This paper reports on breakup characteristics of fuel droplet which includes metal nanoparticles. In order to develop a new injection system for nanoparticle-coated layers overcoming the conventional flame spray system, fundamental experiments were conducted to examine the interaction between a fuel droplet with nanoparticles and the external energy induced by the laser. In the experiments, this study used nickel nanoparticles whose size was under 100 nm to mix with kerosene as the fuel, and utilized a syringe pump and a metal needle to inject a fuel droplet. In particular, the Nd-YAG laser was adopted to give additional energy to the nanoparticles for evaporation of a fuel droplet containing nanoparticles. When the laser energy as 96 mJ was irradiated during the injection, it was observed that such an explosive evaporation occurred to break up a fuel droplet including nanoparticles, making the rapid increase in the ratio surface area to liquid volume. From this work, we suggest the possibility that the laser energy can be used for rapid evaporation of a fuel droplet.

Curcumin is a flavonoid found in the rhizome of the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa L.) and has recently attracted interest because it has numerous biological functions and therapeutic properties. In the present study, we attempted to incorporate curcumin into medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) nanoemulsions (0.15 wt% curcumin, 10 wt% MCT oil, and 10 wt% emulsifiers) with various emulsifiers [polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate (Tween-20), sorbitan monooleate (SM), and soy lecithin (SL)]. The physicochemical properties of the nanoemulsions including the Ostwald ripening stability were investigated. The initial droplet size was found to be 89.08 nm for the nanoemulsion with 10 wt% Tween-20 (control), and when Tween-20 was partially replaced with SM and SL, the size decreased: 73.43 nm with 4 wt% SM+6 wt% Tween-20 and 67.68 nm with 4 wt% SL+6 wt% Tween-20 (prepared at 15,000 psi). When the nanoemulsions were stored for 28 days at room temperature, the droplet size increased as the storage time increased. The largest increase was observed for the control nanoemulsion, followed by the 4 wt% SL+6 wt% Tween-20 and 4 wt% SM+6 wt% Tween-20 systems. The Turbiscan dispersion stability results strongly supported the relationship between droplet size and storage time. The time-dependent increase in droplet size was attributed to the Ostwald ripening phenomenon. Thus, the Ostwald ripening stability of curcumin-loaded MCT nanoemulsions with Tween-20 was considerably improved by partially replacing the Tween-20 with SM or SL. In addition, curcumin may have acted as an Ostwald ripening inhibitor.

용융염-액체금속 추출공정에서 형성되는 액적 크기를 추정하는 방안으로 용융염-액체금속 계를 상온에서 유사한 물-수은 계로 대체하여 액적 형성 실험을 노즐의 종류에 따라 수행하여 Scheele-Meister 모델의 적용성을 평가하였다. 실험에서 액적의 크기 측정은 디지털카메라와 이미지분석 소프트웨어를 사용하였으며 노즐은 0.018 cm과 0.025 cm의 구멍 크기를 가지며 수은의 통과 길이가 1.3 cm인 상용 니들과 두께가 0.5 cm이며 0.0148 cm 구멍 2개, 0.0135 cm 구멍 3개, 0.0135 cm 구멍 4개인 것을 제작하여 사용하였다. 각각의 노즐에서 형성된 액적은 노즐 아래 20 cm까지 안정적인 구형을 유지하였다. 액적 크기의 측정치를 Scheele-Meister 모델의 추정치와 비교하였을 때 10% 오차 범위 안에서 일치하였다. 실험 결과는 물-수은 계에서 액적을 안정적으로 형성시키는 노즐에 대해 액적 크기 추정을 위한 Scheele-Meister 모델이 적용될 수 있음을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 대기압하에서의 에틸알코올과 케로신 연료액적의 단일액적과 액적배열시 연소에 대한 실험적 조사의 결과를 보여주고 있다. 초기액적 직경은 정상적으로 1.3~l.8mm이었고 표준화된 초기 액적거리 간거리 1/do는 1.3l~2.60이었다. 실험결과 에틸알코올 및 탄화수소계 연료인 케로신의 연소속도상수(k)는 초기 액적크기에 관계없이 각각 0.0083, 0.0095 $\textrm{cm}^2$/sec로 일정하였다. 1차원 종렬로 배열된 케로신 연료액적은 표준화된 초기액적간 거리(1/do)가 감소할수록 연소속도 상수(k)는 간소하였으며 3번째 액적보다 2번째 액적이 더욱 많은 영향을 받았고 2.60이상에서는 액적수명 감소에 영향을 미치지 못하였다

본 연구에서는 대기압하에서의 탄화수소계 연료인 제트유 연료액적에 대한 연소시 나타나는 액적의 연소특성 및 1차원 액적배열구조를 갖는 액적연소시 액적간격이 연소율 상수에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 실험결과, 탄화수소계 연료인 제트유(jet A-1)는 실험조건하에서 단일 연료액적의 연소에 대해 액적크기에 상관없이 일정한 연소율 상수 $\kappa_c= 0.915{mm}^2$ 를 유지하였으며 대기압하에서 액적직경의 제곱$(d^2)$은 시간에 대하여 선형함수를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 1차원 배열구조를 갖는 액적연소(액적간격 $l/d_o$가 1.208~2.922)사이에 있어서 액적간격이 감소 할수록 액적의 연소율 상수 ${\kappa}_c$는 감소하였으며, 일정 액적간격을 가지는 액적군 연소시 3번째 액적 보다 2번째 액적의 연소율상수 ${\kappa}_c$에 미치는 영향이 더 크게 나타났다.

The effect of ultra-high pressure homogenization on the emulsifying properties of whey protein was investigated in a model emulsion made with whey protein isolate and soya oil under various pH. The emulsifying properties, the average diameter of the oil droplets ($d_{vs}$), and the protein load, were measured for each emulsion produced at different homogenization pressures (50 to 200 MPa) and pH values (4.6 to 8.0). According to the results of variance analysis and response surface, the pH had more influence on oil droplet size and protein load than homogenization pressure. The model equations, which were obtained by response surface analysis, show that pH and homogenization pressure had the major effect on oil droplet size and protein load. Higher homogenization pressure decreased the average droplet size and the protein load. Homogenization at high pressure, as opposed to low pressure, causes no overprocessing, but the effect was pH-dependent. The average diameter of the oil droplets increased slightly by decreasing the pH from 8.0 to 6.5 and then increased dramatically toward the isoelectric point of whey protein (i.e., at pH 4.6). Moreover associated droplets were found at acidic pH and their size was increased at high temperature.

This paper presents twin spray characteristics of two impinging F-O-O-F type injectors in which fuel and oxidizer impinge on each other to atomize under the various conditions. The droplet size and velocity in the impinging spray flow field were measured using PDPA. The droplet size and velocity were investigated at the mixture ratios of 1.5, 2.0, 2.47 and 3.0 for four injectors in which two single F-O-O-F injectors were arranged at the intervals of 20.8, 31.2, 41.6 and 62.4mm respectively. In general, the arithmetic mean diameter, SMD and standard deviation of droplet size in the interaction area (X=0 and Y=0mm) were smaller, while the axial velocity in the interaction area was slightly higher. An empirical correlation is obtained for the (D$\_$10/)$\_$D//(D$\_$10/)$\_$c/ value under the assumptions of two identical droplets and these with different size and velocity. The droplets with low Weber numbers below 40 have possibility to coalesce, while those over 40 tend to disintegrate after impingement in the interaction area.

The objective of the present work is to examine the variation of cooling characteristics due to the Weber number of droplet on a heated surface. The surface temperatures varied from 72.5 - $106.1^{\circ}C$ on steel and Teflon, when Weber number was 60, 180, 300. The results are as follows; In the case of the same droplet size, the initial temperature of solid increases the indepth temperature of solid more drop. In the case of the same surface temperature, Weber number increases with increasing the cooling effect of droplet. The time-average heat flux increases with increasing the initial temperature of solid and Weber number. The evaporation time decreases with increasing the initial temperature of solid and Weber number.

The effect of S content in welding wires on spattering characteristics and droplet transfer phenomena was studied. In MAG welding using 80%Ar-$20%CO_2$ shielding gas, spattering characteristics and droplet transfer phenomena were varied with S content of wire. Sulfur addition in wire reduced surface tension of droplet and weld pool, and made arc more stable in MAG welding. With increasing S content, the spattering ratio and the ratio of large size spatter ($d{\geq}1.0mm$) were reduced in short circuit transfer mode. In spray transfer mode, spattering ratio, however was increased when sulfur was added more than 0.020wt.% because surface tension of droplets and weld pool was reduced too much even though arc stability was improved.
