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.
