Kelvin-Helm Holtz Instability of Micro Fuel Jet Two non-dimensional numbers, namely Reynolds number (Re) and Weber number (We) are identified for the fuel jet. The growth rate ( )and the corresponding wavelength are estimated using these non-dimensional parameters.

The True Engineering Mean Diameter This diameter is named after the German scientist who first employed it in 1920. Dr Ing J. Sauter worked at the Laboratorium f r Technische Physik of the Technische Hochschule, M chen on aspects of internal combustion engines. In particular, he studied atomization in carburettors and as part of his work devised a technique to determine the size of drops produced based on the absorption/scattering of light. The true mean diameter must have the same ratio of volume to surface area as the entire ensemble. This is known as the Sauter mean diameter or D32.
