A new electrostatic rotary atomizing painting equipment using air turbine was developed for high transfer efficiency. Based on the overall design requirements of painting equipment, basic design specifications of the equipment parts such as air turbine and atomizing disk ate defined from the present conceptual design model. Air turbine is designed with the section profile of NACA airfoil, and its internal flow field is analyzed by commercial CFD code. Atomizing disk is designed to achieve the ligament type spray of paint with the use of visualization technique. Various experiments and tests are conducted to investigate the spray and the transfer characteristics of newly-designed painting equipment, and the measurement results are compared with the those of conventional painting equipments. The comparison results show the present painting equipment is superior to the conventional ones in the aspects of transfer efficiency and coating surface characteristics.

Atomizing mode and powder characteristics of CuA1Ni base shape memory alloy in rotating disk atomization were investigated in accordance with disk materials and additional elements. Produced powders were classified into two types of spherical and flake shape. In the case of CuAlNiBTi and CuAlNiZr alloy, high yield rate and fine powder were obtained. This tendency was same when we used oxide coated disks. We concluded that this results were steno from the wetting characteristics change between molten metal and disk surface. Especially, due to the reactive properties of Ti and Zr with ceramic disk, the change of atomizing appearance and powder characteristics were noticeable.

Basic concepts and procedures for designing air turbine and atomizing disk, which require core technologies, of rotary atomizer were established. Experimental data agreed well with the computational fluid dynamics analysis results. The rotary atomizer RPM was varied remarkably for various air turbine and atomizing disk types. Experimentally, the atomizer with $20^{\circ}$, slope-contraction and 2 nozzle air turbine has shown the most desirable performance.

Supersonic axisymmetric jets issuing from various kinds of nozzles with a throat diameter of a few millimeters were experimentally investigated. The exit Mach number and Reynolds number based on the throat diameter of nozzle were in the range of 1.0 ~ 5.9 and 8.4$\times$ $10^4$ ~ 2.9$\times$$10^6$, respectively. The nozzle pressure ratio was varied from 5 to 85. Present paper aims to offer fundamental information of the supersonic free-jets, with an emphasis to give data with which the shape of the free-jets can be depicted under a specified condition. Experimental data are summarized to enable an estimation of the shape of the supersonic free-jets. The result shows that the shape of free-jets is dependent on only the nozzle pressure ratio.

In order to improve atomization of droplet of sprayers, gun-type nozzle equipped with swirl screw which could increase tangential velocity had been used in this study. The results obtained were as follow: The larger diameter of atomized droplet was, the longer it reached. Tile atomizing phenomenon while using swirl screw in the nozzle was more efficient. There was little difference of travelling distance in the both nozzles when the small diameter of disk hole was used, but thetravlling distance of the nozzle with swirl screw was evidently getting shorter with the increase of the hole diameter compared to that of the nozzle without swirl sorew. The size of sprayed particles was getting smaller owing to the phenomenon of air movement the one to two meters travelling distance of droplet from maximum travelling point.
