Experimental and computational studies of multiphase hydrodynamics in a hydrocyclone separator system

“…The various hardware components and operating procedures have been described in details by Lim et al (2007Lim et al ( , 2008 previously Fig. 5.…”

Standard source of atmospheric black carbon aerosol generated from ultrasonic spray of BC suspension

“…Vibrating orifice aerosol generator (VOAG) is a kind of ultrasonic nozzle used for generating aerosols (Berglund and Liu, 1973). It has been used to 10 characterize aerodynamic particle sizer (Volckens and Peters, 2005) and time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (Palma et al, 2007), to generate aerosols (Lim et al, 2008;Mitchell et al, 1987;Štefancová et al, 2011) and to synthesize particles (Rama Rao et al, 2002). Electrospray produces nearly monodisperse droplets by means of electrical forces and droplets ranging from nanometers to several micrometers can be generated by controlling flow rate of the liquid, the voltage at the capillary nozzle and the electrostatic potential between the liquid and the electrode (Biskos et al, 15 2008;Jaworek and Sobczyk, 2008).…”

Prediction of droplet evaporation characteristics of nebuliser based humidification and drug delivery devices

“…In reality the boundary conditions for the walls of the tube containing the evaporating water droplets and air sit somewhere between adiabatic and isothermal conditions. Some studies assume isothermal conditions for the surrounding air [8,15], especially if the water to air mass ratio is very small while others assume 'non-isothermal' conditions [16]. Adiabatic conditions are modelled for a limited number of cases in some research [17].…”
