Jet Breakup and Pinch-Off in Liquid-Liquid Systems
Abstract
An experimental study of jet breakup in immiscible liquid-liquid systems has been performed. The present study focuses on capturing and quantifying the breakup and pinch-off of a liquid jet when injected into a second, immiscible liquid. A nozzle with a 97 m opening is used to generate a jet of 53.4% Water-Glycerin (by weight) flowing into an ambient fluid of Clearco Pure Silicone Fluid 50. The breakup mode is studied for a range of Reynolds, Weber number combinations by varying the jet exit velocity. The range of interest is from near the onset of Rayleigh type breakup up to and including the transition to sinuous breakup.
