On the Application of High Frequency Sound in Fuel Oil Burners

摘要

The paper deals with the possibility of applying high frequency sound for the atomisation and combustion of fuel oils. The suitability of sound generators as fuel atomisers is discussed. The two aerodynamic generators with a great potential--the vortex whistle and the stem jet whistle are described. Some data from the preliminary experiments on the vortex whistle are presented. Optimum parameters for sound generation obtained from these data have led to the design of an acoustic oil burner. The probable effects of the high frequency sound on the atomisation and burning of liquid fuels are indicated. (Author)
