In order to design a shear coaxial injector of solid particles for underwater propulsion system, basic experiments on gas-liquid shear coaxial injector are necessary. In the gas-liquid coaxial injector self-pulsation usually occurs with an intense scream. When self-pulsation occurs, mass flow rate oscillation and intense scream are detected by the interactions between the liquid and gas phase. Self-pulsation must be suppressed since this oscillation may cause combustion instabilities. Considerable research has been conducted on self-pulsation characteristics, but these researches are conducted in swirl coaxial injector. The main objective of this research is to understand the characteristics of self-pulsation in shear coaxial injector and reveal the mechanism of the phenomenon. Toward this object, self-pulsation frequency and spray patterns are measured by laser diagnostics and indirect photography. The self-pulsation characteristics of shear coaxial injector are studied with various injection conditions, such as the pressure drop of liquid and gas phase, and recess ratio. It was found that the frequency of the self-pulsation is proportional to the liquid and gas Reynolds number, and proportional to the L/d.

Deteriorated agricultural diesel engines using mechanical fuel injection systems have low fuel injection pressures. And they are not equipped with an exhaust gas abatement device, so it produces a lot of exhaust gas. Remanufactured used injectors can reduce emissions because spray characteristics are improved. In addition, remanufacturing is environmentally friendly and economical compared to producing new parts. For efficient injector remanufacturing, it is necessary to conduct a comparison experiment on the spray characteristics of an used mechanical injector and a new injector of the same model. In this study, the spray characteristics of the two injectors were compared by performing an injection quantity measurement and a spray visualization experiment. As a result, the used injector had a larger injection quantity, a shorter spray tip penetration, a wider spray angle and a smaller spray area than the new injector.

DME spray characteristics were investigated about varied ambient pressure and fuel injection pressure using the DME common rail fuel injection system when the nozzle holes diameter is varied. The common rail fuel injection system with DME cooling system was used since DME has properties of compressibility and vaporization in atmospheric temperature. The fuel injection quantity and spray characteristics were measured. The spray analysis parameters were spray shape, penetration length, and spray angle at six nozzle holes. Three types of injector were used, the nozzle holes diameter were 0.166 mm (Injector 1), 0.250 mm (Injector 2), and 0.250 mm with enlargement of orifice hole from 0.6 mm to 1.0 mm (Injector 3). The fuel injection pressure was varied by 5MPa from 35 to 70MPa when the ambient pressure was varied 0, 2.5, and 5MPa. When using Injector 3 in comparison to the others, the DME injection quantity was increased 1.69 ~ 2.02 times. Through this, it had the similar low heat value with diesel which was injected Injector 1. Among three types of injector, Injector 3 had the fastest development velocity of penetration length. In case of spray angle, Injector 2 had the largest spray angle. Through these results, only the way enlargement the nozzle holes diameter is not the solution of DME low heat value problem.

The capability of high pressure injection with small fuel quantify at all engine operating conditions is one of the main feature in common rail fuel injection system, which is used in small and light-duty Diesel engine. The key parameter for the better atomized fuel sprays and multiple injections of this common rail fuel injection control, that can be freely selected irrespective of the engine speed and load is the mechanism controlling the needle energizing and movement in high pressure Diesel injector. In the electro-hydraulic injector, the injection nozzle is being opened and closed by movement of the injector's needle which is balanced by pressure between the nozzle seat and the needle control chamber. This study describes the macroscopic spray structure characteristics of the common rail Diesel injectors with different electric driving method i.e. the solenoid-driven and piezo-driven type. The macroscopic spray characteristics such as spray tip speed. spray tip penetration and spray cone angle were investigated by the high speed spray, which is measured by the back diffusion light illumination method with optical system for the high speed temporal photography in a constant volume chamber pressurized by nitrogen gas. As the results, the prototype piezo-driven injector system was designed and fabricated for the first time in domestic case and the effect of injector's needle response driven by different drive type was compared between the solenoid and piezo-driven injector It was found therefore. that the piezo-driven injector showed faster needle response and had better needle control capability by altering the electric input value than the solenoid-driven injector.

The injection nozzle of an electro-hydraulic injector for the common rail Diesel fuel injection system is being opened and closed by movement of a injector's needle which is balanced by pressure at the nozzle seat and at the needle control chamber, at the opposite end of the needle. In this study, the slenoid actuator was considered as a prime movers in high pressure Diesel injector. Namely a solenoid-driven Diesel injector with different driving current types, as a general method driven by solenoid coil energy, has been applied with a purpose to develop the analysis model of the solenoid actuator to predict the dynamics characteristics of the hydraulic component (injector) by using the AMESim code. Aimed at simulating the hydraulic behavior of the solenoid-driven injector, the circuit model has been developed as a unified approach to mechanical modeling in this study. As this analytic results, we know the suction force and first order time lag for driving force can be endowed in solenoid-driven injector in controlling the injection rate. Also it can predict that the input current wave exerted on solenoid coil is the dominant factor which affects on the initial needle behavior of solenoid-driven injector than the hydraulic force generated by the constant injection pressure.

In this study, the combustion instability characteristics of low-swirl injector and high-swirl injector is compared by model gas turbine combustor. To compare of unstable behavior in high-swirl injector and low-swirl injector, we performed lots of measurement of combustion instability, with variable of equivalence ratio, combustor length and injector type. The results shown that longitudinal instability occur dominantly in model gas turbine combustor. In addition, it was found that high-swirl injector has more wide range of unstable regime than low-swirl injector. The blockage ratio what one of a parameter in low-swirl injector has not much effected in aspects of overall combustor behavior. Also, revealed that combustion instability occurred in the same combustor length has same properties, regardless of the injector type.

This study presents the process of the solenoid parameter estimation of an common-rail injector fer HSDI(High Speed Direct Injection) diesel engines. The EMF(Electromotive Force) and solenoid inductance are the major parameters for presenting the injector dynamics, and also these parameters are estimated by using a multi-layer feedforward artificial neural networks(ANN). The performances of parameter estimators are verified by the simulation with injector model. The feasibility of this methodology is closely examined through the simulation in the various operating points of injector. The simulation results have revealed that estimated parameters show favorable agreements with the common-rail injector model.
