Description
Atomization is an important process used in many industries,
including chemical, petrochemical, biochemical, medical, food,
paper, combustion, fuels, and agriculture. This course
provides an introduction to atomization for engineers,
scientists and technologists who are interested in or need to
know more about atomization, atomizer design, atomizer
specifications and selection for various applications.
Key areas to be covered include the various atomization
methods, atomizer design, factors affecting operation, flow in
atomizers, drop size, spray angle and other spray
characteristics, atomizer performance criteria, atomizer
maintenance and drop size distributions. Proper atomizer
selection will be emphasized. Worked problems on flow
number for nozzles and the air-to-liquid ratio for two fluid
atomizers will be presented in class. Calculations for spray
dryers will also be reviewed.
The course will follow a lecture/discussion/video presentation
format. Demonstrations of the use of the atomization
equipment and maintenance procedures will be shown.
