Abstract
The effects of external vibrations on the disintegration of a liquid jet are described. Conditions for the formation of uniformly sized drops are discussed and results presented to illustrate the effect of amplitude and frequency of vibration on the drop size and break‐up length of the jet. Liquids of various viscosity have been studied, 60‐1400 c.p., and the results compared with existing theories.This method can be used with standard pressure nozzles and may be of use in research experiments when dispersions of uniform drops are required. It also has application in the formation of uniform prills.Keywords
