Double cone 버너를 장착한 스월 예혼합 연소기에 대한 유동 및 연소 특성을 분석하여 swirler 모델을 이용한 수치적 모델링 방법을 제시하였다. 버너 출구에서 형성되는 내부 재순환 영역을 근사적으로 구현하도록 swiler의 내 외경을 각각 56 mm, 152 mm로 결정하였으며 이를 토대로 유량, 반경 반향 속도를 결정하였다. 접선 방향 속도의 설정을 위해 swirl 각도와 재순환 각도를 도입하였으며 40 m/s인 경우 유사한 내부 재순환 영역이 형성되었다. 라이너 출구에서 온도와 속도의 오차는 각각 2.8%, 0%로 작았지만, NOx의 경우 67% 가량 감소한 결과를 보였다. Swirler 모델은 EV 버너의 유동 및 연소 특성을 근사적으로 모사하는 모델의 하나로서 정량적 평가 인자에서 오차를 보이지만, 유동 및 화염, NOx 형성 영역의 경향성이 유사하므로 swirler 모델을 채택하여 복잡한 형상의 발전용 가스터빈 연소기의 효율적인 수치해석이 타당할 것으로 판단된다.

The fuel-lean premixed flame has been considered one of the most efficient ways to reduce $NO_X$ emission during a combustion process. However, it is difficult to achieve stable fuel-lean premixed flames over the wide range of equivalence ratios: therefore, the application of fuel-lean flames to a practical combustion system is rather limited. In this study, the stability characteristics of fuel-lean flames stabilized by fuel-rich flames are investigated experimentally using a slot burner as a part of the basic research for practical application such as lean burn engines. Spontaneous emission of radical species were examined to understand the stability mechanisms of rich-lean premixed flames. The presence of fuel-rich flames could significantly lower the lean limit of fuel-lean flames. The stability of a fuel-lean flame is enhanced with the increase of fuel flow rate in a fuel-rich flame; how ever, it is not sensitive to the equivalence ratio of fuel-rich flames in the range of 1.2-2.4. The mechanisms of stable rich-lean premixed flames could be understood based on the characteristics of triple flame.

A strong combustion-driven sound from a surface burner made of a perforated metal fiber plate for premixed gas was investigated to clarify the physical mechanism of its generation. A simple model was developed for the acoustic power generation in terms of the heat transfer response function and the acoustic impedance of the burner. The acoustic impedance of the perforated metal fiber placed on the open exit was measured and the heat release response of the burner to the oscillating flow associated with the acoustic disturbance was expressed in terms of a response function. It was found that the power is generated by the heat release in response to the downstream particle velocity, in contrast to the upstream velocity in the case of the Rijke oscillation driven by a heater placed in the lower half of a columm with upstream flow. The measured frequencies of the oscillation were in agreement with the estimated resonance frequencies and their excitation was varied with the combustion conditions. For the same fuel rate, the excited frequency increases with the air ratio if it is low but decreases with the ratio if not so low. Such frequency characteristics were explained by assuming a heat release response function with a time constant and it was shown that the excited frequency decreases as the time constant increases.

Flame stabilization conditions and combustion noise characteristics induced by premixed flames in sudden expansion channels were experimentally investigated. Nozzle size and channel scale were varied continuously, and variation of flame behaviors was examined. Combustion noise was observed at specific configurational conditions, and their mechanism was investigated. This study will help understand premixed flame instability at the burner surface.

Flame stabilization characteristics of premixed flames in an annular coaxial 5-tubes burner (AC5TB) were investigated experimentally. The AC5TB was made of five quartz tubes, and the flame stabilization conditions in that burner were investigated with the variation of equivalence ratio and the flow velocities. Flame behaviors inside of narrow annular tubes could be observed directly. Overall flame stabilization conditions were similar to that of the previous study, while the flame behaviors and structures were different mainly due to the controlled uniform distribution of the velocities in channels. Flame flashback conditions were thought to be governed by the competition between heat release rate, heat loss and heat recirculation in each channel. Stationary flames at a fixed location were compared in its velocity distribution and burned gas temperature across the channel. This AC5TB can be a basic configuration for the development of flame stabilization model of porous media combustors, and it will help understand about the real behavior of flames in meso-scale combustion spaces.

Experimental measurements are conducted to investigate the structure of flat $CH_4/O_2/N_2$ premixed flames. The flames are simulated using a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism. Four flames established at equivalence ratio = 0.55 are studied with the different $O_2$ enrichment level, ${\Omega}$ = 0.21, 0.25, 0.30, and 0.35. The measured flame speed and species composition profiles are compared with the calculations. Whereas there is overall good agreement between the measurements and predictions, it appears that as the $O_2$ enrichment level is increased the position of the flame is moved toward the exit of the burner and the rapid temperature rise happens near the exit of the burner, and some areas of further refinement in the kinetic mechanism are identified.

The availability of the thermal energy has been deeply recognized recently to encourage the cascade usage of thermal energy from combustion. Within the frame work, a 1 kW class Stirling engine based cogeneration system has been proposed for a unit of a distributed energy system. The capacity has been designed to be adequate for the domestic usage, which requires high compactness as well as low emission and noised. To develop a highly efficient system with satisfying these requirements, a premixed slot flame burner has been proposed and a series of numerical simulation has been performed to establish a design tool for the combustion chamber. The thermal radiation model has been found to highly affect the computational results and a proper resolution to analyze the heat transfer characteristics of the high temperature heat exchanger. Finally, the combustion characteristics of the premixed flame with the metal fiber type burner has been studied.

This study has numerically investigated the combustion processes in the bilayer porous media. To account for the velocity transition and diffusion influenced by solid matrix, porosity effects are included in the governing equations. Heat transfer coefficient is calculated by Nusselt number to reflect the effect of gas velocity, pore diameter, and material properties. Numerical results indicate that the present approach is capable of the essential features of the premixed combustion in the porous burner, in terms of the precised flame structure, pollutant formation, and flame stabilization. It is also found that heat transferred from the downstream flame zone is conducted to the upstream flame region through the solid matrix and the preheated mixture. By increasing the inlet velocity, the solid temperature of upstream is cooling down.

Sawtooth mixing device used in a non-premixed burner is evaluated for flame stabilization and NO$_{x}$ reduction. Three mixers with different blade angles are tested. Methane is delivered through the fuel jet and air passes through the co-flow annulus. The flame mode changes (attached flame, lifted flame and extinction) against the fuel flow speed are measured, and the stability diagram is drawn. Moreover, by traversing thermocouple and sampling probe in the flame, the distribution of temperature and NO$_{x}$ mole fraction are measured. With the change in blade angle, flame shape, flame stabilization, the distribution of temperature and NO$_{x}$ mole fraction are changed considerably.rably.

Large-scale fuel tanks emit massive amount of hardly-combustible VOC mixtures which are light hydrocarbon species in dilution with nitrogen and carbon dioxide. We have developed a lab-scale burner to combust those VOC mixtures by use of a turbulent partially-premixed flame as a pilot flame. For a higher HC treatment ratio, the mixture gases were reformed by a rotating arc plasma device. The results showed that the nitrogen mole fraction and the injecting speed of the VOC mixture influence on the performance of the burner. It was also found that the size of the pilot flame and the power supplied to the plasma device determine the overall HC treatment ratio and the concentrations of CO and NOx in the exhaust gas.
