Abstract
The characteristics of liquefied butane spray are expected to be different from conventional diesel fuel spray, because a flash boiling spray is expected when the surround pressure is below the saturated vapor pressure of the butane(0.23MPa 98K). The axial velocities. radial velocities. and size distributions in butane sprays were measured with PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) system. Sprays were macroscopically observed by using the high speed camera in case that the surround pressure is 0.37MPa and 0.15MPa. respectively. Compared with the conventional spray. the reversed results were investigated when the surround pressure is below the saturated vapor pressure of the butane.
