Ultra-dispersed particles of water-soluble and water-insoluble substances formed from gas-droplet flows
Abstract The work is devoted to the experimental study of the ultra dispersed particles formation process, which is essentially a fundamental problem of heat and mass transfer in gas-droplet flows under phase transformation conditions. Various methods of generating and controlling the gas-droplet flow parameters are considered. The description of the created equipment and diagnostic methods for studying gas-droplet flows is given. The particle size distribution functions are obtained using an aerosol particle spectrometer. The possibility of controlling the parameters of ultrafine particles of water-soluble and water-insoluble substances (medications) formed under evaporation of microdroplets of solutions and suspensions is shown experimentally. An attempt to reconstruct the distribution functions of microdroplets and their average dimension from measurements of the parameters of ultrafine particles formed after complete evaporation of the droplets is made.
