An experimental study was performed to understand spray characteristics of the V type rotating fuel nozzle with orifice diameters by using high speed rotational system. The experimental apparatus consist of a high speed rotational system, fuel injection system 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, droplet size is reduced with increasing orifice diameter up to the critical value. When increasing orifice diameter over than this critical value, droplet size is not decreased with increasing the orifice diameter. This is due to the irregular distribution of the liquid sheet around the inner surface of injection orifice.

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, droplet diameters are reduced with increasing orifice diameter and the optimum injection orifice diameter is 2.6 mm. When increasing orifice diameter over than 2.6 mm, droplet diameter is not decreased with increasing orifice diameter. This is due to the irregular distribution of the liquid sheet around the inner surface of injection orifice.

Effects of cavitation and hydraulic flip in circular and elliptical nozzles on the flow characteristics have been studied. Spray tests were conducted using injectors with different ratios of an orifice length(L) to a diameter(d) and of a major axis diameter(a) to a minor axis diameter(b). With the increment of an injection pressure drop, discharge coefficients slightly decreased in cavitation flows, and those suddenly dropped and were almost constant in hydraulic flip flows. For elliptical nozzles with L/b > 8 and L/a < 8, discharge coefficients and flow patterns showed different results from those in previous circular nozzles. When a flow in the elliptical nozzle was under steady condition, as the liquid column went downstream from the nozzle, its spray angle a little decreased in the plane of a major axis and increased in the plane of a minor axis.

항공기용 가스터빈 및 일반적인 산업용 분무시스템에서는 많은 양의 분사액체를 미립화 시키고 시스템의 연속적인 운전과 유지를 편리하게 하기 위하여 여러 개의 분사노즐을 열로 설치하여 동시에 분사하도록 하고 있다. 이렇게 동시에 분사할 경우, 노즐간에 거리가 충분히 크지 않으면 개별적으로 분사된 분무들이 서로 합해져서 하나의 연합된 분무군이 형성된다. 이렇게 Two element에 의해서 형성된 spray는 공급압력이 증가함에 따라 관성력이 증가하게 되어 중심부분에서 액막 혹은 액적상태로서 충돌이 발생하여 복잡한 분무특성을 가질 것이다. 따라서, 연합된 분무군의 특성을 이해하는 것은 응용의 측면에서 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다.

This paper investigates the spray angle and the outline shape of the liquid sheet discharged from a simplex swirl nozzle. A theoretical model was proposed and the corresponding experimental data were presented for comparison. Axial and tangential velocities and thickness of the liquid sheet at the nozzle exit were also predicted. The liquid sheet thickness at nozzle exit, as well as the discharge coefficient, turned out to be a sole function of the swirl Reynolds number. However, the axial and tangential velocities at nozzle exit and the spray angle could not be expressed only with the swirl Reynolds number. The predicted outline shape and spray angle of the liquid sheet agreed reasonably with the measured data.

A simplified one-dimensional analysis has been performed to predict the local pressure distributions in Y-Jet twin-fluid atomizers. Fluid compressibility was considered both in the gas(air) and two-phase(mixing) ports. The annular-mist flow model was adopted to analyze the flow in the mixing port. A series of experiments also has been performed; the results show that the air flow rate increases and the liquid flow rate decreases with the increase of the air injection pressure and/or with the decrease of the liquid injection pressure. From the measured injection pressures and flow rates, the appropriate constants for the correlations of the pressure loss coefficients and the rate of drop entrainment were decided. The local pressures inside the nozzle by prediction reasonably agree with those by the experiments.

An experimental study was conducted to observe the spray characteristics for different flow rates and rotating speeds of a rotating fuel nozzle of a slinger combustor. The water spray ejected from the nozzle orifice was visualized using a high-speed camera and a light source. It was confirmed that the atomization was improved, as the flow rate decreased and rotating speed increased. The characteristic maps for the spray characteristics and performance parameters showed that the aerodynamic Weber number and the liquid-air momentum flux ratio were associated with the liquid primary breakup, and the liquid-air momentum flux ratio and Rossby number were closely correlated with the liquid ejection mode.

로켓엔진의 연소실에서는 고온의 연소가스로부터 다량의 열이 발생하기 때문에 이로부터 연소실을 보호하기 위한 방법이 필수적으로 요구된다. 한국 최초의 액체 로켓인 KSR-III 로켓의 주엔진인 KL-3 엔진에서는, 연소실을 보호하기 위한 방법으로 실리카/페놀(Silica/Phenolic) 내열재를 이용하는 용융냉각 방식을 채택하였다 용융냉각 방식은 내열재와 고온의 연소가스와의 물리ㆍ화학적 상호작용에 의해 삭마가 발생하게 되는데, 이러한 삭마는 연소실에서도 가장 고온부인 노즐목에 집중적으로 발생하는 경향이 있다. 그러나 노즐목에서 삭마의 진행은 노즐목의 크기를 증가시키고 연소압 및 추력을 감소시키는 부작용을 초래하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 열적 삭마에 의한 노즐목 크기의 증가량을 알아내기 위해 KL-3 엔진 노즐목의 형상을 측정하고자 시도하였으며, 노즐목의 삭마에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자를 확인하고 진행과정을 고찰하였다. 노즐목의 형상 측정을 위해서는 기존에 사용하던 3차원 변위 측정기를 이용한 방식의 접근이 곤란함에 따라 영상처리 기법을 도입한 측정 방식을 고안하여 사용하였으며, 이 장비는 만족스런 성능을 보여주었다. 시험결과를 통해서 삭마에 영향을 주는 주요 인자로 분무형태, 연소시간, 연소 온도를 제시하였고 이 중에서 분무형태는 삭마 형상에, 연소 시간 및 연소온도는 삭마량에 주로 영향을 끼친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 시간에 따른 삭마의 진행이 3개의 구간으로 나누어 설명할 수 있음을 밝혔는데, 노즐목이 원형을 그대로 유지하며 삭마진행이 미미한 구간, 원형에서 벗어나 요철형상이 발달하면서 삭마진행이 가속되는 구간, 요철형상이 이미 정착되어서 요철의 깊이만 증가하되 삭마량은 미미한 구간이다. 결과적으로 60초 연소 후 노즐목 면적 증가율은 +5.82% 정도이며, 이에 따른 연소압 및 추력의 감소 또한 1% 미만으로 미비하였다. 따라서 본 KL-3 엔진에 사용된 내열재의 내열 성능은 임무를 수행하기에 적절하다고 판단하였다.

Spray characteristics for the simplex atomizer are investigated. The atomizer was tested with kerosene which is generally used as a fuel for gas turbine engines. But it is very difficult and dangerous to measure spray performance. So water is used as a working fluid for measuring the droplet information. In this study, spray visualization was performed by using ND-Yag Laser and droplet size was measured by using PDPA system by using two different working fluid such as water and test fluid # 2 which has similar characteristics of the kerosene. The test results show that SMD of water bigger than test fluid # 2 about 5$\sim$15 mm because surface tension of water is higher by a factor of 3. But the spray angles and the spray shapes have similarity

This paper presents a novel mechanism of electro-spray micro-thruster featured by a nozzle with a conductive pole inside, referred to here as a pole type nozzle. And the effects of the pole type nozzle on the efficiency of the jetting are numerically and experimentally investigated. The electric voltage signal applied to the upper electrode plate, against the pole as the ground, allows a ejection of spray to take place. It is verified experimentally that the use of the pole type nozzle allows a stable and sustainable jetting mode of ejection for a wider range of applied voltages because it can concentrate the electric field more on the centre of the meniscus. According to results about size effect, experiments indicates that the proposed mechanism allows that operation of micro thruster at less than 500 volts through nanoscale nozzle.
