The pressure swirl injector with tangential inlet ports is widely used in liquid rocket engine.
Commonly, this type of pressure swirl injector consists of tangential inlet ports, a swirl …

Performance of simplex atomizer has a significant role in determining the quality of the
spray. This article reviews the nozzle geometrical constraints, fluid properties, the injection …

In this study, the effect of aspect ratio of elliptical cross section for a pressure swirl nozzle
injecting into stagnant air was investigated experimentally. Three elliptical nozzles with …

To investigate the effects of oxidizer injection on the performance of hybrid rocket motors
(HRMs), we have designed, manufactured and tested four types of injector: showerhead …

In a gas turbine combustion system, droplet distribution in the combustor directly affects the
combustion process. Fuel droplet size and droplet velocity determine the fuel droplet …

This work is focused on the effect of viscosity on the estimation of liquid sheet thickness and
breakup length of a pressure swirl nozzle that is undergoing fuel temperature variation. The …

To understand the atomization characteristics and atomization mechanism of the gas-liquid
swirl coaxial (GLSC) injector, a back-lighting photography technique has been employed to …

Pressure-swirl jets are of paramount importance in such applications as liquid rockets, gas
turbines, and internal combustion engines. Although the external spray has been …

As far as we are aware, all the previous studies have focused on circular injectors. Here, the
effect of non-circular orifice shape on pressure swirl injector was investigated …

Spray breakup processes of small-scale simplex atomizers have been characterized. With
tangential entry of fuel, the cases of no air flow and concentric co-swirl air flow are …
