The spray from an airblast atomizer was investigated by the Phase-Doppler technique. The drop size-velocity data determined the properties of the gas and droplet phases. Formulae to estimate mean diameters and size distributions of sprays were evaluated. The Gamma PDF described most accurately the size distribution of the spray.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
