Characteristics of the twin fluid spray with ultrasonic forcing are examined in order to obtain the high efficiency of cold fog spray of the automatic pest control machine which has been widely used for the equipment cultivation recently. An electrostrictive vibrator of PZT BLT and a magnetostrictive vibrator of ${\pi}type$ with 28 kHz are applied as the ultrasonic transducer. All experiments are made and observed in 4 methods of spray ; a conventional spray method without ultrasonic forcing, an indirect vibration method with ultrasonic forcing, an improving duality method by ultrasonic forced within liquid, and a combined use method with both of the indirect vibration method and the improving quality method. In results, It was clarified that the ultrasonic effects the atomization of spray droplets and its efficiency is about $10{\%}$ and especially much more in the case of the combined use method.

The preparation of Y-doped $SrZrO_3$powder by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis was investigated as a representative system, in order to produce fine, single phase multicomponent oxide powders. A precursor solution containing metal nitrates, citric acid and ethylene glycol was atomized glycol was atomized with an ultrasonic spray nozzle. Gel particles formed by organic functional groups were pyrolyzed and subsequently calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ to obtain well-crystallized, single perovskite phase. Most of large particles exhibited macroscopic pores and weak agglomeration between primary particles. However, strong agglomeration was observed in the surfaces of large particles. The effect of the microstructures of these particles on size reduction to submicron particles was described.

This paper describes a shower type ultrasonic cleaning system using particle acceleration, developed for better effectiveness in washing out agricultural chemicals from fruits or vegetables, compared to the existing bath type ultrasonic cleaning system. The shower type system consists of a signal generator, a transducer, and a spouting nozzle, mainly. The system has been tested based on the method recommended by Korea Food and Drug Administration. It is found that shower type system shows better performance and cost-effectiveness than the bath type system that is commercially available .

The atomization of a liquid into multiple droplets has many important industrial applications, including the atomization of fuels in combustion processes and coating of surfaces and particles. Ultrasonic atomizing nozzle has a transducer that receives electrical input in the form of a high frequency signal from a power generator and converts that into mechanical energy at the same frequency. Liquid is atomized into a fine mist spray using high frequency sound vibrations. In coating applications, the unpressurized, low-velocity spray reduces the amount of overspray significantly because the droplets tend to settle on the substrate, rather than bouncing off it. The spray can be controlled and shaped precisely by entraining the slow-moving spray in an ancillary air stream using specialized types of spray-shaping equipment. The desired patterns of spray can be obtained using an air stream. To simulate the water mist behavior of an ultrasonic atomizing nozzle using an air stream, the Lagrangian dispersed phase model was employed using the commercial code FLUENT. The effects of the nozzle contraction shape, water droplet size and the pneumatic pressure drop on the spray characteristics were investigated to obtain the optimal condition for coating applications.

The Systems Engineering (SE) approach is characterized by the application of a structured engineering methodology for the design of a complex system or component. In this study, the SE methodology is used to design a nondestructive inspection system for Bottom Mounted Instrumentation (BMI) nozzles. We developed a system that enables nondestructive inspection of BMI nozzles during regular refueling outage without removing the reactor internals. A special ultrasonic (UT) probe is introduced to scan and detect cracks within the weld region of the nozzle. A 3D model of the inspection structure system was developed along with the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) and internals which permits a virtual 3D simulation of the operation to check the design concept and effectiveness of the system and to provide a good visualization of the system. This approach allows for a virtual walk through to verify the proposed BMI nozzle inspection system.

In liquid-fuel spray combustion, an experimental study was conducted to observe the effect of ultrasonic excitation on the ultrasonically-atomized liquid fuel flame by controlling pressure field through an ultrasonic standing wave. Flame of the ultrasonically-atomized kerosene aerosol was visualized by using a high speed camera, DSLR, and Schlieren photography. The amount of fuel consumed was obtained by a precise flow-rate measurement technique during combustion, through which the ratio of carrier gas (air) to fuel mass was able to be obtained, too. As a result, it could be found that the combustion reaction-rate of the liquid-fuel aerosol was increased by applying an ultrasonic standing wave to the secondary flame zone of the flame.

A study was conducted to analyze the behavioral change of the kerosene flame ultrasonically-atomized under an ultrasonic standing-wave. Combustion region was visualized through DSLR, ICCD camera and the Schlieren photography with high-speed camera. The fuel consumption was measured by a precise scale. As a result, in the case of ultrasonic standing-wave excitation, it was observed that the intensity of OH radical(OH^*) was enhanced and optimal combustion condition was formed around the upper edge of the standing-wave field.
