Question:
Experimental studies have shown that the condition for breakup of a droplet in a gas stream is We/Re1/2 = 0.5 where Re is the Reynolds number and We is the Weber number based on the droplet diameter. What diameter water droplet would break up in a 12 m/s airstream at 20°C and standard atmospheric pressure? The surface tension of water is 0.041 N/m.
Step by Step Answer:
The Reynolds number Re is a dimensionless number that compares the inertial forces to the vi...View the full answer

The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules. The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension. The molecules at the surface of a glass of water do not have other water molecules on all sides of them and consequently, they cohere more strongly to those directly associated with them (in this case, next to and below them, but not above). is not really true that a \\\"skin\\\" forms on the water surface; the stronger cohesion between the water molecules as opposed to the attraction of the water molecules to the air makes it more difficult to move an object through the surface than to move it when it is completely submersed
