Description: Encompasses the fundamental phenomenon, principles, and processes of discrete droplets of both normal liquids and melts. 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.
