MODELING ON THE BREAKUP OF VISCO-ELASTIC LIQUID FOR EFFERVESCENT ATOMIZATION

Abstract

A primary atomization model for visco-elastic liquid is established based on the igament formation assumption and dispersion relationships. Two linear instability nalyses are used in presented paper. Both of them are involved in the primary tomization model and the calculated results are compared with published xperimental data. After validation, the model is used to predict the effects of various perating conditions and visco-elastic liquid physical properties on atomization erformance.
