The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00095 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.28 SJR: 0.341 SNIP: 0.536 CiteScore™:: 1.9 H-Index: 57

ABSTRACT

The principal factors governing the mean drop sizes produced by twin-fluid atomizers are examined. It is shown that atomization may occur by one of two different mechanisms. For both "classical" and "prompt" modes of atomization, the principal factors governing the fineness of atomization are air velocity, air/liquid ratio, and surface tension. For the classical mechanism of breakup, involving flow instabilities and wave formation, atomization occurs slowly and is strongly influenced by variations in liquid viscosity, air density, and the initial diameter (or thickness) of the liquid jet (or sheet). If atomization occurs very rapidly, these parameters have little effect on mean drop size.
