EFFECT OF NON-AXISYMMETRIC INLET PORTS AND OPERATING CONDITIONS ON DROP DYNAMICS OF AN INTERNAL MIXING ATOMIZER
SINOPSIS
The effect of a non-axisymmetric inlet ports configuration of an internal-mixing twin-fluid atomizer on the spray characteristics is experimentally investigated. Inside the atomizer, two water jets are impinged on each other and are further disrupted by a central gas stream coming from the top. The operating conditions consider the variation of the gas mass flow rate at Reynolds and Weber numbers in the order of 104−105. Phase Doppler anemometry (PDA) measurements at four radial, four axial, and two perpendicular azimuthal positions are combined with a patternator device to obtain droplet size, axial velocity, and mass flux distributions. An approach for evaluating the overall spray asymmetry based on the mass flux distributions is proposed, which enabled the detection of slight asymmetries throughout the azimuthal direction, where especially differences in droplet sizes and velocities measured between the two azimuthal positions are observed. Higher Sauter mean diameters (SMDs) and lower velocities in regions of the spray with higher liquid mass flux are observed when compared to the azimuthal position perpendicular to it. In general, the liquid is considerably faster in the spray center than at the boundaries, where the fluctuating component of the velocity is higher due to the interaction of small droplets with the surrounding air. Overall, an increase in the gas flow rate reduces the droplet sizes and increases the velocity across the spray.
