The process of fuel spray from injection to combustion through atomization and evaporation and its characteristics are observed on this study. Atomized fuel spray and enough penetration are essential for ideal combustion of fuel. Injection behavior and the characteristics of fuel atomization are observed under the condition of changing rpm of fuel pump, injection pressure, back-pressure, density and air temperature with the pintle type nozzle. Also the characteristics of impinging spray are studied with the change of impinging angle as a simple modeling of injection to the combustion chamber.
The results of this experiment can be summarized as follows.
The process of injection is categorized in three part, beginning of injection, break of fuel spray and after break. Fuel spray keeps its speed in the shape of liquid column at the beginning of injection and the speed of its tip is getting slower with atomization and air-spray mixture. The outlined spray is meandering type structure.
Penetration of spray at the beginning of injection increases with the increase of injection pressure and rpm of fuel pump but decreases with the increase of back-pressure and room temperature. Break is begun 0.75ms after injection and the slope of penetration changes at this point, transition point.
Following is the experimental equation for the penetration ratio based on experimental data.

Spray angle is large at the beginning of injection and that is one of the characteristics of pintle type nozzle. It is proportional to the injection pressure, rpm of injection pump, back-pressure, room temperature and gas density. Correlation equation based on experimental one in that is obtained from experimental co-efficient.
Spray tip velocity is small at the beginning of injection then going up rapidly, after breaking it is on the decrease. spray tip velocity increases in condition of the increase of rpm and decreases in condition of the ambient pressure.
After impinged to the plate the structure of impinging spray is stable with the second breaking. In case of high temperature, compared to room temperature atomized fuel flows along the surface. The area of spray tip is changed sphere type by increasing ambient gas density (18→30 kg/m³).
Width of down-stream spray is decrease toward radial direction on the increase of ambient temperature(293→473K) and ambient density.(18→30 kg/m³), With the higher impinging angle, width of down-stream increase more but width of up-stream decreases.
Next is the correlation equation about impingement spray radius ratio in down-stream and thickness based on experimental data.

Height of down-stream spray increases under the condition of low density or large impinging angle. Also in room temperature, the values of h_w on r_w are 0.263, 0.228, 0.22 at the impinging angle of 0˚, 30˚, 45˚ In high temperature, the values of h_w on r_w are 0.253, 0,201, 0.198 as the impinging angle are 0˚, 30˚, 45˚.
