I investigated experomentally the spray characteristics to the operating conditions and the shapes of internal mixing twin fluid atomizer. The wide variations of air per liquid ratio are conducted to predit the influences of the Sauter mean diameter(SMD), spray angle, distribution of drop size, the flowing condition of gas and length, flowing, area of gas and liquid, and diameter, number and place of the orifice. In this experiment, air per liquid raio, mixing chamber length per diameter, orifice diameter, and the flowing area ratio of gas and fluid influences greatly on SMD, spray angle, distribution of drop size and intermittent fluctuation region.

Droplet sizes produced from a mist blower should be adequate to get highly biological effects with a reasonable level of work performance. However the droplet sizes from the conventional nozzles of the mist blower were around VMD 95 to 469$\mu$ which were relatively large as compared with the recommended droplet sizes in liquid flow rate of 17.2 m$/ell$s with air flow rate of 16660$m^3$/s on the maximum travel distance of about 4.0 m. The velocity of air stream at the point where two fluids, air and liquid, impact each other, was tried to maximize as much as possible in order to enhance the atomization performance of a newly designed twin fluid nozzles with the same or better level of performance of the conventional mist blower, The configuration of nozzle orifice should be designed to enlarge the contact area between air and liquid to enhance the atomization.

고속기류에 의한 수표면의 유통은 호수나 강에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 물리적인 현상으로서 기류의 속도가 증가함에 따라서 수표면에서 액적이 발생하게 되는 이른바 액체미립화 현상(atomization )이 일어나게 된다. 이러한 액체의 미립화는 내연기관에서의 분무연소에서 부터 가정에서 습도를 유지하는 가습기 및 살충제분무기에 이르기까지 그 운용도가 매우 광범위하며 최근에 이르러 액체미립화가 유체역학의 한 부분을 차지하는 단계에까지 이르러 매년 각국에서 미립화에 대한 심포지움이 개최되고 있으며 연구실적면에서는 미국보다도 오히려 가까운 일본에서 미립화에 대한 연구가 더 활발히 진행되고 있는 반면 아직 우리나라에서는 이렇다할 연구가 없으며 미립 화에 관한 논문도 불과 한두 편에 이르는 실정이다. 이러한 중요한 물리적인 현상에 대해 좀더 자세한 이해를 위해서는 액체와 기체의 상호접촉면에서의 정량적인 특성에 대한 연구가 필요하며 이러한 정량적 인자에는 (1) 액막의 평균두께 (2) 액막내의 속도분포, (3) 액막표면의 파고, 파장의 파면구조, (4)기체중의 속도분포 등이 있다.

Twin-fluid atomization has been widely used in combustors and process industries because of its high performance and simple structure. Flow visualization and pressure measurements were conducted to investigate the effects of gas flow in twin-fluid atomization. Schlieren photographs showed that changes in atomizing gas pressure, altered the wave patterns, and the lengths of both recitrculating toroid (impinging stangnation point) nad supersonic flow region in the jet. A longer supersonic wave pattern like net-shape wqas observed as atomizing gas pressure increased. The disintegration phenomenon of liquid delivery tube. The variation of spray angles with gas pressures were obtained by visualization using laser sheet beam. Suction pressuresat the nozzle orifice exit and recirculating region are shown to be used to estimate the stable atomization condition of a twin-fluid atomizer.
