The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00095 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.28 SJR: 0.341 SNIP: 0.536 CiteScore™:: 1.9 H-Index: 57

ABSTRACT

This study concerns experimental investigation of the effect of gas to liquid mass ratio (GLR) on spatial Sauter mean diameter (SMD) distribution, drop size distribution, and near-nozzle spray structure in an airblast spray. A parti- cle/droplet imaging analysis (PDIA) technique is used to measure SMD and drop size distribution at various points in the spray. The near-nozzle microscopic images of spray show the presence of large ligaments and liquid lumps at low GLR conditions. The primary atomization is almost complete within 5 mm below the nozzle tip for GLR 3 and above. Droplets with diameter more than 80 μm are present for GLR 1 and 2 conditions. Uniform spatial SMD distribution in the span of 10 μm is obtained for GLR higher than 3. A new empirical correlation to estimate SMD distribution in an airblast spray is proposed using nondimensional analysis and experimental SMD measurements. The correlation considers influences of operating condition and liquid properties on SMD distribution in airblast spray. The proposed correlation shows good agreement with the measured data.
