Abstract

A rotary atomizer can produce sprays with narrow ranges of drop size either by forming drops directly at its edge, or by the disintegration of liquid ligaments formed from the edge. Ligament formation occurs at higher flow rates than direct drop formation and can produce enough spray to make the use of spinning discs for applying 50 1/ha from a tractor-mounted sprayer a practical possibility. A study of the process is reported, including criteria for its occurrence and an expression for the prediction of drop size is developed.
