Under part load condition of spark-ignition engine, pumping loss had great effect on engine efficiency. To reduce pumping loss, the study designed spark-ignited engines to make direct spray of gasoline to combustion chamber. In spark-ignited direct-injection engines, ignition probability is important for successful combustion and flame propagation characteristics are also different from pre-mixed combustion. This study designed a visualization testing device to study ignition probability of spark-ignited direct-injection LPG fuel and combustion flame characteristics. This visualization device consists of combustion chamber, fuel supply system, air supply system, electronic control system and data acquisition system. Ambient pressure, ambient temperature and ambient air flow velocity are important parameters on ignition probability of LPG-air mixture and flame propagation characteristics, and the study also found that sprayed LPG fuel can be directly ignited by spark-plug under proper ambient conditions. To all successful cases of ignition, the study recorded flame propagation image in digital method through ICCD camera and its flame propagation characteristics were analyzed.

The effect of heat loss on combustion performance and burning velocity of micro combustors in various conditions were exploited experimentally. Three different gases were used, and various geometric matrixes were considered to figure out the phenomena of combustion in a micro combustor. The micro combustors used in this study were constant volume combustors and had cylindrical shape. Geometric parameter of combustor was defined as combustor height and diameter. The effect of height was exploited parametrically as 1mm, 2mm and 3 mm and the effect of diameter was parameterized to be 7.5 mm and 15 mm. Three different combustibles which were Stoichiometric mixtures of methane and air, hydrogen and air, and mixture of hydrogen and air with fuel stoichiometry of two were used. By pressure measurement and visualization of flame propagation, characteristic of flame propagation was obtained. Flame propagations which were synchronized with pressure change within combustor were analyzed. From the analysis of images obtained during the flame propagations, burning velocity at each location of flame was obtained. About $7\%$ decrease in burning velocity of $CH_4/Air$ stoichiometric mixture compared with previous a empirical result was observed, and we can conclude that it is acceptable to use empirical equations for laminar premixed flame burning velocity to micro combustions. Results presented in this paper will give fine tool for analysis and prediction of combustion process within micro combustors.

The characteristics of flame propagation in inert particle-laden $H_2$/Air premixed gas are numerically investigated on this study. The 2nd order TVD scheme is applied to numerical analysis of governing equations and multi-step chemical reaction model and detailed transport properties are sued to solve chemical reaction terms. Radiation heat transfer is computed by applying the finite volume method to a radiative transfer equation. The burning velocities against the mole fractions of hydrogen agree well with results performed by different workers. The inert particles play significant roles in the flame propagation on account of momentum and heat transfer between gas and particles. Gas temperature, pressure and flame propagation speed are decreased as the loading ratio of particle is increased. Also the products behind flame zone contain lots of water vapor whose absorption coefficient is much larger than that of unburned gas. Thus, the radiation effect of gas and particles must be considered simultaneously for the flame propagation in a mixture of $H_2$/Air and inert particles. As a result, it is founded that because the water vapor emits much radiation and this emitted radiation is released at boundaries as radiant heat loss as well as reabsorbed by gas and particles, flame propagation speed and flame structure are altered with radiation effect.

동일 분체특성의 분진이 평균입경, 농도, 분진조건(부유 또는 퇴적) 변화에 따른 화재폭발 위험성을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 20L분진폭발시험장치, 열중량분석장치, 연소속도시험장치(UN시험법)를 사용하였다. 4종 분진(Sugar, Mg, Al, Zr)의 입경이 서로 다른 8개 분진 시료에 대하여 부유 분진의 폭발특성과 화염전파속도(FPV), 그리고 퇴적분진의 화염확산속도(FSV)를 조사하였다. 부유 분진 조건에서 Mg 및 Al 분진은 입경이 감소하면 폭발 위험성이 증가하였지만, Sugar는 입경 변화에 따른 폭발 위험성의 영향이 거의 나타나지 않았다. 부유 분진의 화염전파속도(FPV)는 마이크로 범위에서의 입경 변화보다 마이크로에서 나노로 입경이 감소하면 크게 증가하였다. 퇴적층의 화염확산속도(FSV)는 수평면(기울기 0°)보다 경사면(기울기 30°)에서 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 경사면(기울기 30°) 퇴적층 조건에서는 상방 전파가 하방 전파보다 높게 나타났다.

In a spark ignition engine, in order to make research on flame propagation, attentive concentration should be paid on initial combustion stage about the formation and development of flame. In addition, the initial stage of combustion governs overall combustion period in a spark ignition engine. With the increase of the size of flame kernel, it could reach initial flame stage easily, and the mixture could proceed to the combustion of stabilized state. Therefore, we must study the theoretical calculation of minimum flame kernel radius which effects on the formation and development of kernel. To calculate the minimum flame kernel radius, we must know the thermal conductivity, flame temperature, laminar burning velocity and etc. The thermal conductivity is derived from the molecular kinetic theory, the flame temperature from the chemical reaction equations and the laminar burning velocity from the D.K.Kuehl's formula. In order to estimate the correctness of the theoretically calculated minimum flame kernel radius, the researcheres compared it with the RMaly's experimental values.

Experimental investigations were performed to assess the influences of different multiple obstacles on flame propagation in a rectangular confinement. Three different multiple obstacles were used: circular, triangular and square cross-sections with blockage ratios of 15% and 30%. The same method described in Park et al. [13] to investigate the interaction between the propagating flame and the obstacle was applied. Before the freely propagating flame impinged on the obstacle, the flame propagation speed remains close to the laminar burning velocity, regardless of the obstacles used. The reported data revealed that the trend in increase of the local flame propagation speed is a result of the interaction between the obstacle and the propagating flame front behind the obstacle. The local speed was found to increase from a circular to a triangular and a square obstacle. The mean flame speed was found to be less dependent on both the obstacle types and the different blockage ratios used.

다중 장애물을 가지는 폭발챔버에서 전파하는 화염과 국부 장애물의 상관관계를 조사하기 위하여 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 폭발챔버 높이 235 mm, 단면적 $1,000{\times}950\;mm^2$, 벤트면적 $1,000{\times}320\;mm^2$를 가지는 폭발챔버를 제작하였으며, 30% blockage ratio를 가지는 장애물을 챔버내에 설치하였다. 전파하는 화염과 장애물의 상관관계를 조사하기 위해 고속카메리를 사용하였다. 고속카메라로 얻어진 화염 이미지로부터 장애물 주위의 국부 화염전파 거동은 2가지 다른 방법, 즉 전파하는 화염전면(flame front)의 각 pixel point에서 산정된 평균 화염전파속도와 연소면적 증가(incremental burnt area)/화염전면 길이(flame front length) 관점에서 분석하였다. 분석결과, 2가지 방법으로 얻은 결과는 거의 일치하는 경향을 나타났으며, 전파하는 화염이 장애물의 전면과 상호 작용할 때 화염속도는 급격히 증가하다가 장애물의 후단면에서 약간 감소하고, 화염이 장애물 후단에서 재결합될 때 다시 급격히 증가하였다.

In this investigation, turbulent premixed combustion and flame front propagation in a gas turbine combustion chamber is studied. Direct numerical simulation of turbulent reacting flows demands extremely high computational resources, especially in more complicated geometry. The alternative choice may be left for Large Eddy Simulation (LES) by which only large scales are solved directly. In combustion problems, capturing the large scales' behavior without solving the details of small scales is a difficult task. Using a transport equation for description of the flame front propagation and therefore avoiding the calculation of inner flame structure is the basic idea of this study. For this purpose. the so-called G-equation has been used by which any iso-level of the G variable provides the flame location. A comparison with the experiment indicates that the present method can predict a turbulent velocity field and also capture a instantaneous 3-dimensional flame structure.

정상초음파장의 주파수 변이가 프로판/공기 예혼합화염의 전파거동 및 구조변이에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위해 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 다양한 당량비 조건에서 슐리렌 기법을 적용한 전파화염 가시화와 연소실 내부압력 측정을 통해 생성물 영역에서의 화염 구조변화 및 전파특성을 관찰하였다. 정상초음파가 존재할 경우 화염선단이 찌그러지고 기연부에서 횡방향 줄무늬가 생성되며, 이러한 구조변이는 정상초음파의 주파수에 종속한다. 또, 전파속도는 정상초음파가 교반하는 경우 증가되며, 화염전파 거동에 미치는 초음파의 영향은 주파수의 증가에 따라 보다 명확해진다는 사실도 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 분진폭발에 있어서 기초적 현상을 규명하고 분진의 화염구조와 메커니즘에 대하여 실험적으로 조사하였다. 실험장치는 길이 1.8 m, 단면이 0.15 m의 정방형인 수직연소관을 사용하였으며, 덕트 내를 전파하는 상방 분진층류화염과 화염면에 대하여 고속카메라를 사용하여 가시화하였다. 또한 슐리렌, 이온프로브, 열전대 등을 사용하여 예열대 및 반응대의 두께를 측정하였다. 석송자 분진화염의 예열대 두께는 4~13 mm로 탄화수소가스의 예혼합기 화염보다도 수배 크다. 입자화상유속법(PIV)에 의한 해석 결과, 예열대에서의 미연소 입자의 체류 시간은 입자의 열분해가스 생성에 필요하며, 체류시간은 화염전파속도, 입자속도 및 예열대 두께에 의존하는 것을 알았다.
