Electrospraying comprises the generation of liquid droplets by applying a high voltage to the surface of a liquid. By monitoring the current and the flow rate it was possible to obtain a stable cone jet mode in a given condition. In this work the liquid contained NaCl particles resolved in distilled water. The NaCl particles increased concentration of the ionized solution and thus increased electrical conductivity of the liquid, which was inversely proportional to the flow rate in the cone jet mode. A number of sprayed droplets were sampled and dried enough, and then the size of NaCl particles were measured. The measured droplet diameter was a little larger than two theoretical diameters, Rayleigh diameter and mobility diameter.

Various studies have been conducted for drag reduction of a high-speed vehicle by injecting counterflow jet from its nose cone. In this study, in order to obtain baseline data and key parameters for drag reduction method, the counterflow jet study of the USA is reviewed and summarized. The nose cone shapes of each study are hemisphere cylinder, truncated cone, and reentry capsule, and their test conditions are summarized accordingly. Key parameters for drag reduction are jet mach number, mass flow rate, and pressure ratio. Even though drag reduction effects show various results according to given test conditions, it is found that the drag reduction effect reaches up to 40~50%.

The generation of fine relics of suspensions is a significant interest as it holds the key to the fabrication of electronic devices. These processes offer opportunities for miniaturization of multilayer circuits, for production of functionally graded materials, ordered composites and far small complex-shaped components. Some novel printing methods of depositing ceramic and metal droplets were suggested in recent years. In an electro-hydrodynamic printing, the metallic capillary nozzle can be raised to several kilovolts with respect to the infinite ground plate or pin-type electrode positioned a few millimeters from the nozzle tip. Depending on the electrical and physical properties of the liquid, for a given geometry, it Is possible to generate droplets in any one of three modes, dripping, cone-jet and multi-jet. In this experiment, an alumina suspension flowing through a nozzle was subjected to electro-hydrodynamic printing using pin-type electrodes in the cone-jet mode at different applied voltages. The pin-type electrodes of 1, 100, 1000${\mu}m$ in diameter were used to form fine ceramic patterns onto the substrates. Various feature sizes with applied voltages and electrode diameters were measured. The feature sizes increased with the electrode diameter and applied voltages. The feature size was as fine as $30 {\mu}m$.

In this paper, supersonic jets impinging on axisymmetric cone were investigated to obtain fundamental design data for jet deflector case of example being VTOL/STOL or rocket launch. It was of interest to study flow phenomena such as shock interactions and separation induced by shear layer. Experiments were conducted to obtain schlieren flow visualization and measurement of surface pressure. Numerical results are compared with the experimental result. The dominant feature of the flow is the shock pattern induced by the interaction between the cone shock and the barrel shock. This pattern can take a wide variety of forms depending on the structure of the free jet and strongly influences the form of the surface pressure distributions.

Electrostatic spray deposition is an innovative coating technique that produces fine, uniform, self-dispersive (due to the Coulombic repulsion), and highly wettable, atomized drops. Copper-indium salts are dissolved in an alcohol-based solvent, which is then electrostatically sprayed onto a moderately heated, molybdenum-coated substrate. Solvent flowrates range from 0.02 to 5 ml/hr under applied voltages of 1 to 20 kV yielding drop sizes around a few hundred nanometers. By comparing the scanning electron miscrscope images of coated samples, the substrate temperature, applied voltage, solvent flowrate, and nozzle-substrate distance are demonstrated to be the primary parameters controlling coating quality. Also, the most stable electrostatic spray mode that reliably produces uniform and fine drops is the cone-jet mode with a Taylor cone issuing from the nozzle.

Subscale high-pressure injection system which use two-stage light gas gun composed with high-pressure tube, pump tube and launch tube can make supersonic liquid jet. The supersonic liquid jet enhances droplet atomization by shockwave in front of the jet. In this study, the experiments was executed to identify the atomization characteristics of the supersonic liquid jet using straight cone nozzle. SMD which presents the atomization characteristics was decreased from $151.2{\mu}m$ to $52.25{\mu}m$ by increasing of L/d.

The generation of fine relics of inorganic and metallic materials from precursor suspensions is of significant current interest as it holds the key to the fabrication of display and printed circuit board. Some novel printing methods depositing ceramic particles have been suggested in recent years. When a conducting liquid is supplied to a capillary nozzle at a low flow rate and when the interface between air and the liquid is charged to a sufficiently high electrical potential, the liquid meniscus takes the form of a stable cone, whose apex emits a microscopic jet. This is called as a cone-jet mode. In our experiments, an alumina particles flowing through a nozzle were subjected to electro-hydrodynamic printing in the cone-jet mode. The pattern of 'YONSEI' characters was tested at $10 {\mu}l/min$ of alumina ink flow rate and different applied voltages. At an applied voltage of 6 kV, feature size was in the range of $250 {\mu}m.$

Onset voltage plays a crucial role in the design of a spray microthruster. This paper presents an analytical electrostatic model to predict the behavior of onset voltage in an array of emitters. The basic idea of this method is to superimpose the electric potentials obtained from each individual emitter in an array of emitters. The results show that if one emitter operates and the other neighboring emitters are dry, the potential required for cone-jet spraying generally increases as the emitter spacing decreases (due to electrical shielding). However at very close spacing the potential can decrease. If all emitters operate at the same time, the phenomenon that even at very close spacing the onset voltage required for cone-jet spraying increases merely as the emitter spacing decreases.

Numerical simulation of steady, non-evaporating hollow-cone sprays interacting with concentric annular air jets is performed using the discrete stochastic particle method in KIVA. The spray characteristics such as SMD, mean droplet velocity, liquid volume flux, air/liquid mass ratio, and droplet number density arc obtained and compared with the measurements involving different air flow rates in large and small annuli. Overall satisfactory agreement is achieved between calculation and experiment except for the deviation in the downstream SMD arising from uncertainty in the size distribution function at injection, and inaccuracy in the averaged spray parameters due to the small volumes of axisymmetric 2-D sector meshes close to the axis.
