“…The performance of a combustor depends on the droplet size produced by the nozzle atomizer and the way in which the air mixes with the droplets [8][9][10][11][12]. Spray formation at a nozzle is dominated by different mechanisms, depending on the relative velocity and the properties of the liquid and the ambient gas [13,14].…”

Abstract:The compatibility of spray characteristics of alternative fuel blends, in relation to currently used Jet A-1 fuel, has been assessed experimentally. Tested blends were selected based on a narrow cut of paraffins, mixed with appropriately selected aromatics and naphthenes. Relevant physical properties including the density, viscosity, and surface tension were estimated first. The jet spray was produced using a single fluid, generic nozzle at operating pressures 5-11 bars. The atomization characteristics were assessed through measurements of droplet velocity field and droplet size, using phase Doppler anemometry. The physical properties varied within 10% of the reference fuel values. The spray results indicate that all tested blends produced similar atomized jets and droplet sizes, although observed differences may influence the implementation of combustion schemes which require precise control of the flow pattern.

“…Chigier et al 29 have shown that significant differences in the velocities for various drop sizes within combustion sprays exist. The drop size of heavy oils tends to be larger, even after heating to 100C.…”
