The effects of nebulization conditions on the size characteristics of the aqueous aerosol produced have been investigated for a cross-flow nebulizer. It is shown that the nebulizer gas flow rate does not affect the upper limit mean sizes of the aqueous droplets transported from the nebulization chamber but that the mean size of the analyte-containing aerosol itself is affected. Model equations are presented descriptive of the effects of gas flow rate and analyte concentrations on analyte aerosol size characteristics.

This paper describes the results of the first stage of an investigation designed to extend present knowledge of the factors affecting aerosol production, transport, vaporization, and atomization in analytical spectroscopy systems. It focuses on factors controlling aspiration of aqueous solutions. The results demonstrate that the effect of gas flow on the pressure drop induced at the tip of the solution draw tube can be described by a simple linear equation; that the relationship between gas flow rate and solution nebulization rate can also be modelled by a simple equation; and that these relationships are not adequately represented by the Hagen-Poiseulle equation, as is often claimed.

This paper reports experimental characterization of directional gas pumping generated by MEMS-fabricated checkerboard-type electrostatic microvalves. It is found that the oscillatory motion of the checkerboard microvalve membrane provides both the pumping and valve functions of a pump, namely: 1) to cause the volume displacement and, thus, compression and transfer of gas, and 2) to direct gas flow in one direction by closing and opening air paths in the proper sequence. Here, we describe the microvalve-only design, and report the pumping performance producing a maximum flow rate of 1.8 sccm and a maximum pressure differential of 3.0 kPa for five microvalves driven simultaneously with a sinusoidal signal of ± 100V amplitude at 5.5 kHz.

<p>Abstract: ZnO nanoparticles have been succesfully produced using Flame Assisted Spray<br />Pyrolysis (FASP) method. Burner type was a premixed flame reactor that used LPG as a fuel<br />and air as oxidizer because of an economical point of view. Zn(NO<br />3<br />)2<br />was used as a precursor<br />source for ZnO nanoparticles production. The flow rates of carrier gas during ZnO nanoparticles<br />fabrication were 5 L/menit, 7 L/menit, and 9 L/menit. To get the information about size and<br />shape of ZnO nanoparticles was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and<br />X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD). The results showed that the higher carrier gas flow rate, the bigger<br />size of ZnO nanoparticles. By using the flow rate of carrier gas at 5 L/min, the mean size of ZnO<br />nanoparticles was about 80 nm. ZnO nanoparticles at carrier gas of 5 L/min were hexagonal<br />zincite crystalline structure and XRD were about 30,62 nm<br />Keywords: Flame Assisted Spray Pyrolysis, nanoparticles, ZnO, LPG, SEM, XRD</p>

Thermal plasma of 12-phase AC arc was successfully developed and applied in the field of glass in-flight melting, and the arc discharge behavior was characterized by image analysis. The effects of sheath gas flow rate on arc discharge and melting behavior of granulated glass raw material were investigated. Results show that different sheath gas flow rates lead to various arc discharge and high-temperature region. The fluctuation of luminance area ratio and coefficient of variation reflects the change of arc discharge behavior. As the sheath gas flow rate increases, the ratio of luminance area decreases and the center temperature of arc increases. The vitrification degree of glass raw material is mostly dependent on the center temperature of arc, higher center temperature and more vitrification degree.

Fuel cells have been used as a power source in the space shuttle for decades and are expected to be used in future higher power, larger systems. A new, passive gas/liquid phase separator for use in such large fuel cell space applications has been invented. It is a vortex separator designed to accommodate gas driven two phase flows. The work presented here is a first of a kind study of this newly invented separator examining the minimum inlet gas flow rate necessary for a stable vortex inside the separator as a function of separator size. A dimensional scaling analysis was done to predict this minimum inlet gas flow rate. Experiments were performed on the ground and in conjunction with the NASA microgravity simulating aircraft to validate modeling. The results of the experiments and scaling analysis are compared.

The paper deals with modelling of the flow of liquid on a plate with mobile packing. The results of measurements have been interpreted by means of a simple dispersion model whose two parameters were determined from the nonideal step-input of a tracer and its response. It has been found that in the gas flow rate region followed (1.0 - 3.5 m s-1), the liquid flow rate followed (5.36 - 12.5 . 10-3 m s-1), and the static bed height followed (21 - 47 . 10-3 m) the diffusion Peclet number is independent of these quantities. The mean residence time of the liquid on the plate decreases with increasing flow rate of Both gas and liquid, but it increases with the increasing height of packing.
