Industrial Sprays and Atomization Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am studying Aerospace Technology at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. During my internship at the DLR (Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V.) in Lampoldshausen, Germany, I had to work on a survey of the current status of injection technology. To produce a comprehensive overview I had to do a lot of research in order to collect all kinds literature dealing with atomization or injection. So I came across this book. At first I was amazed by the good introduction to the topic of sprays and their appliance in industry. I especially like the many examples that are given throughout the book. The great number of figures used greatly improves understanding. As I went on with my reading I became more and more disappointed about the poor language quality. I am not a native speaker of the English language myself and I understand how hard it can be to write in a language different from one's own, but I find the legebility is greatly reduced by the high count of grammatical mistakes. Another drawback is the very poor quality of the images used in this book. In quite a few of them I find it hard to identify what is shown on the pictures. These vitiations prevent the book from getting a five-star rating and do not justify the price by any means. I hope the next edition will correct them because the book as a whole is still a very goog approach at the topic of atomization.

Product Description:
There are relatively few texts currently available in the field of liquid atomization and these are mostly prepared from theoretical or experimental viewpoints and often with emphasis on fuel sprays for combustion purposes. This book provides a critical and extensive compilation of the wide range of manufacturing processes that involve the application of spray technology in industry. It covers design of atomizers as well as the performance of plant and their corresponding spray systems. The content of the book covers the needs of practising engineers from different disciplines, who may include project managers, and works, maintenance and design engineers. It addresses the lack of in-depth understanding, in the area of the application of spray in industry. Of interest to researchers is the field of liquid sprays, information on fundamental processes involved is discussed, including outlines of the contemporary and possible future research and challenges in the different fields of application. These are all dealt with within the following general framework: - sprays and their production; - sprays in industrial production processes; - processes involving vaporisation and cooling or cleaning of gases; - processes involving spray surface impact; - fuel sprays for fixed plant; - spraying of hot surfaces for steel making and other metals; - spraying of molten metals. Wherever possible guidance is given in respect to the analysis and interpretation of experimental data obtained using different measurement techniques in industrial spray processes.
