Fuel spray nozzle has a critical effect on combustion characteristics. Mass flow rate and SMD(sauter mean diameter) were selected as design variables by using the experiment data of various types of duplex fuel nozzles for the swirl atomizers. The sensitivity of each design variable on the mass flow rate and SMD was analyzed and the uniformity of mass flow rate was investigated through the shape optimization of duel-orifice-type swirl atomizers. The design variables that have a little effect on the optimum design were excluded using the DOE(design of experiments) method, which enabled the optimization of sensitive design variables on mass flow rate and limit tolerance. The SMD of the research spray nozzle that was used in this study was found to be most similar to that of the calculation results using the Jasuja's SMD relationship. This study showed the specific characteristics of duel orifice type swirl atomizers and the optimization of these kinds of nozzle. This study provided the optimization design of mass flow rate and its allowable tolerance.

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.

Dual-mode Phase Doppler Anemometry (DPDA) was used to scrutinize the spatial distribution characteristics of spray emanating from a small Liquid-Rocket Engine (LRE) injector. Droplet size and velocity were measured according to the variation of injection pressure along the plane normal to the spray stream and then the spray characteristic parameters such as Arithmetic Mean Diameter (AMD), Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD), number density, span of drop size distribution, and volume flux were deduced for an investigation of spray breakup characteristics. As the injection pressure increases, the number density, span, and volume flux of spray droplets become higher, whereas the AMD gets smaller.

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-thruster injector. Spray injected from nozzle orifice with length-to-diameter ratio $(L/d_o)$ of 1.67 and at the injection pressure of 27.6 bar is aligned to the vertical. Vertical and horizontal mean velocities of droplets, Arithmetic Mean Diameter (AMD), Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD), and volumetric flux decrease as droplets travel from center/upstream toward outer region/downstream of spray.

The objective of this study is to obtain the correlation between the spray characteristics and the etching characteristics for the optimization of etching system in the micro fabrication industry. The etching characteristics such as etching rate were measured under different conditions. The single spray characteristics such as droplet size and velocity were measured by PDA system. These were compared to the etching characteristics. The twin spray characteristics in the overlap region were analyzed to predict the effect of them on the etching characteristics with the pitch and also were compared to the single spray. The etching rate was increased in case of high spray pressure and in the region of spray center. It was found that the etching characteristics could be correlated with the single spray characteristics and the twin spray characteristics were correlated with the etching characteristics.

약액의 분무입경, 분무각, 분무량은 방제의 효율성과 관련된 중요한 요소로서, 노즐의 형상 설계는 이러한 요소를 결정하는 것에 큰 영향을 준다. 특히 비교적 낮은 압력에서 분무가 되어야 하는 배부식 방제기에서 노즐의 역할은 더욱 커지는데, 노즐의 성능 향상은 분무를 원활하게 하여 농약 사용량을 줄이고, 또한 무화 압력을 낮추어 작업의 편리성을 도모하며, 에너지 절감 효과도 기대 할 수 있다. (중략)

This study was performed to make a close inquiry into a pseudo 3-dimensional structure of the liquid-propellant spray emerging from nonimpinging-type injector. Spray configuration near the injector exit was captured by a high-speed camera, and then its periodic phenomena (shedding) was observed. Detailed spatial structure of spray was investigated by spray characteristic parameters (velocity, diameter, volume flux, etc.) with the aid of a Dual-mode Phase Doppler Anemometry (DPDA). Experiment was carried out at various locations along the geometric axis of the nozzle orifice and on the plane normal to the spray stream with the injection pressures of 17.2 to 27.6 bar.

Atomization characteristics of small LRE-injector spray are investigated by using dual-mode phase Doppler anemometry (DPDA). Velocity, size, number density, and volume flux were measured at various injection pressures along the radial distance to make a close inquiry into spatial distribution characteristic of spray droplets. As the injection pressure increases, the velocity, turbulence intensity, number density, and volume flux of spray droplets become higher, whereas the droplet size ($D_{10}$ or $D_{32}$) gets smaller. Also, velocity and volume flux are proportional to Sauter mean diameter (SMD, $D_{32}$).

Atomization characteristics and spatial distribution of the spray emanating from an injector of liquid-propellant thruster are investigated by using dual-mode phase Doppler anemometry (DPDA). Spray characteristic parameters such as the mean velocity, Sauter mean diameter (SMD), and velocity fluctuation are measured at various locations along the spray axis as well as on the radial direction. Those data are quantified in radial profile and also used to scrutinize the correlation between diameter and turbulence intensity of spray droplets. For the better visual grasp, dynamic behavior of spray droplets along the spray stream is presented through the velocity vectors projected on the plane of geometric axis of nozzle orifice and radial coordinate.

Two-dimensional distribution characteristics on the spray droplets emanating from an injector employed in a liquid-propellant thruster are investigated through dual-mode phase Doppler anemometry (DPDA). Spray-breakup characteristic parameters such as spray droplet velocity, turbulent intensity, Sauter mean diameter (SMD), number density, and volumetric flux are quantified to scrutinize the macroscopic behavior of injector-spray breakup. The present study will be able to contribute to the comprehension for performance features of the thruster in current use and to the design engineering of a brand-new thruster as well.
