Nozzle spray atomization is widely used in industrial and agricultural production processes and is a very complicated physical change. The spray atomization of the nozzle is a process in which the droplets are continuously broken into finer particles under the action of force, in order to study the effect of nozzle atomization, that is, droplet size distribution characteristics. The experimental average mathematical model of droplet size distribution was established by introducing the average diameter of Sutter (SMD). The droplet size distribution in the atomization field of the nozzle is studied by simulation. In the experimental study, the high-speed camera, external mixing air atomizing nozzle platform experimental device and image processing were used, and the atomization field was divided into multiple observation areas. Through the measurement of several local observation areas, the droplet size distribution of the whole atomization field is constructed. It provides a reference for the study of the atomization field of the nozzle and a basis for the intuitive understanding of the droplet size distribution in the atomization field of the nozzle. The effective atomization area of the nozzle atomization was selected to study the influence of the liquid flow rate, the liquid temperature and the nozzle pressure on the atomized particle size distribution of the externally mixed atomizing nozzle. The internal law is obtained, which provides a basis and reference for effectively controlling the atomization effect in the atomization field.

A numerical analysis is made of heat and mass transfer from horizontal circular cylinders in a downward flow of air/water mist of polydisperse droplets, taking into account the far-upstream droplet size distribution and the blockage effect of the gas phase flow. The effects of the droplet size distribution, temperatures, and liquid-to-gas mass flow ratio upon the liquid film thickness and wall shear stress, velocity, and temperature of the air-water interface, two-phase Nusselt numbers, etc., are examined.

A mechanistic model was developed for the thermal-hydraulic processes in the spout flash evaporator of an OC-OTEC plant. Nonequilibrium, two-fluid, conservation equations were solved for the two-phase flow in the spout, accounting for evaporation at the gas-liquid interface, and using a two-phase flow regime map consisting of bubbly, churn-turbulent and dispersed droplet flow patterns. Solution of the two-phase conservation equations provided the flow conditions at the spout exit, which were used in modeling the fluid mechanics and heat transfer in the evaporator, where the liquid was assumed to shatter into a spray with a log-normal size distribution. Droplet size distribution was approximated by using 30 discrete droplet size groups. Droplet momentum conservation equations were numerically solved to obtain the residence time of various droplet size groups in the evaporator. Evaporative cooling of droplets was modeled by solving the 1-D heat conduction equation in spheres, and accounting for droplet internal circulation by an empirical thermal diffusivity multiplier. The model was shown to favorably predict the available single-spout experimental data.
