Quantifying liquid boundary and vapor distributions in a fuel spray by rainbow schlieren deflectometry

Journal Article Taber Wanstall, C. ; Agrawal, Ajay K. ; Bittle, Joshua A. - Applied Optics

The rainbow schlieren deflectometry (RSD) technique is used to determine the liquid boundary and the fuel volume fraction distributions in the vapor region of a high-pressure fuel spray. Experiments were conducted in a constant pressure flow vessel, whereby a customized single-hole common-rail diesel injector is used to introduce n-heptane fuel into a coflow of low-speed ambient air at two different test conditions. Only the quasi-steady period of the fuel spray is considered, and multiple injections are performed to acquire statistically significant data at an image acquisition rate of 20 kHz. An algorithm to identify the liquid boundary using intensity recordedmore »« less

Spray flow structure from twin-hole diesel injector nozzles

Journal Article Nguyen, D. ; Duke, D. ; Kastengren, A. ; ... - Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science

Two techniques were used to study non-evaporating diesel sprays from common rail injectors which were equipped with twin-hole and single-hole nozzles for comparison. To characterise the sprays, high speed optical imaging and x-ray radiography were used. The former was performed at the LTRAC laboratory at Monash University, while the latter was performed at the 7-BM beamline of the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. The optical imaging made use of high temporal, high spatial resolution spray recordings on a digital camera from which peripheral parameters in the initial injection phase were investigated based on edge detection. The x-ray radiographymore »« less

Investigation of Natural Circulation Instability and Transients in Passively Safe Small Modular Reactors

Technical Report Ishii, Mamoru

The NEUP funded project, NEUP-3496, aims to experimentally investigate two-phase natural circulation flow instability that could occur in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), especially for natural circulation SMRs. The objective has been achieved by systematically performing tests to study the general natural circulation instability characteristics and the natural circulation behavior under start-up or design basis accident conditions. Experimental data sets highlighting the effect of void reactivity feedback as well as the effect of power ramp-up rate and system pressure have been used to develop a comprehensive stability map. The safety analysis code, RELAP5, has been used to evaluate experimental results andmore »« less

Analysis of transport mechanisms in dense fuel droplet sprays: Progress report for the period June 1, 1987-May 31, 1988

Technical Report Kleinstreuer, C.

A basic understanding of the effects of closely-spaced, evaporating droplets on the transfer processes in dense sprays are of importance for the improved design of fuel droplet combustion and other spray systems. The development of two different modeling approaches and preliminary results are presented for transient laminar axisymmetric two-phase flow past single and multiple droplets. The first approach is a finite element solution of the complete transport equations for convection heat transfer between a hot gas stream and closely-spaced volatile fuel droplets. The resulting computer simulation model is validated with empirical data sets for flow around a single, heated spheremore »« less
Computations of turbulent evaporating sprays

Conference Aggarwal, S.K. ; Chitre, S.

A computational study of turbulent evaporating sprays is reported. The major focus is to examine the sensitivity of the vaporization behavior of turbulent sprays to the transient liquid-phase processes. Three models considered to represent these processes are the thin skin, infinite diffusion, and diffusion limit models. Favre-averaged equations with k-epsilon-g turbulence model are employed for the gas phase. The Lagrangian approach with a stochastic separated flow method is used for the liquid phase where the effects of gas turbulence on droplet trajectories and interphase transport rates are considered using random-walk computations. Also the variable-property effects are considered in detail. Resultsmore »« less
