Conclusions
-
1.
An analytical expression is derived for the drop spheroidization time in the case of atomization into a gas stream.
-
2.
It is shown that the full spheroidization time is composed of the time of drop deformation time in the stream at W > Wcr and the subsequent time of drop spheroidization at W < Wcr.
-
3.
It is further shown that the probability of a drop becoming spheroidized during atomization falls, other things being equal, with increase in drop size.
