Processes occurring in a coolant spray cone

The study considers generation of a dispersed coolant flow; the size distribution of droplets in the flow depending on the flow rate, pressure, and thermophysical properties of the coolant; the breakup and coagulation of droplets; and droplet size ranges resistant to breakup. A computer code for calculating the evolution of the spray cone parameters was developed based on the momentum equation and distribution of droplets along the radius in the flow at the atomizer nozzle.
