Recently, fire extinguishing systems based on water mists have been attracting public attentions in marine engineering. Performance of the fire extinguishing systems is influenced by the size and distribution of spayed water mists. Droplet analyzing method based on image processing technique for measuring droplet size and distribution has been developed. The morphological method based on partial curvature information of pre-processed images was adopted for recognition and separation of overlapped particles. Tested results show that the present method may be reliable for the analysis of the size and distribution of droplets produced by water mist spay flow.

Recently, fire extinguishing systems based on water mists have been attracting public attentions in marine engineering. Performance of fire extinguishing systems is very strongly influenced by the size and distribution of spayed water mists. Therefore, the present study has developed droplet analyzing method based on image processing. The morphological technique based on partial curvature information of pre-processed images with relaxation method was adopted for recognition and separation of overlapped particles. Tested results showed that the present method may be reliable for the analysis of the size and distribution of droplets in spray flow of fire extinguishing systems based water mists.

Particle image analyzer for measuring droplet size has been developed. Image processing technique was used with relaxation method. The morphological method based on partial curvature information of pre-processed images was adopted for recognition and separation of overlapped particles. The measurement results show that the present method may be reliable for the analysis of the size and distribution of droplets produced by water mist spay flow.

Important characteristics of impinging sprays intersected by a strongly convective gaseous cross flows were experimentally investigated. The breakup processes due to different Weber and Reynolds numbers of liquid and gas streams were visually examined with quantitative measurements of breakup lengths, penetration heights, and droplet sizes. Snapshot images and spay data evidenced that, at lower jet Reynolds number the breakup processes portrays the atomization profiles similar to typical column breakup of single orifice jet. At higher jet Reynolds numbers, disintegration of jet stream is significantly expedited by strong momentum transported from strongly convective gaseous stream. The breakup length and penetration height decreased as the convective flow increase. From the bottom the wall up, the SMD measured the centerline increase. The maximum SMD appeared the top of the SMD distribution

The effect of water spray for the fire sprinkler depends on droples distribution over maximum possible floor area. The present study are carried out for the characteristics of water spray and droplets experimentally and numerically km two fire sprinkler heads which are CHM head and CHl heal CHl head is self-production and CHl head is widely used up to date. As the result of using CHM head, water spray and droplets are distributed over large area because CHM head has smooth surface and non-flamed shape. When the pressure of fire sprinkler head is low, SMD(sauter mean diameter) is large and when the pressure of fire sprinkler head is high, SMD is small.

The automotive industry as the major industry of the nation has affected both society and economy since the automobile was invented, and the main technique that help to performance improvement of the automobile has been developed. But, the painting technique lags behind the main technique of the automobile because that was neglected. Specially, we can say that in case of the painting technique of the automobile of our nation is so weak situation. After we changed the injecting pressure, the composition ratio (paint, hardener, thinner) and the injecting flow rate from spray-gun by PDPA, we studied the character of the injecting velocity and droplet size, and found the fittest condition. So, we got the following result to help mending paint technique of automobile surface. We could know the following fact from the experiment result. When it does mending paint of automobile, there is most suitable that to inject the paint as injecting pressure 200∼300 kPa and to inject the ratio of paint 10 : 1 : 1 when the fluid adjective knob valve spay-gun is open full.

This study was undertaken to investigation the spray characteristics of the twin fluid atomization nozzle system. The light oil was injected at the normal temperature and injection pressure was 5 bar - 10 bar by 1 bar and volume flow was 0.5, 1.0 and 2,0 mmH2O(X10-2). We measured the SMD of sprayed droplet to study spray characteristics. The following conclusions were reached from the results of these study. 1. The more injection pressure increased, the more SMD decreased. 2. The more measuring distance between pressure nozzle tip and analyser beam increased, the more SMD increased. 3. SMD of the blower-air-added injection system were shown, increasing volume flow decreased respectively. The result of this study indicated the blower-air-added injection system induced beneficial changes in SMD. And it will be considered important indicator for spray characteristics design and performance evaluation of twin fluid atomization nozzle system.
