ISBN: 0815514360 ISBN-13: 9780815514367 Publisher: William Andrew OUR PRICE: $247.50 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: December 1999 Annotation: This volume provides readers with an up-to-date, point-by-point review of recent advances in the underlying science and the many applications of discrete droplet processes, including a unique look at both normal liquids and melts. It provides engineers and scientists with an inside look at the various processes and techniques for droplet generation, along with their applications and associated materials. The author also describes the principles involved in droplet processes, emphasizing the mechanisms of droplet formation and deformation as they commonly appear in various applications. Readers get an insight into the effects of process parameters on droplet properties and a review of methodologies for the analysis, design, and optimization of droplet processes. The book outlines the main measurement techniques and suggests a number of new, useful, practical approaches to process control issues. In the past century, droplet-related phenomena have been a subject of considerable scientific interest and practical importance. In recent years, strong research efforts have let to significant strides in the field, aided by the development of high speed, large capacity computers that allow direct modeling and on-line measurements. This new research has advanced atomizer design and optimized atomization and spray processes. This book covers all these advances and provides a single source of valuable information that will advance the reader's knowledge. Key Features: - Explains the basics of droplet science, as well as a look at the most recent advances in the field - Draws practical information from many areas and many fields into a singe resource - Correlates many diversemechanisms and effects into a single framework to provide a new perspective on the physics and the relationship between normal liquid and melt droplet processes - Explains new uses and results of new computer simulations of droplet processes |

| Publisher Description: This is the first book to encompass the fundamental phenomenon, principles, and processes of discrete droplets of both normal liquids and melts. It provides the reader with the science and engineering of discrete droplets, and provides researchers, scientists and engineers with the latest developments in the field. The book begins with a systematic review of various processes and techniques, along with their applications and associations with materials systems. This is followed by a description of the phenomena and principles in droplet processes. Correlations, calculations, and numerical modeling of the droplet processes provide insight into the effects of process parameters on droplet properties for optimization of atomizer design. Droplets are found in the areas of metallurgy, materials, automotive, aerospace, medicine, food processing, agriculture, and power generation, and encountered in a huge range of engineering applications. |
