A novel high liquid pressure fine spray swirl atomizer has been developed, which
incorporates a spill-return orifice into the rear face of the swirl chamber with the aim of giving
a significant reduction in flowrate while maintaining the droplet si... Read More about A new fine spray, low flowrate, spill-return swirl atomizer.

Steady state high pressure spray cooling of high temperature steel surfaces (2007)
Journal Article
Sharief, R., Nasr, G., & Yule, A. (2007). Steady state high pressure spray cooling of high temperature steel surfaces. Atomization and Sprays, 17(2), 171-191. https://doi.org/10.1615/AtomizSpr.v17.i2.40

Water-spray cooling of heated surfaces is common in many industrial applications, notably steelmaking, because of its high heat dissipating ability. Quantitative information regarding the parameters affecting spray cooling is relatively scarce. The o... Read More about Steady state high pressure spray cooling of high temperature steel surfaces.
