Abstract

Based on the suggested atomisation theory for the swirl spray conical film, the formula for the spray angle characteristic of pressure swirl spray atomisation,θ=tg−12·(1−Φ) is derived from the relation of acting forces in swirl spray.

The spray angle characteristics of swirl spray are worked out with various formulas and compared with actual test data. The results show that the derived formulas for spray angle in this article agree comparatively well with the results from experiments, and that the expressions are simple. They are of definite value in practice.
