In order to investigate the droplet size distribution and Sauter Mean Diameter in a ultra high pressure diesel spray, fuel was injected with ultra high pressure into the environments of high pressure and room temperature by an Electronic Hydraulic Fuel Injection System. Droplet size was measured with the immersion liquid sampling technique. The immersion liquid was used a mixture of water-methycellulose solution and ethanol. The Sauter Mean Diameter decreased with increasing injection pressure, with a decrease environmental pressure (back pressure) and nozzle diameter. Increasing the injection pressure makes the fuel density distribution of the spray more homogeneous. An empirical correlation was developed among injection pressure, air density, nozzle diameter and the Sauter Mean Diameter of spray droplets.

Drop size distribution of an air-assisted fuel injector(AAFI) was investigated. Influence of parameters such as ambient air density supply pressure and air-liquid mass ratio(ALR) was examined through both measurement and analysis. The Sauter mean diameter$D_{32}$ varied from 9 to 25$\mu$m throughout all experimental conditions. An empirical correlation for droplet size was obtained. Analytical correlations for predicting $D_{32}$ with respect to operating conditions were also derived through energy consideration and introduction of a simplified model of the from the empirical fitting was adapted to the original equation the proposed correlation in this study matched more closely with measured results. The current correlation exhibited a favorable study matched more closely with measured results. The current correlation exhibited a favorable prediction for $D_{32}$ compared to that by the empirical correlation at selected experimental conditions so that it may be used to predict atomization performance of the AAFI at operating conditions which was not covered in the measurements. After validation the analytical equation was applied to survey the feasible operating conditions for gasoline direct injection application.

EFI system has severe problems of heavy HC emission generated by large fuel droplets and non-uniform air-fuel mixture. Therefore, various atomization techniques are being developed in order to reduce HC emission. The one among those techniques is ar shrouded injector, which has better atomization ability and demands less power loss than other atomizers. Thus, the development of this air shrouded injector can be major topic to cope with international emission regulation. Nevertheless, there are few domestic and foreign studies which deal with air shrouded injector. In this study, the spray characteristics and atomization mechanism of the representative air shrouded injector were analyzed using PDPA system. From experimental results, the definite standards of air shrouded injector's spray characteristics were established.

바이오디젤은 재생가능한 친환경적인 연료로서 화석연료의 대체에너지로 수송분야에서 각광받고 있다. 따라서 바이오디젤의 사용량은 향후 꾸준히 증가할 것으로 보이며, 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 순수 디젤 대비 바이오디젤이 질량기준으로 0%, 5%, 20%, 50%, 100% 혼합된 연료를 사용하여 분무 및 연소실험을 진행하고, 분무각, 평균 입경, 열발생율 등의 특성을 도출하였다. 실험 결과, 바이오디젤의 혼합률이 증가할수록 연료의 점도 및 밀도가 증가하여 분무각과 특정 위치에서의 평균 입경이 작아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 바이오디젤의 함산소 특성으로 인해 초기 연소가 촉진되며, 이로 인해 연소 종료 시점이 앞당겨 지는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

The effect of spray characteristics on desulfurization yield was evaluated by performing experiments with pilot spray drying sorber (SDS). Among the variables of operating conditions, the slurry-spraying conditions were chosen as major parameters; Stoichiometric ratio and Sauter mean diameter of slurry droplet were varied for the different gas temperatures and $SO_{2}$ concentrations in the inlet gas flow. From the experimental results, we proposed semi-empirical models of desulfurization yield for both Stoichiometric ratio and Sauter mean diameter of droplets. The optimal condition of spray can be determined based on these results, which might be applied to the design or scale-up of SDS systems.

The spray characteristics of air-assisted fuel injection and its effects on the engine combustion was investigated in this study. The atomization characteristics of a Bosch fuel injector inserted into the air-assist adapter were measured using particle motion analysis system. Droplet size decreased with air supplied and fine spray with below $60\mu\textrm{m}$ of SMD was acquired under the conditions of air-assist pressure over 0.5bar. The lean combustion performance of a 1.8L DOHC engine equipped with air-assist adapters was tested on the dynamometer. When the assistant air pressure is 1.0bar, lean limit recorded the highest value, and CO, HC emissions were decreased at the pressure over 1.0bar.

In this study, the characteristics of high-pressure swirl injector have been studied using a commercial CFD code, STAR-CD and experiment to investigate the effect of the length of orifice and swirl port on the spray characteristics. Influences of swirl port angle and initial conditions have also been examined in terms of penetration depth and Sauter`s mean diameter. Computed results of the spray characteristics are compared with experimental results. The results show that the tangential velocity at the nozzle exit decreases, but the axial velocity increases as swirl port angle is increased. Hence, the static flow rate increases, but the initial spray angle decreases with increasing the swirl port angle. It is also shown that the values of the initial SMD used as input data for spray simulation influences the penetration depth and SMD. The spray pattern from the present numerical simulation agrees well with experimental result.

The Twin-fluid Swirl Nozzles are used in many parts of the industry to produce homogeneous spray. This study is to investigate the effects of outer air swiller and inner water swiller on atomization of liquid.. The experiment was carried out with increasing air-flow rate at constant liquid-flow rate and with changing outer air swiller angle and inner water swiller angle. A Particle Dynamics Analyzer(PDA) was used to measure drop size, mean and ms values of axial velocity, number density and Sauter mean diameter(SMD). The axial mean velocity and SMD of droplets were measured along the center line and radial directions. It was found that the higher air flow-rate resulted in the smaller Sauter mean diameter of liquid spray and the higher axial mean velocity of droplets. This experimental results will be conveniently used for the preliminary design stage of twin-fluid nozzle development.

A diesel spray overall SMD (Sauter mean diameter) in a spray chamber was simulated with CFD by varying the compression ratio in the spray chamber from 18:1 to 100:1. The gas densities of the spray chambers for the compression ratios of 18:1 and 100:1 were 17.97 and $74.8kg/m^3$, respectively. Standard KIVA-3V code was used for the CFD simulation. Various fuel injection patterns such as single injection, pilot injection and split injection were used for the CFD simulation. Fuel injection pressures for the simulated diesel sprays are 90 and 120 MPa. As the compression ratio increases, the CFD simulated SMD was decreased, which was generally in agreement with previous experimental studies.
