Atomization of a liquid by a spray nozzle
Abstract
The theory of atomization by mechanical and pneumatic (or vapor) spray nozzles is discussed. Basic design recommendations resulting from generalization of the material and confirmed by experiments are given. Sprayers which are widely used in the furnaces of stationary steam boilers, the combustion chambers of gas turbines, and industrial furnaces are examined.
