A one-dimensional monodisperse aerosol spray combustion facility is described and experimental results of post flame NO/NOx emissions are presented. Four different hydrocarbon fuels were studied: isopropanol, methanol, n-heptane, and n-octane. The results indicate an optimum droplet size in the range of 48–58 microns for minimizing NO/NOx production for all of the test fuels. This NOx behavior is associated with droplet interactions and the transition from diffusive type of spray burning to that of a prevaporized and premixed case. Decreasing the droplet size results in a trend of increasing droplet interactions, which suppresses temperatures and reduces NOx. This trend continues until prevaporization effects begin to dominate and the system tends towards the premixed limit. The occurrence of the minimun NOx point at different droplet diameters for the different fuels appears to be governed by the extent of prevaporization of the fuel in the spray, and is consistent with theoretical calculations based on each fuel’s physical properties.

An experimental study was prepared to find the relationship between Leidenfrost temperature and droplet size and velocity of impinging jets. The study is done for the case of steel surface cooling with two-phase nozzles. The sprayed surface moves under the spray at a velocity of 1 m/min. Cooling experiments were done for initial temperature of 1250°C. Thermal experiments are transient: internal temperature is measured and surface temperature and heat transfer coefficient distribution is computed by the inverse task. Droplet size and velocity of the impinging jet was modified by setting water and air pressures at the input of the nozzle. Spray parameters for each pressure combination was measured using a laser-doppler anemometer. The paper shows the results of the thermal and fluid flow experiment and the correlation between Leidenfrost temperature and flow parameters.The application of obtained results is expected for high temperature cooling especially in continuous casting.

An efficient and low cost experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of grain size effects on springback of thin sheet metal. A three-point bending setup was used to test Aluminum 1100 O-Temper and Brass 26000 1/2 Hard (H02). Thickness and average grain diameter were controlled to achieve a range of desired T/D (thickness/grain diameter) ratios because T/D ratio is a key factor that influences the springback behavior in micro sheet forming. The results from this experiment show that as T/D ratio becomes smaller (T/D > 1 → 1) the springback amount increases at a decreasing slope. And as T/D continues to become even smaller (T/D < 1) the springback amount begins to decrease. These behaviors demonstrate the influence of size effects on springback.
