Abstract:Sprays are widely used in many industrial processes. In more recent years, the subject of liquid atomization has developed from a position of minor importance into a broad and significant technology. This article summarizes information and covers such topics as liquid atomizers, physics of atomization, spray characterization, instrumentation, and industrial applications. Atomizers have been summarized according to their sources of energy, distinct design features, and applications. Discussion of the physics of… Show more
