The disintegration process of initial spray from high-pressure swirl injector was investigated at different injection pressures. The transient breakup phenomena that were difficult to observe at high injection pressure were easily observed at the low injection pressure of 0.4MPa. The effect of fuel remained inside a nozzle hole volume on the penetration of initial spray was also investigated. The disintegration process of initial spray could be classified four regions: the formation of mushroom shape, the first collision, the second collision, and the development of spray, The liquid film of cup shape was particularly found in the second collision region, and the growth ratio of its length and width at low and high injection pressures were compared.

In this paper, the programming characteristics of the multi-bit devices based on SONOS structure are investigated. Our devices have been fabricated by 0.35 $\mu\textrm{m}$ complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process with LOCOS isolation. In order to achieve the multi-bit operation per cell, charges must be locally frapped in the nitride layer above the channel near the source-drain junction. Programming method is selected by Channel Hot Electron (CUE) injection which is available for localized trap in nitride film. To demonstrate CHE injection, substrate current (Isub) and one-shot programming curve are investigated. The multi-bit operation which stores two-bit per cell is investigated. Also, Hot Hole(HH) injection for fast erasing is used. The fabricated SONOS devices have ultra-thinner gate dielectrics and then have lower programming voltage, simpler process and better scalability compared to any other multi-bit storage Flash memory. Our programming characteristics are shown to be the most promising for the multi-bit flash memory.

The main parameter commonly used to evaluate spray distribution is spray angle. Spray angle is important because it influences the axial and radial distribution of the fuel. Spray angles were measured and compared for the two non-air assisted injectors such as 2hole-2stream 4hole-1stream injectors used for port fuel injection gasoline engines with n-heptane as a fuel by three different measuring techniques, i.e., digital image processing, shadowgraphy, and spray patternator, respectively. Fuel was injected with the injection pressures of 0.2-0.35 MPa into the room temperature and atmospheric pressure environment. In digital image processing approach, the selection of the transmittance level is critical to obtain the edge of spray and hence to measure the spray angle. From the measurement results by the shadowgraphy technique, it is dear that the spray angle is varied during the spray injection period. The measurement results from spray patternator show that the different spray angles exist in different region. Spray angle increases with the increase in the injection pressure. it is suggested that the spray angle and stream separated angle should be specified when spray is characterized for 2hole-2stream injector, because spray angle is much different though stream separated angle is same. It was also considerably affected by the measurement techniques introduced in this experimental work. However, the optimal axial distance for measuring the spray angle seems to be at least 60-80 mm from the injector tip for two non-air assisted injectors.

The effects of fuel injection system on the performance in a V8-type diesel engine was stuided in this paper. Fuel injection system is important factor which influence the engine performance and exhaust emission bcasuse the properties in the injected fuel depend on the atomization characteristics. In this study using diesel engine of 17.7:1 compression ration the engine performance and exhaust emission are measured experimentally according to 1000, 1400, 2200rpm in the full-load conditions. The chosen parameters for the major system are such diameter shape of combustion chamber and intake system. The results are as follows: As the nozzle hole diameter and injection angle become smaller and as the injection timing gets advanced the fuel consumption and concentration of smoke are decreasing whereas concentration of $NO_{x}$ is increasing. Andconcentration of $NO_{x}$ is increasing in accordance with the increase of injection pipe diameter and nozzle protrusion. Also it is shown that re-entrant type combustion chamber is more effective than that of toroidal type in the improvement of $NO_{x}$ reduction.

The present paper deals with the heat/mass transfer characteristics for the rotating impingement/effusion cooling system. By changing the size and number of injection hole, its effects on heat/mass transfer are investigated and three different injection hole cases are considered such as LH, DH and SH, respectively. Reynolds number based on the effusion hole diameter is fixed to 3,330 and two jet orientations are considered. A naphthalene sublimation method is used to obtain the heat/mass transfer coefficients on the effusion plate. The LH case shows that the local heat/mass transfer is significantly varied by the rotation. Moreover, the low and non-uniform Sh distributions occur because the impinging jet is deflected by Coriolis force. Meanwhile, for DH and SH cases, the local heat/mass transfer coefficients are enhanced significantly compared to LH case and the rotation effect decreases with increasing the jet velocity. The averaged Sh value of DH and SH case rises up to 45%, 85% than that of LH case. However, the uniformity of heat/mass transfer deteriorates due to the steep variation of heat/mass transfer.

Dimethyl ether (DM) is one of the most attractive alternative fuel far compression ignition engine. Its main advantage in diesel engine application is high efficiency of diesel cycle with soot free combustion though conventional fuel injection system has to be modified due to the intrinsic properties of DME. Experimental study of DME and conventional diesel spray employing a common-rail type fuel injection system with a 5-holes sac type injector (hole diameter 0.168 ㎜/hole) was performed in a high pressure chamber pressurized with nitrogen gas. A CCD camera was employed to capture time series of spray images followed by spray cone angles and penetrations of DME were characterized and compared with those of diesel. Under atmospheric pressure condition, regardless of injection pressure, spray cone angles of the DME were wider than those of diesel and penetrations were shorter due to flash boiling effect. Tip of the DME spray was farmed in mushroom like shape at atmospheric chamber pressure but it was disappeared in higher chamber pressure. On the contrary, spray characteristics of the DME became similar to that of diesel under 3MPa of chamber pressure. Hole-to-hole variation of the DME spray was lower than that of diesel in both atmospheric and 3MPa chamber pressures. At 25MPa and 40MPa of DME injection pressures, regardless of chamber pressure, intermittent DME spray was observed. It was thought that vapor lock inside the injector was generated under the two injection pressures.

In order to investigate the effect of fuel injection hole configuration within the scramjet combustor, experiment and quasi-one-dimensional analysis was performed. And the results were compared with experiment and analysis result which were performed in 2008 with same facility and test condition. Fuel injection hole size was decreased and quantity was increased. However the depth of fuel penetration and flow quantity of fuel were maintained. As a test result, combustion performance was increased significantly with no-cavity injector and slightly with plain-cavity. However, combustion performance with zigzag-cavity was decreased.

During cold operation period, fuel injection system directly contributes the unburned hydrocarbon formation in spark ignition engines. The relationship between injection parameters and HC emission behavior was investigated through a series of experiments. Spray behavior of port fuel injectors was characterized through a quantitative evaluation of mass concentration of liquid fuel by a patternator and PDA. 6-hole injector was found to produce finer spray than single hole one. Using a purpose-built test rig, the wall wetting fuel was measured, which was mostly affected by wall temperature. Varying coolant temperature($20{\sim}80^{\circ}C$), HC emissions were measured in a production engine. With respect to the different types of injectors, HC emission was also measured. In the 6-hole injector application, the engine produced less HC emission in low coolant temperature region. Though it produces much more amount of wetting fuel, it has the advantages of finer atomization quality. In high coolant temperature region, there was little effect between different types of injectors. The control schemes to reduce HC emissions during cold start could be suggested from the findings that the amount of fuel supply and HC emission could be reduced by utilizing fine spray and high intake wall temperature.

Emission regulations have been strengthened step by step for marine engines. A noble measure is required both inside and outside of the combustion chamber. The combustion characteristics in cylinder have a very close relationship with the exhaust emission characteristics. Injection valve and nozzle hole geometry is an important factor for combustion. The study to improve the spray characteristics has concentrated on nozzle inlet geometry and nozzle hole diameter, but the exit geometry has not considered. In this study the nozzle exit angle variation was tested. The results show that the angle between $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ is more effective than the other cases.
