In this study, the thickness of the liquid sheet formed by two low speed impinging jets was measured by the direct contact method. The effects of jet velocity and liquid viscosity on the thickness were analyzed and the results were compared with theoretical modeling and optical thickness measurement results. The liquid film thickness decreased as the radius and circumferential angle increased. The jet velocity did not affect the liquid film thickness as predicted in theoretical modeling. In the theoretical modeling, there was no influence of the fluid properties on thickness, but in the case of low viscosity liquids, the thickness was predicted high, and it was well matched in high viscosity liquids. The direct measurement results showed no significant difference from the optical measurement results, thus confirming the reliability of the optical measurement method.

기존의 이론적 연구와 실험적 연구를 바탕으로 충돌 제트의 수치 모델을 개발하였다. 본 모델은 like-doublet 충돌제트로부터 생성되는 액적의 모든 특성을 액막이 분열되는 시점에서 결정한다. 액적 특성을 결정하기 위해 이론적 연구로부터 얻어진 액막 두께, 액주의 직경, 액적 크기와 실험적 연구로부터 얻어진 액막/액적 속도, 액막 분열 거리, 분열 주파수, 액적 질량 유량 분포를 이용하였다. 액적의 질량 유량 분포는 Laplace 분포로부터 표준 편차를 이용하여 모사하였다. 또한 실험 결과를 이용하여 액막 분열 거리, 분열 주기, 표준 편차에 대한 경험식을 유도하였다. 개발된 모델은 정성적인 분무 패턴뿐만 아니라 정량적인 SMD 및 질량 유량 분포에서 실험 결과와 잘 일치한다.

로켓의 추진제에는 고체 추진제와 액체 추진제를 사용하는 두 경우로 나눌 수 있는데, 액체 추진제를 사용하는 경우, 액체 연료와 액체 산화제를 다양한 방법으로 연소실내로 분사하게 된다. 이때 사용되는 injector들 중에 impingement type이 있다. 이 type은 injector의 가공이 비교적 용이하고, 혼합성능이 좋기 때문에 LOX/RP-1(Kerosin-based hydrocarbon fuel)을 사용하는 액체 로켓엔진에서 주로 사용되어 왔다. 두 액체 jet의 충돌에 의해 액막이 형성되는데, 이 액막은 가장자리로 갈수록 두께가 얇아지며 액막표면의 파는 충돌점으로부터 멀어질수록 그 진폭의 증가를 이루어 액체의 표면장력과 관성력의 균형을 깨트리며, 이 순간 액막은 rim의 형태로 분열하여 결국에는 액적을 생성하게 된다. 현재까지의 연구내용은 충돌 jet의 형태 laminar jet과 turbulent jet으로 구분된 인젝트에 관해 연구되어왔고, 특히 국내에는 이러한 구분된 충돌 jet의 분열현상에 관한 연구결과가 미흡하다. 동일한 오르피스의 경우에도 laminar jet과 turbulent jet으로 구분되어 지며, 각각의 jet의 형태에 따라 생성되는 액막의 형상 또는 다르게 생성되어 진다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 두 구분된 jet의 경우의 분열현상을 실험적으로 분석하였다.

The liquid film thickness inside a pressure-swirl nozzle was measured, and then the measured liquid film thickness was compared with the results from previous empirical equations. The liquid film inside the nozzle was visualized using extended transparent nozzles and a microscopic imaging system, and then the measurement error was evaluated using optical geometry analysis. The high injection pressures up to 7MPa were adopted to simulate the injection conditions of the direct-injection spark-ignition engines. The totally different two injectors with different fuels, nozzle lengths, nozzle diameters and swirlers were utilized to obtain the comprehensive equations. The results showed that the liquid film thickness very slightly decreased at high injection pressures and the empirical equations overestimated the effect of injection pressure. Most of empirical equations did not include the effect of nozzle length and swirler angle, although it caused significant change in liquid film thickness. A new empirical equation was suggested based on the experimental results with the effects of fuel properties, injection pressure, nozzle diameter, nozzle length and swirler angle.

In this research, a study on the characteristics of the liquid sheet formed by two impinging jets is presented. Using the interference phenomena of light, the thickness of the liquid sheet, which seems to heavily affect the size of the droplets, is measured and compared with existing theoretical modelings. Thinner liquid sheet is produced with larger impinging angle, smaller orifice diameter, and higher azimuthal angle but the jet velocity doesn't affect the thickness. More viscous liquid produces thicker liquid sheet. The theoretical modelings predict the same trend as the experiments but the thickness values are overestimated at low azimuthal angles. This difference is gradually decreased as the azimuthal angle is increased: The breakup mechanism of the droplets from the liquid sheet is visualized by a high speed camera. The crest around the edge of the liquid sheet is protruded with the accumulation of liquid at the end of protuberance, which contracts into a spherical shape and then becomes detached when the stem breaks down, producing large droplets with a few small size of satellites.

회전 히트파이프의 열 전달 특성은 내부 관벽에 형성되는 응축 액막 두께와 증발부로 귀한되는 응축액의 유동율에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구는 축 방향으로 그루브(groove)를 갖는 회전 히트파이프의 열 전달 성능에 대한 실험 연구로써, 그루브에 의한 효과를 파악하기 위해 2종류의 히트파이프를 제작하고 작동성은 시험을 수행하였다. 회전 히트파이프가 작동시, 원심력에 의해 그루브로 응축액의 유동을 촉진시키며, 따라서 응축부 벽면에 형성되는 액막 두께가 얇게 된다. 응축부에 그루브를 갖는 히트파이프의 열전달 계수는 풀 유동에서 2000~4000W/$m^2$$^{0}$ C, 환상 유동 영역에서 1500~2500W/$m^2$$^{0}$ C로써, 전체 원형단면을 갖는 히트파이프와 비교하여 약 1.5배 정도의 열저달 향상을 볼 수 있었으며, 열전달 한계는 약 40% 정도 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, the thickness of the liquid sheet formed by a low speed impinging jet onto a wall was measured by the direct contact method. The spatial distribution characteristics of the sheet thickness in the radial and circumferential directions, and the effects of jet velocity and liquid viscosity were analyzed. The measurement results were compared with the theoretical predictions for two impinging jets. The wavy surface was observed for low viscosity water, but not for high viscosity glycerol solutions. The sheet thickness decreased as the circumferential angle or the distance from the impinging point increased. The sheet thickness increased as the liquid viscosity increased. Comparison with the theoretical predictions showed some differences from the measurement results.

Spray cooling is a method of cooling high-temperature heating elements by spraying droplets. Recently, spray cooling has been proposed for use in next-generation nuclear reactors. When droplets are sprayed onto the outer wall of a heat exchanger tube, a film boiling occurs on the outer wall. Over time, the outer wall temperature decreases, and a liquid film forms on the outer wall, and the heat exchanger outer wall is subsequently cooled by the liquid film. In this case, the liquid film thickness has a great influence on the heat removal performance. In this study, an experimental study was conducted to measure the liquid film thickness distribution in a droplet spray environment. For this purpose, a method using the electrical conductivity of the liquid was adopted.

In the micro turbojet engine less than 350kw power class, it is not easy to find out the good atomization fuel injector with good spray quality. However conceptually, rotating fuel injection system can give high atomization quality by only the centrifugal force of a high speed rotating shaft of the engine without high-pressure fuel pump. With this motivation, we manufactured very small rotating fuel injector of 40 mm diameter and performed under a variety of injection orifices. We measured droplet size, velocity and spray distribution by the PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) system. Also spray was visualized by using high speed camera. From the test results, we could understand that the length of liquid column from the injection orifice is mainly controlled by the rotational speeds. Furthermore, droplet size(SMD) is decreased with the rotational speeds and is influenced by the diameter of the injection orifice and liquid film thickness.
