Modeling Studies of Particle Deformation Control during Spray Process

With analysis of particle deformation mechanism during spray process, the present work developed a new model, based on the Weber number, percolation criteria and drying kinetics, to predict the particle morphology for various drying conditions. From this model, some results are that the deformated particles will easily be shaped in the spray process at high temperature, high velocity, low surface tension and high initial gas/liquid mass ratio.
