A piezo-driven injector was applied with a purpose to evaluate the effect of induced voltage on spray characteristics. For this, injection rate, macroscopic imaging, ambient gas entrainment and particle sizing were carried out. It was shown that initial slope of injection rate was steeper as induced voltage increased, while slope of injection rate became mostly constant with fully opened needle. From macroscopoic imaging, longer spray tip penetration was produced with higher induced voltage. Moreover, wider spray angle was detected in the early stage of spray development, when higher induced voltage was applied. Ambient air entrainment rate was increased and particle size was reduced with higher induced voltage.

The capability of high pressure injection with small fuel quantify at all engine operating conditions is one of the main feature in common rail fuel injection system, which is used in small and light-duty Diesel engine. The key parameter for the better atomized fuel sprays and multiple injections of this common rail fuel injection control, that can be freely selected irrespective of the engine speed and load is the mechanism controlling the needle energizing and movement in high pressure Diesel injector. In the electro-hydraulic injector, the injection nozzle is being opened and closed by movement of the injector's needle which is balanced by pressure between the nozzle seat and the needle control chamber. This study describes the macroscopic spray structure characteristics of the common rail Diesel injectors with different electric driving method i.e. the solenoid-driven and piezo-driven type. The macroscopic spray characteristics such as spray tip speed. spray tip penetration and spray cone angle were investigated by the high speed spray, which is measured by the back diffusion light illumination method with optical system for the high speed temporal photography in a constant volume chamber pressurized by nitrogen gas. As the results, the prototype piezo-driven injector system was designed and fabricated for the first time in domestic case and the effect of injector's needle response driven by different drive type was compared between the solenoid and piezo-driven injector It was found therefore. that the piezo-driven injector showed faster needle response and had better needle control capability by altering the electric input value than the solenoid-driven injector.

Dimethyl ether (DM) is one of the most attractive alternative fuel far 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 intrinsic properties of DME. Experimental study of DME and conventional diesel spray employing a common-rail type fuel injection system with a 5-holes sac type injector (hole diameter 0.168 ㎜/hole) was performed in a high pressure chamber pressurized with nitrogen gas. A CCD camera was employed to capture time series of spray images followed by spray cone angles and penetrations of DME were characterized and compared with those of diesel. Under atmospheric pressure condition, regardless of injection pressure, spray cone angles of the DME were wider than those of diesel and penetrations were shorter due to flash boiling effect. Tip of the DME spray was farmed in mushroom like shape at atmospheric chamber pressure but it was disappeared in higher chamber pressure. On the contrary, spray characteristics of the DME became similar to that of diesel under 3MPa of chamber pressure. Hole-to-hole variation of the DME spray was lower than that of diesel in both atmospheric and 3MPa chamber pressures. At 25MPa and 40MPa of DME injection pressures, regardless of chamber pressure, intermittent DME spray was observed. It was thought that vapor lock inside the injector was generated under the two injection pressures.

로켓엔진에서 발생하는 음향 불안정성의 정성적 경향성을 파악하기 위해 축대칭 연소실에서의 음향파 응답 특성을 수치해석적으로 조사하였다. 주로 작동조건의 변화와 외부교란의 가진 주파수 변화에 따른 응답 특성을 계산하였다. 외부교란으로 연소실 입구부분의 전압이 정현파 형태로 섭동하도록 인위적으로 부여하였다. 음향 응답의 정성적 경향성이 유지되는 범위내에서, 분무 연소과정에 수반되는 여러 가지 물리 화학적인 과정들을 단순화하였다. 먼저, 주어진 작동조건에서 정상상태의 연소장을 구하고, 다음 단계로 압력섭동에 대한 연소장의 거동을 시간의 경과에 따라 구하였다. 작동조건의 변화에 따른 음향파 응답의 계산 결과, 반응 지역에서 약한 강도의 화염이 형성되는 경우 민감한 응답이 나타나 불안정안 압력분포를 나타냈다. 또한, 가진되는 압력 섭동의 주파수에 따라 응답 특성이 변하였고, 특히 높은 가진 주파수의 압력 섭동에 대해서 불안정한 응답이 나타났다. 해석 결과로 나타난 거시적 현상의 이해를 돕기위해, 기존의 화염소 모델을 채택한 음향파 응답 연구 결과와의 상관성을 찾아 본 해석 결과를 분석하였다.
