An experimental work to investigate the swirl spray characteristics that emanates from hollow–cone and solid–cone spray simplex atomizers is presented. Main objective of the research is to investigate the spray characteristics, i.e. spray breakup length, discharge coefficient and spray cone angle at different nozzle orifice diameter and injection pressure. Discharge coefficient is almost uninfluenced by the operating Reynolds number. This test also reveals that both breakup length and spray cone angle increases as orifice diameter is increased. Higher injection pressure leads to shorter breakup length and wider spray cone angle.References
