This paper describes the theoretical analysis of a diffraction pattern analyzer for the characterization of microscale object fields and a method for obtaining size and size distribution from the measured diffraction pattern of the object fields. For the experimental verification, a typical optical Fourier transform system was set up and calibrated with 2 5$\mu \textrm m$ and 50$\mu \textrm m$ pinholes. The system responses to distilled water droplets, alcohol, glycerin and silicon oil were imaged with vidicon, and the image was processed to determine the size distribution of each liquid particle field. The energy distribution function which is defined as the total intensity of a circular ring in the diffraction pattern was used to determine the dominant particle size of each liquid particle field.

Water mist fire suppression system is environmental system and needs a flange pump to jet water. In this research, high pressure Nitrogen cylinder is used as a pressurizing source instead of flange pump, and also we tried to find the possibility of using compressed Nitrogen as a fire suppression agent. As a result, it was possible to design water mist fire suppression system with Nitrogen cylinder and suppress oil fire effectively. With DK1.58 nozzle, the optimum Nitrogen pressure was 80bar and the pressure was stable during water mist spray. However, jet of Nitrogen was not effective fire suppression agent when it was dually used with water mist because water mist has blown away, and it is efficient way to use compressed Nitrogen as a pressurizing source only.

This study contemplated the descending air current from the smoke layers related to the smoke logging phenomenon in the Water Mist applied design for effective evacuation safety design. As a result, database on the average particle diameter, particle velocity and distribution of sprinkling was obtained and the relationship between the water amount and particle diameter was obtained. Also Descending smoke velocity was significantly faster to 9.8m/s, it is determined that appeared rapidly by a high water pressure.

The objective of this study is to simulate the etching characteristics with oscillation angle for the optimization of etching system. The etching characteristics were analyzed under different etching conditions. The spray characteristics were measured by Phase Doppler Anemometer (PDA). The correlation between the spray characteristics and the etching characteristics was investigated and used for fundamental data to simulate the etching characteristics with oscillation angle. The smaller coefficient of variation, the more uniform etching characteristic distribution became. It was found that numerical predictions of etching factor generally agreed well with the measured results with distance from nozzle tip. Oscillation leads to decrease of etching factor and increase of uniformity.

The holographic velocimetry system has a significant potential for the measurements of three dimensional velocities of particles. In this study, orthogonal two-side holography system was developed to obtain three dimensional velocities and sizes of spray droplets. To get high quality of reconstructed images, singe-exposure holography at two time moments and two orthogonal sides was adopted instead of multi-exposure, single-side holography. From three dimensional positions of droplets determined by reconstruction and image processing system, the three dimensional velocities and sizes of each droplet was extracted using the PTV algorithm. To determine the position of particles in the optical axis, a new focusing parameter was introduced based on the correlation between two droplet images at the same distance. The measured results by holography system were compared with those by the PDPA.

연구소기내에서 원활한 연소를 위하여 액체의 균일하고 완전한 미소분열 문제는 매우 중요한 연구분야라 할 수 있으며, 특히 항공기용 가스터빈 연소기에 사용되는 분사 시스템의 설계시에는 단순한 미소분열 문제뿐 아니라 시동성 향상, 화염의 안정화, 공해물질의 저감 등은 물론 압력 차가 작고 유량범위가 넓으며 공기를 이용한 미립화(Atomization)의 효율이 낮은 영역, 즉, 시동(Start-up) 및 플레임 아웃(Flame-out)근처의 영역에서도 효율적인 미립화가 이루어지도록 고려되어져야 한다.

In order to take a good look at effectiveness of cooling of Fog system and Pad-Fan system, we chose 49 farm households which were installed evaporative cooling system and 2 farm households which were installed Pad-Fan system and Fog system for a test. We execute the test on 29 households out of 49.6 households, which were installed Pad-Fan system, were able to use; however, 6 household out of 9 which were installed Fog system couldn't use it. The main reason was the clogged on nozzle. The cooling efficiency on Pad-Fan system was 77.4%, but it was very poor on Fog system. Since there are many problems on Fog system, we need more research on size of fog, the location of nozzle, control of Fog systems.

A water mist system was considered as a possible alternative to a gaseous suppression system that can not prevent re-ignition after fire extinguishment for a power transformer room. This study deals with the fire suppression capability of the water mist systems. High-and low-pressure water mist systems were examined to compare efficiency of both systems. The power transformer examined in this study occupied about $7\%$ of a $10m\times10m\times$ transformer room. Full-scale suppression tests were performed for six different fire scenarios: two spray fires, three pool fires and one cascade fire. The fire suppression test results demonstrated that the high-pressure system was superior to the low-pressure system, especially considering oxygen depletion and the ambient temperature distribution.

This study evaluates the performance of the packed bed scrubber and proposes the optimization of spray system for improvements of collection efficiency. The packed bed scrubber is used primarily in the semiconductor manufacturing process. The mean diameter of entering solid particles in scrubber is the submicron. The impaction between water droplets and solid particles is an important factor in removing the solid particles. Thus, the coverage area of spray system influences on the collection efficiency. The collection efficiency of a single droplet is calculated through the mathematical model and numerical calculations are performed for coverage area for each nozzle type (Droplet diameters: 500, 319.5, $289.5{\mu}m$) and injected directions (0, 15, $30^{\circ}$). In case of nozzle type 3, the collection efficiency of a single droplet is highest but the collection efficiency of spray system has lowest value because the ratio of flow rate between the gas and water is below 0.1. The results show the coverage area ratio is about 85% in the case of nozzle type 3 and downward sirection $15^{\circ}$. It was shown that a coverage area increase by two times than an existing spray system. In simulation of demister, collection efficiency by demister is predicted about 80% and the pressure drop in demister is below 3.5 Pa.

Ultrasonic mist fogger and the fan were used for investigating the availability of fog circulation system in greenwall and the potential growing ability of the plant. The mist caused by ultrasonic mist fogger was circulated by the fan through the pipeline and supplied to the pots containing plants. Moisture content of the 3 different soils was measured at different irrigation time points. The moisture content of 15-26% in PP and Co soil was maintained at irrigation of 24H, 18H, 12H in a day. Proper growth condition was found in Ardisia pusilla and Hosta plantaginea at the height of L level after 1 month of growth when the plants were irrigated by the fog circulation system. The results suggest that the fog circulation, by ultrasonic mist fogger to the green walls is system of choice for suppling moisture to plants.
