Measurement of instantaneous density distribution of the shock-cell structure of an underexpanded supersonic microjet escaping into an ambient space from an axisymmetric convergent-divergent (Laval) micro nozzle has been conducted. For 3D observation of supersonic microjet, non-scanning 3D-CT technique using a multi-directional quantitative schlieren system with flash light source is employed. In this technique, for simultaneous schlieren photography, the custom-made 20-directional schlieren camera has been constructed and used. This study examines underexpanded supersonic jet from a micro nozzle with nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) 5.0 and plenum chamber pressure (stagnation pressure) 0.505 MPa. This micro nozzle design Mach number is Md = 1.5 and has circular cross-section with an exit diameter of 1000μm. First, the report deals with the density distribution. The density contour plot data of the jet flow is obtained by 3D-CT (Three Dimensional Computer Tomography) reconstruction of the images by MLEM an appropriate CT algorithm. Next, the density distribution data is calculated by formula. Theoretical results based on the theory of Tam (1984) are found to compare favorably with experimental measurement. The measured and calculated results are in acceptable agreement.

A novel rotational internal combustion engine is invented and investigated for APU(Auxiliary power unit) of aircrafts and range-extender-power-unit for electric automobiles. For the applications, IC engines are required vibration-free characteristics. In the present engine, no reciprocating component is used, resulting in vibration-free operation. This engine mainly consists of a rotor casing, a rotor and a crank shaft. The rotor shapes as single lobe peritrochoid (S.L.P.) curve. The rotor rotates by the crank shaft of eccentricity e and rotates itself in counter-direction by phasing gears. The rotor casing shape having two cavities is defined as envelope curve of the rotating single-lobe peritrochoid rotor. The room between the rotor and casing performs the working processes for working gas; intake, compression, ignition, expansion and exhaust processes. The intake of premixed gas of air and fuel and exhaust of burnt gas are controlled by rotary valves installed on the combustion recesses of the rotor-casing. The combustion recesses are equipped with spark-electrodes for ignition. One of advantages of this engine compared with Wankel rotary engines and a previous engine invented by authors, is easy and reliable sealing of working gas. In this engine configuration, that is, a sealing component is only installed on waist section of rotor-casing, instead of complex sealing system on a rotor in case of Wankel engines, resulting in high efficiency by low-leakage of working gas.
In this paper, first, configuration and geometries of this engine are described. Next the prototype engine is introduced and the cyclic behavior of the working process of this prototype engine is explained. Performance of the prototype engine driven by an electric motor is also shown. -

The rainbow schlieren deflectometry is applied for the slightly underexpanded jet issued from an axisymmetric supersonic micro nozzle with a design Mach number of 1.5. The nozzle was designed by the axisymmetric method of characteristics to provide uniform and parallel flow at the nozzle exit and it has inner diameters of 922 m and 1000 m at the nozzle throat and the exit, respectively, and a longitudinal length of 1300 m from throat to exit. The experiment was performed at a nozzle pressure ratio of 4.0 and a throat Reynolds number of 5.84 x 104. The jet density field is reconstructed by the image analysis based upon the Abel inversion of experimental data. The density contour map on the cross-section including the jet centerline is displayed to observe the gross features of micro supersonic jets. The vortex-sheet model on the shock cell structure proposed by Tam is used for a quantitative comparison between experiment and theory.

For 3D observation of high speed flames, non-scanning 3D-CT technique using a multi-directional quantitative schlieren system with flash light source, is proposed for instantaneous density distribution of unsteady premixed flames. This "Schlieren 3D-CT" is based on (i)simultaneous acquisition of flash-light schlieren images taken from numerous directions, and (ii) 3D-CT reconstruction of the images by an appropriate CT algorithm. In this technique, for simultaneous schlieren photography, the custom-made 20-directional schlieren camera has been constructed and used. This camera consists of 20 optical systems of single-directional quantitative schlieren system. Each system is composed of two convex achromatic lenses of 50 mm in diameter and 300 mm in focal length, a light source unit, a schlieren stop of a vertical knife edge and a digital camera. The light unit has a flash (9 micro-sec duration) light source of a uniform luminance rectangular area of 1 mm x 1 mm. Both of the uniformity of the luminosity and the definite shape are essential for a quantitative schlieren observation. Sensitivity of the digital cameras are calibrated with a stepped neutral density filter. Target flames are located at the center of the camera. The image set of 20 directional schlieren images are processed as follows. First the schlieren picture brightness is shifted by no-flame-schlieren picture brightness in order to obtain the real schlieren brightness images. Second, brightness of these images is scaled by Gladstone-Dale constant of air. Finally, the scaled brightness is horizontally integrated to form "density thickness images", which can be used for CT reconstruction of density distribution. The density thickness images are used for CT reconstruction by MLEM (maximum likelihood-expectation maximization) CT-algorithm to obtain the 3D reconstruction of instantaneous density distribution. In this investigation, the "density thickness" projection images of 400(H) x 500(V) pixel (32.0 mm x 40.0 mm) are used for 3D-CT reconstruction to produce 3D data of 400(x) x 400(y) x 500(z) pixel (32.0 mm x 32.0 mm x 40.0 mm). The voxel size is 0.08 mm each direction. In this investigation, the target flame is spark-ignited flame kernels. The flame kernels are made by spark ignition for a fuel-rich propane-air premixed gas. First, laminar flow is selected as the premixed gas flow to establish the spherically expanding laminar flame. The CT reconstruction result show the spherical shape of flame kernel with a pair of deep wrinkles. The wrinkle is considered to be caused by spark electrodes. Next turbulent flows behind turbulence promoting grid is selected. The corrugated shape flame kernel is obtained. The schlieren 3D-CT measurements are made for the complicated kernels. CT results expresses the instantaneous 3D turbulent flame kernel shapes.

Next, with custom-made 20 directional schlieren camera, instantaneous density distributions of a high-speed turbulent flames of nozzle exit velocities of 8.0 and 10.0 m/s has been CT-reconstructed. The 3D-views of the reconstructed flame front shape clearly give the information of the flame structure with fine scale corrugations. Based on the distributions, area-enlargement rates of the flame front area are derived, and investigated.

Non-scanning 3D-CT(Computer Tomography) technique employing a multi-directional quantitative schlieren photographic system(top-left picture) with flash light source, has been performed to obtain instantaneous density distributions of high-speed turbulent flames(for reference, the target flame of 8 m/s exit velocity is indicated in the right-top picture). For simultaneous schlieren photography, the custom-made 20-directional schlieren camera was constructed and used. The target turbulent flame is high-speed flames, anchored on the burner of a nozzle exit of 4.2 mm diameter. The image set of 20 directional schlieren images are processed by MLEM CT-algorithm to obtain the 3D reconstruction of instantaneous density distribution. The solid models(bottom picture) of threshold density level of 0.7 kg/m3 are 3D-printed as 4 times large size for detail observations. The average exit velocity of the propane-air mixture of equivalence ratio of 1.1 is set to be 10, 8, 6 and 4 m/s (models from left to right in the bottom picture). The solid models show the complicated shape of the high speed turbulent flames. The flame structure of higher speed flame has fine scale corrugations. This corresponds to the “corrugated flamelets regime” of the Borghi & Peters diagram well.

In order to anchor the high-speed flame on the burner nozzle, the burner tip has 4 holes for introducing the pilot flames. Results of the 3D-reconstructions indicates that the distributions show the complicated shape of the high speed turbulent flames. It is also found that the flame structure of higher speed flame has fine scale corrugations. This corresponds to the "corrugated flamelets regime" of the Borghi & Peters diagram for premixed turbulent combustion well.
