Various correlations were examined that have been used in | |
the past for predicting mean droplet sizes generated by a | |
single fluid jet. The correlation were compared with semi- | |
quantitative data obtained from spark photographs and | |
from a particle sizing interferometer. Jet properties | |
were investigated for three types of fluids, i.e., water, | |
Hexane, and a moderately energetic liquid monopropellant | |
(LP) used in gun applications. The photographic data are | |
only suitable for a semiquantiative analysis due to | |
severe diffraction problems. Some preliminary low | |
velocity droplet data were obtained with the particle | |
sizing interferometer. The results strongly suggest that | |
all correlations overestimate the droplet size and that | |
the best agreement was obtained from a theoretical | |
analysis by Mayer. Some additional studies were also | |
performed on frictional heating and droplet scattering by | |
an electric field. No evidence of ignition of the liquid | |
monopropellant (LP) from frictional heating was found. | |
Some evidence of droplet scattering by the electric field | |
could be inferred from the photographs. | |
