The flow structure of particles for two different injectors has been investigated experimentally by means of a Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer(PDPA). Two injectors used in the present study are the pipe and contraction nozzle. Particles of 0.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 30${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 60 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, and 100${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ diameter were injected with a constant mass loading ratio of 0.01 and a Reynolds number of 13200. The initial mean velocity and turbulent intensity of particle are strongly influenced by the particle size and the injector geometry. The flow angles of particle at nozzle exit are sensitive to the particle size rather than the injector geometry.

This paper is a review of the results of examining the flow characteristics of gas and particles with regards to pipe-type nozzle and converging nozzles depending on nozzle geometry. The nozzles used in this experiment are the pipe-type nozzle which can sufficiently mix the gas and particles, and the converging nozzle which can rapidly accelerate fluid . The particles used at the time of this experiment each measured 0.8, 30, 60 and 80${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in the diameter. The Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer was used to measure the velocity of each particle, and the Hot-wire probe was used to measure the spectrum in order to analyze the flow near the nozzle exit of the 0.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ particle.

The experimental investigation of a coal splitter used in the 500㎿(e) boilers of fossil power plant is carried out to validate the design criteria. To predict air flow and the amount of particles at the exit, velocity and the weight of particles are measured on test planes using the coal splitter model with two-dimensional phase doppler particle analyzer and the glass fiber filter. It is found that the position of guide plate influences significantly both flow rates of gas and particle at the exit. Gas flow rate was a linear function of the guide plate, whereas particle flow rate was a exponential function of it.

An experimental study was conducted to understand spray characteristics of rotating fuel nozzle by using high speed rotational system. The experimental apparatus consist of a fuel injection system, high speed rotational system, and acrylic case. The test is performed with several diameters and number of injection orifices. Spray characteristics such as droplet size and velocity are measured by PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer). From the test results, we could understand the spray characteristics of rotating fuel nozzle with orifice number and diameter.

The intermitternt and transient fuel spray have been investigated from the simultaneous measurement of droplet sizes and velocities by using Phase/Doppler Particle Analyzer(PDPA). Measurement have been done on the spray axis and at the edge of the spray near nozzle at various gas-to-liquid density ratios(.rho./sub g//.rho./sub l/) that ranges from those found in free atmospheric jets to conditions typical of diesel engines. Probability density distributions of the droplet size and velocity were obtained from raw data and mathematical probability density functions which can fit the experimental distribations were extracted using the principle of maximum likelihood. In the near nozzle region on the spray axis, droplet sizes ranged from the lower limit of the measurement system to the order of nozzle diameter for all (.rho./sub g/ /.rho./sub l/) and droplet sizes tended to be small on the spray edge. At the edge of spray, average droplet velocity peaked during needle opening and needle closing. The rms intensity is greatly incresed as the radial distance from the nozzle is increased. The probability density function which can best fit the physical breakage process such as breakup of fuel drops is exponecially decreasing log-hypebolic function with 4 parameters.

This study is focussed on the investigation of spray characteristics from the high pressure gasoline injector for the application of gasoline direct injection engine. For the analysis of spray structure of high pressure gasoline injector; the laser scattering method with a Nd-Yag laser and the Phase Doppler particle analyzer system were applied to observe the spray development and the measurement of the droplet size and velocity of the spray, respectively. Also spatial velocity distribution of the spray droplet was measured by use of the particle image velocity system. Experimental results show that high pressure gasoline injector shapes the hollow-cone spray, and produce the upward ring shaped vortex on the spray surface region. This upward ring shaped vortex promotes the secondary atomization of fuel droplets and contributes to a uniform distribution of fuel droplets. Most of fuel droplets are distributed under 31$\mu m$ of the mean droplet size (SMD) and the frequency distribution of the droplet size under 25$\mu m$ is over 95% at 7 MPa of injection pressure. According to the experimental results of PIV system, the flow patterns of the droplets velocity distribution in spray region are in good agreement with the spray macroscopic behaviors obtained from the visualization investigation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the internal structure of the impinged diesel spray at various experimental conditions. To examine the effect of various factors on the development of a diesel spray impinging on the wall, experiments were conducted at the various Injection pressures, wall distances from the nozzle tip and angles of wall inclination. The PIV system consists of a double pulsed Nd:YAG laser was utilized to analyze the internal flow structure of impinged diesel sprays. The velocity fields from the PIV system were compared with the results measured by the phase Doppler particle analyzer(PDPA)system. The results show that internal flow pattern of the impinged spray was similar with the results from the PDPA system. The radial velocity of the impinged spray was increased with the increase in the injection pressure and near the nozzle-wall distance. The generation of vortex was also promoted with the Increase in angles of wall inclination.

This paper presents disintegration process of the small rotational fuel injector. In order to understand disintegration precess, we measured droplet diameter, velocity and spray distribution by the PDPA(Phasse Doppler Particle Analyzer) system. Also spray was visualized by using Nd-Yag flash photography. From the test results, the liquid column emerging from the injection orifice is mainly controlled by the rotational speeds. Furthermore, droplet diameter(SMD) and spray distribution were strongly influenced by the diameter of the injection orifice.

The droplet and the turbulent characteristics of a counterflowing internal mixing pneumatic nozzle mainly focused. The measurements were made using a Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer under the different air pressures. The nozzle with tangential-drilled holes at an angle of 30 to the central axis has been designed. The spatial distributions of velocities, fluctuating velocities, droplet diameters and SMD were quantitatively and qualitatively fluctuating velocities were substantially higher than the radial and the tangential ones. This implies that the disintegration process is enhanced with the higher air pressure. The larger droplets were detected near the spray centerline at the upstream while the smaller ones were generated at the downstream. This was attributed to the lower rates of spherical particles which were not subject to instantaneous breakup. However, substantial increases in SMD from the central part tower spray periphery were predictable in downstream regions.
