Effect of Orifice Diameter on Characteristics of Hollow Cone Swirl Spray Emanating from Simplex Nozzles

摘要

The paper reports on experimental work to investigate the swirl spray characteristics that emanates from simplex atomizers. Main objective of the research is to investigate the effect of orifice diameter on the spray cone angle, spray breakup length and discharge coefficient at different injection pressure. Discharge coefficient is almost uninfluenced by the operating Reynolds number. This test also reveals that both breakup length and spray cone angle increases as orifice diameter is increased. Higher injection pressure leads to shorter breakup length and wider spray cone angle.
