In this study, the spray characteristics of a pressure swirl atomizer classified into a liquid sheet-type swirl nozzle for Urea-SCR system were investigated experimentally with the variation of injection pressure. The length to diameter ratio ($l_o/d$) of the nozzle was 3.1, and the swirler was set inside the nozzle tip to give injecting fluid angular momentum. The injection duration of the nozzle was controlled by PWM (pulse width modulation) modes. The development processes of the spray were imaged by a 2-D PIV system, and the change of spray angle was measured. The atomization characteristics, including axial velocity and SMD, were measured using a 2-D PDA system with the injection pressures at room temperature and ambient pressure conditions. As the experimental results, the injection pressure had a significant impact on the spray structure showing a different shape around the spray leading edge, and the smaller SMD was observed with increasing injection pressures, which was similar to that of the previous work.

The seawater cooling system of naval ships is installed to remove the toxic substances generated by CBR (Chemical, Biological, and Radiological) warfare and reduce the infrared signature of naval ships from outside the hull. The dispersion range of the nozzle is determined according to the injection pressure of seawater and the nozzle type. Therefore, it is necessary to select the appropriate injection pressure and design the optimal nozzles to increase the seawater dispersion area and maximize the efficiency of the cooling system. In this study, the applying feasibility of 3D printing technology to produce an injection nozzle for the seawater cooling system was examined. To this end, the extruded plastic specimens were fabricated by 3D printing, and the physical properties of the specimens were estimated through tensile testing. After this, the strain and stress of the nozzle as a function of the pressure were simulated by applying the estimated results to the finite element analysis. The finite element analysis results showed that the nozzle remained within the elastic range at the optimal pressure. The nozzle was estimated to be structurally stable, and the possibility of this study was confirmed.

The fire extinguishing performance of hybrid nozzle systems is improved by injecting an extinguishing agent concentrically into the target site and, in this study, water mist is used as a water curtain to confine the droplets of the agent. In this study, we numerically investigated the effect of the foundation angle and injection pressure on the performance of a hybrid nozzle by evaluating the mean radius of the volume fractions of the agent and water mists. An experiment involving a water mist nozzle was carried out to validate the numerical method and then the droplet behaviors, e.g., stochastic collision, coalescence and breakup, were calculated with 2-way interaction Discrete Particle Modeling (DPM) in the steady state for the hybrid nozzle system. The mean radius of the water mists increased by about 40 %, whereas that of the agent decreased by about 21 %, when the injection pressure was increased from 30 bar to 60 bar. In addition, the mean radius of the agent increased by about 24 % as the foundation angle of the hybrid nozzle head increased from $30^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$. As a result, it can be inferred that the injection angle and pressure are important factors for hybrid water mist designs.

In this study, the distribution of surface pressure was measured in a steady state on a turbine blade which was moved the injected region and receded the stagnation region using a linear cascade apparatus. Axial-type blades were used and the blade chord was 200mm. The rectangular nozzle was applied and its size was $200mm{\times}200mm$. The experiment was done at $3{\times}10^5$ of Reynolds number based on the chord. The surface pressures on the blade were measured at three different nozzle angles of $58^{\circ}$, $65^{\circ}$ and $72^{\circ}$ for off-design performance test. In addition, three different solidities of 1.25, 1.38 and 1.67 were applied. From the results, the low solidity caused the low pressure on the blade suction surface at entering region and the reverse rotating force was generated at the low nozzle angle. The positive incidence also made the pressure lower on the suction surface at entering region.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the injection characteristics of non-circular effervescent type twin-fluid nozzles. For this purpose, two types of non-circular nozzles (E1, E2) and one kind of circular nozzle (C) were used. At this time, the Aerorator mounted on the nozzle used three different diameters to match the aspect ratio with the nozzle exit area. Therefore, experiments were performed according to three aspect ratios for each nozzle, and a total experiments were conducted. Experiments were carried out by controlling the amount of air flowing after fixing the flow rate of the liquid, and the nozzle internal pressure and SMD were measured, and the jet image was taken from the nozzle. The discharge coefficients of the three kinds of nozzles were compared with the conventional equation and the Jedelsky's equation, and the Jedelsky's equation was found to be about 4 times larger. The droplet size (SMD) injected from the nozzle was found to be smaller in the non-circular shape than in the circular shape, which is expected to be caused by the difference of the discharge coefficient values.

Emission regulations have been strengthened step by step for marine engines. A noble measure is required both inside and outside of the combustion chamber. The combustion characteristics in cylinder have a very close relationship with the exhaust emission characteristics. Injection valve and nozzle hole geometry is an important factor for combustion. The study to improve the spray characteristics has concentrated on nozzle inlet geometry and nozzle hole diameter, but the exit geometry has not considered. In this study the nozzle exit angle variation was tested. The results show that the angle between $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ is more effective than the other cases.

노즐에서 분사되는 제트의 거동에 대해 전반적으로 고찰해보고, 실제 후판의 레이저 절단성 실험 을 통해 노즐의 영향 및 혼합가스의 절단면 질 향상효과 등을 살펴보았다. 간략히 요약하면 다음 과 같다. 아음속제트는 노즐압력을 증가함에 따라 절단압력도 증가하지만 노즐과 재료사이의 거 리를 가능한 작게 유지하여야 하는 제약이 있다. 따라서 사용중에 손상이 가기 쉽다. 이를 해결하 고자 초음속제트의 사용이 연구되고 있지만 shock의 형성으로 인해 노즐압과 절단압은 매우 비선 형적인 관계를 갖는다. 따라서 (i)고압에서도 MSD가 형성되지 않고 주기적인 압력 재상승이 나 타나도록 하거나, (ii)Laval노즐을 이용해 shock구조가 형성되지 않고 큰 절단거리를 얻도록 하는 방법이 제시되고 있다. 초음속노즐의 후판 절단 적용 가능성을 분석해 본 결과 유동 박리 현상으 로 인해 후판보다는 박판의 향상을 위해서는 적절한 조성의 혼합가스를 사용하는 것이 아주 효과 적이었으며, 보조 가수 제트를 채용해 slag제거를 효율적으로 수행 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A simplified experiment was performed to figure out the atomization characteristics of highly viscous liquid of rice-bran oil by applying ultrasonic energy to improve the atomization of spray droplets. A spray system, an ultrasonic system, and three kinds of pintle-type nozzles(pin-edge angle: 5 , 10 , 15 ) were manufactured. To investigate the effects of ultrasonic energy on the atomization of a highly viscous liquid, a phase doppler particle analyzer was used for the measurement and calculation of spray droplets data. Nozzle opening pressures were chosen of 3 levels, i.e, 10, 13, 16 MPa. As a result, it could be concluded that the ultrasonic energy was effective to improve the spray atomization when applied to the fuel by means of 3 different nozzles because of the effects of the liquid fuel cavitation and relaxation between molecules caused by ultrasonic energy. The improvement rate of the spray atomization by the ultrasonic spray atomization by the ultrasonic spray compared with the conventional spray was about 10% increase in the case of pintle type nozzles. With the increase of pin-edge angles the distribution lines by nozzle opening pressures are declined for both conventional and ultrasonic sprays. This means that the increase of the pin-edge angle improves the atomization of sprays.

In this study, the correlations between flow rate, exhaust pressure, and droplet mean diameter with the shape factor of a water curtain nozzle were investigated. To analyze the flow coefficient and the distribution constant on the effects of the hydraulic diameter, five nozzles (D5W3, D5W6, D5W8, D4W6, and D7W6) were mocked up with a consideration of the internal diameter and width. The results showed that the flow coefficient increased in proportion to the constant 0.79 and 62.8 of the hydraulic diameters according to the diameter. As the nozzle width increased, the average droplet size decreased to the -0.235 exponential of the pressure. The average volume was reduced, in which the size distribution of the volume indeterminate decreased with increasing pressure for the same nozzle of the water-curtain. The distribution constants of droplet increased in proportion to the 0.258 exponential of the hydraulic diameter and 244.21. These results are expected to be useful to the design of pressure, flow meter, and average droplet size from a water curtain nozzle to predict the flow characteristics.
