Rotary Atomizer Drop Size Distribution Database
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wind tunnel measurements of drop size distributions from Micronair AU4000 and AU5000 rotary atomizers were collected to develop a database for model use. The measurements varied tank mix, flow rate, air speed, and blade angle conditions, which were correlated by multiple regressions (average R2 = 0.995 for AU4000 and 0.988 for AU5000). This database replaces an outdated set of rotary atomizer data measured in the 1980s by the USDA Forest Service and fills in a gap in data measured in the 1990s by the Spray Drift Task Force. Since current USDA Forest Service spray projects rely on rotary atomizers, the creation of the database (and its multiple regression interpolation) satisfies a need seen for ten years.

Effervescent atomizer produced sprays were studied for application to rotary kiln incinerators. The sprays were characterized by their number averaged droplet velocity profiles, Sauter mean diameter (SMD) profiles, and size-velocity correlations. Spray mass flow rates ranged from 30 to 120 g/s. Air-liquid-ratios by mass (ALRs) were between 2% and 10%. Data were obtained at seven to ten radial p...

The current study focuses on comprehensive fuel spray modeling and its effects on chamber acoustics in combustion dynamics simulations. The fuel spray is modeled using an Eulerian-Lagrangian approach describing the atomizer internal flow, primary atomization, and secondary atomization processes. To anchor the fuel spray model, a series of experiments has been conducted on the fuel atomizer with...

In this paper, the effect of atomizer geometry on the flow in simplex atomizers and atomizer performance is numerically investigated. A computational model based on the Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian method has been used. The effect of changes in four non-dimensional geometric parameters on the atomizer performance is studied. These geometric parameters are the atomizer constant (ratio of inlet ...
