Abstract:
Gas atomization has been studied
by using energy method in this paper. It shows that the capillary potential energy of the
atomization droplets is supplied by the impingement of the gas on the liquid. The energy criterion
of the minimum equivalent diameter of the atomization droplets is obtained. The result is
comparable to the empirical formulae.HJ*2/3]
