Apparatus of rotating disk and cup are widely used spray paintings and industrial boilers. This study was conducted experimentally to investigate the characteristics of liquid atomization in a rotating disk atomizer by means of viscous liquid mixed water and glycerin. The Purpose of this study are to observe breakup mechanism according to the variation of supplied flow rate $0.4{\sim}30 cm^3/s$ and rotating speed $200{\sim}4000rpm$, and to investigate three kinds of breakup Pattern such as drop ligament and film formation by comparing the transition flow rate. ligament number and ligament length to those of Tanasawa and Matsumoto's empirical formula. The results are as follows ; The higher it makes use of viscous liquid. the better it get the characteristics of breakup mechanism. Also When I compared practical value with experiential value at similar test conditions. it was shown similar tendency though were a little variation.

The pressurized spray system with nitrogen gas was designed to fabricate the spherical AN(ammonium nitrate) particles. When AN melt was sprayed from a nozzle with equivalent diameter of 0.28mm into an ambient dry air, the ligament breakup mechanism of the molten AN was found to be responsible for the droplet formation(or disintegration) of AN melt. In the experimental range of spray temperature with $170{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ and atomization pressure with $0.1{\sim}0.4MPa$, the spherical AN particles with mean diameter of $130{\sim}250{\mu}m$ were obtained.

A unique feature of fluidic atomizers is that the nozzle geometry produces a thin capillary Jet which is forced to oscillate on a 2-dimensional plane through the use of a passive feedback mechanism. The objective of the current work is to characterize the influence of the stagnation pressure at the nozzle exit, jet oscillation and stretching on the breakup properties of the capillary ligament. To achieve this, shadow graph technique is used to measure size, shape, velocity and the number density of the droplets as a function of the position within the spray fan. The breakup length, defined as the radial distance from the breakup point, is analyzed as a function of the non-dimensional parameters. Finally, a kinematic model is developed to simulate the breakup of the oscillating jets at low stagnation pressures. Using the existing jet breakup theories, the model is used to predict the size and diameter distribution of the droplets after primary atomization.

With the global shift from a carbon-based economy to a hydrogen-based economy, understanding the sloshing phenomenon and its impact on boil-off rate (BOR) in liquid hydrogen (LH2) tank trailers is crucial. Here, we analyze the primary breakup process under sloshing phenomena in a liquid fuel tank. We observe the growth of multiple holes on the sheet-like structures and the formation of ligament structures reminiscent of jet atomization. Through the extraction of three-dimensional liquid regions, we analyze the geometrical characteristics of these regions, enabling the classification of sheets, ligaments, and droplets. The present findings could contribute to understanding the breakup mechanism and hold potential for the development of strategies aimed at minimizing BOR.
