This study investigates the effect of the air-to-liquid mass ratio (ALR) on the internal bubbly flow formation that triggers the primary atomization by bubble bursting, and on the secondary atomization by shear layer instabilities. An SB atomizer with a diameter, D, of 1.5 mm, is investigated using high-spatial-resolution Shadowgraph and Particle Image Velocimetry….Continue Reading Effect of the air-to-liquid mass ratio on the internal flow and near-field spray…
Effect of injector swirl number on near-field spray…
This study investigates the effect of injector swirl number (ISN) on spray characteristics including droplet velocity and size distributions in the injector near field (8 mm × 4 mm) using particle image velocimetry and shadowgraph imaging for the SB injectors with diameter of 1.5 mm….Continue Reading Effect of injector swirl number on near-field spray…
Combustion of straight algae oil in a swirl-stabilized burner…
This study investigates the combustion performance of straight algae oil (AO) in a 7-kW lab-scale gas turbine burner enabled by a novel twin-fluid injector, named Swirl-burst (SB) injector….Continue Reading Combustion of straight algae oil in a swirl-stabilized burner…
Development and combustion characterization of a novel twin-fluid…
This study aims to achieve improved fuel prevaporization and fuel-air mixing hence, less-lifted flames and ultimately yield stable, clean, and premixed combustion of viscous fuels using a novel twin-fluid injector, called swirl burst (SB) injector….Continue Reading Development and combustion characterization of a novel twin-fluid…
Investigation of water spray characteristics in the near field…
This study compares the water spray micro-characteristics of FB and SB injectors in the near field of the injector exit at the same flow conditions using high spatial resolution particle image velocimetry and shadowgraph imaging systems….Continue Reading Investigation of water spray characteristics in the near field…
