INFLUENCE OF COAXIAL SWIRLING LIQUID FLOW ON INTERNAL MIXING AIR-ASSISTED ATOMIZER

Effervescent atomizer: influence of the internal geometry on atomization performance

Our work is being conducted with the aim to develop an effervescent atomizer for industrial burners that will generate a fine and stable spray in large turn-down ratio. The single-hole, plain orifice atomizer is powered with light heating oil and uses air as an atomizing medium in the “outside-in” gas injection configuration. Published design concepts of the effervescent atomizer are described....

Spray Characteristics of a Liquid-Liquid Coaxial Swirl Atomizer at Different Mass Flux Ratios

An experimental investigation is performed to explore the characteristics of sprays produced by a liquid-liquid coaxial swirl injector in a non-combusting environment. Phase Doppler anemometry is used for the measurement of velocity and Sauter mean diameter of droplets across and along the injection axis for various innerand outer mass flow rates. Results of the combined spray are compared with...

Large-Eddy Simulations of Fuel-Air Mixing and Chemical Reactions in Swirling Flow Combustor

A Study of Flow and Mixing in Bubbly Gas-Liquid Pipe Flow Generated by a Grid

The spreading of a tracer in a bubbly two-phase grid-generated turbulent flow system is studied. In this work both particle image velocimetry (PIV) and planer laser-induced <span style="font-size: 10pt...

Influence of Thermal Radiation Models on Prediction of Reactive Swirling Methane/Air Flame in a Model Gas Turbine Combustor

 A numerical simulation of reactive swirling methane/air non-premixed flame in a new three-dimensional model combustion chamber is carried out to assess the performance of two thermal radiation models, namely, the Discrete Transfer Radiation Model and the P-1 Model. A Finite Volume staggered grid approach is employed to solve the governing equations.The second-order upwind scheme is applied for...
