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

An experimental investigation of the primary breakup and spray characteristics of a rotary atomizer with round radial discharge channels operating in the Coriolis-induced stream-mode injection was conducted. A high-magnification shadow imaging technique with pulsed backlight illumination was used for spray visualization. The effect of the rotational speed and volume flow rate variations was studied on the breakup structure. The length of the rotary atomizer's discharge channels is long enough to accumulate the liquid film on one side of it due to the Coriolis acceleration. The observations showed that the liquid stream issues from the atomizer orifice as a liquid column or a thin liquid sheet depending on the atomizer operating condition. It was found that the aerodynamic Weber number and Coriolis Bond number determine the state of the initial liquid stream. Different breakup modes such as Rayleigh, bag, column, ligament, and shear breakup were observed. A breakup mode map is presented based on two nondimensional parameters, the aerodynamic Weber number and the liquid-to-air momentum flux ratio. The breakup mode map was compared with the results obtained in the previous study for the radial-axial type of discharge channel. The results indicate that the orientation of the discharge channel with respect to the radial direction can affect the breakup modes in an aerodynamic Weber number less than 30. To evaluate the spray quality of this type of atomizer, the droplet size and Sauter mean diameter (SMD) value have been measured at different operating conditions by the particle/droplet imaging analysis (PDIA) technique. The results indicate that the droplet size primarily depends on the Weber number and liquid-to-air momentum flux ratio.
