Abstract

Average intact lengths of round liquid jets generated by airblast coaxial atomizers were measured from over 1500 photographs. The intact lengths were studied over a jet Reynolds number range of 18 000 and Weber number range of 260. Results are presented for two different nozzle geometries. The intact lengths were found to be strongly dependent on Re and We numbers. An empirical equation was derived as a function of these parameters. A comparison of the intact lengths for round jets and flat sheets shows that round jets generate shorter intact lengths.
