SOME MEASUREMENTS ON THE VELOCITIES OF DROPS IN WATER SPRAYS

Stark, G.W., 1957. SOME MEASUREMENTS ON THE VELOCITIES OF DROPS IN WATER SPRAYS. Fire Research Notes 302


ABSTRACT

The velocities of drops in water sprays generated by impinging jet batteries have been measured. The velocities of drops from 0.133mm to 0.600mm were substantially independent of the pressure at the jets and rate of flow, and the relation between drop size and velocity may be expressed by a simple equation.
