환경문제를 야기하는 할론 소화설비의 사용이 금지되면서 대체소화설비로 관심을 끌며 연구되기 시작한 미세물분무 소화설비이다. 미세물분무는 고압에서 물을 방사하여 $Dv_{0.99}$가 1,000$\mu$m 미만의 물입자를 만들며 작은 물입자로 인해 표면적의 증가와 증발특성이 우수하고, 산소농도를 감소시키는 질식작용과 화염의 냉각작용에 의해 소화작용을 상승시킨다. 이러한 미세물분무의 소화작용에 대한 소규모 화재실험을 기반으로 유류화재의 진압$\cdot$소화특성에 대한 실용화를 위해 실제크기 화재실험을 하였다.(중략)

The vaporization characteristics and spray combustion processes in the high-pressure environment are numerically investigated. This study employ the high-pressure vaporization model together with the state-of-art spray submodels. The present high-pressure vaporization model can account for transient liquid heating, circulation effect inside the droplet forced convection, Stefan flow effect, real gas effect and ambient gas solubility in the liquid droplets. Computations are carried out for the evaporating sprays, the evaporating and burning sprays, and the spray combustion processes of the turbocharged diesel engine. Numerical results indicate that the high-pressure effects are quite crucial for simulating the spray combustion processes including vaporization, spray dynamics, combustion, and pollutant formation.

The focus of this work is placed on the analysis of the mixture formation process under the evaporative diesel-free spray conditions. In order to examine homogeneity of mixture within the vapor phase region of the injected spray, image analysis was carried out based on the entropy of statistical thermodynamics. As an experimental parameter, the injection pressure and ambient gas density were selected, and effects of the injection pressure and density variation of ambient gas on the mixture formation process in the evaporative diesel spray were investigated. In the case of application of the thermodynamic entropy analysis to evaporative diesel spray, the value of the dimensionless entropy always increases with increase in time from injection start. Consequently, the dimensionless entropy in the case of the higher injection pressure is higher than that of lower injection pressure during initial injection period.

The effects of change in injection pressure on spray structure have been investigated in high temperature and pressure field. To analyze the structure of evaporative diesel spray is important in speculation of mixture formation process. Also emissions of diesel engines can be controlled by the analyzed results. Therefore, this study examines the evaporating spray structure by using a constant volume vessel. The injection pressure is selected as the experimental parameter, is changed from 72 MPa to 112 MPa with a high pressure injection system(ECD-U2). The PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) technique was used to capture flow variation of the evaporative diesel spray. A study on the mixture formation process of diesel spray was executed by the results of flow analysis in this study. Consequentially the large-scale vortex flow could be found in downstream spray and the formed vortex governs the mixture formation process in diesel spray.

This study investigates the evaporation characteristics of paired sessile droplets on a heated substrate. In particular, the evaporation time and contact line behaviors were analyzed based on the droplet-to-droplet distance and substrate temperature. The contact line behavior and volume variations were visualized using the shadowgraph method. It was observed that the contact diameter and contact angle exhibited similar behavior for both single and paired droplets regardless of the droplet-to-droplet distance and substrate temperature. The paired droplets demonstrated a longer evaporation time than the single droplet due to the vapor accumulation between the droplets. Furthermore, the scaled lifetime, defined as the ratio of evaporation time between paired and single droplets, increased as the droplet-to-droplet distance decreased and decreased as the substrate temperature increased, attributed natural convection.

This study was carried out not only to develop CFD model for numerically simulating fog cooling system but also to verify the validity of the developed model by data measured in fag cooling greenhouse. In addition the developed model was applied to investigate the effects of spraying water temperature, spraying water amount, spraying interval and evaporation percentage on the performance of the fog cooling system. According to the simulation results, the temperature differences between the measured and predicted temperatures at each measurement point were $0.1~1.4^{\circ}C$ in case of no shading and $0.2~2.3^{\circ}C$ in close of shading. The humidity differences were 0.3~6.0% and 0.7~10.6%, respectively in the cases of no shading and shading. Because the predicted data showed a good agreement with the measured ones, the developed model is supposed to be able to predict the cooling effect of the fog cooling system. The performance of fog cooling system was greatly influenced by spraying water amount, spraying interval and evaporation percentage, but it was not influenced by spraying water temperature.

In order to develop the cooling load estimation method in the greenhouse, the cooling load calculation formula based on the heat balance method was constructed and verified by the actual cooling load measured in the fog cooling greenhouse. To examine the ventilation heat transfer in the cooling load calculation formula, we measured ventilation rates in the experimental greenhouse which a cooling system was not operated. The ventilation heat transfer by a heat balance method showed a relatively good agreement. Evaporation efficiencies of the two-fluid fogging system were a range of 0.3 to 0.94, average 0.67, and it showed that they increased as the ventilation rate increased. We measured thermal environments in a fog cooling greenhouse, and calculated cooling load by heat balance equation. Also we calculated evaporative cooling energy by measuring the sprayed amount in the fogging system. And by comparing those two results, we could verify that the calculated and the measured cooling load showed a relatively similar trend. When the cooling load was low, the measured value was slightly larger than calculated, when the cooling load was high, it has been found to be smaller than calculated. In designing the greenhouse cooling system, the capacity of cooling equipment is determined by the maximum cooling load. We have to consider the safety factor when installed capacity is estimated, so a cooling load calculation method presented in this study could be applied to the greenhouse environmental design.

Among the various vegetables eggplant and gourd family can stand against high temperature environmental condition, about 35$^{\circ}C$. However, most of greenhouse farmers are giving up crop cultivation during hot summer season due to extreme temperature, 4$0^{\circ}C$ or above, condition of greenhouse interior. To improve this inferior crop growth condition, for nozzle system was installed in the pet greenhouse and the effect of fog system was investigated in order to determine fog water amount and the required fog nozzle numbers according to house volumes. MEE fog nozzle was selected for this Investigation which can produce water particle size of 27${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with water amount of 100$m\ell$ at pumping pressure of 70kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. House cooling test was conducted in the pet greenhouse with one minute fogging and one minute air ventilation without stopping. It maintained 32$^{\circ}C$ at the house interior when the atmosphere and the house temperature were 35 and 4$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. And, an experimental equation was developed through calculating the changes of relative humidity and temperature with psychrometric equation which revealed the moisture transfer pattern between the house air and fog system. It showed that the required water fogging amounts to reduce 1$0^{\circ}C$, 40 to 3$0^{\circ}C$, needs 80.7$\ell$ for 1-2W(8,350㎥) and 99.9$\ell$ for 3-2G-3S(10,330㎥) type greenhouse with particle size of 27${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

The vaporization and combustion of liquid spray in a cylindrical shape combustor was studied numerically. Mixture of liquid drops and air was assumed to be ejected from the center-hole and assisting air from the concentric annulus with swirling. Eulerian-Lagrangian scheme was adopted for the two phase calculation, and the interactions between the phases were considered with the PSIC model. Also adopted were the infinite conductivity model for drop vaporization, the equation of Arrhenius and the eddy break-up model for reaction rate, and the k-epsilon model for turbulence calculations. Gas flow patterns, drop trajectories and contours of temperature and mass fractions of the gas species were predicted with swirl number, drop diameter, and equivalence ratio taken as parameters. Calculations show that the vaporization and the consequent combustion efficiency enhance with the increase of the swirl number and/or with the decrease of drop size, and the higher maximum temperature is attained with the higher equivalence ratio.

2-유체 인젝터의 분무연소에 대한 통찰 및 구조에 대한 이해와 연료-공기 혼합과 연소반응의 물리적 이해에 필요한 수치적 모델의 개발 및 검증을 위해서는 2유체 시스템에서 액체 및 기체 각각의 기본적 특성인 액적크기, 액적속도, 액적의 질량플럭스(flux), 가스상의 속도측정 등이 필요하다. 특히, 액체분무에서는 액적의 크기를 예측하는 것이 매우 중요한 과제이며, 액적의 크기에 영향을 주는 인자들로는 노즐의 형태, 분사액체의 물성치(점도, 표면장력, 밀도), 주위기체의 조건(온도, 압력, 응축과 증발현상), 분사압력 등이 있다. 그러나, 실제 분무액적의 크기는 분포를 가지므로 같은 SMD를 가지더라도 그 분포의 정도는 크게 다를 수 있어 결과적으로 분무액적의 크기를 평균값만으로 표현하는 것은 불충분할 뿐만 아니라 그 적용에도 한계를 가지게 된다. 따라서 분무액적의 평균크기와 함께 그 분포의 정도 등을 함께 나타내려는 시도가 많은 과학자들에 의하여 연구되었다.
