The analysis covers experiments made using flat rotating disks of 2, 3 and 5 cm diameter having controlled matt working surfaces. Rotational speeds varied from 19 000-70 000 rev/min and water feed rates were 0.121, 0.421 and 0.771 g/s. The independent variation of Sauter mean diameter (S.m.d.) and of maximum droplet diameter with disk size, liquid flow rate and rotational speed were found and the general correlation is expressed using dimensionless groups. The extent of the dispersion is numerically expressed as a Rosin-Rammler distribution constant. Good correlation was found between both (a) S.m.d. and (b) maximum droplet diameter, and the appropriate products of dimensionless groups. The distribution constant is expressed empirically in terms of speed and flow rate, but the correlation is less satisfactory than in the case of (a) and (b). No information is given on the mode of fracture, but limitations of the analytical method are explored.
