Abstract
As a preliminary study on the spray behavior characteristics of emulsified fuel, the fuel properties (viscosity, surface tension, and density) and evaporation characteristics of a fuel droplet were investigated. The emulsified fuel was made by mixing diesel and $H_2O_2$. In addition, the macroscopic spray behavior characteristics such as the spray penetrations and spray angles of the emulsified and diesel fuels were compared. The stirring condition of the emulsified fuel was a 9:1 mixture of the diesel fuel and the surfactant span 80. The mixing ratios for the hydrogen peroxide were set at EF2, EF12, EF22, EF32, EF42, EF52, EF62, EF72, EF82, and EF92. The injection pressures were set at 400, 600, 800, and 1000 bar. We found that as the mixing ratio of the hydrogen peroxide was increased from EF2 to EF52, the viscosity of the emulsified fuel increased. However, afterward, the viscosity of the emulsified fuel gradually decreased and approached the viscosity value of the diesel fuel. Therefore, generally oil-in-water emulsions were used for the hydrogen peroxide mixing ratios up to 52 (EF52), and water-in-oil emulsions were used for the hydrogen peroxide mixing ratios above 52. Finally, the spray behavior characteristics (spray penetration and spray angle) of the emulsified fuel were found to be almost independent of the mixing ratio.
본 연구는 에멀젼연료($diesel/H_2O_2$)의 분무거동특성에 관한 기초 연구로서 에멀젼연료를 제조하여 분무 거동특성에 영향을 주는 연료의 물성치(점도, 표면장력, 밀도)와 연료액적 증발특성을 조사하였다. 또한 에멀젼연료와 디젤연료의 거시적 분무거동특성인 분무선단도달거리, 분무각을 비교 분석하였다. 에멀젼연료의 교반 조건은 디젤 연료와 계면활성제 span 80, tween 80을 각각 9:1로 혼합한 유화제를 제작하여 사용 하였으며 과산화수소의 혼합비율은[EF(Emulsified Fuel)2, EF12, EF22, EF32, EF42, EF52, EF62, EF72, EF82, EF92]로 설정하였고, 분사압력은 400bar, 600bar, 800bar 및 1000bar로 설정하였다. 본 연구의 결과로서 연료의 점도는 과산화수소의 혼합비율이 증가할수록(EF52까지) 점도가 증가하나, 그 이후부터는 점도가 낮아져 기존의 디젤연료와 같은 점도를 가지게 된다. 이는 디젤의 혼합비율이 큰 EF52까지는 교반 시 수중유형(Water in Oil)이 생성되나 과산화수소의 혼합비율이 큰(EF52 이상) 에멀젼연료에서는 유중수형(Oil in Water)이 생성되기 때문이다. 또한 혼합비 변화에 따른 분무거동의 특성(분무선단도달거리, 분무각)의 변화는 크지 않았다.
