Liquid breakup under the variation of AC frequency has been studied experimentally in the electrohydrodynamic atomization. The effect of parameters such as charging voltage, flow rate, nozzle tip inner diameter and power frequency have been considered. This work was performed to investigate the experimental analysis for the effect of AC frequency on breakup process, the mapping of occurrence of disintegration region, and the relationship between the applied power and the droplet radius. The experimental results show that the increase of applied voltage in a certain frequency band leads to a reduction in the droplet size within the limits from 50Hz to 400Hz. The transition phenomena from dripping mode to spindle mode were observed under the band of sudden fall of droplet radius changing ratio, and the synchronous region were produced within the range of applied voltage from 5kV to 6kV.

Spray characteristics of external mixing sonic twin-fluid atomization nozzles are investigated experimentally. Particle sizes are measured by the Fraunhofer diffraction method using the Malvern particle analyzer, and their radial distributions are obtained using the tomographical transformation technique. The spatial distribution of SMD shows that the drop size increases in the radial direction at a fixed liquid flow rate, and the distribution is getting uniform rapidly as the atomizing gas pressure increases. The SMD decreases as the liquid flow rate increases at a fixed GLR. It is found that the atomization efficiency of the flush type sonic nozzle is superior to that of protrusion type. The effect of laser beam diameter of the particle analyzer on the spatial SMD distribution is minor at present experimental conditions.

In the pesticides sprays, spray and atomization technologies to increase the deposition and reduce the drift are briefly reviewed. Further research is needed to deduce a measure of drift risk in sprays with different structures, velocity profiles. For flat fan nozzles, the data of breakup length and thickness of liquid sheet are essential to understand the atomization processes and develop the transport model to target. In the air-assisted spray technology to reduce drift, further works on the effect of application height on drift and air assistance on droplet size should be followed. In addition, methods for quantifying included air in the air inclusion techniques are required. A few researches on the droplet size of fallout can be found in the literature. A combined technology with electrostatic method into one of method for the reduction of drift may be an effective strategy for increasing deposition and reducing drift.

An experimental study was performed to explore the drop formation and atomization characteristics in electrohydrodynarnic atomization with flow rate, power supply, voltage frequency, and nozzle size. A basic electrohydrodynarnic atomizer equipment was developed for the analysis of spray visualization and tested for the exploration of relationship between several experimental parameters. In results, the varicose wave had been taken place and the small droplets had been generated less than outer diameter of nozzle on the conditions of 25G of nozzle, flow rate of 2 mL/min, and applied frequency of 50kV at AC power over 5kV voltage. The whipping motion had been grown at applied frequency of 400kV and AC power around 2kV voltage

Supersonic liquid jet discharged from a nozzle has been investigated by using a ballistic range which is composed of high-pressure tube, pump tube, launch tube and liquid storage nozzle. High-speed Schlieren optical method was used to visualize the supersonic liquid jet flow field containing shock wave system, and spray droplet diameter was measured by the laser diffraction method. Experiment was performed with various types of nozzle to investigate the major characteristics of the supersonic liquid jet operating at the range of total pressure of 0.8 from 2.14 GPa. The results obtained shows that shock wave considerably affects the detailed atomization process of the liquid jet and as the nozzle diameter decreases, the shock wave angle and the averaged SMD of spray droplet tends to decrease.

A series of experiments were conducted to generate fine liquid(water) drops through the electrohydrodynamic atomization process. The atomization mode depended on flow rate and DC voltage input. For water, having electric conductivity larger than 10(sup)-7S/m, the spindle mode turned out to be the only mode to generate uniform-size drops within the range of 30-450 microns that have wide applications. Within this mode, both the uniformity and the fineness of drops were improved at an optimum voltage input for a given flow rate. This optimum voltage increased with increasing of the liquid flow rate. Another important parameter considered was the nozzle material with different electric conductivity and liquid wettability. A stainless-steel nozzle (the material with high electric conductivity and high liquid wettability) and a silica nozzle (the electrically non-conducting material with low liquid wettability) were tested and compared; and more uniform drops could be obtained with the silica nozzle.

지금까지 인젝터의 수치적 시뮬레이션은 대부분 Eulerian 기법의 바탕위에서 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 액체제트의 미립화현상과 복잡한 공기와의 경계면 변화를 나타내는데 있어 기존의 기법들이 갖는 선천적인 단점이 존재하며 따라서 본 연구에서는 새로운 Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH)라는 입자 기법을 도입하였다. 수치적 시뮬레이션을 위해 먼저 해석을 위한 SPH 코드를 개발하였으며 본 논문에서는 인젝터 문제를 정확하게 나타내는데 있어 필수적인 알고리즘중 하나인 다상유동모사에 대한 검증문제가 제시 되어 있다. 마지막으로 다양한 인젝터 종류 중 하나인 액체-액체 동축형 스월 인젝터에 대한 시뮬레이션이 수행되었으며 실제실험과의 비교를 진행하였다.

This study was performed to explore the liquid breakup and atomization characteristics for the classification of drop formation mode and background of uniform droplets generation in electrohydrodynmaic atomization according to the change of experimental parameters such as nozzle material (stainless steel. teflon). fluid flow rate, applied electrical field and intensity, and frequency. In results, from the classification map of drop formation modes according to the variation of applied AC voltage and frequency at a stainless nozzle, the droplet size was smaller than the outer diameter of the nozzle tip relatively in the spindle mode. The transition points became clearly to be moved toward the high applied voltage by rising the applied AC frequency beyond 450Hz. Also the droplet radius can be observed quite small in the frequency bandwidth of $350{\sim}450Hz$. The droplet radiuses decrease as the applied voltage increases for a fixed applied AC frequency within the range from 50Hz to 400Hz Over 400Hz, the relation between the power intensity and the droplet size was not consistent with a continuous mechanism of liquid breakup. Thus, it is showed that the droplet size distribution using the teflon nozzle was analogous to the results of stainless steel, but the droplet size was bigger than that of stainless steel relatively in case of a teflon nozzle.

가스메탄과 액체산소를 추진제로 사용하는 스월 동축형 인젝터에서 리세스 길이 변화에 따른 분무특성 및 미립화 특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 패터네이터를 이용하여 분산각 및 분무의 질량분포를 측정하였으며, 미립화 특성을 살펴보기 위해 GSV(Global Size and Velocity)를 이용하여 평균액적크기를 측정하였다. 결과적으로 액체만 분사한 경우 리세스 길이가 증가함에 따라 분산각은 감소하나 미립화 특성이 좋아지는 것을 확인하였고, 기체/액체를 동시 분사한 경우 액체만 분사한 경우에 비해 분산각은 작아지나 미립화 특성이 좋아지는 것을 확인하였다.

When the water jets heated up to the saturation temperature at a high line pressure are sprayed into a reduced (atmospheric) pressure through an air-assisted nozzle, the jets experience sudden exposure into a reduced pressure, get superheated and produce steam bubbles while atomization processes of jets are taking place. This process is called flash atomization. In this study the flash atomization of superheated water jets assisted by air has been studied. Sprays with flash atomization have been photographed at various water and air flow rates and water superheats. It has been found that the spray angle with flash atomization increases with water superheat and water flow rate but decreases with air flow rate. The degree of change of spray angle has been analyzed and correlated as a function of superheat, air and water flow rates.
