Durability testing method trends of the thermal barrier coating(TBC) for the combustion chamber of the liquid-propellant rocket engine have been investigated. Many types of the durability testing method such as the mechanical tests to measure surface cohesion force, the thermal fatigue tests with laser, furnace, burner or plasma, the small scale combustion tests using injectors, and the thermo-mechanical fatigue tests were observed. The TBC with sufficient durability can be selected for the use of combustion chamber through such specimen-level tests and the durability can be verified by the tests using the real scale combustion chambers.

To optimize the combustion system in a HSDI diesel engine, a new analysis technology was developed. The in-cylinder 3-D combustion analysis was carried out by the modified KIVA-3V, and the spray characteristics for the high pressure injection system were analyzed by HYDSIM. The combustion design parameters were optimized by coupling the KIVA-3V and the iSIGHT. The optimization procedure consists of 3 steps. The $1^{st}$ step is the sampling method by the Design of Experiment(DOE), the $2^{nd}$ step is the approximation using the Neural Network method, and the $3^{rd}$ step is the optimization using the Genetic Algorithm. The developed procedures have been approved as very effective and reliable, and the computational results agree well with the experimental data. The analysis results show that the optimized combustion system in a HSDI diesel engine is capable of reducing NOx and Soot emissions simultaneously keeping a same level of the fuel consumption(BSFC).

This study proposes a new stratified charge system for low emission and ultra lean burn. In order to examine combustion characteristics of the new system, sparkplug with a hole at positive pole and a common CNG injector for injecting fuel were used in this study as injector-type spark plug. The new stratified charge system injects fuel of extremely small quantities and ignites mixture around sparkplug gap. Also, the system was fitted in a visualized constant volume chamber. Then, for analysis of the combustion characteristics, we examined combustion pressure, lean inflammable limit, and visualized combustion flame according to equivalence ratio by comparison with homogeneous charge (HC) method and the new stratified charge (SC) method. As results of this study, in the case of using this system, the propagation speed of initial flame was increased and total combustion period was reduced in the ultra lean burn in the same equivalence ratio. These phenomena occurred clearly under the conditions of lean equivalence ratio. Furthermore, the lean inflammable limit of mixture was extended by using the injector-type spark plug.

In this study, we investigated the analytical methods for bromine (Br) and chloride (Cl) with oxygen combustion bomb, using a halogen-containing polymer materials. On measuring Cl content, it showed less reproducibility of the results applying Mohr method or potentiometric titration method than those applying acid-base titration method. In both Br and Cl tests with an oxygen combustion bomb, their concentrations in the absorption and cleaning solution with distilled water were much higher than those in the combustion gas. On the other hand, the concentration level of Br measured by the oxygen combustion bomb method were a little bit lower than those measured by XRF or combustionion chromatography.

Laser induced-exciplex-fluorescence (EXCIPLEX) proposed by Melton is used to visualize fuel vapor in spray combustion. However, in the EXCIPLEX method based on TMPD/naphthalene system, the TMPD : naphthalene ratio is strictly restricted to 1 : 9. In addition, fluorescence intensity due to the vapor phase is extremely weak. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose a new laser-induced-excimer fluorescence (EXCIMER) method to visualize the liquid and vapor phases simultaneously. The spatial distributions of liquid and vapor in fuel spray suspended by ultrasonic waves are compared using the EXCIPLEX and EXCIMER methods. The correlation between fuel vapor concentration and fluorescence intensity is experimentally investigated by measuring the fluorescence intensity of saturated vapor formed over liquid fuel at a controlled temperature. These experimental results indicate that the EXCIMER method is effective for evaluating fuel vapor visualization in spray combustion. Furthermore, the quantitative distribution of fuel vapor concentration can be correctly estimated by the EXCIMER method.

As for the Production of internal combustion engines there has been further movement toward development of high Performance engines with improved fuel efficiency as well as a lightweight and a small size. These tendencies help to solve the problems in engines for example, such as thermal load. abnormal combustion and so on. In order to investigate these Problems, a thin film-type probe for measuring instantaneous temperature has been suggested. A method for manufacturing such a probe was established in this study The instantaneous surface temperature of a constant volume combustion chamber was measured by using this probe and the heat flux was obtained through Fourier analysis In order to thoroughly understand the characteristics of combustion. authors measured wall temperature of combustion chamber and calculated heat flux through a cylinder wall while varying the protrusion height of probe. For these Purposes, the instantaneous surface temperature probe was developed. thereby making possible the analysis of instantaneous temperature of wall surface and the detection of unsteady heat flux in the constant volume combustion chamber.

In order to examine the effect of initial spray condition on the spray combustion mode and flame characteristics, theoretical analysis was carried out to predict combustion mode and flame structure for various initial distribution of droplets in spray. A system of conservation equations of spray flame in two dimensional axisymmetric for two phase flow was solved by a discrete element method for n-Butylbenzen (C$_{10}$ $H_{14}$). As a results of present study, there are two principal group combustion modes that may occur independently for various initial group combustion numbers in a spray burner. These group combustion modes are termed as an external and internal group combustion mode. The critical group combustion number between the internal and external group combustion mode and the flame characteristics of those flame are also predicted. These results may be used as a basic data in the designing of new combustors as well as proper operating conditions for spray burners.s.

The thermo-acoustic instability in the combustion process of a gas turbine is caused by the interaction of the heat release mechanism and the pressure perturbation. These acoustic vibrations cause fatigue failure of the combustor and decrease the combustion efficiency. This study is to develop a segmented dynamic thermo-acoustic model to understand combustion instability of gas turbine. Therefore, this study required a dynamic analysis rather than static analysis, and developed a segmented model that can analyze the performance of the system over time using the Matlab/Simulink. The developed model can confirm the thermo-acoustic combustion instability and exhaust gas concentration in the combustion chamber according to the equivalent ratio change, and confirm the thermo-acoustic combustion instability for the inlet temperature and the load changes. As a result, segmented dynamic thermo-acoustic model has been developed to analyze combustion instability under the operating condition.

Ignition delay of second injection of HSDI diesel engine was usually much shorter than that of first injection. It is due to the interaction between radicals generated during the combustion process, and mixed gas of second injection. In this paper, To analyze combustion phenomena of multiple injection mode in HSDI diesel engine effectively, two-dimensional flamelet combustion model was modified. To reduce calculation time, two-dimensional flamelet equations were only applied near stoichiometric region. If this region was ignited, species and temperature of other region were changed to the steady-state solutions of one dimensional flamelet equations. By this method calculation time for solving flamelet equations was reduced to 20 percents, thought the results were almost same. Modified flamelet combustion model was coupled to commercial CFD code interactively using user subroutine.
