Atomization Of A Liquid Water Jet In Crossflow At Varying Hot Temperatures For High-Speed Engine And Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Applications, Luke Caetano Jan 2022

Atomization Of A Liquid Water Jet In Crossflow At Varying Hot Temperatures For High-Speed Engine And Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Applications, Luke Caetano

Honors Undergraduate Theses

This paper aims to study how varying crossflow burning temperatures from 1100 C to 1800 C affect the liquid droplet breakup, size distribution, and atomization of a liquid water jet injected into a vitiated crossflow. The LJIC injection mechanism was implemented using the high-pressure axially staged combustion facility at the University of Central Florida. The measurement devices used to gather particle data from the exhaust plume were the TSI Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (APS), which measures particles between 0.523 µm and 20 µm, and the Sensirion SPS30 (SPS30), which measures particles between 0.3 µm and 10 µm. Both measurement devices were …


Towards Scalable Nanomanufacturing: Modeling The Interaction Of Charged Droplets From Electrospray Using Gpu, Weiwei Yang Jan 2012

Towards Scalable Nanomanufacturing: Modeling The Interaction Of Charged Droplets From Electrospray Using Gpu, Weiwei Yang

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Electrospray is an atomization method subject to intense study recently due to its monodispersity and the wide size range of droplets it can produce, from nanometers to hundreds of micrometers. This thesis focuses on the numerical and theoretical modeling of the interaction of charged droplets from the single and multiplexed electrospray. We studied two typical scenarios: large area film depositions using multiplexed electrospray and fine pattern printings assisted by linear electrostatic quadrupole focusing. Due to the high computation power requirement in the unsteady n-body problem, graphical processing unit (GPU) which delivers 10 Tera flops in computation power is used to …
