Industrial Sprays and Atomization

An extensive critical compilation of the wide range of manufacturing processes that involve the application of spray technology, this book covers design of atomizers as well as the performance of plant and their corresponding spray systems. The needs of practising engineers from different disciplines: project managers, and works, maintenance and design engineers are catered for. Of interest to researchers in the field of liquid sprays, the book includes outlines of the contemporary and possible future research and challenges in the different fields of application and deals with: sprays and their production; sprays in industrial production processes; processes involving vaporisation and cooling or cleaning of gases; spray-surface impact processes; fuel sprays for fixed plant; spraying of hot surfaces for steel making and other metals; spraying of molten metals.Guidance is given for the analysis and interpretation of experimental data obtained using different measurement techniques.
