EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF FUEL-ATOMIZATION QUALITY FROM HIGH- CAPACITY CENTRIFUGAL SPRAY NOZZLES (EKSPERIMENTALNOE OPREDELENIE KACHESTVA RASPYLIVANIYA TOPLIVA TSENTROBEZHNYMI FORSUNKAMI BOLSHOI PROIZVODITELNOSTI)

Abstract

An experimental determination was made of the quality of fuel (solar oil) atomization by large capacity (1500 kg/hr) swirl injectors. In the experiments, the pressure before the nozzle was varied from 5 to 60 kg/sq cm, kinematic viscosity of the fuel from 0.04 to 0.4 sq cm/sec, fuel flow rate from 123 to 1322 kg/hr, and Reynolds number from 1640 to 18,280. The quality of atomization was determined by measuring the droplet imprints on a plate coated with solar oil soot 0.5 to 0.7 mm thick. The obtained results are shown. The formula d sub k/d sub e = 18.3/Re to the 0.59 power can be used for calculating the quality of fuel atomization.
