A liquid atomizer for, e.g., fuel, comprises a tube having an opening for receiving pressurized liquid flow. The tube has a closed end, a wall, and a plurality of bores in the wall. The bores are disposed in consecutive circumferential rows, and are oriented at an acute angle .alpha. with respect to a radius of the tube and at an acute angle .beta. with respect to a longitudinal axis of the said tube. A shell having a discharge end with a discharge orifice encircles a portion of length of the tube, including the closed end of the tube. The shell forms an annular chamber around the tube end and an end chamber between the closed tube end and the shell discharge end. Liquid under pressure entering the tube opening is directed outwardly through the wall bores into the annular chamber, into the end chamber, and out through the discharge orifice for introduction, for example, into a combustor.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A liquid atomizer comprising:a tube having an opening for receiving a liquid, said tube having a closed end and a wall having at least two circumferential rows, each row having a plurality of spaced bores extending through said wall at an acute angle .alpha. with respect to a radius of said tube and at an acute angle .beta. with respect to a longitudinal axis of said tube, for passing said liquid with a radially outward velocity component; anda shell having a discharge end with a discharge orifice for said liquid, said shell encircling a portion of length of said tube including said closed tube end, thus forming an annular chamber around said tube wall and an end chamber between said closed tube end and said shell discharge end, whereby liquid from said bores is able to pass into and flow through said annular chamber, through said end chamber, and discharge through said shell discharge orifice.
