Abstract

The disintegration of a charged liquid jet is examined, and the break-up mechanism inferred from photographic evidence. Gravitational, molecular and electrical forces all contribute to the segmentation of the jet and determine the drop size distribution. The disintegration process is investigated from the point of view of drop generation. The segmentation of the charged jet differs from the known ways in which an uncharged jet is broken into drops.
