A linear instability analysis of an annular liquid sheet emanating from an atomizer subjected to inner and outer air streams to investigate the liquid viscosity and swirl velocity on the maximum growth rate has been carried out. The dimensionless dispersion equation that governs the instability of a viscous annular liquid sheet under air streams was derived with linear stability analysis. The dispersion equation solved by numerical method and investigated viscosity and swirl velocity effect on maximum growth rate and its corresponding unstable wave number. The results show that decrease in viscosity has positive effect on maximum growth rate and its corresponding unstable wave number. At low liquid swirl Weber number liquid swirl has a stabilizing effect and at high liquid swirl Weber number liquid swirl velocity has a destabilizing effect on the liquid sheet. The growth rate can be related to the breakup length of the liquid sheet and when the growth rate increase, breakup length was shorter. The drop diameter dependent to the wave number and decrease with increase on it that afford to improvement the combustion and decrease the specific fuel consumption.

Optimized injectors spray and consequently their proper fluid distribution is one of the most important factors determining the thrust force and combustion stability. Reaching a stable combustion with a high specific impulse needs a proper fuel distribution and atomization. Asymmetric distribution of fuel spray droplets lead to asymmetric spray cone and incomplete combustion that cause the chamber broken. Regarding to the numerous advantages of swirl double-based injectors, 25 number of this injector type are manufactured to be mounted on a circular injector plate. To ensure that they have enough accuracy, macroscopic spray characteristic of all injectors are measured and examined in cold test lab and PDA lab.Having checked the quality of each injector, two types of injector plates are designed and manufactured precisely. Having manufactured a circular and a hexagonally arranged injector plate, their spray characteristics are examined.Results show that the circular injector plate has satisfactory spray characteristics like droplet distribution and desirable spray cone and could be ready for warm test.
