Two factors that affect NO_X emission of swirl premix burner are investigated numerically in the present study. The first one is air fuel ratio which is changed from 31.7 to 38.7 by keeping the air flow rate and decreasing the fuel flow rate. As the air fuel ratio increases, the mixing is enhanced and temperature of a model combustor decreases. Then, the NO_X emission decreases. The second factor is the air slit area of the burner. Air slit area is reduced by changing the width of slit with 3 methods depending on the position, i.e., width decrease in the upper-side, the lower-side, and both sides. The velocity of air inflow increases as the air slit width decreases. Then, unmixedness inside the burner will be reduced, which results in reduction of NO_X emission. This strong correlation between unmixedness and NO_X emission verifies that NO_X reduction can be attained by mixing enhancement of fuel and air inside the burner. - COLLAPSE

Experimental and numerical studies were conducted to clarify the extinction mechanism in mutually interacting SNG (synthetic natural gas) - air premixed asymmetric counter-flow flames. The detailed kinetic mechanism of UC San Diego with which the priority of predicting measured extinction boundaries was validated was adopted to analyze various aspects via up and downstream interactions on extinction boundaries in the flame stability map. The flame stability map was presented with a functional dependency on methane mole fractions in the cold stream ejecting from upper and lower nozzles by varying the global strain rate. Increasing global strain rate lead gradually slanted and configuring of island flammable region and finally only one flammable condition at 740 s^-1 through the shrinkage of flammable region. The interacting lean-lean asymmetric flames of extinction boundaries have flame speed of positive (negative) depending on the deviation of methane mole fraction for two reactants. The extinction mechanism of those flames was explained and discussed by emphasizing important role of downstream chemical interaction (via H and CO) and upstream thermal interaction (via conductive heat loss from stronger flame to unburned mixture). - COLLAPSE

Effects of insulation thickness on flame spread over electrical copper wires with applied AC electric fields were experimentally investigated. The AC volrage and frequency varied in ranges of 0-5 kV and 10-1000 Hz, respectively. A one electrode configuration was used such that the electric potential was applied to one wire end and thus the infinite ambience could be a ground. The results showed that the flame shape and the tilting direction were significantly influnced by applied voltage and frequency. The flame spread rate decreased in an increase of insulation thickness as well as varied sensitively with applied votage and frequency. Additionally, the molten polyethylene (PE) experienced various dynamic behaviors such as dripping of molten PE, electrospray, di-electro-phoresis, and rotation of molten PE, essentially affecting the flame spread rate. These complicated phenomena were systematically analyzed and discussed. - COLLAPSE

The flame structure and combustion characteristics of co-firing coal and LPG with different sizes of biomass were investigated in a dual swirl pulverized coal burner by using a high-speed camera with bandpass filter and PIV system. Three sizes of spent mushroom compost (<45, 45~90, 90~150 µm) were cofired with pulverized coal (45~90 µm) at a blending ratio of 20%. When the biomass of the same size with coal was used, the turbulence intensity had the highest uniformity while other cases exhibited locally strong turbulent intensity. The combustion using <45 µm biomass was terminated early compared to other conditions, whereas the reaction region was the widest for 45~90 µm biomass. The flame had uniform turbulent intensity with wide and strong reaction when the biomass size was equal to that of coal. When using 45~90 µm of biomass, high velocity was maintained in the overall region and CH^* radical was observed in a wide region with the highest radical intensity. - COLLAPSE

This paper analyzes the effect of low temporal resolution on the accuracy of determining the local flame speed for experimental measurements and simulations. Flame speed measurement of moving flames requires the evaluation of a temporal derivative of flame front motion. Measurements have limited temporal resolution, which can lead to a bias error in the calculation of flame speed. The error associated with the temporal resolution was derived in the leading order effect on sampling time. In order to demonstrate the error term, we employed numerical examples. Artificial flame solutions are generated by solving the G-equation with prescribed flow fields and fine spatial/temporal resolutions. By varying the sampling time step, we demonstrated the error can lead to negative values of the measured flame speed. Furthermore, when coarse sampling time steps are used, the calculated flame speed also exhibits a spurious curvature dependency. Lastly, the associated error can be estimated by spatial gradients of the flame front for convection dominated flows. - COLLAPSE

This study investigated the effect of the outer recirculation zone(ORZ) on the combustion characteristics and NO_X emissions. Numerical simulation and experimental test were conducted for the combustors with two types of the burner outlet. The ORZ is formed conspicuously for a flat type with sudden expansion outlet while it is formed in a negligible size for a curved type with gradual expansion outlet. In a higher adiabatic flame temperature(AFT) condition of 2020 K, the NO_X emission of the flat type is increased by 19% compared with the curved type as the ORZ has long residence time and high temperature enough to produce the thermal NO_X. On the other hand, the NO_X emission of the flat type is decreased slightly in a lower AFT of 1850 K as the temperature of the ORZ is not high enough to significantly produce the thermal NO_X. The tendency of the calculated NO_X emission is consistent with the experiment results. - COLLAPSE
