Abstract

The atomization of jet streams from circular orifices, 279, 483, and 1016 microns in diameter, was measured under operating pressures less than 5 psi. The jet streams disintegrated into uniform large drops approximately twice the diameter of the jet orifice, and small drops making up less than 1% of the liquid volume from the small jet. About 80% of the spray from a jet discharging horizontally was deposited in a band 2 inches wide. The distribution pattern of horizontal jet streams positioned on a 2 inch spacing was improved by angling the jet streams 10–15° from the direction of travel.
