Abstract: A methodology for the design of effervescent atomizers is described. The objective is to achieve sprays of minimum mean drop size for any stipulated values of liquid flow rate, air supply ...

Abstract: The thermal stability characteristics of two liquid hydrocarbon fuels are examined using a single-pass system whereby the fuel under test flows only once through a heated tube which is maintained ...

Abstract: Satisfactory performance of the gas turbine combustor relies on the careful design of various components, particularly the fuel injector. It is, therefore, essential to establish a fundamental ...

Abstract: Previously developed calculation procedures [1, 2] based on evaporation analysis are used to predict the variation of JP-5 fuel spray characteristics (mean drop diameter, Dm , and drop-size ...

Abstract: The variation of spray characteristics (Sauter Mean Diameter and Rosin-Rammler drop-size distribution parameter) downstream of a pressure swirl atomizer along radial distance has been measured by ...

Abstract: Further experimental research has been carried out on the ignition improvement by oxygen addition in a small pilot combustion chamber taken from an existing aeroengine. Both uniform mixture ...

Abstract: The thermal stability characteristics of four kerosine-type fuels are examined using a heated-tube apparatus that allows independent control of fuel pressure, fuel temperature, tube-wall temperature, ...

Abstract: The present paper is a step further and a modification of the semiempirical analysis of liquid fuel distribution downstream of a plain orifice injector proposed previously [1]. It has been ...

Abstract: An analytical study is made of the factors that are responsible for the observed changes in fuel spray characteristics with axial distance downstream of a pressure-swirl nozzle. To simplify the ...
