Flame structure and extinction mechanism of counterflow methane/air non-premixed flame diluted with nitrogen are studied by NASA 2.2 s drop tower experiments and two-dimensional numerical simulations with finite rate chemistry and transport properties. Extinction mechanism at low strain rate is examined through the comparison among results of microgravity experiment, 1D and 2D simulations with a finite burner diameter. A two-dimensional simulation in counterflow flame especially with a finite burner diameter is shown to be very important in explaining the importance of multidimensional effects and lateral heat loss in flame extinction, effects that cannot be understood using a one-dimensional flamelet model. Extinction mechanism at low strain rate is quite different from that at high strain rate. Low strain rate flame is extinguished initially at the outer flame edge, the flame shrinks inward, and finally is extinguished at the center. It is clarified from the overall fractional contribution by each term in energy equation to heat release rate that the contribution of radiation fraction with 1D and 2D simulations does not change so much and the overall fractional contribution is decisively attributed to radial conduction ('lateral heat loss'). The experiments by Maruta et at. can be only completely understood if multi-dimensional heat loss effects are considered. It is, as a result, verified that the turning point, which is caused only by pure radiation heat loss, has to be shifted towards much lower global strain rate in microgravity flame.

Carbon molecules with closed-cage structures are called fullerenes $(C_{60},\;C_{70})$, whose applications include super-conductors, sensors, catalysts, optical and electronic device, polymer composites, and biological and medical materials. The synthesis of fullerenes has been recently studied with low-pressure benzene/argon/oxygen flames. The formation of fullerene is known as molecular weight growth processes of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon). This study presents results of PAHs and fullerene measurements performed in a low-pressure benzene/argon/oxygen normal co-flow laminar diffusion flame. Through the central tube of the burner, benzene vapors carried by argon are injected. The benzene vapors are made in a temperature-controlled bubbler. The burner is located in a chamber, equipped with a sampling system for direct collection of condensable species from the flame, and exhausted to a vacuum pump. Samples of the condensable are analyzed by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) to determine the yields of PAHs and fullerene. Also, we computed mole fraction of fullerene and PAHs in a nearly sooting low pressure premixed, one-dimensional benzene/argon/oxygen flame (equivalence ratio ${\Phi}=2.4$, pressure=5.33kPa). The object of computation was to investigate the formation mechanism of fullerenes and PAHs. The computations were performed with CHEMKIN/PREMIX. As a result of this study, fullerenes were synthesized in a low pressure (20torr) $C_6H_6/Ar/O_2$ flames and the highest concentration of fullerene was detected just above the visible surface of a flame.

In this study, it is investigated that the possibility of the numerical simulation for the incineration of the hazardous material, crbon tetrachloride($CCl_4$). A 3-dimensional numerical technology is applied for turbulent reacting flows of the full-scale Dow Chemical incinerator. The calculations are made by a CRAY-2S, super computer. The major parameters considered in this study are kiln revolution rate (rpm), filling ratio of the solid waste(f), burner Injection velocity and angle, and turbulent air jets for swirl. And the employed turbulent reaction model is the eddy break-up model which is a kind of fast chemistry model assuming general equilibrium and used for a premixed flame. The calculated flow fields are presented and discussed. 1) The presence of turbulent air nozzles for swirl gives rise to visible increase of the convective motion over the region of the solid waste. This implies the possibility to enhance the mixing of the waste with the surrounding all and thereby to reduce thermal and species stratification, which were reported in a large rotary kiln operation. 2) Considering that the location of the recirculation region has a strong relation with the heating rate of the solid waste, the control of the recirculation region by the burner injection angle Is quite desirable in the sense of the flexible design of the rotary kiln incinerator for a carbon tetrachloride. 3) Finally, it is found that the eddy break-up model Is not suitable for carbon tetrachloride($CCl_4$) because this model is not incorporated the flame inhibition trend due to the presence $CCl_4$compound.

마이크로 가스터빈용 하이브리드/이중 선회 제트 연소기의 형상 최적화에 대한 실험연구가 수행되었다. 고정된 열부하에서 pilot 버너의 위치 및 선회기 베인의 방향이 주요 변수로 검토되었다. 주요 결과로서, pilot 버너 및 연료 노즐의 위치변화는 버너 출구 근처의 최소 유동면적 및 재순환 유동패턴의 변화를 발생시키며, 이로 인하여 선회강도 및 화염형상이 큰 영향을 받게 된다. 선회기 베인 각도의 증가($30^{\circ}$에서 $45^{\circ}$)는 희박가연한계 근처에서 CO 배출량을 크게 저감시킨다. 추가로 정방향 선회형상이 역방향 선회형상에 비해 보다 낮은 CO 및 NOx 배출량을 갖게 됨을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 이중원추형 버너가 장착된 고압연소기를 이용하여 입구공기온도, 공기비 그리고 연소실 압력조건에 따른 NOx 배출 특성을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 배기가스 온도와 NOx 배출량은 동일한 연소실 끝단지점에서 측정되었다. NOx 배출량은 공기비가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 입구공기 온도와 연소실의 압력이 높아질수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 특히 입구공기 온도의 증가는 희박 영역에서 가연한계를 증가시켜 높은 단열화염 온도를 가짐에도 불고하고 저감된 NOx 배출 수준을 얻을 수 있었다. 연소실 압력이 증가할수록 Thermal NOx의 영향을 받는 영역에서의 NOx 배출은 큰 폭의 상승을 보였으나, 공기비가 1.8이상인 영역에서는 적은 연료량으로 인하여 적은 상승폭을 나타내었다.

A Experimental study on flame extinction behavior was investigated using He curtain flow with counter triple co-flow burner. Buoyancy force was suppressed up to a microgravity level of $10^{-2}-10^{-3}g$ by using He curtain flow. The stability maps were provided with a functional dependency of diluent mole fraction and global strain rate to clarify the differences in flame extinction behavior. The flame extinction curves had C-shapes at various global strain rates. The oscillation and extinction modes were different each other in terms of the global strain rate, and the flames extinction modes could be classified into five modes such as (I) and (II): an extinction through the shrinkage of the outmost edge flame forward the flame center after self-excitation and without self-excitation, respectively, (III): an extinction through rapid advancement of a flame hole while the outmost edge flame is stationary, (IV): self-excitation occurs in the outermost edge flame and the center edge flame and then a donut shaped flame is formed and/or the flame is entirely extinguished, (V): shrinkage of the outermost edge flame without self-excitation followed by shrinkage or survival of the center flame. These oscillation and extinction modes could be identified well to the behavior of edge flame. The result also showed that the edge flame was influenced significantly by the conductive heat losses to the flame center or ambient He curtain flow.

본 연구의 목적은 예혼합방식의 버너 앞에 소형 열교환기를 설치한 후 당량비를 변화시킬 때 NOx와 CO의 배출특성을 검토하고 열교환기 유용도와 엔트로피 생성수를 실험결과를 바탕으로 계산한 것이다. 실험결과 당량비가 증가할수록 화염온도가 높아지면서 열전달율은 상승한다. 배기가스 오염물질량과 유용도를 고려할 경우 본 실험범위에서의 적정 운전당량비는 0.75이다. 유용도를 증가시키고 엔트로피 생성량을 줄이기 위해서는 연소가스의 열전달량을 증가시켜야 하며 따라서 열교환기 면적을 증가시키는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다.

A flame stability diagram in a partially premixed flame is typically expressed using the axis coordinates of heat input rate and equivalence ratio. These diagrams are inadequate for identifying changes in combustion conditions and flame stability when a reference fuel is substituted with other fuels under identical operating conditions. This study proposes a new type of diagram and validates it experimentally. In this new diagram, the axis coordinates are air flow rate and Wobbe fuel flow rate, defined as the fuel flow rate multiplied by the square root of the relative density. The diagram was validated in trials using various fuels, including $CH_4$, $C_{3}H_{8}$, and LFG-$C_{3}H_{8}$ mixed fuels, in a domestic gas-range and an gas interchangeability test burner. The results of these trials show that the new diagram can provide information useful for assessing gas interchangeability of combustion conditions and flame stability when one fuel is substituted with another under identical operating conditions.

Oxy-fuel flame has a significantly different structure from that of air-fuel flame because of its high temperature. This study is aimed to find out the difference of the oxy-fuel flame structure in order to understand reaction mechanism closely, which is crucial to design real-scale oxy-fuel combustion system. By examining pictures of counterflow flame and LIF images, we found that oxy-fuel flame had two-zone structure: fuel decomposition region and distributed CO oxidation region. In the oxy-fuel flame, OH radical was distributed intensely through the whole flame due to its higher flame temperature than crossover temperature. For showing those features of the oxy-fuel flame, 1 MW scale IFRF oxy-natural gas burner was simulated by conditional moment closure(CMC) model. Calculation results were compared with experimental data, and showed agreements in trend. In the simulated distributions of fuel decomposition/CO oxidation rates, CO oxidation region was also separated from fuel decomposition zone considerably, which showed the two-zone structure in the oxy-fuel flame.

By using a premixed laminar burner, the effect of mixture component on laminar burning velocity($S_L$) was investigated. The following was made clear ; (1)As the humidity$(H_2O)$, $CO_2$ and Ar in mixture is increased, $S_L$ decreased in proportion to quantity of those dilution gases. (2) The heat reaction theory says that mean thermal conductivity $(\lambda_m)$, specific heat $(C_{pm})$ of mixture and adiabatic flame temperatures $(T_b)$ affect $S_L$. As a result of theoretical analysis, the effect of $\lambda_m\;and\;C_{pm}$ on $S_L$ is less than 1/25 of the effect of $T_b$, so the effect of $\lambda_m\;and\;C_{pm}$ can be ignored. (3) From experimental results, it was confirmed that $\ln(S_L)$ is proportional to $(1/T_b)$, that is, the effect of $H_2O$ on $S_L$ is mainly caused by changes of $T_b$. This conclusion was verified by the fact increases of $H_2O,\;CO_2$ and Ar decrease the intensity of radiation typical $C_2$, CH, and OH in the same manner.
