An increased liquid flow rate causes a somewhat decreased droplet size: For a given liquid, increased mass flow rate leads to higher pressure drop in the atomizer, which decreases liquid sheet size and breakup length to yield smaller particles as can be seen when compared with Fig. 4.18. At the cross section of 0.12 m, it can be seen that DQMOM performs better than the DDM results as DDM overpredicts the experimental values. The scattering behavior of DQMOM simulation results near the centerline is observed in this case, too. As the droplets move to the next cross section, a decrease in large size droplets is evident, which is predicted by both DQMOM and DDM. The results show that the DQMOM shows better agreement with experiment, while DDM predicts somewhat higher values than the experiment at corresponding radial positions [205]. The overall shape of a hollow cone spray is captured quite nicely by both methods, although some deviations are observed, particularly in DQMOM as compared to experimental profile. This is possibly due to the post-processing of the experimental data as explained in Subsection 4.2.2, which is done to correct the number frequency at every measuring position to rule out the fluctuations in the effective cross sectional area of the measuring volume for the larger droplet sizes [207]. This correction of experimental data is position dependent, whereas DQMOM and DDM results account for these corrections for the initial condition but not at positions further downstream. Another reason for the discrepancies in the DQMOM results may be due to the fact that the spray equations are not yet fully coupled to the gas phase.
4.2. Two-dimensional Evaporating Water Spray in Air 73 Comparing the maximum values of the Sauter mean diameter at the two cross sections displayed in Figs. 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20, a decrease in large size droplets is observed as the droplets move away from the nozzle. Even though the process of evaporation is consi<strong>der</strong>ed in the present models, the major reason for the decrease in droplet size may be attributed to the influence of drag force applied by the surrounding gas, because significant evaporation may not occur at the present room temperature condition. This decrease is more evident in the large droplet size region, where the dynamic interaction of droplet with surrounding gas dominates, as observed in profiles of mean droplet velocity (see Figs. 4.23 and 4.24). Besides the Sauter mean diameter, in many technical applications such as particle size analysis of pow<strong>der</strong> sampling in food and pharmaceutical industries, the mean droplet diameter is an important physical quantity [201]. Radial profiles of the mean droplet diameter compared with experiment are shown in Fig. 4.21 for 80 kg/h at 0.12 m (left) and 0.16 m (right) distance away from nozzle. DDM results are in very good agreement with the experiment. A slight decrease in the mean droplet diameter is observed as the droplets move away from nozzle indicating some mass transfer from liquid to gas, which is attributable to gas–liquid interactions. The DQMOM results are in excellent agreement with experiment at the cross section of 0.12 m near the centerline, and DQMOM results show better agreement than DDM results (see left part of Fig. 4.21). At 75 mm radial position, the DQMOM results are below experimental values, which may stem from the explicit finite difference technique. At the cross section of 0.16 m, a good agreement is observed between DQMOM and experiment near the axis of symmetry, even though some scattering behavior is found (see right 100 100 Mean droplet diameter [µm] 80 60 40 20 DQMOM DDM Experiment Mean droplet diameter [µm] 80 60 40 20 DQMOM DDM Experiment 0 -100 -50 0 50 100 Radial position [mm] 0 -100 -50 0 50 100 Radial Position [mm] Fig. 4.21: Experimental and numerical profiles of the mean droplet diameter of water spray with 80 kg/h liquid flow rate at the cross section of 0.12 m (left) and 0.16 m (right) distance from the nozzle exit.
