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
