Effect of liquid viscosity and surface tension on atomization of cross injecting sprays
Abstract
Experimental investigations have been established to predict an effect of liquid viscosity and surface tension on the droplet size distribution of cross injecting sprays into an air stream as a principal method of fuel atomization. A laser diffraction particle analyzing technique is used to measure the Sauter mean diameter (SMD) of sprays spatially. Atomization characteristics were determined for four injected liquids, the air stream flow rate, the liquid flow rate, the orifice nozzle diameter, and the measurement location. The drop size data demonstrate that SMD can be predicted from the gas Reynolds number, the liquid Reynolds number, the Weber number, the gas-to-liquid velocity ratio and the density ratio, and the x and y position as: []
