Spray Theory and Applications

Overview Introduction : Basic spray processes, Factors controlling spray formation - Drop size and velocity distribution functions : Number distributions, Mass/volume distributions, Empirical distributions, Theoretical distributions - Sheet and ligament breakup : Instability analyses for ligaments and sheets, Design models based on instability analyses - Drop formation : Static and dynamic force balances, Continuity considerations, Secondary atomization, Collisions and coalescence - Drop motion and spray-surroundings interactions : Steady trajectories (gas turbines, spray cooling, paint sprays), Entrainment.
