Original Abstract

A systematic investigation was made on the differences in atomizing performance among several crude-oil based fuels and water in a small pressure-swirl atomizer. The atomizer performance is characterized in terms of discharge coefficient, Sauter mean diameter and nozzle efficiency. Phase-Doppler anemometry was used to document the mean structure of the developed spray and provides information about droplets sizes and velocities. A strong dependence of liquid viscosity on the mass flow rate through the atomizer as well as on the spray quality was found and discussed with relevant literature.
