Study on some Aspects of Breakup Characteristics of Power-Law Fluid with Impinging Jets Based on Mechanics Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

Shear-thinning power-law fluid is a kind of non-Newtonian fluid in which the viscosity is a function of shear rate. Impinging jets system is used to study the breakup characteristics of power-law liquid sheets formed by two symmetrical round jets in this study. High quality images are obtained from the experiment with a high speed camera and breakup length is extracted from the images. Closed-rim sheet, web-like sheet and ligaments sheet are observed with the increase of jet velocity. A series of images show that the wave length on the surface of sheets tends to decline as the jet velocity increases. At a low We number, the breakup length increases with an increasing We number. However, it first increases and then decreases when the liquid sheet breaks up at a high We number. The liquid jets with larger diameter collide to each other and lead to a liquid sheet with a smaller breakup length.
