This paper describes the effect of air assisted fuel injection system(AAI) using compressed air to improve the performance of lean combustion engine. AAI is designed to promote fuel atomization and intake flow. In order to investigate the performance of engine with AAl, experiments are conducted varying the engine revolution speed, lean air-fuel ratio and intake manifold pressure. Compared with the original engine, the performance of the engine with MI is improved as the air-fuel mixture becomes leaner or the engine load becomes lower. The descreasing rate of BSFC is propotional to the relative air-fuel ratio and the lean misfire limit extended more than 0.2 relative airfuel ratio.

The fuel injection type, in the gasoline engines of atomization of fuel droplet and its distribution hae influenced directly on the decision of engine performance and harmful emission. In this paper, atomization characteristics of fuel spray is investigated with microscopic visualization system. Particle motion analysis system is used to measure the SMD from fuel spray of air-assisted injector by initial factors such as temperature of ambient air and air-assisted pressure. As air-assist pressure and ambientair temperature increase, the SMD is decreased, and its variation is more stable.

Drop size distribution of an air-assisted fuel injector(AAFI) was investigated. Influence of parameters such as ambient air density supply pressure and air-liquid mass ratio(ALR) was examined through both measurement and analysis. The Sauter mean diameter$D_{32}$ varied from 9 to 25$\mu$m throughout all experimental conditions. An empirical correlation for droplet size was obtained. Analytical correlations for predicting $D_{32}$ with respect to operating conditions were also derived through energy consideration and introduction of a simplified model of the from the empirical fitting was adapted to the original equation the proposed correlation in this study matched more closely with measured results. The current correlation exhibited a favorable study matched more closely with measured results. The current correlation exhibited a favorable prediction for $D_{32}$ compared to that by the empirical correlation at selected experimental conditions so that it may be used to predict atomization performance of the AAFI at operating conditions which was not covered in the measurements. After validation the analytical equation was applied to survey the feasible operating conditions for gasoline direct injection application.

In the gasoline engine of fuel injection type, atomization of fuel droplet and its distribution has directly influenced the performance of engine and harmful emission. To investigate atomization characteristics of fuel spray, in this paper fuel spray of air-assisted injector is observed at the various initial conditions of ambient air temperature and air assisted pressure. Behavior of fuel spray is photographed with microscopic visualization system. The SMD of fuel droplet is measured with PMAS (Particle Motion Analysis System). The effect of air-assisted pressure and temperature of ambient air resulted in the decrement of SMD and its variation. Finally, It was found that It was found that from spray angle at the two-hole injector had measured $20{\pm}4$ degree the result of photographs by shadow graphy. The mean diameter of suns decreased and the of droplets increased with increasing the temperature in the spray fields by the results of PMAS measurement. It was found that the characteristics of sprays became finer by increasing the temperature of spray fields about 373K without the delivery of air-assistance.

분무식 노즐(spray nozzle)은 액체의 표면을 증가시키기 위해 에너지를 공급하여 액체를 다수의 액적으로 미립화시키는 장치로 연소과정에서의 연료의 미립화 또는 표면이나 입자의 코팅 등 여러 산업분야에 다양한 목적으로 응용된다. 초음파 미립화 노즐은 진동 발생장치로부터 고진동수의 전기에너지를 받아 같은 진동수의 기계적 에너지로 변환시키는 변환기를 갖고 있다. 변환된 에너지를 액체에 부가하여 고주파 진동에 의해 미세한 액적을 생성하여 분사한다. 코팅작업에서 가압되지 않은 저속의 분무는 액적이 튕겨나가지 않고 표면에 달라붙어 과도하게 분사되는 양을 줄일 수 있다. 초음파 미립화 노즐은 초음파 진동부 외벽에 공기를 공급해 줄 수 있는 공간을 통해 생성된 보조 공기흐름을 이용하여 저속의 액적을 운반하여 분무특성이나 분무형상을 조절할 수 있다. 따라서 주위 공기의 흐름을 이용하여 원하는 분무특성을 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 액적의 분사 운동을 모사하기 위해 라그랑지안 분산상 모델(DPM)을 적용한 상용코드 FLUENT를 사용하여 액적 주위의 공기흐름을 동반하는 초음파 미립화 노즐을 해석하였다. 노즐 수축부 형상, 액적의 크기 그리고 공기 측 압력차의 크기를 변화시키며 수치해석을 수행하여 코팅용 분무를 위한 최적 조건을 연구하였다.
