Atomization of liquid sheets in high pressure airflow
Abstract
An investigation of liquid sheet atomization is made with combustor simulated inlet air pressures varied from 0.10 to 2.1 MPa. Mean drop diameters are measured with an improved scanning radiometer and correlated with the liquid and air stream Reynolds numbers, RE(1) and RE(A) and the airstream pressure sensitive group GC(2). These data are used in the modeling of the combustion process.
