In gas turbine technology, the flame stability is inherently greater in conventional diffusion type combustion over a wider range fuel to oxidizer ratio. However, premixed type combustion which has narrow flame stability region, is widely used due to environmental reason. It has been observed in experiments that combustion instability of low frequency (${\sim}10Hz$) results from the modulation of equivalence ratio at fuel injection hole when a pressure fluctuation propagates upwards along the channel of the burner under an unchoked fuel flow condition. In this study, a commercial program was used to determine how the fuel flow rate changed with respect to the pressure, velocity of the fuel flow and the mass fraction in a choked and an unchoked condition. The calculation focuses on the upstream of the dump plane to know how the forced pressure with the fuel injection conditions affects the modulation of the equivalence ratio. Therefore, it is found that pressure fluctuation leads to oscillation of mass flow rate and then results in equivalence ratio modulation under the unchoked fuel flow condition.

A numerical study on lifted flame structure in impinging jet geometry with syngas composition ratio was investigated. The numerical calculations including chemical kinetic analysis were conducted using SPIN application of the CHEMKIN Package with Davis-Mechanism. The flame temperature and velocity profiles were calculated at the steady state for one-dimensional stagnation flow geometry. Syngas mixture compositions were adjusted such as $H_2:CO=10:90(10P)$, 20 : 80 (20P), 30 : 70 (30P), 40 : 60 (40P), 50 : 50 (50P). As composition ratios are changed from 10P to 50P, the axial velocity and flame temperature increase because the contents of hydrogen that have faster burning velocity increase. This phenomenon is due to increase in good reactive radicals such as H, OH radical. As a result of active reactivity, the burning velocity is more faster and this is confirmed by numerical methods. Consequently, combustion reaction zone was moved to burner nozzle.

Numerical simulations were performed for the prediction of the flame structure during the interaction between hydrogen and hydrocarbon flames. A counterflow flow geometry was introduced to establish the interacting two flames. Methane was used as a representative hydrocarbon fuel in this study. A well-known numerical code for the counterflow flame, OPPDIF, was used for the simulations. The detailed chemistry was adopted to predict the flame structure reasonably. The interaction of two one-dimensional premixed flames established in counterflow burner was investigated with the global strain rate and velocity ratio. It was found that the maximum temperature located near the methane flame surface while the heat release rate of methane was lower than hydrogen flame. The flame thickness become narrow with increasing the velocity ratio while the global strain rate was fixed. The local strain rate and heat release rate at the methane flame surface were correlated with the global strain rate, while those at the hydrogen flame were not correlated with the global strain rate. However, the maximum temperature of the interacting flames was correlated with the global strain rate.

Experimental and numerical data were compared through a counterflow burner for the characteristic of basic flame about SNG- C11. In order to use the numerical mechanism accurately, the validation was carried out at strain rate ($a_g=30$, $120s^{-1}$) and the UCSD model showed satisfactory results. The effective Lewis number of the extinction boundary, and the behavior of extinction for the symmetric flames of the SNG-C11, could be explained through the trend of $Le_V$, and the flame of the extinction condition was inspected by the major species, key radicals and the chemical reaction paths. The interactions phenomenon in the merged flames has chemical reaction path for producing $HO_2$ were generated at stagnation point. It can be expected the one of major factors in interaction phenomenon.

희박 예혼합 연소방식을 채용한 150MW급 대형 저 NOx 가스터빈 연소기에서 발생하는 급격한 연소진동 발생을 저감하였다. 희박 예혼합 연소기에서는 연소튜닝이 적절히 이루어지지 많은 경우에 연소불안정에 기인한 높은 연소진동의 발생과 함께 NOx 배출량이 높아질 가능성이 있다. 대상 가스터빈의 연소 모드 전환 중에 발생하는 연소진동의 주파수와 크기는 각각 80Hz및 4-9psi로 나타났으며, 대기온도가 낮아짐에 따라 연소진동의 크기가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 연소진동에 영향을 미치는 인자로서 버너노즐로 공급되는 연료유량을 균등화하기 위한 연소튜닝과 연소모드 전환시 연료라인에 연료를 미리 공급(prefilling)하는 것이 화염안정에 매우 큰 효과가 있었다. 그 결과 연소모드 전환 중에 발생하는 연소진동을 2.5psi까지 저감할 수 있었으며, 150 MW기저부하 운전 중에 NOx 발생량을 35-43ppm(15% $O_2$)으로 유지할 수 있었다.

When triple flames propagated in a diverging channel, the effects of fuel dilution on the lift-off characteristics of triple flames were investigated. A multi-slot burner was used to stabilize the lift-off flame especially at weak fuel concentration gradients. It was reported that there is a maximum propagation velocity at a critical concentration gradient in an open jet regardless of fuel dilution. The enhancement of a diffusion flame affected to increase the propagation velocity around critical concentration gradients. However, the influence of a confined channel on the structure of triple flames according to fuel dilution needs to be investigated compared with an open jet case. This study aimed to examine the effect of a confined channel on the structure and the propagation velocity of the triple flames according to fuel dilution. Lift-off height and propagation velocity of triple flames were investigated by employing three kinds of fuel compositions diluted by nitrogen (0%, 25%, 50% $N_2$), Fuel dilution reduced the propagation velocity of triple flame in a confined channel mainly due to the decrease of flame temperature in premixed branch. Despite the difference in fuel dilution, the propagation velocity has a maximum value at a specific fuel concentration gradient even though the critical concentration gradient increases with fuel dilution. And the critical concentration gradient in a confined channel is larger than that in an open jet due to enhancement of convective diffusion.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of laminar syngas/air mixture with 10% hydrogen content impinging normally to a flat plate of cylinder. Effects of impinging distance, Reynolds number and equivalence ratio as major parameters on heat fluxes of stagnation point and radial direction were examined experimentally by the direct photos and data acquisitions from heat flux sensor. In this work, we could find the incurved flame behavior of line shaped inner top-flame in very closed distance between flat plate and burner exit, which has been not reported from general gas-fuels. There were 3 times of maximum and 2 times minimum heat flux of stagnation point with respect to the impinging distance for the investigation of Reynolds number and equivalence ratio effect. It was confirmed that the maximum heat flux of stagnation point in 1'st and 2'nd peaks increased with the increase of the Reynolds number due to the Nusselt number increment. There was a third maximum rise in the heat flux of stagnation point for larger separation distances and this phenomenon was different each for laminar and turbulent condition. The heat transfer characteristics between the stagnation and wall jet region in radial heat flux profiles was investigated by the averaged heat flux value. It has been observed that the values of averaged heat flux traced well with the characteristics of major parameters and the decreasing of averaged heat flux was coincided with the decreasing trend of adiabatic temperature in spite of the same flow condition, especially for impinging distance and equivalence ratio effects.

The combustion characteristics of methane/hydrogen pre-mixed flame have been investigated with swirl stabilized flame in a laboratory-scale pre-mixed combustor with constant heat load of 5.81 kW. Hydrogen/methane fuel and air were mixed in a pre-mixer and introduced to the combustor through a burner nozzle with different degrees of swirl angle. The effects of hydrogen addition and swirl intensity on the combustion characteristics of pre-mixed methane flames were examined using particle image velocimetry (PIV), micro-thermocouples, various optical interference filters and gas analyzers to provide information about flow velocity, temperature distributions, and species concentrations of the reaction field. The results show that higher swirl intensity creates more recirculation flow, which reduces the temperature of the reaction zone and, consequently, reduces the thermal NO production. The distributions of flame radicals (OH, CH, C₂) are dependent more on the swirl intensity than the percentage of hydrogen added to methane fuel. The NO concentration at the upper part of the reaction zone is increased with an increase in hydrogen content in the fuel mixture because higher combustibility of hydrogen assists to promote faster chemical reaction, enabling more expansion of the gases at the upper part of the reaction zone, which reduces the recirculation flow. The CO concentration in the reaction zone is reduced with an increase in hydrogen content because the amount of C content is relatively decreased.
