A visual study on the spray of gas-liquid atomizer
Abstract
A Visual investigation of spray cone angle for different air-blast atomizers and flow conditions is described. Liquid jets are exposed to high gas stream with specific relative angle. Using high speed camera, spray cone angle over a range of Reynolds number 4x104 to 9x104 and Weber number 1 to 140 is studied, followed by laser-based diagnosis of particle distribution and Sauter mean diameter. The results show that for high Reynolds and Weber number, the cone angle is independent of flow condition, and is only dependent on geometry of atomizer, including orifice diameter with significant effect on cone angle, Sauter mean diameter and particle distribution
