Fuel distribution, combustion, and flame propagation characteristics of heavy duty engine with the liquid phase LPG injection(LPLI) were studied in a single cylinder engine. Optically accessible single cylinder engine and laser diagnostics system were built for quantifying fuel concentration by acetone PLIF(planar laser induced fluorescence) measurements. In case of Otto cycle engine with large bore size, the engine knock and thermal stress of exhaust manifold are so critical that lean burn operation is needed to reduce the problems. It is generally known that fuel stratification is one of the key technologies to extend the lean misfire limit. The formation of rich mixture in the spark plug vicinity was achieved by open valve injection. With higher swirl strength(Rs=3.4) and open valve injection, the cloud of fuel followed the flow direction and the radial air/fuel mixing was limited by strong swirl flow. It was expected that axial stratification was maintained with open-valve injection if the radial component of the swirling motion was stronger than the axial components. The axial fuel stratification and concentration were sensitive to fuel injection timing in case of Rs=3.4 while those were relatively independent of the injection timing in case of Rs2.3. Thus, strong swirl flow could promote desirable axial fuel stratification and, in result, may make flame propagation stable in the early stage of combustion.

The effects of combustion instability on flow structure and flame dynamics with the inlet configurations in a model gas turbine combustor were investigated using large eddy simulation (LES). A G-equation flamelet model was employed to simulate the unsteady flame behaviors. As a result of mean flow field, the change of divergent half angle($\alpha$) at combustor inlet results in variations in the size and shape of the central toroidal recirculation (CTRZ) as well as the flame length by changing corner recirculation zone (CRZ). The case of ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$ show smaller size and upstream location of CTRZ than those of $90^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ by the development of higher swirl velocity. The flame length in the case of ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$ is shorter than other cases, while the case of ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$ yields the longest flame length due to the decrease of effective reactive area with the absence of CRZ. Through the analysis of pressure fluctuation, it was identified that the case of ${\alpha}=45^{\circ}$ shows the largest damping effect of pressure oscillation in all configurations and brings in the noise reduction of 2.97dB, compared to that of ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$ having the largest pressure oscillation. These reasons were discussed in detail through the analysis of unsteady phenomena related to recirculation zone and flame surface. Finally the effects of flame-acoustic interaction were evaluated using local Rayleigh parameter.

본 논문은 오존 방식 선박평형수 처리의 핵심 장치인 이젝터에 대하여 회전 운동하는 구동 유체가 기체-액체 이젝터의 효율에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구이다. 이젝터는 오존을 구동 노즐을 통해 분사되는 고압 액체(선박평형수)와 주변부의 저압 기체 간의 운동량 교환으로 발생되는 부압에 의해 기체(오존)를 흡입시키는 장치이다. 기존의 이젝터는 단순한 형태로 구동 유체가 분사되지만, 본 논문에서는 구동 노즐부에 회전 유도장치를 적용하여 구동 유체가 회전 운동하며 분사될 수 있도록 한다. 구동 유체의 회전 운동 유무에 따른 유동 특성을 파악하기 위하여 전산유체해석을 이용하였으며, 구동 유체의 압력과 유량, 흡입부에 발생하는 흡입 유체의 부압과 흡입 유량, 그리고 토출 압력이 예측되었다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 회전유도 장치가 적용된 이젝터의 효율은 22.25%로 산출되었으며, 구동 유체의 회전 운동이 없는 이젝터에 비해 약 1.7%의 효율이 향상되었다. 마지막으로 전산유체해석의 타당성을 검증하고자 실험 장치를 구축하여 회전 유도 장치가 적용된 이젝터에 대한 실험을 수행하였으며, 전산유체해석 결과와 비슷한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

휘발성 유기물질은 도장공정, 염색, 건조공정 등 화학공정에서 발생하는 저발열량 가스이다 VOCs의 특징은 발열량이 150kcal/㎥ 이하이며 착화를 위한 활성화 에너지가 높고 발생 에너지가 낮다는 것이다. 따라서 연소 안정성은 낮아지고 처리공정은 고에너지 소비공정이 된다. Cyclone연소시스템은 연소기 내에 강한 선회 유동을 만들어서 에너지를 순환시켜 활성화에너지를 낮추어주고 열밀도가 높아 일반적인 swirl 연소 시스템에 비해 고온의 연소온도를 유지할 수 있으며 혼합성을 향상시킨다 본 논문에서는 휘발성 유기물질의 열산화를 위해 최적의 cyclone 연소시스템을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 수행되었으며 특별히 설계된 연소기에서 연소온도와 배가스 조성에 미치는 swirl number의 영향을 정립하였다.

The droplet and the turbulent characteristics of a counterflowing internal mixing pneumatic nozzle mainly focused. The measurements were made using a Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer under the different air pressures. The nozzle with tangential-drilled holes at an angle of 30 to the central axis has been designed. The spatial distributions of velocities, fluctuating velocities, droplet diameters and SMD were quantitatively and qualitatively fluctuating velocities were substantially higher than the radial and the tangential ones. This implies that the disintegration process is enhanced with the higher air pressure. The larger droplets were detected near the spray centerline at the upstream while the smaller ones were generated at the downstream. This was attributed to the lower rates of spherical particles which were not subject to instantaneous breakup. However, substantial increases in SMD from the central part tower spray periphery were predictable in downstream regions.

The swirling flow developing in Francis turbine draft tube under part load operation leads to pressure fluctuations usually in the range of 0.2 to 0.4 times the runner rotational frequency resulting from the so-called vortex breakdown. For low cavitation number, the flow features a cavitation vortex rope animated with precession motion. Under given conditions, these pressure fluctuations may lead to undesirable pressure fluctuations in the entire hydraulic system and also produce active power oscillations. For the upper part load range, between 0.7 and 0.85 times the best efficiency discharge, pressure fluctuations may appear in a higher frequency range of 2 to 4 times the runner rotational speed and feature modulations with vortex rope precession. It has been pointed out that for this particular operating point, the vortex rope features elliptical cross section and is animated of a self-rotation. This paper presents an experimental investigation focusing on this peculiar phenomenon, defined as the upper part load vortex rope. The experimental investigation is carried out on a high specific speed Francis turbine scale model installed on a test rig of the EPFL Laboratory for Hydraulic Machines. The selected operating point corresponds to a discharge of 0.83 times the best efficiency discharge. Observations of the cavitation vortex carried out with high speed camera have been recorded and synchronized with pressure fluctuations measurements at the draft tube cone. First, the vortex rope self rotation frequency is evidenced and the related frequency is deduced. Then, the influence of the sigma cavitation number on vortex rope shape and pressure fluctuations is presented. The waterfall diagram of the pressure fluctuations evidences resonance effects with the hydraulic circuit. The influence of outlet bubble cavitation and air injection is also investigated for low cavitation number. The time evolution of the vortex rope volume is compared with pressure fluctuations time evolution using image processing. Finally, the influence of the Froude number on the vortex rope shape and the associated pressure fluctuations is analyzed by varying the rotational speed.

충돌형 산화제 주입기를 사용한 end-burning 하이브리드 연소기의 혼합특성을 선행 연구되었던 접선형 주입기와 비교 분석하였다. 충돌형 주입기를 사용한 연소유동장이 접선형 주입기에 비해 축방향 및 반경방향으로 월등한 혼합특성과 연소효율을 보였다. 충돌효과와 선회효과를 동시에 발생시키는 파생형 주입기를 사용한 결과, 보다 넓은 연소실 영역에서 혼합효율이 증대되었으며 연료 표면의 연소 균일도가 향상될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 충돌로 인한 축방향 운동량과 선회유동이 체류시간과 난류강도를 증가시켜 혼합을 촉진시키는 주요 인자로 판단되었으나 연소실의 기하학적 형상변화를 꾀한 step의 유무는 난류혼합 증진에 있어서 중요한 변수가 아님을 확인할 수 있었다.

Modeling swirling wakes is of considerable interest to wind farm designers. The present work is an attempt to develop a computational tool to understand free, far-wake development behind a single rotating wind turbine. Besides the standard momentum and continuity equations from the boundary layer theory in two dimensions, an additional equation for the conservation of angular momentum is introduced to study axisymmetric swirl effects on wake growth. Turbulence is simulated with two options: the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model and the Reynolds Stress transport model. A finite volume method is used to discretize the governing equations for mean flow and turbulence quantities. A marching algorithm of expanding grids is employed to enclose the growing far-wake and to solve the equations implicitly at every axial step. Axisymmetric far-wakes with/without swirl are studied at different Reynolds numbers and swirl numbers. Wake characteristics such as wake width, half radius, velocity profiles and pressure profiles are computed. Compared with the results obtained under similar flow conditions using the computational software, FLUENT, this far-wake model shows simplicity with acceptable accuracy, covering large wake regions in far-wake study.

In order to reduce NOx emissions in the 20kW class microturbine under development, the low NOx characteristics, as being an application to the lean premixed combustion technology, have been investigated. The study has been conducted at the conditions of high temperature and high pressure. Theair from a compressor with the pressure of 2.5bar, 3.0bar, 3.5bar was supplied to the combustor with the temperature 560K through the air preheat-treatment. The sampling exhaust gas was measured at the immediate exit of the combustor. For the effect of temperature on NO and CO emissions, though NOx were increased, CO was decreased with increasing inlet air temperature. With increasing inlet air pressure, NOx were increased and CO was decreased also. NOx were decreased, but CO was increased with increasing inlet air mass flow rate. The test has been performed on the equivalent ratio of 0.10 to 0.16 in the lean region. NOx were increased with increasing equivalent ratio, but CO was decreased as an influence of flame temperature. CFD work with an appropriate combustion model predicated a complicated swirling flow pattern in the combustor, and also produced a numerical value of NOx and CO emissions which was to be compared with the experimental one. As the results of this study, NOx are expected to be reduced to less than 42ppm at 15% O2 when operated at the design condition of the 20kW class microturbine.

물이 채워진 원통 용기를 회전시킨 후 배수하면 일정시간이 지난 후 공기기둥이 발생한다. 용기의 크기, 초기 회전 속도나 교반 속도, 배수구 모양 등의 배수조건에 따라 공기기둥의 발생 여부나 발생시간이 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 2 단으로 구성된 계단형 배수구를 가진 원통 용기에서 물이 배수되는 과정을 수치해석적으로 연구하였다. 하부에 위치한 배수구 1 단은 길이와 반경이 고정되어 있고, 상부에 위치한 2 단은 길이와 반경을 변화시켰다. 2 차원 격자계에 축대칭 조건을 적용하여 원통 용기 내부의 배수유동을 해석하였다. 물과 공기의 자유표면 모양을 추적하여 수위 변화를 관찰하였으며, 배수구 2단의 형상이 공기기둥 발생시간과 내부 유동구조 변화에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다.
