In many combustion and agricultural applications atomizers are used to increase the surface area of liquid ensure high rates mixing improve evaporation. The most common, simple, reliable atomizer is pressure swirl atomizer. This said have quality effective atomization compared others induces swirling motion gives a hollow cone spray with air core as it emerges from exit orifice. To enhance unde...

We developed a two fluid atomizer to spray mammalian cells suspended in phosphate buffered saline (PBS)-Pluronic F-127 polymer solutions. We used the device to spray suspensions of bovine articular chondrocytes and porcine tracheal epithelial cells, in either PBS or the polymer solutions, and studied their viability and growth kinetics. Under the operating conditions examined in this study, the...

The present study was carried out to quantitatively analyze the levels of six potentially toxic heavy metals viz., arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) in ten important Indian medicinal plants. The air dried powdered plant materials were subjected to microwave assisted wet digestion for the preparation of test samples. The samples were analyzed by u...
