An improved spray model of a pressure-swirl atomizer was developed and the grid dependency of the model was investigated. Since the Lagrangian-Eulerian approach was adopted for tracking droplets, very small grids could not be used. However, in order to detect swirl flow accurately, small grids were needed because of the consideration of swirl injection. In order to overcome these limitations, numerical studies were performed by using various grids with cell sizes ranging from 10.0 $\times$ 10 mm to 0.625 $\times$ 0.625 mm. From these calculated results, it was observed that the most efficient grid cell size was 1.25 $\times$ 1.25 mm.

Spray characteristics were investigated by impinging F-O-O-F type injector with varying the impingement angle through 15, 20 and 30 degree and the mixture ratio(O/F ratio) from 1.5 to 3.0. Experimental results show that the correlation between dispersion and impingement angle is not influenced of the mixture ratio variation, but which has influence on number density, and there is a linear correlation between dispersion and impingement angle. Velocity distribution, standard deviation and SMD of droplets are decreased as the impingement angle increases. Also, it was confirmed that the distribution of droplet size are in accordance with Rosin-Rammler and Upper-limit distribution.

An experimental study was performed to understand spray characteristics of the rotary atomizer for the slinger combustor. In this fuel injection system, fuel is injected and atomized in the combustor by centrifugal forces to engine shaft. The experimental apparatus consists of a high speed rotational spindle, rotary atomizer, pressure tank and acrylic case. The droplet size and velocity were measured by PDPA (phase Doppler particle analyzer), and spray was visualized by using high speed camera and Nd:Yag laser-based flash photography. From the test results, the droplet size (SMD) is largely affected by rotational speed, mass flow rate and the number of orifice. As the experimental results, we could understand the spray characteristics of the rotary atomizer for the slinger combustor and obtain the optimum shape of the rotary atomizer which is suitable for the small gas turbine engine.

The mixing characteristics of pylon injection in a Scramjet combustor and effects of film cooling to protect pylon from air-heating. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model were used. Fuel hydrogen and air were considered as coolants. There were remarkable improvements of penetration and mixing rate with the pylon injection. There also over-heating on the front surface of pylon without film cooling. The coolant injected parallel to the front surface of the pylon protect the pylon from over-heating.

This study was experimentally analyzed to improve the performance and to reduce exhaust emissions in a turbochaged D.I. diesel engine of the displacement 9.4L. In generally, the system of intake port, fuel injection and turbocharger are very important factors which have influence on the engine performance and exhaust emission because the properties in the injected fuel depend on the combustion characteristics. The optimum results which is tested as available factors fur better performance and emission are as follows; the swirl ratio is 2.43, compression ratio is 16, combustion bowl is $5^{\circ}$ re-entrant type, nozzle hole diameter is ${\phi}0.28*6$, injection timing is BTDC $13^{\circ}CA$ and turbocharger is GT40 model which are selected compressor A/R 0.58 and turbine A/R 1.19.

고온의 증기가 과냉각 상태의 물과 직접접촉에 의해 발생하는 응축현상(DCC Direct Contact Condensation)을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 본 연구는 두단계로 나누어 수행하였다. 1단계 연구에서는 간단한 원형관 형태의 수평 노즐을 통하여 증기제트가 대기압 상태의 과냉각수로 분출될 때 증기제트 및 주위의 거동을 측정·분석하였다. 수조의 온도와 증기유량의 변화에 따른 증기제트의 축방향과 반경방향 온도분포와 수조 벽면에서의 동압을 측정하였으며, 고속 비디오 카메라를 사용하여 각각의 경우에 대하여 증기제트의 분출이미지를 촬영하였다. 벽면에서의 동압은 노즐의 분출구직경과 응축수의 온도에 비례하여 증가하였다. 2단계 연구에서는 몇가지 형태의 증기분사기 축소 모형에 대한 응축성능을 비교하였다. 이때에는 수조의 온도상승으로 인해 수조가 가압되는 정도를 알아보기 위해 수조를 밀봉한 상태로 실험을 수행하였다. 실험시 수조의 압력은 시간의 경과에 따라 계속적으로 증가하였으나, 이는 방출된 증기의 불완전한 응축에 의한 것은 아니고 증기의 분출과 응축으로 인한 응축수의 부피팽창과 수조 온도의 상승으로 인한 증기압의 상승 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

Heat and fluid flow in a compressor into which liquid refrigerant is injected for the purpose of reducing discharge gas temperature in a heat pump system has been numerically studied. A mechanistic approach encompassing liquid jet breakup and droplet evaporation has been performed to investigate the effects of liquid injection on the spacial and temporal variation of the gas temperature and pressure inside the compressor cylinder. Various parameters, such as liquid injection mass, time, duration and droplet size, are considered in the present study to elucidate the flow field inside the compressor. As the injection mass is increased, discharge gas temperature is decreased, while the pressure is increased due to the added mass of the injection. For the injected liquid mass corresponding to 15% of the total vapor mass in the cylinder, the discharge gas temperature drops by 22.4 K. It is observed that the droplet size plays a major role in the evaporation rate of the droplets that determines the degree of the discharge temperature drop.

One of the problems in a refrigerator operation is the frost formation on a cold surface of the evaporator. The frost layer is formed by the sublimation of water vapor when the surface temperature is below the freezing point. This frost layer is usually porous and formed on the cold surface of the evaporator. The frost layer on the surface of a evaporator will make side effect such as thermal resistance. However, these important factors have not been used in determining the defrosting period. Therefore, the proper defrosting operation period based on the new defrosting method is very important, and make a comparison between conventional method like electric defrost and new method in compression work, evaporation pressure, evaporation temperature.

This paper discusses the thermodynamic study on the suction cooling-steam injected gas turbine cycle. The aim of this study is to improve the thermal efficiency and the specific output by steam injection produced by the waste heat from the waste heat recovery boiler and by cooling compressor inlet air by an ammonia absorption-type suction cooling system. The operating region of this newly devised cycle depends upon the pinch point limit and the outlet temperature of refrigerator. The higher steam injection ratio and the lower the evaporating temperature of refrigerant allow the higher thermal efficiency and the specific output. The optimum pressure ratios and the steam injection ratios for the maximum thermal efficiency and the specific output can be found. It is evident that this cycle considered as one of the most effective methods which can obtain the higher thermal efficiency and the specific output comparing with the conventional simple cycle and steam injected gas turbine cycle.
