In this study, the behavior of the droplet colliding with parallel wires was analyzed by time-delay photography. The impact behavior modes and the critical capture speed were analyzed by changing fluids, the droplet velocity, the wire diameter and the distance between wires. Seven typical modes of impacting droplet on parallel wires were observed. The tendency of mode change was generally similar when the wire diameter was changed, but the increase of the wire diameter caused the increase of the droplet velocity at which the mode changed. The modes at the highest droplet velocity were the splitting mode when the wires were closest, the passing and splitting mode in the middle, and the passing mode when the wires were farthest apart. The critical capture speed increased as the wire diameter increased and the distance between wires decreased. The ethanol droplet showed the lowest critical capture speed.

Droplet evaporation has been known as a common phenomenon in daily life, and it has been widely used for many applications. In particular, the influence of the different heated substrates on evaporation flux and flow characteristics is essential in understanding heat and mass transfer of evaporating droplets. This study aims to simulate the droplet evaporation process by considering variation of thermal property depending on the substrates and the surface temperature. The commercial program of ANSYS Fluent (V.17.2) is used for simulating the conjugated heat transfer in the solid-liquid-vapor domains. Moreover, we adopt the diffusion-limited model to predict the evaporation flux on the different heated substrates. It is found that the evaporation rate significantly changes with the increase in substrate temperature. The evaporation rate substantially varies with different substrates because of variation of thermal property. Also, the droplet evaporates more rapidly as the surface temperature increases owing to an increase in saturation vapor pressure as well as the free convection effect caused by the density gradient.

In this study, the behavior of water droplet impacting on a thin horizontal orifice was investigated. The impact behavior modes, transition velocities and diameters of daughter droplets were analyzed by changing the droplet velocity, orifice diameter and orifice thickness. Four typical modes of impacting droplet on an orifice were observed. The single-droplet and double-droplet transition velocities increased with increasing the orifice thickness and decreased with increasing the orifice diameter. On the other hand, the multi-droplet transition velocity decreased and then increased as the orifice diameter increased. At thin orifice thickness, the single droplet diameter approximated the orifice diameter, and increasing the orifice thickness produced a droplet larger than the orifice diameter. In the case of double droplet mode, the diameter of the first droplet showed a similar tendency like the single droplet mode, but the diameter of the second droplet was smaller than that of the first droplet, and the difference between them was affected more by the orifice thickness.

In the present study, spray cooling heat transfer was experimentally investigated for the case in which water is sprayed onto the surfaces of micro-fins in forced convection and nucleate boiling regions. The experimental results show that an increase in the droplet flow rate improves heat transfer due to forced convection and nucleate boiling in the both case of smooth surface and surfaces of micro-fins. However, the effect of subcooling for fixed droplet flow rate is very weak. Micro-fins surfaces enhance the spray cooling heat transfer significantly. In the dilute spray region, the micro-fin structure has a significant effect on the spray cooling heat transfer. However, this effect is weak in the dense spray region. A previously determined correlation between the Nusselt number and Reynolds number shows good agreement with the present experimental data for a smooth surface.

In this report, the heat transfer model of spray cooling on hot surface was developed by focusing on the effect of rebound motion of droplets. In the model, it was assumed that droplets rebound repeatedly on the hot surface and heat transfer upon droplet impact is proportional to sensible heat which heats up the droplets to the saturation temperature. In addition, to take account of the contribution of th heat flux upon impact of rebound droplets, it was assumed that the rebound droplets are distributed following the Gaussian distribution from 0 to L, which distance L is determined by maximum flight distance $L_{max}$. Also the calculated results were compared with existing experimental results.

Fuel spray in a gasoline engine is a significant factor for the decision of engine power, pollutant emission and the design of intake manifold system. Three kinds of fuel which has other physical properties are chosen in this study, and it is observed using an image processing method that the mechanism and structure of free fuel spray with a throttle type gasoline injector, and the detailed characteristics of droplet size and velocity distributions are obtained by macro and micro-scopic measuring method respectively. It is verified that the initial breakup behaviors are depended on We like the result of Reitz's study, and also observed that the spray of octane and solvent with Re of 210~330 and 270~330 respectively are better than ethanol which has relatively high density and viscosity.

The Holographic Particle Velocimetry system can be a promising optical tool for the measurements of three dimensional particle velocities. In this study, the holographic panicle velocimetry system was used to measure the sizes and velocities of droplets formed by a commercial full cone spray nozzle. Uncertainty analysis was performed to identify the sources of all relevant errors and to evaluate their magnitude. The droplet velocities ranged from 10.3 to 13.3 m/s with average uncertainty of ${\pm}1.6m/s$, which is ${\pm}14%$ of the mean droplet velocity. Compared with relatively small uncertainties of velocity components in the normal direction to the optical axis, the uncertainty of the optical axis component is ${\pm}3.6m/s$. This is due to the long depth of field of droplet images in the optical axis, which is inherent feature of holographic system using forward-scattering object wave of particles.

Digital holographic particle velocity measurement system can be a promising optical tool for the measurements of three dimensional particle velocities. In this research, validation experiments for the digital holographic particle velocity measurement system were conducted with measuring the velocities of glass beads on a rotating disk. Uncertainty analysis was performed to identify the sources of all relevant errors and to evaluate their magnitudes. The measurement results of particle velocities obtained with digital holographic method are compared reasonably well with the known values within acceptable range of errors. Moreover, digital holographic method showed better performance compared with that of optical holographic system.

In this study, the sizes and velocities of droplets in sprays were measured by image processing method from digital images of local region of sprays. The morphological method based on the Euclidean distance transform, Watershed separation, and perimeter image was adopted for the recognition and separation of overlapped particles. The match probability method was used for the particle tracking and pairing. The measurement results show that the present method may be reliable for the analysis of the motion and distribution of droplets produced by spray and atomization devices.
