Influence of the Surface Tension of a Liquid on the Characteristics of the Cone of Its Spraying by an Ejection Atomizer
摘要
Novel experimental data have been presented on the influence of the surface tension of a liquid on the dispersity of droplets in the spray cone of an ejection atomizer with forward and swirling gas feeds. The droplet-size distributions were measured with the optical method of small angles of the indicatrix of scattering. A decrease of nearly 10–17% in the median diameter of droplets of distilled water in the spray cone has been demonstrated with reduction in the coefficient of surface tension of water as a result of adding surfactants to it.
