Experimental data for a gas-liquid atomizer with a 
porous mixing element are presented. Hydraulic characteristics of 
the atomizer at different mass flow rates of the air and liquid are 
obtained. Water and glycerin were used as the working fluids. The 
maximum diameter of the formed droplets was measured by the method 
of spark photography. A semiempirical relation for evaluating the 
droplet dimension is proposed.
