Measurement of spray characteristics using optical measurement methods
Ďurdina, Lukáš ; Otáhal, Jan (oponent) ; Jedelský, Jan (vedoucí práce)
The present thesis deals with measurement of spray characteristics of two pressure–swirl atomizers for a combustion chamber of a small–sized jet engine investigated on a cold test bench by means of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Phase-Doppler Anemometry (PDA). The aim of these measurements is to investigate and compare the spray characteristics of these nozzles in order to elucidate the possible impacts of the design change on the nozzle operation in the combustion chamber. The theoretical part deals with fundamental concepts of liquid atomization, design and performance of pressure–swirl atomizers and description of principles of the used laser diagnostic techniques. Next part describes design and operation of the test bench. The experimental part is devoted to experimental set-up and digital image processing and post–processing techniques of the gathered data. Results contain velocity vector fields, axial velocity profiles and droplet size distributions for various operating conditions of both nozzles.

Experimental study of spray characteristics and functionality of small pressure-swirl atomizers
Malý, Milan ; Lízal, František (oponent) ; Jedelský, Jan (vedoucí práce)
The present master thesis deals with an experimental study of spray characteristics from several small pressure-swirl atomizers used in a combustion chamber of turbojet aircraft engine. For decades, attention has been paid to improvement of their atomization characteristics but still there are possibilities which have not been examined yet. Investigations were carried out using various geometries of the individual elements of atomizer to find their effect on the spray. Measurements were made using a different number of entry ports (2, 3 and 4), various swirl chamber shapes (hemispheric; conical; curved convex and flat conical), and different spill-line orifice designs (axial and off-axis). Emphasis was placed on the assessment of spray stability wherein the fluctuating spray negatively affects the operating characteristics of the combustion chamber. Spray characteristics were probed using Phase Doppler analyser, spray circumferential homogeneity was rated by mechanical patternator and the liquid breakup was imaged by simple laser shadowgraph.
