Abstract
A study was conducted to critically review and evaluate literature in the field of atomization. The literature survey yielded 955 pertinent references which have been summarized together with abstracts where available. The more important correlations presented in the literature for the various mechanical atomizing techniques (hydraulic or pressure, pneumatic or two-fluid, and rotary or spinning disk) have been summarized and analyzed. The best agreement was shown by the data for hydraulic swirl nozzles, where discrepancies were nominally not over twofold to threefold. The largest discrepancies, tenfold in some cases, were found for simple hydraulic nozzles. A large part of the discrepancy is attributed to shortcomings in the drop size analysis techniques, including sampling.Keywords
