocket motors have lower fuel regression rate and combustion efficiency compared to solid propellant rocket motor. Accordingly, the recent research efforts are focused on the improvement of engine efficiency and regressionrate in the hybrid rocket engine. The present study has numerically investigated the combustion processes and the flame structure in the hybrid rocket engine. The turbulent combustion is represented by the flamelet model and Low Reynolds number $k-{\varepsilon}$turbulent model is employed to reduce the uncertainties for convective heat transfer near solid fuel surface having strong blowing effect. Numerical results suggest that the present approach is capable of realistically simulating the combustion characteristics of the hybrid rocket engines.

삼지화염 구조는 화염 선단의 구조로서 다루어져 왔으며, 많은 연구자들에 의해 해석적인 방법과 실험적인 방법으로 연구가 되어왔다. 그러나 연료의 종류에 따른 가연한계의 차이가 삼지화염의 구조에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 깊이 있게 다루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 화염 구조에 대한 비대칭 가연한계의 영향을 예혼합화염과 확산화염에 관한 몇 가지 층류화염 이론에 근거한 간단한 수치 기법을 통해 연구하였다. 고정된 유동장이 사용되었으며, 예혼합 화염 가지에서의 경계조건이 연계되었다. 예혼합 화염 후류의 확산화염의 형성과 소멸을 성공적으로 모사할 수 있었다. 비대칭 가연한계 조건과 열손실에 따른 확산화염의 변화가 연구되었다. 본 연구는 화염의 기초 구조에 대한 이해를 도울 수 있으며, 이후의 연구를 위한 기초로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 이원추진제 추력기(thruster)에 사용되는 메탄-산소 연소특성규명의 선행연구로서 모델연소실 내 전단동축형인젝터를 통해 분사된 기체메탄-기체산소 비예혼합화염의 연소안정한계 및 화염형상을 도출하기 위한 실험적 연구가 수행되었다. DSLR 카메라를 이용하여 화염 직접이미지(direct image)를 촬영하였고, 이미지 후처리(post-processing)를 통해 연소특성파악 및 화염길이 정량화를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 산화제 레이놀즈 수($Re_o$)가 증가함에 따라 이론반응비(stoichiometric ratio)에서 안정된 화염이 발생하였고, 동일 인젝터직경 조건에서 난류화염의 길이가 늘어남을 확인하였다.

This paper investigates the effects of acoustic forcing on NOx emissions and mixing process in the near field region of turbulent hydrogen nonpremixed flames. The resonance frequency was selected to force the coaxial air jet acoustically, because the resonance frequency is effective to amplify the forcing amplitude and reduce NOx emissions. When the resonance frequency is acoustically excited, a streamwise vortex is formed in the mixing layer between the coaxial air jet and coflowing air. As the vortex develops downstream, it entrains both ambient air and combustion products into the coaxial air jet to mix well. In addition, the strong vortex pulls the flame surface toward the coaxial air jet, causing intense chemical reaction. Acoustic excitation also causes velocity fluctuations of coaxial air jet as well as fuel jet but, the maximum value of centerline fuel velocity fluctuation occurs at the different phases of $\Phi$=$180^{\circ}$ for nonreacting case and $\Phi$=$0^{\circ}$ for reacting case. Since acoustic excitation enhances the mixing rate of fuel and air, the line of the stoichiometric mixture fraction becomes narrow. Finally, acoustic forcing at the resonance frequency reduces the normalized flame length by 15 % and EINOx by 25 %, compared to the flame without acoustic excitation.

The effects of external excitation with various frequencies and amplitudes on the flame behavior and pollution emission characteristics from a laminar jet flame are experimentally investigated. Measurements of $NO_{x}$ emission indices($EINO_{x}$), performed in unconformed and vertical lifted flame at resonance frequency by strong excitation, have been conducted experimentally. It was also conducted to investigate the effects of excited frequency on $NO_{x}$ emissions with a various frequency ranged 0Hz to 2kHz. From the vertical lifted flame like turbulent of the excited jet with resonance frequency was shown that the dependence of $NO_{x}$ emission could be categorized into three groups: Group 1 of intermediate flame length and relative narrow flame volume yielding low $NO_{x}$ emission, Group 2 of short flame length but large flame volume yielding high $NO_{x}$ emission and Group 3 of long flame length with low temperature contours yielding high $NO_{x}$ emission.
