Abstract

The mean droplet diameter in the spray resulting from transverse injection of liquid jets into a supersonic airstream was investigated in detail by the use of the Diffractively Scattered Light Method. The effects of viscosity, surface tension, jet/free airstream dynamic pressure ratio, injection diameter and location in the plume on the mean droplet diameter were determined. All tests were performed at M// infinity equals 3. 0 with P//o equals 4. 2 atm. and T//Q equals 300 degree K. The injectants used were water and various solutions of glycerine and ethanol in water to produce wide variations in viscosity and surface tension. The important results are summarized.
