1. A stream of a liquid characterized by forming a stable microjet over a portion of the stream wherein the stable microjet portion of the stream is formed by a gas moving at a velocity greater than that of the liquid:

  • wherein stable microjet comprises a diameter dj at a given point A in the stream characterized by the formula;

    ##EQU19## wherein dj is the diameter of the stable microjet, = indicates approximately equally to where an acceptable margin of error is plus or minus 10%, Q is the liquid flow rate, ρ

    1 is the density of the liquid and Δ

    Pg is change in gas pressure of gas surrounding the stream from a pressure chamber to the point A.
