Harnessing micro air jets for spraying viscous non-Newtonian fuels
A device that transforms bulk liquid into millions of micron-sized droplets. It is an internally-impinging atomizer to reflect its basic working principle, which uses multiple microjets of air at low-to-moderate pressure within the atomizer body. The innovation generally concerns the field of enhancing the atomization and quality of highly-viscous non-Newtonian fluids by utilizing only a small amount of atomizing air. This has been made possible with the introduction of high-momentum atomizing air in a cross-flow arrangement into the incoming viscous liquid at the conical section, just upstream of the exit orifice.
