An experimental investigation is conducted to determine the effect of liquid viscosity and density, nozzle diameter, and flow velocity on the break-up length and spreading angle of liquid sheets formed by splash plate nozzles. Various mixtures of corn syrup and water were used to obtain viscosities in the range of 1–170 mPa s. Four different splash plate nozzle diameters of 0.5 mm, 0.75 mm, 1 mm, and 2 mm, with a constant plate angle of 55 deg were tested. The liquid sheet angles and the break-up lengths were measured at various operating conditions. An empirical correlation for the sheet spreading angle and a semi-empirical correlation for the sheet break-up lengths are developed.

The T-junction model is simulated in Fluent by changing the curvature of branch pipe, and then the distribution characteristics of the annular flow was studied in T-junction distributor. The mass flow and pressure of the annular flow in this T-junction are studied, and the impact of Coanda Effect on the annular flow distribution characteristic is analyzed in oil-air two phases flow. The results show that, Coanda Effect affects the distribution of oil-air annular flow unevenly. The mass flow rate of air phase and the air velocity of outlet increase with decreasing the curvature, while the mass flow rate of liquid decrease with decreasing the curvature of the branch pipe connection; T-shaped junction inlet pressure is high, but the pressure gradient is small, the pressure gradient in the small curvature manifold is larger than that in the large curvature manifold.
