A single spray plume is the basic unit of the entire spray plume and is an important factor in understanding the spray characteristics. However, since the multi-hole GDI injector has a narrow spray angle, the superposition of the spray plumes occurs severely. Therefore, the spray uniformity and the spray atomization characteristics of a single spray plume were analyzed in this study using a single-hole GDI injector. Five single-hole GDI injectors with different nozzle hole diameters were used in the experiment. The uniformity of the spray was evaluated through the analysis of the spray pattern images. In addition, the atomization characteristics were compared using the diameter distribution of the spray droplets obtained using PDPA. As a result, the larger diameter of the nozzle hole, the less uniformity of the spray, and the injection pressure did not have a significant effect on the spray uniformity. It is judged that the surface roughness of the injector has a greater effect on spray uniformity than the diameter of the nozzle hole. Also, the size of the spray droplets increased sharply when the diameter of the nozzle hole was 230 ㎛.

In this study, spray characteristics of n-heptane and propane were investigated under different injection pressure using various imaging techniques such as Mie-scattering, DBI (diffuse back-illumination), and Schlieren imaging techniques. NI compact RIO system was used to control a test injector. Spray penetration length, length-to-width ratio and number of black pixels were calculated by using MATLAB software to compare spray characteristics of each fuel. Longer spray penetration length and higher length-to-width ratio were observed in propane spray because of flash boiling caused by high saturated vapor pressure. Spray collapse occurred in propane spray due to the high plume-to-plume interaction. Moreover, rapid evaporation occurred in propane spray, so that nozzle tip wetting could not be observed. Rapid evaporation of propane also caused fewer residual droplets compared to n-heptane spray. Therefore, propane is advantageous in reducing the generation of soot emission from large droplets that are not atomized. However, additional evaluation should be conducted considering combustion efficiency and the possibility of deposits by nozzle tip icing during fuel injection.

In this study, the effect of spray-drying conditions and surfactant addition on the spray-drying yield, morphological characterization, size distribution and re-dispersity in water of spray-dried lignocellulose nanofibril (LCNF) were investigated. The freeze-dried LCNF after solvent exchange had linear fiber morphology with a diameter of 70-300 nm, and the spray-dried LCNF showed rod-like particle morphology. The spray-drying yield and particle size of spary-dried LCNF at $140^{\circ}C$ was highest and smallest, respectively. As LCNF concentration and blowing rate decreased and increased, respectively, the spray-drying yield and particle size were increased. The highest spray-drying yield was found at distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC) addition of 10 phr at $140^{\circ}C$. As the particle size decreased and the DDAC content increased, filtration time of spray-dried LCNF in water was decreased and increased, respectively.

This study was conducted to manufacture new product containing high soluble polysaccharide from Hericium erinaceus extract. The new products were prepared for powder, granulate and tablet form by spray drying process. The high soluble powder form was mixed with sub-ingredients and then granulated form by granulator and molded as tablet form by a press molder respectively. Moisture content of products was following order; spray dried powder > granule > tablet Total sugar content of produce was observed to 19.14% in spray dried powder, 37.58% in granulate and 35.76% in tablet. The hue angle of products was $85.5^{\circ}$ in spray dried powder, $95.37^{\circ}$ in granulate and $94.67^{\circ}$ in tablet. The absorption capacity was higher in powder, but the product type did not affect the color.

In this study, cold-flow test of simulant gel is conducted using a pressure swirl injector to identify spray characteristics according to gellant weight percent. Experiment results show the aircore is developed locally at the nozzle and expanded to the entire swirl chamber as the supply pressure increases. The aircore formation of simulant gel showed no significant difference compared to Newtonian fluid. The spray pattern was classified into four distinct shapes where relationship between the breakup regimes and dimensionless numbers were investigated. In the future, additional study is necessary to understand the aircore formation mechanism, stability and spray characteristics at different configuration of the swirl chamber shape.

Pseudo-3D spatial distribution of spray droplets is investigated by using Dual-mode Phase Doppler Anemometry (DPDA) in order to examine the disintegration and spreading behavior of spray exiting from liquid-propellant thruster injector. Spray injected from nozzle orifice with length-to-diameter ratio ($L/d_o$) of 1.67 and under the injection pressure of 27.6 bar is aligned to the vertical. Vertical and horizontal mean velocities of droplets, Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD), and volumetric flux decrease as droplets travel from center/upstream toward outer region/downstream of spray. Although the distribution of spray characteristic parameters is symmetric against the geometric axis of nozzle orifice, their absolute values are asymmetric.

Spray and Mixing characteristics of the unlike impinging triplet injectors (F-O-F, O-F-O) were investigated with the variation of the momentum ratio of oxidizer to fuel. The spray pattern was measured using a backlit stroboscopic photography technique, and mixing efficiency was measured using a mechanical patternator. Kerosene/water were used as a propellant simulant. From the experimental results, it is found that a O-F-O type injector has a good atomization. And as the momentum ratio increases, the mixing efficiency decreases rapidly.

Halogen-based fire suppressing agents have been the most effective fire suppressants and widely used for flammable liquid and electric fire. However they have environmental problems causing stratospheric ozone depletion and globe warming. As a substitution of halon, fire suppression system using fine water mist is one of an effective fire suppressant. Suffocating and cooling effects of water mist are increased by the evaporation characteristics because it has droplet size less than 1,000 $\mu{m}$ and very large surface area. In this study, the extinguishing characteristics of fire was measured with changing of water mist droplet size, flow density; discharge pressure, and fire size. As a result, the extinguishing time of pool fire was shortened with the increase of flow density and in case of low flow density less than 0.5$\pm$0.05 ml/$\textrm{cm}^2$ . min, the extinguishing time was shortened with the increase of droplet size. The cycling discharge was effective for $\eta$-heptane pool fire, and total amount of water mist required to extinguish fire was reduced to a quarter compare with continuous discharge.

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.
