The flow characteristics of an intermittent fuel injection into a stationary ambient air were investigated using gasoline. The measurements were made by two-channel, air cooling type Phase Doppler Anemometer(PDA) system (DANTEC, 750 MW). And a pintle type injector of MPI (Multi-point Port Injection) system was utilized as a fuel injector. The PDA receiver optic was set up in a 60.deg. C forward scatter arrangement to obtain the optimum scattering signal of fuel droplets. The data were obtained by synchronizing PDA system with the fuel injection period, and the axial and radial velocity and turbulent components of fuel droplets were mainly measured for the analysis of temporal and spatial distribution depending upon the fuel injection pressures.

In solid rockets, a pintle thruster is a modulatable thrust device which controlls nozzle throat area. In this study, effect of bore on aerodynamic loads in a SNECMA modulatable thruster was carried out. Existence of bore resulted in reduced aerodynamic load.

Numerical simulation was carried out for the SNECMA modulatable thrust devices, with four different nozzle contraction angle $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $83^{\circ}$, and $90^{\circ}$, respectively. Results show that $83^{\circ}$ nozzle contraction is better in that it comes up with good thrust level with small aerodynamic load.

This experimental study is to investigate the intermittent spray characteristics of a pintle nozzle. High speed camera used in this expreiment with 9000fps. The factor, which controls the diesel spray, is the Injection pressure, ambient pressure and ambient temperature. In this paper, experiments were conducted free spray for the ambient pressure(3, 4, 5Mpa), nozzle Injection pressure(10, 14, 18MPa) and ambient temperature(293, 473K). With the higher opening pressure, the spray tip velocity and spray penetration increases while the spray angle decreases, On the other hand, With the higher ambient pressure, the spray angle increase while the spray tip penetration and spray tip velocity decrease. also, With the higher ambient temperature, the spray penetration decrease while the spray angle decrease.

The experimental study, using constant pressure injection system, is carried out to investigate the effect of the geometrical shape changes of the needle valve of the effective flow area, the spray angle and the Sauter's Mean Diameter according to needle valve lift for a pintle-type injection nozzle. The results are as follows: 1) With the increase of the needle valve lift, the effective flow area is increased, the spray angle is at first increased and later decreased, and the Sauter's Mean Diameter is decreased. 2) It is also shown that the spray angle is maximum at the rapidly increased region of the effective flow area.

This paper describes the fuel spray characteristics of gasoline port injectors such as the breakup procedures of liquid fuel, breakup and extinction behaviors of fuel spray at nozzle tip, time history of SMD and velocity distribution of fuel spray in the direction of fuel stream. Pintle-type gasoline fuel injector was used to analyze mentioned spray characteristics. In order to visualize the fuel spray behaviors and to measure the droplet mean diameter and velocities of spray droplets, the Schlieren method, digital image processing and auto-correlation PIV were applied in this study. In addition, the spray characteristics according to the variation of time were considered. The results of fuel spray show that the liquid sheet breakup starts at 10mm downstream actively. The flying time is approximately 4msec between 50mm and 80mm down the nozzle tip. Also, SMD of fuel spray, the number of droplets and fuel velocity distribution at each point of downstream are discussed.

An experiment was conducted to figure out the atomization characteristics of a highly viscous biodiesel fuel with rice-barn oil applying and ultrasonic energy into it. A spray simulator for the droplet atomization, an ultrasonic system, and six different nozzles(3 pintle-type nozzles and 3 single hole-type nozzles) were made. To investigate effects of ultrasonic energy in a highly viscous liquid fuel, an immersion liquid method was used as a measurement method on droplet size distributions. It was found that the ultrasonic energy was effective for the atomization improvement of the rice-bran oil as a highly viscous biodiesel fuel and the factor나 such as the nozzle opening pressure, pin-edge angles, hole diameters, and collection distances affected the atomization of spray droplets.

Robust thrust distribution method of solid DACS is researched. For the case of the system which has higher number of actuation nozzles than the degree of freedom of thrust to be controlled, the robust thrust allocation law which accommodate the abnormal operation is suggested. Assuming the situation that some nozzles are uncontrollable, the error between nozzle throat area command and response can be calculated. The error is used for realtime reshaping of weighting matrix. From the weighting effect, the nozzle which operated abnormally has low responsibility for the command then, the thrust error is reduced. The suggested algorithm is verified by the simulation of abnormal operation condition of DCS and ACS nozzle respectively.

The characteristics of fuel spray influence on the engine performances such as power, fuel economy and emissions. therefore, the measurement of fuel spray characteristics is very important for the improvement of heat engine. The factor which controls the fuel spray is injection pressure, ambient pressure, engine speed et al.. In :his study, We measured spray angle, spray penetration and spray tip velocity considering injection pressure(10,14㎫), ambient pressure(3,4,5㎫), fuel pump speed(500,700,900rpm) in the high temperature and pressure chamber. Experimental results are summarized as follows: 1) Injection pressure influence on the characteristics of spray namely As Injection pressure Is increased, spray angle is decreased but spray penetration and spray tip velocity is increased. 2) Spray angle, spray penetration is increased by increasing the fuel pump speed. 3) Ambient pressure plays an important role in spray characteristics.
