The purpose of this study is to compare and to investigate spray characteristics of dimethyl ether (DME) and diesel fuel in the various injection pressures, ambient pressures, and the energizing durations. For the analysis of the spray characteristics, the spray visualization system including the high speed camera and the spray image analyzer is installed. The spray characteristics such as the spray development process, spray tip penetraion and the spray cone angle are analyzed from the spray images. It was revealed that the spray characteristics of DME and diesel fuels are mainly affected by the injection conditions. However, in the region after the end of the injection, the spray tip penetration was affected by the fuel properties such as the fuel density, the surface tension, and the viscosity. DME fuel has generally a short tip penetration and a wide cone angle. In the elevating conditions of the ambient gas pressure, the spray cone angle of DME fuel converged to high value when comparing diesel fuel in advance. Also, the increasing rate of the spray tip penetration in DME fuel is significantly decreased from 0.7 ms of the energizing duration (diesel : 0.9 ms).

This study focused on comparing macroscopic characteristics of DME and diesel fuel experimentally. DME fuel is one of the most promising alternative fuels because of its superiority in atomization characteristic and clearness in terms of exhaust gas compared with existing fossil fuels. In addition, DME fuel has high cetane number so it could be applied to compression ignition engine. However because DME fuel exists in gas phase at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and it corrodes rubber parts of fuel line, DME fuel is hard to apply to commercial vehicles. To establish knowledge about DME fuel and furthermore, to develop commercial DME vehicles such as passenger cars, many research have been proceeded steadily. The present study, by comparing spray characteristics of DME fuel to those of diesel fuel, improved atomization characteristics in DME were revealed. Injection quantity measurement and spray visualization experiment were progressed and it was revealed that DME fuel shows small injection quantity than that of diesel fuel and axial development of spray in terms of spray tip penetration decreases when DME fuel was injected.

The study is to investigate the mixing stability, fuel properties, and macroscopic spray characteristics of diesel-gasoline blended fuels in a common-rail injection system of a diesel engine. The test fuels were mixed diesel with gasoline fuel, which were based volume fraction of gasoline from 0 to 100% in 20% intervals. In order to analyze the blended effect of gasoline to diesel fuel, the properties of test fuels such as density, viscosity, and surface tension were measured. In addition, the spray behavior characteristics were studied by investigating the spray tip penetration and spray angle using a spray images through a spray visualization system. It was revealed that the density, kinematic viscosity and surface tension of diesel-gasoline blending fuels were decreased with the increase of gasoline fuel. The injection quantity of test fuels were almost similar level at short energizing duration condition. On the other hand, the increase of energizing duration shows the decrease of injection quantity compared to short energizing duration. The test blending fuels have similar growth in Spray tip penetration and Spray cone angle.

아음속 영역의 대류에 평행하게 압력형 스월 제트를 분사시켜 액막 분열 및 액적 크기와 분포를 실험적으로 측정하였다. 대류로 인한 거시적과 미시적인 분무 특성의 영향을 제트 $We_{\iota}$수와 기상에 대한 액상의 운동량 비를 사용하여 광학적인 방법으로 측정하였다. 낮은 제트 $We_{\iota}$수일 때는 제트의 원심력 부족으로 인해 액막을 형성하지 못하고 Rayleigh 제트 분열을 하게 된다. 높은 $We_{\iota}$수에서는 거시적인 분무 특성은 대류의 영향을 거의 받지 않지만 미시적인 분무 특성은 운동량 비가 높을수록 2차 미립화 과정을 통해 대류의 영향을 많이 받았다. 대류는 제트의 분열을 촉진시키고 스월 제트의 분무 특성을 향상하는 것으로 관찰되었다.

The implementation of gelled propellants systems offers high performance, energy management of liquid propulsion, storability, and high density impulse of solid propulsion. The present study focused on the macroscopic spray characteristics of liquid sheets formed by triplet impinging jets of non-Newtonian liquids which are mixed by Carbopol 941 0.5%wt. The results are compared to experiments conducted on spray images which formed by triplet impinging jets concerning with airassist effect at center orifice. When gel propellants are injected by doublet impinging jets at low pressure and high pressure, closed rim pattern shape appeared by polymeric effect from molecular force and showed inactive atomization characteristics, because of extensional viscosity related by restriction of atomization process and breakup time delay of turbulence transition. As increasing mass flow rate of the air(increasing GAR), spray breakup level is also increased.

Dimethyl Ether(DME) has been considered as one of the most attractive alternative fuels for compression ignition engine. Its main advantage in diesel engine application is high efficiency of diesel cycle with soot free combustion though conventional fuel injection system has to be modified due to the physical properties of DME. Experimental study of DME and conventional diesel spray employing a common-rail type fuel injection system with a 5-hole sac type injector was performed in a constant volume vessel pressurized by nitrogen gas. Spray cone angles and penetrations of the DME spray were characterized and compared with those of diesel. For evaluation of the evaporating characteristics of the DME, shadowgraphy technique employing an Ar-ion laser and an ICCD camera was adopted. Tip of the DME spray was formed in mushroom-like shape at atmospheric chamber pressure, which disappeared in higher chamber pressure. Spray tip penetration and spray cone angle of the DME became similar to those of diesel under 3MPa of chamber pressure. Higher injection pressure provided wider vapor phase area while it decreased with higher chamber pressure condition.

Characteristics of two favorite injection tools for gasoline direct injection application were compared. An air-assisted fuel injector (AAFI) and a high-pressure swirl injector (HPSI) were designed and fabricated for prototype development, and the characterization strategies and processes for both injection tool have been arranged in parallel. Characterization works were carried out mainly through measurements, and in some cases, computational fluid dynamic analysis was utilized. In this paper, overall characteristics defined as flow rate, spray pattern, penetration, internal spray structure and drop size distribution, was discussed. The AAFI was found to be advantageous in flexibility of fuel flow rate, and the HPSI in stability and precision. Spray shape factor was introduced to describe the development of intermittent sprays from both injectors. Axial penetration appeared to be almost linear in the case of the AAFI while its speed continuously decreased with time in the HPSI.

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.

동축형 다공성재 분사기에서는 중심 액체제트 주위를 둘러싼 원통형 다공성재의 내부 표면에서 반경방향으로 분사된 기체가 중심액체제트와 상호작용을 하게 된다. 표면분사된 기체제트는 반경방향에서 축방향으로 발달하며, 그 과정에서 액체분무의 중심부까지 운동량을 효과적으로 전달하여 미립화 및 혼합 성능을 향상시킨다. 본 연구에서는 기체분사 면적 및 기체분사 질량유량을 변화시켜 각각 운동량 비 및 웨버수의 크기를 조절하였으며, 이에 따른 물-공기 모사추진제 수류시험에서의 분무특성에 대한 고찰을 수행하고 동일 스케일의 전단 동축형 분사기와의 비교 분석이 이루어졌으며, 동축형 다공성재 분사기에서 반경방향으로의 기체분사가 2상유체의 미립화/혼합에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다.

디젤엔진은 바이오연료 적용을 위한 엔진으로서 가솔린엔진과 비교해 사용연료가 바이오연료와 유사한 높은 세탄가를 가지며, 가솔린엔진과 달리 점화계통 장치의 불필요 등 기존 엔진의 개조비용 등에서 유리한 장점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 상용 디젤 엔진의 커먼레일 분사시스템을 사용하여 바이오연료인 식물성 팜유의 분무거동특성을 해석하고, 그 결과를 기존의 디젤엔진 연료인 경유와 비교 분석하였다. 실험변수로서는 분사압력과 경유에 대한 바이오디젤 연료의 혼합비율(BD3, BD5, BD20, BD30, BD50, BD100)을 달리하였다. 분사압력은 500bar, 1000bar, 1500bar 및 1600bar로 설정하고 분사기간은 $500{\mu}s$로 동일하게 하였다. 본 연구의 결과로서, 분사압력이 동일한 경우 사용한 바이오디젤 연료의 혼합비 변화에 대한 거시적 분무거동특성(분무선단도달거리 및 분무각)의 변화는 뚜렷하지 않았다. 특히 분무각의 경우 본 연구의 모든 실험조건에 있어서 약 $15^{\circ}$의 값을 나타내었다.
