Abstract
The spray characteristics of pneumatic atomizers are examined using hot film anemometry. Measurements of drop size distribution, concentration profile and drop frequency are carried out over wide ranges of relative position between air peripheral jet exit and the concentric water nozzle exit. The objective is to clarify the role of turbulence in producing a wide spectrum of particle sizes and numbers in the spray. The output signal from hot film contained multispikes with different amplitudes and thickness which has been correlated to the drop number density and the droplet size through the use of probability density function. Generally it is found that an increase of the guide relative position enhances the mixing process and produces finer spray. This is attributed to the utilization of high wave number eddies in shortening the liquid jet break up length.
