momentum of each droplet. This explanation seems reasonable for convergent nozzles. Though the droplet size distribution was not measured in this study, the following additional predictions could be made from the experimental results.
Figure 5.1.2: Spray tip penetration at 300 K ambient temperature with nozzle D: (a) mbient pressure effect 1.5 ms injection duration, 50 MPa injection pressure, (b) injection pressure effect 3 MPa ambient pressure, 0,6 ms injection duration
Figure 5.1.3: Spray tip penetrations at 300 K ambient temperature (a) Injection duration effect, experimental results with nozzle D, 3 MPa ambient pressure, 120 MPa injection pressure; (b) nozzle type effect: 3 MPa ambient pressure, 1,5 ms injection duration, 120 MPa injection pressure
