PLLIF(Planar Laser Liquid Induced Fluorescence) 기법은 분무장을 교란시키지 않고 고해상도의 2차원 질량분포를 빠르게 측정할 수 있기 때문에 기존의 기계적인 분무 분포 측정방법의 한계를 극복하였을 뿐만 아니라 접근이 불가능하였던 인젝터 근방의 분무에 대한 중요한 정보를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 레이저 광을 받은 액적에 의한 산란광의 강도가 클 경우에는 인접한 액적들을 형광시킬 수 있고 액적의 형광신호가 액적들을 통과하면서 감쇠되는 이차산란에 의한 오차는 PLLIF 기법의 정량화에 가장 큰 난점으로 인식되고 있다. 특히 이러한 현상은 분무 분포의 밀도가 높고 액적의 크기가 클수록 강하게 나타나는데, 액체로켓에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 like-doublet 인젝터는 이러한 분무 특성을 갖는다. 따라서 Mechanical Patternator 및 PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer)로부터 측정한 like-doublet 인젝터의 분무 질량 분포 결과와 비교하여 이차산란에 의한 오차를 파악하여 PLLIF 기법의 적용 가능성을 진단하였다.

A drop-on-demand inkjet is used widely for various applications. Therefore, it is important to understand the jetting behavior of the drop from the piezo inkjet. In this study, to predict the jetting behavior, VOF (Volume-of-Fluid) simulation techniques were used and compared with the experimental results. The experimentally measured meniscus movement was used as the input data for the simulation. To verify the simulation, the measured jetting behavior of the mixture fluids of ethylene glycol and IPA (isopropyl alcohol), which has a mixing ratio of 50:50, was used. The numerical simulation of the drop formation using various mixture ratios and its comparison with the measured drop formation confirmed that the proposed method can predict the actual jetting. On the other hand, the satellite drop behavior showed slight differences because the small sized droplet is subject to a more aerodynamic effect during flight because the kinetic energy of the satellite droplet is far smaller than that of the main droplet.

Electrostatic precipitator is widely used to remove particulate matters in indoor air and industrial flue gas due to low pressure drop and high collection efficiency. However, it has a low collection efficiency for the submicrometer sized particles. Electrospraying is a potential method to increase the particle charging efficiency, which results in increased collection efficiency. Although particle charging efficiency is highly dependent upon droplet size, the effective measuring method of the droplets is still uncertain. Tap water was electrosprayed in this study, and the images of electrosprayed droplets were taken with a high speed camera coupled with several visualization methods in order to measure the droplets size. The droplet size distribution was determined by an image processing with an image-J program. As a result, a droplet measured by a laser visualization, had a half size of that by a Xenon light visualization. In addition, the experimentally measured droplet sizes were a good agreement with the predicted values suggested by $Fern{\acute{a}}ndez$ de la Mora and Loscertales(1994).

2-유체 인젝터의 분무연소에 대한 통찰 및 구조에 대한 이해와 연료-공기 혼합과 연소반응의 물리적 이해에 필요한 수치적 모델의 개발 및 검증을 위해서는 2유체 시스템에서 액체 및 기체 각각의 기본적 특성인 액적크기, 액적속도, 액적의 질량플럭스(flux), 가스상의 속도측정 등이 필요하다. 특히, 액체분무에서는 액적의 크기를 예측하는 것이 매우 중요한 과제이며, 액적의 크기에 영향을 주는 인자들로는 노즐의 형태, 분사액체의 물성치(점도, 표면장력, 밀도), 주위기체의 조건(온도, 압력, 응축과 증발현상), 분사압력 등이 있다. 그러나, 실제 분무액적의 크기는 분포를 가지므로 같은 SMD를 가지더라도 그 분포의 정도는 크게 다를 수 있어 결과적으로 분무액적의 크기를 평균값만으로 표현하는 것은 불충분할 뿐만 아니라 그 적용에도 한계를 가지게 된다. 따라서 분무액적의 평균크기와 함께 그 분포의 정도 등을 함께 나타내려는 시도가 많은 과학자들에 의하여 연구되었다.

본 연구에서는 유화연료 액적의 연소시에 나타나는 일반적인 연소특성과 이에 미치는 압력의 영향에 대하여 실험적인 방법으로 연구를 수행하였다. 고압용기내에서 유화연료의 단일 액적을 연소시키면서 그 연소과정을 고속으로 촬영하여 분석하는 한편, 연소과정중의 액적 내부의 온도변화를 측정하였다. 고압 용기내의 압력은 대기압으로부터 10atm까지, 연료에 대한 물의 혼합비는 체적비로 0-20%까지 변화시키면서, 유화연료 액적의 연소특성에 미치는 물의 함량과 압력변화의 영향을 분석하였다.

A direct photograph measurement technique was used to determine the spatial distribution of the spray droplet diameter in subsonic crossflow and it also obtain that SMD distribution by using PLLIF technique. The injector internal flow was classified as three modes such as a normal, cavitation, and hydraulic flip. The objectives of this research are getting a droplet distribution and drop size measurement of normal flow and compare with the other flow effects. Although the study showed visually that drop size were spatially dependent of Air-stream velocity, fuel injection velocity, and normalized distance from the injector exit length.(x/d, y/d) There are also difference characteristics between cavitation, hydraulic flip and the normal flow.

In the high convective gas flow condition, irregular shaped water waves from which droplet entrainment occurs are generated under horizontally stratified two-phase flow condition. KAERI proposed a new mechanistic droplet entrainment model based on the momentum balance equation consisting of the shear stress, surface tension, and gravity forces. However, this model requires correlation or experimental data of several physical parameters related to the wave characteristics. In the present study, we tried to measure the physical parameters such as wave slope, wave hypotenuse length, wave velocity, wave frequency, and wavelength experimentally. For this, an experiment was conducted in the horizontal rectangular channel of which width, height, and length are, respectively, 40 mm, 50 mm, and 4.2 m. In the present test, the working fluids are chosen as air and water. The PIV technique was applied not only to obtain images for phase interface waves but also to measure the velocity field of the water flow. Additionally, we developed the parallel wire conductance probe for the confirmation of wave height from PIV image. Finally, we measured the physical parameters to be used in the validation of new droplet entrainment model.

The effects of solid surface roughness on the contact angle of a nanofluid droplet were experimentally investigated. The experiments were conducted using the solid surface of a 10 mm cubic copper block and the nanofluid of water mixed with CuO nanoparticles. The experimental results showed that the contact angles of nanofluid droplets were lower than those of water droplets and that the contact angle of the nanofluid droplet increased with the solid surface roughness. Furthermore, it was found that the contact angles of water droplets on the solid surface quenched by both water and the nanofluid were lower than those of water droplets on the pure solid surface. However, significant differences were not observed between the contact angles on the solid surfaces quenched by water and the nanofluid.

An economic and efficient system for measuring drop sizes was developed. Pattern recognition technique was used with conventional oil-bath sampling and photographic method. The system was designed to measure and count relatively large number of drops in a very short time, and also to filter out abnormal images such as drops in contact or overlap as well as odd-shaped foreign materials. In this measuring system, most important error originates from the process of converting the original image to the binary image. If the photograph contains a large number of spray drops, the relative size of the pixel to the drops is not infinitesimally small; thus the proper choice of threshold level to convert the original image to the binary image becomes very important. In present case, most of the images lay in one of the two separate bands of brightness level and the arithmetic mean of the most popular brightness levels from each band was chosen as the threshold level. Present image processing system reduces the subjective error by the observers in counting and measuring drops and turns out to be substantially effective. The processing time can be further reduced by improving the hardware system concerned with the digital image coding.

In this study, the optical depth is analyzed with the effects of droplet size distribution of the water curtain nozzle to attenuate the radiative heat transfer. The HELOS/VARIO equipment is used for the measurement of the droplet size distributions. The spray characteristics are quantified by the investigation of Deirmenjian's modified gamma distribution function. The distribution constant of the nozzle can be obtained as ${\alpha}=1$ and ${\gamma}=5.2$. The generalized equation of the optical depth related with the droplet size distribution is introduced. These results will be applicable to the analysis of the design condition of the water curtain nozzle.
