Extension of high momentum jet stabilised combustors towards liquid fuel operation has shown significant injector shape and injection strategy impact on the air mixing behaviour, flame position stability ultimately pollutants. This can be attributed to lack optimised concepts as well fundamental understanding turbulence–spray interactions that dictate atomization placement in turbulence gas flo...

We introduce the hybrid functional HSEsol. It is based on PBEsol, a revised Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof functional, designed to yield accurate equilibrium properties for solids and their surfaces. We present lattice constants, bulk moduli, atomization energies, heats of formation, and band gaps for extended systems, as well as atomization energies for the molecular G2-1 test set. Compared to HSE, si...

When the high power ultrasound irradiates the liquid, small liquid droplets are generated from the liquid surface. This phenomenon is called as ultrasonic atomization [1]. Recently, it has been reported that ethanol is concentrated from the aqueous solution by ultrasonic atomization [2-4]. Since ultrasonic atomization scarcely accompanies the phase change, this is a great advantage comparing wi...

A primary atomization model for visco-elastic liquid is established based on the ligament formation assumption and dispersion relationships. Two linear instability analyses are used in presented paper. Both of them are involved in the primary atomization model and the calculated results are compared with published experimental data. After validation, the model is used to predict the effects of ...

Atomization spray of non-Newtonian liquid plays a pivotal role in various engineering applications, especially for the energy utilization. To operate spray systems efficiently and well understand the effects of liquid rheological properties on the whole spray process, a comprehensive model using Euler-Lagrangian approaches was established to simulate the evolution of the atomization spray for v...

The present study discuss controlling mechanisms of air-blast atomization and the prospect of external triggering for enhancing atomization quality of a planar liquid sheet. The investigation builds on previous experimental evidence provided by flow visualization of 2-D liquid sheets formed between two co-flowing air streams at variable velocities, and is particularly aimed to improve our under...

In the assessment of density functional approximations for the exchangecorrelation energy, great weight is usually given to the accuracy of molecular atomization energies, or the enthalpies of formation constructed from calculated atomization energies. Here we show that a recent non-empirical functional, the meta-generalized gradient approximation of Tao, Perdew, Staroverov, and Scuseria, achie...

A quantum Monte Carlo study of the atomization energies for the G2 set of molecules is presented. Basis size dependence of diffusion Monte Carlo atomization energies is studied with a single determinant Slater-Jastrow trial wavefunction formed from Hartree-Fock orbitals. With the largest basis set, the mean absolute deviation from experimental atomization energies for the G2 set is 3.0 kcal/mol...

The sensitivity of graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) to arsenobetaine (AB) was 1.3-times higher than to inorganic As. In order to understand the mechanism underlying this observation, the atomization processes for both chemical species were investigated in terms of the enthalpy change (DeltaH) during the atomization process in GFAAS. The enthalpy change of AB was slightly ...
