In this paper, the atomization characteristics of bi-swirl coaxial injectors for a 420 N-class bipropellant thruster were investigated. Three types of injectors, namely closed-type, open-type, and screw-type, were manufactured and designed to have the same spray angle and injection pressure drop. Water was used as a simulant, and cold-flow tests were conducted under ambient temperature and pressure conditions. Since the inner and outer injectors were designed to be the same type, only the inner fuel injectors that were easy to measure were used. Using a phase doppler particle analyzer, the velocity and diameter of atomized droplets were measured. Closed-type swirl injector exhibited droplet distributions with relatively high velocities and small SMD compared to the other two injectors. Open-type swirl injector formed droplets with reverse velocities in the center region and had a large recirculation zone. Screw-type swirl injector showed a sharp decrease in droplet velocity and size with radial distance from the liquid film breakup point. For the same design requirements, the closed-type swirl injector has superior atomization performance.

In this paper, we present the fabrication of microlens by electrohydrodynamic atomization(EHDA) of PDMS prepolymer. The diameter and contact angle of PDMS microlens can be altered by changing the applied voltage and substrate temperature at the experimental setup. It is considered that PDMS microlens can be integrated into the Lab-on-a-chip directly without any photolithographic process by EHDA. The property of PDMS microlens is confirmed by transmitting and measuring the Gaussian beam through microlens.

Improving the atomization characteristics by adopting the Air-Shrouded injector has been considered as one of the important methods for decreasing HC emissions in SI engines. Thus, in this study for the purpose of developing Air-Shrouded injector which has a finer spray, atomization characteristics of different types of commercial Air-Shrouded injectors were investigated through the spray imaging and the drop size measurements. As a result, it was found that the internal mixing type of Air-shrouded injector had a good atomization characteristics. But, a number of large droplets were found in the internal mixing type commercial injector, this phenomenon was improved by adopting the thread type nozzle passages.

A centrifugal atomization process for uranium fuel was developed in order to fabricate high uranium density dispersion fuel for advanced research reactors. Spherical powders of $U_3Si$ and U-Mo were successfully fabricated and dispersed in aluminum matrices. Thermal and mechanical properties of dispersion fuel meat were characterized. Irradiation tests at the research reactor HANARO confirm the excellent performance of high uranium density dispersion fuel.

An atomization doping process is proposed to manufacture nonlinear optical fiber containing higher concentration of PbTe nano-particles in the core of the fiber than that by the conventional solution doping process. The absorption peaks appeared near 725nm, 880nm, and 1050nm are attributed to the PbTe quantum dots in the fiber core.

The stable deposition of impinging droplets on non-wetting substrates is of great importance for numerous industrial and scientific applications such as coating techniques, inkjet printing, spray cooling of heated surfaces. In this work, we systematically investigate impinging behaviors of non-Newtonian and viscous droplets ejected by electrohydrodynamic atomization.

An experimental investigation has been carried out to reveal the atomization process of the diesel fuel spray. The spray injected through a single hole nozzle was taken by a camera on the opposite side of a stroboscope for macroscopic observation or a nanolite for microscopic observation. The effect of nozzle aspect ratio was analyzed with disintegration phenomena of the diesel spray. Based on the enlarged spray photograph, atomization process was observed in detail and further the spray cone angle was measured under various ambient pressures. The result shows that atomization of diesel spray in early stage of injection is mainly progressed in the vicinity of spray periphery region except the region close to the nozzle exit and spray head region. The spray cone angle is nearly constant under the pressurized condition, while it decreases with elapsing time under the atmospheric condition.

A nozzle with vortex generator was used to develop the low pressure nozzle with high atomization performance and the nozzle atomized the liquid by centrifugal shear forces. In order to analyze the atomization characteristics, a shadowgraphy method was used and the measurement of droplet size was performed by using laser diffraction analyzer. The liquid injection pressure was fixed as 0.03 bar which is very low pressure and the gas injection pressures were changed from 0 bar to 2.0 bar. As a result, the breakup was achieved at the air injection pressure of 0.25 bar and over. The nozzle with the orifice diameter of 0.4 mm and the orifice gap of 0.25 mm presented small droplet diameters under 50 at the air injection pressure of 0.75 bar.

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.
