Further investigation on drop size distribution measurement
Abstract
The extension of an investigation of an atomization drop-size distribution measurement to include the interaction of two sprays, the comparison of drop-size distribution data from an independent mode and Rosin-Rammler distribution fitting, the effect of air temperature on the drop-size measurement by a light scattering technique, and the relationship between obscuration and an atomizer fuel flow rate, is discussed. The apparatus, atomizer, and instrument are described. The results of the investigation of these aspects are presented and some further research needs are identified.
