Effect of air, liquid and injector geometry variables upon the performance of a plain-jet airblast atomizer
Abstract
Plain air jet air blast atomizer design is undertaken, on the basis of an examination of the breakup characteristics of a discrete liquid jet that is injected into a high velocity cross-flowing airstream, where the variables considered are airstream velocity, liquid jet velocity, injection orifice diameter, liquid viscosity, and liquid surface tension. Tests were conducted in normal atmospheric pressure and temperature conditions, using a laser light scattering technique for mean drop size determination.
