A dispersion of a droplet flow on crossing wires in an air counterflow

Liquid dispersion on a wire mesh is phenomenon that utilized in many industrial applications, such as rotating packed beds. It very simple method of liquid atomization without need for complex nozzles. This research focuses an elementary case crossing two wires. Experiments were carried out wind tunnel to elucidate the influence counterflow air velocity sheet and droplets. High-speed camera was used capture impact droplets crossing. Images then processed using MATLAB® addon PIVlab. The effect input parameters, including flow rate range 3.8 12 kg/h varying from 0 9 m/s angle dispersed downstream crossing, investigated. Finally, qualitative description evaluated. Results show with increasing rate, wider angle. On other hand, significant only low rates. determined by number small droplets, better higher
