Wind tunnel measurements of drop size distributions from Micronair AU4000 and AU5000 rotary atomizers were collected to develop a database for model use. The measurements varied tank mix, flow rate, air speed, and blade angle conditions, which were correlated by multiple regressions (average R2 = 0.995 for AU4000 and 0.988 for AU5000). This database replaces an outdated set of rotary atomizer d...

A. L. Miller National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health/ Spokane Research Lab, Spokane, WA 99207, USA Abstract A hygroscopicity tandem differential mobility analyzer (HTDMA) technique is used to determine size-effect of nanoparticles (NaCl, (NH4)2 SO4, KCl, NH4NO3, MgCl2, CaCl2) on their hygro­ scopic properties (deliquescence relative humidity (DRH) and hygroscopic growth factor (GF...

The viscosity of adiponitrile waste liquid is as high 1000 cp. It challenging to spray and atomize the normally. Based on coaxial three-channel pneumatic atomizer, a two-stage supersonic steam atomizer proposed in this paper, atomization process simulated by Fluent software. Compared with traditional simulation method, Volume-of-Fluid Discrete-Phase-Model (VOF-DPM) bi-directional coupling model...

This paper presents the results of numerical simulations for developed and discussed conical two-phase atomizers with swirl flow, differing in ratio height chamber to its diameter. Experiments were carried out SAN-1 HS/DS = 1 SAN-2 4 atomizers. The study was conducted over a range Reynolds number liquid ReL (1400; 5650) gas ReG (2970; 9900). Numerical calculations performed use computational fl...

ultrasonic machining (usm) is a mechanical material removal process used to erode holes and cavities in hard or brittle work pieces by using shaped tools, high-frequency and an abrasive slurry. this paper addresses the concept and development of an expert system (es) for hard and brittle material, such as glass, quartz, diamond, carbides, semi conducting materials, ceramic and graphite which ca...
