Summary

The partially frozen oil droplet is composed of a frozen outer shell and unfrozen central core. As a result, it was found that the solidification fraction of the frozen oil droplets, increases with a decrease in injection oil temperature and water solution temperature. However, under a lower temperature condition, the injected oil freezes at the outlet of the nozzle, and the solidification fraction reduces with a decrease in injection oil temperature and water solution temperature. A method of data reduction for the solidification fraction is proposed and non-dimensional empirical equations to predict the solidification fraction are proposed in the study.
