Abstract
The chapter presents an analysis of the effect of the swirl chamber of atomizer on the liquid atomization process. Atomization is a process, which involves the conversion of liquid to form an aerosol. Atomization occurs in atomizers. Atomizers have not only different sizes but also the presence of a core-hole. The paper presents experimental results obtained for the modified pressure-swirl atomizers. Examined factors are pressure drop, discharge coefficient and spray angle.
