The numerical simulations on 500-N class rocket engine using 96% hydrogen peroxide and kerosene have been conducted, considering atomization, evaporation, mixing and combustion of its propellants. The grid containing 1/6 part of combustion chamber has been generated and it is assumed that 3 kinds of liquid-phase propellants (kerosene, hydrogen peroxide and water) were injected as hollow cone spray pattern, using Rosin-Rammler function for distribution of droplet diameter. For the calculation of combustion the eddy-dissipation model was applied. Owing to small size of combustion chamber and large specific heat / latent heat of hydrogen peroxide and water the propulsion characteristics were highly influenced by the size of droplet particles, and in this analysis the engine with droplet particles of 30 micron in average has shown the best propulsion performance.

The beneficial aspects of applying emulsion fuels to combustion systems may be due to the changes of fuel properties which lead to the enhanced atomization characteristics. The spray characteristics of water/oil emulsified fuel injected from the pressure-swirl(simplex) atomizer using for oil burner were investigated. Four different water contents from 10 to 40 % by volume at 10% increment were prepared by mixing with the different contents of surfactants. Total amount of surfactant used was varied from 1 to 3 % by volume. This study demonstrates the influence of water and surfactant contents of emulsified fuel, injection pressure on the spray characteristics, i.e. Sauter mean diameter(SMD) and spray angle. The drop size distribution of the emulsified fuel spray was measured with a Malvem particle sizer. In order to measure the spray angle, the digital image processing was employed by capturing multiple images of the spray with 3-CCD digital video camera. It was evident that the addition of water and surfactant changes fuel properties which are the key parameters influencing the atomization of the spray. The increase in surfactant content results in the decrease of SMD and the increase in spray angle. The droplets decease with increase in injection pressure, but the influence of injection pressure in this experimental condition was less important than expected. The more viscous fuel with the increase of water content exhibits the larger droplets in the centerline of the spray, and the less viscous fuel in the outer edges of the spray. The increase in axial position from the nozzle causes the spray angle to decrease. The spray angle decreases with increase in water content. This is due to increase in viscosity with increase in water content.

The present study investigates the spray characteristics of water mist nozzle with mid-low pressure for fire suppression. The examined nozzle types are swirl and spiral nozzle. The result shows that K factor of water mist nozzle is much smaller than those of general sprinkler. Spray angle of spiral nozzle is largest and more than $150^{\circ}$. SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) of water mist nozzles is ranged between 100 and 200$\mu\textrm{m}$through measuring by image processing method. The spray pattern of spiral nozzle represent that water flux of first stream is 2 times larger than that of second stream. This study will contribute better understandings of the water-mist spray characteristics and useful daia for developing the water-mist nozzles.

The present study was numerically and experimentally performed to investigate the fire suppression performance of water mist spray subjected to thermal radiation in closed space. Downward-directed water mist sprays to interact with an under kerosine pool fire were investigated in test facility. The mass mean diameters of water mist droplet were measured by PMAS under various flow conditions. The developed water mist spray nozzle was satisfied to the criteria of NFPA 750, Class 1. The mechanism of the fire suppression by water mist was concluded to be cooling of the fire surface which lead to suppressed of fuel evaporation. It was proved that the water mist spray system under lower pressures could be applied to underground fire protection system.

This paper describes the effect of the droplet breakup process on fire suppression using a water-mist system, which is considered as a alternative to sprinkler fire suppression system. In the evolution of the water-mist, the droplet breakup process is an important phenomenon because it may significantly affect the droplet evaporation rate. The Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS, Ver. 4.0) code, which is widely used for the simulation of fire dynamics, is used for the present simulation, and it is modified to consider the droplet breakup phenomena. The Prediction by the modified code shows good agreement with experimental data for the temperature. The original FDS predicts higher temperature about $30^{\circ}C$ than experimental data. From the results, it is concluded that the droplet breakup phenomena must be considered for more precise simulation of fire suppression process.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of water injection on combustion characteristics of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine with turbo-charger under low-load operating condition. The test engine used in this study has four-cylinder and 10.2 of compression ratio. In order to study the effect of water injection ratio on combustion characteristics, the water was injected into the intake port from 10% to 50%, based on fuel injection quantity. From the experiment, it revealed that the water injection induced the improvement of fuel economy because of the advance of spark-timing by the reduction of in-cylinder temperature. In addition, the water injection caused the prolong of extension of the ignition delay and slight increase of burn duration.

SNCR 기술은 SCR에 비해 탈질 효율은 떨어지지만 촉매없이 고온 배출가스에 NH3 또는 요소수를 직접 분사하여 질소와 물로 환원시키는 방법이므로 초기 투자비 및 운영비가 적어 최근 국내 대다수의 소각장, 산업용 보일러 등에 널리 적용되고 있다. 단, SNCR 기술은 급격한 온도 강하나 접근의 불용이성, 불균일한 혼합, 액적의 증발시간 지연, 불균일한 운전 조건 등의 영향을 크게 받으며, 특히 반응 온도가 가장 중요한 변수로서 최적 반응 온도 영역대가 약 800~$1,000^{\circ}C$라는 점에서 이상적인 반응 온도 조건을 찾아서 환원제를 분무하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 열유동 전산해석을 통해 스토커식 소각로의 폐기물 성상별 화염 온도 분포를 예측하고 적정 반응 온도 영역을 확인하여 요소수 주입 고도를 선정, 폐기물 성상별 분무 조건을 확립하고자 수치 해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 폐기물 성상(고질/중질/저질 폐기물)별로 화염 온도를 예측한 결과, 최적 반응 온도 영역대가 약 800~$1,000^{\circ}C$, 폐기물 성상의 심한 변화 때문에 소각로의 효율적인 연소 조건 제어에 어려움 등을 고려하여 약 700~$1,000^{\circ}C$ 온도 영역대를 환원제 분무 온도로 선정하였다. 폐기물별로 발열량에 따른 화염 온도가 모두 다르기 때문에 환원제 분무 위치를 3지점으로 선정하여 각 지점별로 분무 운전 조건을 확립하였다.

An experimental study was performed to understand spray characteristics of the slinger injector. system for the micro turbojet engine. In this fuel injection system, fuel is sprayed and atomized in the combustor by centrifugal forces of engine shaft. This experimental apparatus consist of a high speed rotating Spindle, slinger injector, pressure tank and acrylic case. The droplet size and velocity were measured by PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) and spray was visualized by using Nd-Yag laser-based flash photography. From the test results, the droplet size(SMD) is largely affected to rotational speed, mass flow rate and the number of injection orifice. From the this experimental study, we could understand the spray characteristics of the slinger injection system and obtain the optimum shape of the slinger injector nozzle which is suitable for the micro turbojet engine.

The effect of two-fluid fogging system on the control of Bemisia tabaci in tomato cultivation was evaluated in a greenhouse. The number of Bemisia tabaci was decreased by 87% from the fog treatment for 7 days. During the fog treatment, the mean daily temperature was decreased by $2^{\circ}C$ and the mean daily relative humidity was increased by 3~4% as compared to the non-treatment. The reduction of Bemisia tabaci in the treatment might not be resulted from the differences in temperature and humidity in the greenhouse. The sound coming from the two-fluid fogging system did not affect when it was operated without water inside. Therefore it was concluded that water droplets coming out the nozzle reduced the growth and the movement of whiteflies because the suspension of tiny water droplets were attached on the skin of whiteflies.
