Abstract

In this study, the effects of the mixing ratio of emulsified fuel on the droplet evaporation and spray behavior characteristics were analyzed. A surfactant comprising span 80 and tween 80 mixed at a 9:1 ratio was used for the emulsified fuel. The fuel and surfactant were mixed at a ratio of 3:1 for the emulsified fuel. In addition, considering the mixing ratio of the surfactant, the mixing ratio of $H_2O_2$ in the emulsified fuel was set as EF (emulsified fuel)0, EF2, EF12, EF22, EF32, and EF42. To observe the evaporation characteristics, droplets of the emulsified fuel were dropped on a heating plate and observed using scattered light and a Schlieren system. In addition, to analyze the effect of the $H_2O_2$ mixing ratio, the behavior characteristics of the evaporative free spray were investigated in the mixing ratio range of EF0 to EF22 using a constant volume chamber with heaters. Consequentially, it was found that in the case of EF22, the free spray development of the emulsified fuel was faster than that of EF0 (diesel only) because of the promotion of the evaporation due to the phase change in the peroxide contained in the emulsion fuel.

본 논문은 에멀젼연료(Diesel/$H_2O_2$)에 있어 과산화수소의 혼합비가 혼합연료 액적증발 및 분무거동 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 연료혼합을 위한 계면활성제는 span 80, tween 80을 9:1로 혼합하여 에멀젼연료 총 부피의 3%로 고정 혼합하였다. 또한 과산화수소의 혼합비율은 계면활성제의 혼합비를 고려하여 EF (Emulsified Fuel)0, EF2, EF12, EF22, EF32 및 EF42로 설정하였다. 에멀젼연료 액적의 증발특성을 관찰하기 위해 가열판에 액적 방울을 투하시켜 액적이 증발하는 현상을 산란광 및 쉴리렌기법을 통하여 촬영하였다. 또한 혼합비 변화에 따른 혼합연료의 분무거동특성을 해석하기 위하여 혼합연료 EF0~EF22를 선택하여 $150^{\circ}C$로 유지된 정적용기에서 증발자유분무 거동해석 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 과산화수소의 혼합비율이 EF0보다 높은 EF22 에멀젼연료의 자유분무성장이 연료 속에 혼합된 과산화수소의 증발촉진으로 인하여 보다 신속하였다.
