    Book description

    The study of droplets and sprays has developed rapidly over the past two decades because of their many important applications, from automobile engine combustion to drug aerosols. This book addresses the complex subject of the interactions of droplets and sprays. Along with a strong theoretical foundation, the book presents results in a way that will be useful for engineering practice, with summaries of key formulae and examples of various spray computations. Among topics covered are transient heating (or cooling) and vaporization (or condensation), multicomponent liquid droplet vaporization, near critical and supercritical ambient conditions, interaction of droplets with turbulent or vortical structures, distortion of the spherical shape and secondary atomization of the droplets, and computational issues. As an authoritative review of the science and technology of droplets and sprays, this book will be useful for graduate students, researchers, and practising engineers.

    Reviews

    ‘What the reader will find is a lucid, well argued and, in places, in-depth exposition of the many excellent contributions of the author and his co-workers to this subject … This text will be of value to post graduate students, researchers and practising engineers. It is a welcome addition to the literature on this subject … a very useful book that deserves to sell well.’

    ‘This book is informative, well-written, appropriately illustrated with figures and carefully organized … It certainly merits acquisition by libraries at universities and research laboratories.’
