Atomization and sprays are used in a wide range of industries: mechanical, chemical, aerospace, and civil engineering; material science and metallurgy; food; pharmaceutical, forestry, environmental protection; medicine; agriculture; meteorology and others. Some specific applications are spray combustion in furnaces, gas turbines and rockets, spray drying and cooling, air conditioning, powdered metallurgy, spray painting and coating, inhalation therapy, and many others. The Handbook of Atomization and Sprays will bring together the fundamental and applied material from all fields into one comprehensive source. Subject areas included in the reference are droplets, theoretical models and numerical simulations, phase Doppler particle analysis, applications, devices and more." Includes fundamental physics of the atomization process, the theoretical models and numerical simulations of spray Covers a wide range of industrial applications including but not limited to spray coating, medical, healthcare and agricultural sprays, spray cooling, and mass spectrometry, to name a few Discusses experimental techniques for spray characterization and applications and mechanisms of atomization INDICE: Principles of atomization.- Computational methods in atomization and sprays.- Droplets and spray processes.- Spray and droplet generation.- Spray application in combustion systems.- Powder production via spray methods.- Spray coating.- Other spray applications.- Spray diagnostic techniques.
