Abstract
Summary The evaporation of liquid sprays is examined theoretically using the known law of size distribution in a spray and an experimental law concerning the effect of size on the evaporation of singie droplets. The investigation is concerned not with the mechanism of evaporation, but only with the effects of size and distribution. The mean diameter and rate of evaporation of given distributions are evaluated, and also the variation of the volume of a spray as evaporation proceeds, for all sprays likely to be met with in practice. The effect of distribution on combustion intensity is discussed, and the investigation shows what characteristics are desirable in a spray from the point of view of combustion. The data sheets provided should assist in correlating experimental evidence of the effects of atomiser characteristics on combustion losses and flame length, etc.
