The spray characteristics from a pressure-swirl nozzle, a widely used device in agriculture,
combustion and aerospace, have been investigated in this study experimentally with focus …

In this study, we present a fuel-flexible dual-fuel combustor to simultaneously burn methane
and/or straight glycerol without preheating either glycerol or air by utilizing a novel flow …

Glycerol has very high kinematic viscosity and high vaporization and auto-ignition
temperatures, but it has been effectively atomized at room temperature by using a novel flow …

This study demonstrates low-emission combustion of diesel, biodiesel and straight
vegetable oil (VO) in a fuel-flexible combustor employing a flow blurring (FB) injector for fuel …

In this work, we investigate the atomization and spray characteristics of a novel rotary
atomizer with micro-channel grooves, using optical diagnostics. Micro-jets emanate from the …

Spray cooling characteristics of a flow blurring injector are investigated experimentally.
Variations of the flow rates and the distance from the nozzle to the test surface are examined …

We have developed a twin-fluid atomizer for combustion that creates a two-phase mixture of
fuel and atomizing air upstream of the injector exit where a high-pressure region is …

The objective of this study is to develop a theoretical basis for scalability considerations and
design of a large-scale combustor utilizing flow blurring (FB) atomization. FB atomization is a …

The liquid atomization process relies on the disturbance of the liquid surface by various
forces. In the case of “flow-blurring”(FB) atomization, this is achieved by inducing flow …
