Fluid properties which are most commonly used to evaluate spray atomization characteristics, are important because they affect velocity and size distribution of droplets. The purpose of this study was to incorporate the significant characteristics in atomization process of industrial etching spray and how each of them affects the design of precise pressure-swirl nozzles. The experiment was carried out with different viscosity and density of fluid. The macro characteristics of liquid spray, such as the spray angle and shape were captured by PMAS and the micro characteristics of liquid spray, such as droplet size and velocity were obtained by PDA. The mean velocity and SMD of droplets were measured along axial and radial direction. It was found that the higher viscosity and density resulted in the larger SMD and the lower mean velocity of droplets.

The present article deals with the numerical calculations for the inter-spray impingement of two diesel sprays under the conditions of high injection pressure. The Wave model involving the cavitation effect inside the nozzle was used for describing the atomization process. In particular, a hybrid model for drop collision was newly suggested in this study and compared with the O'Rourk's model, which has been widely used for diesel sprays. The impingement angles of 60 and 90 degrees were considered for simulation of non-evaporative diesel sprays. The calculated results for tip penetration were compared with experimental data and the Sauter Mean Diameter(SMD) characteristic was analyzed. It was concluded that the hybrid model slightly shows better agreement with experimental data than the O'Rourke's model. However, the more elaborate study should be needed for better understanding of spray-to-spray impingement phenomena.

The atomization characteristics of an annular liquid (water) sheet of small radius with a core gas (air) flow were studied. Different sizes of annular gaps (0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 mm) were tested to find the effect of liquid sheet thickness on SMD. The inner diameter of the gas port for the core gas flow was 4 mm. Cross-section averaged SMD was measured for various liquid and gas velocities. Regions of the SMD decrease with the increase of the liquid velocity always existed regardless of the liquid sheet thickness. This attributes to the transition of the flow patterns of spray and also to the aerodynamic interaction between the atomizing gas and the ripples on the liquid sheet surface.

In this study, a liquid sheet type co-axial nozzle has been used to investigate the turbulent atomization characteristics which could result in the experimental data to be used in designing a jet nozzle with high performance. Image processing technique and immersion sampling method were employed to measure droplet size. In atomizing characteristics, droplet size distributions and absolute droplet sizes, SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) have been investigated in the wide ranges of flow field depending upon the air-water mass ratios. And the comparisons between the present data and the semi-empirical curves have been conducted semi-empirical correlation for SMD has been derived in the present analysis.

The present study has numerically and experimentally investigated the spray behavior of liquid jet injected in subsonic cross-flow. The corresponding spray characteristics are correlated with jet operating parameters. The spray dynamics are known to be distinctly different in the three regimes: the column, the ligament and the droplet regimes. The behaviors of column, penetration and breakup of liquid jet have been studied. Numerical and physical models are base on a modified KIVA code. The primary atomization is represented by a wave model base on the KH(Kelvin-Helmholtz) instability that is generated by a high interface relative velocity between the liquid and gas flows. In odor to capture the spray trajectory, CCD camera has been utilized. Numerical and experimental results indicate that the breakup point is delayed by increasing gas momentum ratio and the penetration decreases by increasing Weber number.

This experiment was undertaken to investigate spray characteristics of the conventional inject ion system and the ultrasonic energy added inject ion system. Sauter mean diameter was mesured under the variation of inject ion pressure and the spray distance. To measure the droplet size we used the Malvern system 2600C. The spray angle and mass distribution was analyzed to the CCD camera and the patternater. After experiment, it was found that the ultrasonic energy added injection system had smaller sauter men diameter of droplet, wider mass distribution and wider spray angle than the conventional inject ion system had.

Mixture formation is one of the important factors to improve combustion performance of MPI gasoline engines. This is affected by spray and atomization characteristics of injector. Especially, in the case of EGI system, air-fuel mixing period is too short and formed a lot of fuel-film in the intake manifold and cylinder wall. This fuel-film is not burnt in cylinder, it is exhausted in the form of HC emission. In this paper, spray characteristics such as size distributions, SMD, and spray angle are measured by PMAS, and the fuel-film measuring device is developed specially. Using this device, the amount and distribution of fuel-film which flows into through valve can be measured Quantitatively. As the result of these experiments, the information of optimal spray characteristics and injection condition that minimize the fuel-film can be built up.
