시뮬레이션을 이용한 암모니아, 에탄올, 노말데케인 분무 특성 비교 = Comparison of spray characteristics for ammonia, ethanol, n-decane by using numerical simulation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Due to increasingly strict emission regulations for carbon-based fuels in the shipping industry, there is a significant motivation to investigate the alternative fuel. Ammonia is one of the attractive alternative fuels as a carbon-free fuel. Since ammonia has different properties such as high vapor pressure and low boiling point compared to conventional fuels, further research into ammonia spray behavior is important. In this work, the spray characteristics of ammonia and other fluids (ethanol, n-decane) were compared by using numerical simulation. The results show that the spray characteristics of ammonia differs from those of the others due to the occurrence of flash boiling.
The narrow-dispersed spray with accelerated velocity at the center have been observed for ammonia.
It is also found that droplets of ammonia achieve smaller diameter with more uniform distribution, leading to better atomization behavior compared to the others.
