"This article presents some results dealing with effects of atomizer types on mean droplet size and pulse detonation engine (PDE) performance. The plain-orifice injector and twin-fluid air-assist atomizer were located at the head-end of a PDE mockup to inject gasoline, which was used as the liquid fuel," scientists in Xian, People's Republic of China report.
"A particle size meter based on laser light scattering was employed to measure mean droplet size. The curves of mean droplet size versus gasoline flux and gasoline/air ratio are obtained. The twin-fluid air-assist atomizer can produce much smaller mean droplet size than the plain-orifice injector. The air was ...
