The Y-jet nozzle has benefits such as simple design and wide operating conditions. Because of these benefits, it is used in various combustion devices including industrial boilers. The most important variables in the design of the Y-jet nozzle are the mixing chamber length, the supply diameter of the liquid fuel and gas, and the exit orifice diameter. In addition, because of the use of a twin-fluid, optimized data is required depending on the spray condition. In this study, spray experiment was carried out under the pressure condition of 7 bar or more, which is the spraying condition used in industry. There was no change in flow rate with the length of the Y-jet nozzle mixing chamber, but the difference in SMD was confirmed. Adjusting the exit orifice diameter is most important to achieve the desired flow rate. Changes in the liquid and gas inlet port diameters ratio were found to be help improve the operating range and significant difference in SMD was observed.

The purpose of the Monte Carlo simulation study was to provide the optimized nozzle design to satisfy the beam conditions for biomedical researches in the Korean heavy-ion accelerator, RAON. The nozzle design was required to produce $C^{12}$ beam satisfying the three conditions; the maximum field size, the dose uniformity and the beam contamination. We employed the GEANT4 toolkit in Monte Carlo simulation to optimize the nozzle design. The beams for biomedical researches were required that the maximum field size should be more than $15{\times}15cm^2$, the dose uniformity was to be less than 3% and the level of beam contamination due to the scattered radiation from collimation systems was less than 5% of total dose. For the field size, we optimized the tilting angle of the circularly rotating beam controlled by a pair of dipole magnets at the most upstream of the user beam line unit and the thickness of the scatter plate located downstream of the dipole magnets. The values of beam scanning angle and the thickness of the scatter plate could be successfully optimized to be $0.5^{\circ}$ and 0.05 cm via this Monte Carlo simulation analysis. For the dose uniformity and the beam contamination, we introduced the new beam configuration technique by the combination of scanning and static beams. With the combination of a central static beam and a circularly rotating beam with the tilting angle of $0.5^{\circ}$ to beam axis, the dose uniformity could be established to be 1.1% in $15{\times}15cm^2$ sized maximum field. For the beam contamination, it was determined by the ratio of the absorbed doses delivered by $C^{12}$ ion and other particles. The level of the beam contamination could be achieved to be less than 2.5% of total dose in the region from 5 cm to 17 cm water equivalent depth in the combined beam configuration. Based on the results, we could establish the optimized nozzle design satisfying the beam conditions which were required for biomedical researches.

In this study, a liquid sheet type co-axial nozzle has been used to investigate the turbulent atomization characteristics which could result in the experimental data to be used in designing a jet nozzle with high performance. Image processing technique and immersion sampling method were employed to measure droplet size. In atomizing characteristics, droplet size distributions and absolute droplet sizes, SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) have been investigated in the wide ranges of flow field depending upon the air-water mass ratios. And the comparisons between the present data and the semi-empirical curves have been conducted semi-empirical correlation for SMD has been derived in the present analysis.

2차 유동 분사에 의한 추력 방향 제어 방법은 기존의 기계적인 장치를 이용한 방향제어 방법에 비해 부가적인 복잡한 기계적 작동장치와 이에 따른 무게의 증가를 배제할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 전산 유동해석을 이용하여 2차원 초음속 수축-행창 노즐 유동에 2차 유동을 분사하여, 2차 유동의 분사우치 및 분사 유량 및 분사 각도 등이 추력의 방향 및 크기에 미치는 영향을 밝혀 이들 상호간의 상관관계를 구하여 추력 방향 제어를 위한 최적의 2차 분사 조건을 제시하였다. 유동 해석 견과 2차 유동의 분사 위치는 생성된 경사 충격파가 노즐 출구까지 분포되는 지점이 최대 전향각과 횡추력을 가지는 분사 위치임을 알 수 있었다

Recently, experimental visualization of microscale fluid transport has attacted considerable attention in designing microelectromechanical systems. Fluid-surface interactions on hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces can play a key role in passively controlling microfluidics. Here we investigate the slip boundary condition depending on the surface characteristics; hydrophilic, hydrophobic wettabilities. Using the micro-PIV, velocity profiles are measured in the glass (hydrophilic), PDMS (hydrophobic) microchannels.

2차 유동 분사에 의한 추력 방향 제어 방법은 복잡한 기계적 작동장치와 이에 따른 무게의 증가를 배제할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 유동 해석을 통하여 2차원 및 3차원 초음속 수축-팽창 노즐 유동에 2차 유동을 분사하여, 2차 유동의 분사 위치, 분사 유량 및 분사 각도 등이 추력의 방향 및 크기에 미치는 영향을 밝혀 추력 방향 제어를 위한 최적의 2차 분사 조건을 제시하였다. 유동 해석 결과 2차 유동의 분사 위치는 생성된 경가 충격파가 노즐 출구까지 분포되는 지점이 최대 전향각과 횡추력을 가지는 분사위치임을 알 수 있었고, 분사 각도는 주 유동의 역방향으로 분사하는 것이 수직방향으로 분사하는 것보다 더 큰 전향각을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 2차원의 경우보다 3차원 유동에서 큰 전향각이 생김을 알 수 있었다.

고체로켓추진기관의 추력조절을 위해 핀틀 기술이 사용된다. 아직까지 핀틀 유동에 대해 근본적인 물리적 이해를 돕는 연구가 공개되지 않아, 이 연구에서 다양한 형상의 needle형 핀틀에 따른 유동구조에 대한 수치적 연구를 진행하였다. 2차원 축대칭, 압축성을 고려하여, 상용 열유체 해석 프로그램인 FLUENT 6.2를 사용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 난류 모델을 검증하기 위해 기 수행된 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 핀틀 각도(tip angle)가 작아질수록 노즐에서 유동 박리점이 하류로 이동하며, 핀틀에서 발생하는 끝단 충격파가 약해진다. 핀틀 반경(tip radius)이 작아질수록 핀틀에서 발생하는 끝단 충격파가 하류로 이동하며, 크기는 약해진다. 핀틀 형상(contour)은 유동 박리 지점에 직접적인 영향을 미친다.

An experimental study has been conducted to analyze the operating forces on a partially admitted turbine blade 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 rotational force and axial force on the blade were measured at steady state by moving the blade to the rotational direction. The operating forces were measured at three different nozzle install 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 maximum rotational force was increased when the solidity was decreased and the nozzle install angle was decreased. The axial force was increased by decreasing the nozzle install angle. The reverse axial force was obtained in the partially admitted region when the nozzle install angle was increased to $72^{\circ}$.

The trend of miniaturization has been applied to the research on micro rockets resulting in prototype rockets fabricated by MEMS processes. In this paper, the development of three-dimensional micro rockets using micro milling as well as the results of combustion and flight tests are discussed. The body of rocket was made of 6061 aluminum cylinder. The three-dimensional micro nozzles were fabricated on brass by micro endmill with 127${\mu}m$ diameter. Two different micro nozzles were fabricated, one with 1.0mm of throat diameter and the other with 0.5mm. The total mass of rocket was 7.32g and that of propellant was 0.65g. The thrust-to-weight ratio was between 1.58 and 1.74, and the flight test with 45 degree launch angle form the ground resulted in 46m-53m of horizontal flight distance
