Convolution Fourier transformation tomographically reconstructs the spatially resolved spray injection rate from direct measuring cells. Asymmetric sprays generated from a twin-hole air shroud injector are tested with 12 equiangular projections of measurements. For each projection angle, line of sight integrated injection rate was measured at 35 positions with equal spacing measuring cells of 3 mm in width, 100 mm in length, 55 mm in depth and 0.5 mm thickness of separating wall. Interpolated data between the projection angles effectively increase the number of projections, which significantly enhances the signal-to-noise level in the reconstructed data. This modified convolution Fourier transformation scheme predicts well the structure of asymmetric sprays. Comparative study has been made between sprays with and without air shrouding. Tomograhpic reconstruction of injection rate from direct measuring cells obtained can be used to estimate the accuracy of volume fraction of spray from the LDPA tomographic reconstruction.

Y-jet nozzle has a wide fuel flow rate range and turn-down ratio, thus, it is used in industrial boilers, furnace and agricultural atomizer. However, it has asymmetrical spray characteristics due to the nozzle design factors. Therefore, in this study, asymmetric spraying characteristics of the elliptical Y-jet nozzle was studied by using the lab-scale spray apparatus. As a result, the elliptical Y-jet nozzle had lower gas mass flow rate than circular Y-jet nozzle at same gas pressure, because of bigger shear stress due to the wider inner surface at the elliptical Y-jet nozzle. Larger SMD was measured on the elliptical Y-jet nozzle than the circular Y-jet nozzle. When SMD was measured in the X_Axis direction at the same gas mass flow rate, the elliptical Y-jet nozzle with an aspect ratio of 2:1 showed greater asymmetry than the others.

The swirl spray for direct-injection spark-ignition (DISI) engines was investigated using a nozzle whose exit surface shape was cut with a certain tapered angle. The reason for the change in spray's characteristics at various tapered angles was explained by the data correlating the taper and flow angles. The spray tended to shift its characteristics from the symmetric to asymmetric when the tapered angle was increased; furthermore, the spray penetration and spray cone angle were also increased. When the tapered angle was greater than the $90^{\circ}$ minus flow angle, an opened hollow cone spray was formed because of the fuel impingement against the tapered surface area of the nozzle exit. This behavior indicates that the reduction in the air pressure difference between the inner and outer spray of the spray can be achieved. This behavior also promises the potential use of the tapered nozzle for the case where the independence of the spray performance from atmospheric pressure and fuel temperature is desired.

The near field structure of round turbulent jets with initially asymmetric velocity distribution is investigated experimentally. Experiments were carried out using a constant temperature hot-wire anemometry system to measure streamwise velocity in the jets. The measurements were undertaken across the jet at various streamwise stations in a range starting from the jet exit plane and up to a downstream location of twelve diameters. The experimental results include the distribution of mean and instantaneous velocities, vorticity field, turbulence intensity, and the Reynolds shear stress. The asymmetry of the jet exit plane was obtained by using circular cross-section pipes with a bend at the upstream of the exit. Three pipes were used for this study: A straight pipe, 90 and 160 degree-bended pipes. Therefore, at the upstream of the pipe exit, the secondary flow through the bend and the mean streamwise velocity distribution could be controlled by changing the curvature of pipes.

A convolution alogorithm combined with Fourier transformation is applied to the tomographic reconstruction of the asymmetric spray structure to identify the local drop size and volume concentration. The line of sight intergrated data from Malvern particle analyzer with multiangular scanning form a basic information for the deconvolution. Linear interpolation is tested to obtain the effect of increasing number of scanning angles. This transformation method predicts well the structure of asymmetric spray. The tehnique can be extended to other line of sight combustion diagnostics.

When a cold HPSI (High Pressure Safety Injection) fluid associated with a design basis accident, such as LOCA (Loss of Coolant Accident), enters the cold legs of a stagnated primary coolant loop, thermal stratification phenomena may arise due to incomplete mixing. If the stratified flow enters a reactor pressure vessel downcomer, severe thermal stresses are created in a radiation embrittled vessel wall by local overcooling. Previous thermal-mixing analyses have assumed that the thermal stratification phenomena generated in stagnated loop of a partially stagnated collant loop are neutralized in the vessel downcomer by strong flow from unstagnated loop. On the basis of these reasons, this paper presents the thermal-mixing analysis results in order to identify the fact that the cold plume generated in the vessel downcomer due to the thermal stratification phenomena of the stagnated loop is affected by the strong flow of the unstagnated loop.

Swirl flow in the gun type burner has a decisive effect on the stabilization of the flame, improvement of the combustion efficiency, and also a reduction of NOx. This swirl flow is created by the spinner which is inside the airtube that guide the combustion air. Gun type burner has generally the inner devices composed nozzle adapter, spark gap ignitor, and spinner. These inner components change the air flow behavior passing through air tube. Meanwhile, turbulent characteristics of this air flow are important to understand the combustion phenomena in the gun type burner, because the mixture of fuel and air are depended on. However, nearly all of the studies have been analyzed the turbulent flow of simplified combustion formation without the inner devices. So, this study conducted the measurement using by hot-wire anemometer and analyzed turbulent flow characteristics of the swirl flow discharged from the air tube with inner devices. Turbulence characteristics come up in this study were turbulence intensity, kinetic energy and shear stress of the air flow with the change of the distance of axial direction from the exit of the air tube.

Zn코팅은 우수한 내식성과 경제성을 바탕으로 자동차나 건축자재 등 산업의 전반적인 분야에서 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 하지만 최근 한정된 Zn의 매장량으로 인한 원자제의 가격상승과 습식 도금과정의 환경오염 물질 배출 문제가 기존 Zn 코팅의 약점으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서 새로운 원소의 첨가로 인한 Zn의 사용량 감소나 친환경적인 공정방법을 적용하는 연구가 대두되고 있다. 최근의 연구 결과에 따르면 Zn-Mg 합금이 다른 Zn계 합금에 비해 내식성이 우수하며, 이와 같은 우수한 내식성은 $Mg_2Zn_{11}$, $MgZn_2$와 같은 Mg-Zn 이원계의 합금상에 의한 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 친환경적인 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터 공정을 활용하여 다양한 공정조건 하에서 Zn-Mg 박막을 합성하여 최적의 공정 조건을 도출하고자 하였다. Zn-Mg 박막 합성 시 Mg타겟의 조성은 3~10 wt.%로 변화하였으며 Zn-Mg 합금 타겟의 온도를 제어하여 박막의 Mg 조성과 타겟 온도가 Zn-Mg 도금강의 내식성 및 밀착성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 합성된 Zn-Mg 박막은 FE-SEM, EDS, XRD를 사용하여 미세조직, 두께, Mg 조성, 합금상 등을 분석하였으며, 염수분무시험 및 0T 굽힘 시험을 활용하여 Zn-Mg 박막의 내식성 및 내식성을 비교 분석하였다. FE-SE및 EDS분석 결과 Zn-Mg 박막의 Mg 조성은 합금 타겟의 조성이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, Mg 함량이 증가할수록 미세구조가 치밀하게 변화하였다. 또한 Zn-Mg 박막 합성 중 타겟의 온도가 상승할수록 박막의 치밀도는 감소하였다. XRD분석 결과 박막을 이루는 주요 합금상은 Zn상과 $Mg_2Zn_{11}$상이며 본 연구에서는 증착 조건에 따른 합금상의 큰 변화는 보이지 않았다. 염수분무실험 및 밀착성 평가 결과 박막의 미세조직이 치밀할수록 Zn-Mg 도금강의 내식성은 향상되었으나, 밀착성은 오히려 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 Zn-Mg 박막이 치밀한 미세구조일수록 부식환경에서의 강판에 대한 보호 효과는 증가하는 반면, 변형 시 박막의 파괴로 인한 박리 현상이 가속되기 때문으로 판단된다.
