Experimental and Numerical Studies of Droplet and Particle Formation in Electrohydrodynamic Atomization
Electrohydrodynamic Atomization (EHDA) is an effective method to produce micro-droplets/particles in a controllable manner. In this paper, both experimental and numerical approaches are adopted to investigate the mechanism of various EHDA spray modes under different operating conditions. Especially, Computational Fluid Dynamics based numerical simulation is applied to investigate the Taylor con...
متن کاملMechanistic Understanding of Spray Drying
Purpose Spray drying is a growing technology in the pharmaceutical industry with several enabling applications in modern drug delivery. Its understanding is still vastly empirical, mainly in what relates to the particle formation step. Consequently, the design spaces are typically defined through costly experiments and their statistical interpretation. The purpose of this study is to examine th...
متن کاملCoupled Mechanisms of Precipitation and Atomization in Burning Nanofluid Fuel Droplets
Understanding the combustion characteristics of fuel droplets laden with energetic nanoparticles (NP) is pivotal for lowering ignition delay, reducing pollutant emissions and increasing the combustion efficiency in next generation combustors. In this study, first we elucidate the feedback coupling between two key interacting mechanisms, namely, secondary atomization and particle agglomeration; ...
متن کاملInvestigations into the Mechanisms of Electrohydrodynamic Spraying of Liquids I. Effect of Electric Field and the Environment on Pendant Drops and Factors Affecting the Formation of Stable Jets and Atomization
The effect of an applied electric field on pendant and flowing drops (through a capillary) was studied by observing the droplet profile as a function of applied voltage. With pendant drops of hexadecane, application of the electric field caused a reduction in the apparent surface tension, 7app. In surrounding gases such as N2, CO2, and Ar, droplet profiles similar to those in air were obselved....
