Abstract

AbstractThe spray properties of most practical importance, namely mean drop size, drop size distribution, radial and circumferential liquid distribution, cone angle and penetration, are discussed in the context of plain orifice, pressure‐swirl, plain‐jet airblast and prefilming airblast atomization. Equations are presented for estimating mean drop size and spray cone angle in terms of the relevant liquid properties, gas properties, atomizer dimensions, and atomizer operating conditions. The relative merits of these equations are discussed and compared. Some aspects of atomization in need of further research are indicated.
