Abstract:
1. A liquid droplet formation and transport apparatus comprising: a first liquid transport pipe; a first liquid feed means for supplying a liquid to the first liquid transport pipe and feeding the liquid through the first liquid transport pipe at a velocity V a second liquid transport pipe whose liquid inlet is disposed at a liquid outlet of the first liquid transport pipe with an air gap in between; and a second liquid feed means for sucking the liquid through the liquid inlet of the second liquid transport pipe and conveying the liquid through the second liquid transport pipe at a velocity V whereby the liquid exits through the liquid outlet of the first liquid transport pipe and forms a liquid droplet in the air gap, the liquid droplet is sucked through the liquid inlet of the second liquid transport pipe, and the liquid droplet, along with a respective intermittent fluid of air in front and behind the liquid droplet, are conveyed through the second liquid transport pipe.
