| Abstract: | Experiments were carried out to study the stability of jets in immiscible liquid systems under conditions where the jet velocity relative to continuous phase was zero. The laminar breakup lengths and the diameter of drops formed from laminar jets are in good agreement with the stability analysis for stationary column while breakup data for jets injected into quiescent liquids disagree with it. An approximate solution for theoretical drop size is presented. The experiment also showed that the hydrodynamic resistance of continuous phase increases the growth rate of disturbances but does not affect the wave length. |
