An inkjet nozzle with double piezo transducers has been designed, which is different from conventional inkjet nozzles. The body of the nozzle which is fabricated by precision machining techniques is made from transparent acrylic material to visualize the flow inside the nozzle. The piezoelectric actuators are activated by a voltage amplifier which generates high-voltage bipolar waveforms. The k...

This work consists of studying the effect of needle motion of typical single-hole injectors on spray characteristics. Three-dimensional moving mesh simulations have been carried out to calculate the injection process of cylindrical and conical geometries. The CFD analysis includes a numerical model which simulates the effect of cavitation. Results show that the flow within the nozzle and at the...

A system for cold ow testing of an aerospike nozzle has been developed in an e ort to examine the e ectiveness of aerodynamic thrust vectoring and truncated nozzle base bleed. These tests are designed to produce results that will support the design of a system for hot ow testing of the same technologies. Design of a nozzle suitable for testing with reasonable cold-gas mass ow rates and measurea...

We present a simple and inexpensive design for a multichannel effusive oven nozzle which provides improved atomic beam collimation and thus extended oven lifetimes. Using this design, we demonstrate an atomic lithium source suitable for trapped-atom experiments. At a nozzle temperature of 525 °C, the collimated atomic beam flux directly after the nozzle is 1.2 × 10(14) atoms/s with a peak beam ...

We present systematic studies on the absolute density of hydrogen cluster beams produced by using Laval-nozzles. Measurements of the cluster beam density as function of the nozzle temperature and the gas input pressure result in maximum cluster beam densities for cases where the gas is already in a supersaturated state before passing the nozzle. The influence of the gas flow through the nozzle ...

Samplers are characterized at ECBC using the following methods: (1) monodisperse fluorescent/nonfluorescent PSL microspheres with fluorometric analysis or Counter analysis, (2) polydisperse solid aluminum oxide particles with APS analysis or Coulter Multisizer analysis, (3) fluorescent oleic acid particles with fluorometric analysis, and (4) bioparticles with Coulter Multisizer, culturing, ELIS...

Distributions of nitric oxide vibrational temperature, rotational temperature and velocity have been measured in the hypersonic freestream at the exit of a conical nozzle , using planar laser-induced fluorescence. Particular attention has been devoted to reducing the major sources of systematic error that can affect fluorescence temperature measurements, including beam attenuation, transition s...

A numerical study of three-dimensional effects on the performance of a micronozzle fabricated from  at silicon wafers is performed by use of both continuum and kinetic approaches. The nozzle operates in a low-Reynoldsnumber regime, and viscous effects dominate the gas expansion. Thrust losses occur because the shear on the wall is greater in a  at nozzle conŽ guration than in an axisymmetric ...

in this research mass transfer coefficient under jetting regime in different directions (from dispersed to continuous and continuous to dispersed phase) has been studied using an experimental setup. n-butanol-succinic acid-water with low interfacial tension has been selected as experimental chemical system. the effects of various parameters such as jet velocity, nozzle diameter and the height o...

over the last ten years, robustness of schemes has raised an increasing interest among the cfd community. the objective of this article is to solve the quasi-one-dimensional compressible flow inside a “shubin nozzle” and to investigate bean-warming and flux vector splitting methods for numerical solution of compressible flows. two different conditions have been considered: first, there is a sup...
