The mean droplet diameter from a single fluid nozzle is estimated with the following rule of thumb ... 

Nozzles enable the kinetic energy of a liquid propulsion jet to be utilized for different purposes. In the first instance one can distinguish between one- and two-component nozzles. Single fluid nozzles are generally used as atomizer nozzles, in which the kinetic energy of the liquid propulsion jet is utilized for dispersion of its own. There are, however, also pneumatic atomizer nozzles, which belong to two-component nozzles [571]. 

A pressure nozzle, sometimes called a single-fluid nozzle, creates spray as a consequence of pressure to velocity energy conversion as the liquid passes through the nozzle under...

The initial slurry is spr dried in a conventional tower equipped with a single fluid nozzle, and having an inlet temperature of about 190°C and an outlet temperature of about 90°C. The final granules will be dried to a moisture eontent of less than three percent. Granules will contain about 85% w/w copper hydroxide. 

For single-fluid pressure nozzles, a rule of thumb is employed ... 

For proper use of the equations, the chamber shape must conform to the spray pattern. With cocurrent gas-spray flow, the angle of spread of single-fluid pressure nozzles and two-fluid pneumatic nozzles is such that wall impingement wiU occur at a distance approximately four chamber diameters below the nozzle therefore, chambers employing these atomizers should have vertical height-to-diameter ratios of at least 4 and, more usually, 5. The discharge cone below the vertical portion should have a slope of at least 60°, to minimize settling accumulations, and is used entirely to accelerate gas and solids for entty into the exit duct.

The atomizing nozzle may be one of four basic types 1) dual-fluid 2) single-fluid pressurized 3) singlefluid disk or rotary and 4) single-fluid ultrasonic. 

Two-fluid nozzles share with pressure nozzles the lack of high feed capacity combined with fine atomization in one single unit. Many spray dryer applications with two-fluid nozzle atomization have a very high number of individual nozzles. The main advantage of two-fluid nozzles is the capability to achieve very fine atomization. 

Fluid is added using a plastic wash bottle with a single delivery nozzle, which is easy and inexpensive. Here the wells are filled individually in rapid succession and then emptied by inverting the plate and flicking the contents into a sink or suitable container filled with disinfectant. This process is repeated at least three times. Wells filled with washing solution may also be left for about 30 s before emptying.
