In this study, the stability of O/W cosmetic facial cream emulsions according to HLB values was evaluated by mixing nonionic surfactants, such as Brij 78&72 and Brij 98&92. Brij 78&72 (steareth-20&steareth-2, EMS-01), saturated fatty acid, and Brij 98&92 (oleth-20&oleth-2, EMS-02), unsaturated fatty acid, were used as mixed surfactants. The stability of the O/W emulsion was evaluated by using the emulsion viscosity, particle size, particle size distribution, and zeta-potential. The viscosity of the emulsion increased with the increase of time for EMS-01 while that of EMS-02 decreased with the increase of HLB value. The particle size of both EMS-01 and EMS-02 increased with time. The emulsifier with a HLB value of 10.8, which is the most similar to the required HLB value of mineral oil, 10.5, had the smallest particle size and highest density and also showed the highest emulsion stability. The zeta-potential of both emulsions tended to increase with the HLB value. No significant changes were observed in emulsions of the HLB value of 10.8 or more. The saturated fatty acid system, EMS-01, exhibited a higher zeta-potential value than that of the unsaturated fatty acid EMS-02 and also was superior in the stability.

분사연료의 혼합기형성과정 최적화를 통한 연소제어 기술은 디젤기관의 기관운전 및 배기특성을 향상시키기 위하여 매우 중요하다. 또한 분무의 혼합기형성 최적화를 위해서는 분사된 연료와 주위기체와의 혼합과정에 영향을 미치는 분무내부의 유동특성에 대한 연구는 필수 불가결하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고온 고압의 증발장에서 분무의 액상 거동에 주목하고, 그 거동특성을 통하여 증발디젤분무의 혼합기형성을 해석한다. 비정상 증발분무의 중심축에 레이저 시트광을 입사한 후, 액상분무 액적의 Mie 산란광에 의한 2차원 화상을 획득하여 증발분무 액상의 속도분포 및 와도(vorticity) 등을 구하였다. 분무의 속도분포 및 와도는 2차원 화상에 PIV법을 적용하여 계산하였다. 그림 1에 본 연구에서 구한 속도분포의 일례를 보인다. 본 연구의 결과로 상변화를 동반하는 비정상 증발장에서 구한 분무액상의 거동 특성은 상변화가 일어나지 않는 비증발장에 있어서의 분무거동특성과 유사함을 확인하였다.

In a spray experiment using a venturi mounted on a lean premixed LPP injector, droplets appear to have non-uniform distributions. To solve this problem, the exit angle of the venturi was changed to form a dump surface on the nozzle neck. The dump surface improved the atomization performance and minimized droplet loss while forming recirculation zone in the venturi exit. In order to solve the non-uniform spray of the injector, the flow characteristics inside the venturi and SMD of the spray are compared. Finally, an optimum venturi shape is selected to minimize the spray loss and improve the spray performance.

Microring/nanoring structure has high applicability for nano-antenna and biosensor thanks to its superior optical characteristics. Although coiling nanowires manufactured using immiscible emulsion droplets have an advantage in mass production, this process also forms nanowire bundles. In this study, we solved the nanowire bundle problem by size-selective sorting of the emulsion droplets in a pinched flow fractionation microchannel. Utilizing silver nanowires and immiscible emsulsion droplets, we investigated the correlation between the size of ring droplets and bundle droplet. We visualized the sorting process for glass particles and microring-containing emulsion droplets. Droplets were sorted based on their size, and the ratio of bundle droplets in solution decreased. This droplet-sorting strategy has potential to help the printing and coating process for manufacturing of ring structure patterns and developing of functional materials.

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.

The characteristic of air-assist spray injected into subsonic crossflow were studied experimentally. External-mixing air assist injector of Orifice nozzle with L/d of 3 were tested with various air-liquid ratio. Shadowgraph photography was performed for spray visualization and trajectory of spray measurements. The detailed spray structure was characterized in terms of SMD, velocity, and volume flux, using PDPA. Experimental results indicate that penetration length was increased and spray distribution was accelerated by increasing air-liquid ratio.

The spray characteristics of the oxidizer-rich preburner are investigated. From the PDPA measurement, droplet SMD of $210{\mu}m$ and droplet axial velocity of 38 m/s are measured at 100 mm distance from the nozzle tip on the fuel pressure of $25kgf/cm^2$ and oxidizer pressure of $10kgf/cm^2$. The droplet velocity is decreased with the axial distance and the oxidizer spray makes dominant effect on the combined spray characteristics of the oxidizer-rich preburner injector.

In this paper, the problem of transonic aerodynamic characteristics of a NACA0012 airfoil is numerically investigated in the inviscid gas-droplet two-phase flow with the compressible two-fluid model. In the present study, the airfoil flight in the cloud is simulated by taking account of the viscous drag of the droplets, the heat transfer, the phase change, and the droplet fragmentation The two-fluid equation system is solved by the fractional-step method and the WAF-HIL scheme. The effects of size and volume fraction of the droplets on the flow characteristics of the airfoil in the cloud are elaborated and discussed.

Simple and highly efficient droplet merging method is proposed, which enables two nanoliter or picoliter droplets to merge regularly in a straight microchannel. We observe that two droplets of the same size but of different viscosities are merged by velocity difference induced as they are transported with the carrier fluid. To make viscosity difference, the mass ratio of water and glycerol is varied. Two droplets of the same size or of different sizes are generated alternatingly in the cross channel by controlling flowrates. This droplet merging method can be used to mix or encapsulate one target sample with another material, so that it can be applied to cell lysis, particle synthesis, drug discovery, hydrogel-bead production, and so on.

Correlations of drop size and velocity in a spray from the disintegration of liquid jet and liquid film from an internal mixing twin-fluid atomizer, were determined by phase Doppler method. The distribution pattern of Sauter mean diameter(SMD) in a spray was changed by a behavior of liquid flow. As smaller droplets became faster and slower easily by the surrounding conditions, the correlation between drop size and mean velocity was found to be varied as next 3 steps; firstly smaller droplets have a higher mean velocity at the area near atomizer, droplets have almost the same mean velocity and finally larger droplets have a higher mean velocity at the area far from an atomizer.
