✦ Synopsis

This work addresses the development of a mathematical model to predict the joint distribution for both size and velocity of the droplets in sprays, based on the maximum entropy formalism. Using this joint distribution, models to obtain separated distributions for size and velocity of sprays are also presented. Correlations for the average velocity for both pressure jet and airblast atomisers, based on assumed pro®les in the atomiser gun, are obtained as a function of easily measurable parameters. Several distributions for different types of atomisers are then predicted. Agreement between available data for the velocity distribution and the corresponding predictions is satisfactory.

The burning velocity of open inverted-cone shaped kerosene-air sprays was measured at constant air-fuel ratio and for several degrees of atomization of the spray. The results show that as the degree of atomization in the spray increases, the burning velocity first increases to a maximum value, and t
