    Various statistical approaches have been recently proposed to detect combustion instabilities in a short time through a fast data processing on dynamic pressure of time domain measured in a gas turbine combustor. In the current study, four methods, PE(permutation entropy), TK(temporal kurtosis), ZCR(zero crossing rate), and STFT(short time Fourier transform), were applied and compared with the conventional instability onset-detection method, RMS(root mean square), using the same dynamic pressure data measured in a lab-scale gas turbine combustor. As a result of the comparison, it was found that PE, TK, and ZCR can detect combustion vibration earlier than the instability onset time determined by RMS. On the other hand, STFT did not show relatively good early detection characteristics. - COLLAPSE

    In this study, the effects of electric field on the propane premixed flame were experimentally investigated. The experiment was conducted by observing the chemiluminescence of radicals, measuring the temperature of the flow field and the NOx emission of exhaust gas. The regions of OH, and CH radicals expanded toward the radial direction in negative electric field, and it moved toward burner under the positive electric field. The temperature Distribution of flow field was changed with the radical position in each electric field condition. The temperature of flow field unified when negative electric field applied, and NOx reduced to maximally about 6.8%. On the other hand, it increased to maximally about 19% in positive electric field because the flame contracted toward the center. - COLLAPSE

    The effect of radial fuel staging on combustion instabilities and NOx/CO emissions characteristics was investigated in a mesoscale multinozzle array consisting of sixty swirl injectors. We observe that inner fuel staging effectively mitigates high-amplitude oscillations by controlling the collective motion of the small-scale flames. The production of thermal NOx and CO emissions, however, tends to increase due to the presence of high-temperature region in the center flames. This result means that combustion dynamics and exhaust emissions need to be compromised when radial fuel staging scheme is used in gas turbine combustor environments. - COLLAPSE

    The present work investigated the NOx reduction effect that can be obtained by periodically changing the local equivalence ratio by repeatedly controlling the fuel flow. When there was no pressure pulsation of the fuel, the NOx emission was 30.3 ppm (O2 vol.11%), and the NOx emission was reduced from 4% to 30% according to the pulsation variables. Since it is difficult to directly measure the instantaneous mass and volumetric flow rate during a periodic change on a 103-millisecond scale in an industrial-scale experiment, the measured pressure was used to calculate the mass and volumetric flow rate. The fuel and air supply pressure was fixed at 700 mmH2O, and when flow pulsation occurred in the fuel pipe, the pressure was changed within the range of 150 to 694 mmH2O. As a result of calculation through the one-dimensional model, it had a local equivalence ratio range of 0.108 to 0.776. In the chemical equilibrium domain of methane, the relationship between the local equivalence ratio change and combustion products according to the operating characteristics of the fuel-flow pulsation valve was discussed. - COLLAPSE

    There have been many studies on the combustion characteristics of lower alcohols in diesel engines, but information on higher alcohols is relatively scarce. In this study, diesel/1-decanol blends were prepared to investigate the combustion and emission characteristics of a single-cylinder 4-stroke diesel engine. The concentration of 1-decanol in the fuel blends was 10%, 15%, and 20% by volume. Experiments were conducted by varying the engine torque from 4 Nm to 12 Nm at the same engine speed of 2000 rpm. Results show that the thermal efficiency and smoke opacity decreased while the brake specific fuel consumption increased with blended fuels. The concentration of NOx in the exhaust gas generally reduced, while it increased for some conditions with 20% 1-decanol as the load increased. CO emissions increased for relatively high loads when the 1-decanol ratio is 15% and 20% due to the reduction in the air-fuel ratio. - COLLAPSE

    White smoke emission from decrepit construction vehicles is one of the main causes of fine dust production. In particular, despite the fact that a large amount of white smoke is occurring in the vehicles such as decrepit construction machinery equipped with DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), no technical solution has been found yet. This study aims to analyze the causes of white smoke emission that occurs in DPF system and propose technical solutions to resolve the issues. The performance and operational characteristics of the burner mounted to thermally manage the DPF performance are the main causes of the occurrence of white smoke. The fundamental ignition mechanism of the diesel burners was investigated depending on the types of ignition sources; the rotating gliding arc for plasma burner and glow plug for conventional diesel burner. It was verified that plasma burner can be applied to drastically reduce the occurrence of white smoke. - COLLAPSE
