Pre-alloyed powders prepared by different processes including UPWA, conventional water atomization （CWA） and elemental metal mechanical mixing （EMMM） were sintered to segments and then compared in mechanical properties, holding force between matrix and diamond, fracture morphology of blank and sintering diamond section containing matrix. The results showed that the pre-alloyed powder prepared by UPWA exhibits the best mechanical properties including the relative density, the hardness and the bending strength of matrix sinteredsegment. Sintered segments fractography of UPWA pre-alloyed powder indicatesmechanical mosaic strength and chemical bonding force between the pre-alloyed powder and the diamond, leading to the great increase in the holding force between matrix and diamond. The mechanical performance andthe service life of diamond tools were greatly improved by UPWA pre-alloyed powders.展开更多

The characteristics of powders prepared by common gas atomization and dual-phase flow atomization under similar conditions were compared. The experimental results show that the dual-phase flow-atomized powders have average particle sizes that are one-half that of the common gas-atomized particles;additionally, they possess a finer microstructure and higher cooling rate under the same atomization gas pressure and the same gas flow. The Weber number in the crash criteria of liquid atomization is adopted to measure the crash ability of the atomization media. The Weber number of the dual-phase flow atomization medium is the sum of that of the gas and the solid particles. Furthermore, the critical equation of the crash model in dual-phase flow atomization is established, and the main regularities associated with this process were analyzed.展开更多

Sieving was used to determine the size distribution of the AgNi15 particles. The morphology, rapidly solidified structure and metastable solution expansion of the AgNi15 particles were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The results show that the AgNi15 composite particles are spherical and well-dispersed, and the mass fractions of the particles with diameters <74μm and <55 μm are 99.5% and 98%, respectively. The rapidly solidified structure of the AgNi15 particles consists of spherical nickel-richβ(Ni)-phase particles dispersed throughout a silver-richα(Ag)-phase matrix andα(Ag)-phase nanoparticles dispersed throughout largerβ(Ni)-phase particles. The silver and nickel in the AgNi15 particles form a reciprocally extended metastable solution, and the solid solubility of nickel in the silver matrix at room temperature is in the range of 0.16%?0.36% (mole fraction).展开更多

The principal design ob-jectives were to produce small-particle uniform powders at lower operating pressures by improving the gas inlet and outlet structures and op-timizing structural parameters. A computational fluid flow model was developed to study the flow field characteristics of the designed atom-izer. Simulation results show that the maximum gas velocity in the atomization zone can reach 440 m＆#183;s-1;this value is independent of the atomization gas pressure P0 when P0〉0.7 MPa. When P0=1.1 MPa, the aspiration pressure at the tip of the delivery tube reaches a mini-mum, indicating that the atomizer can attain the best atomization efficiency at a relatively low atomization pressure. In addition, atomization experiments with pure tin at P0=1.0 MPa and with 7055Al alloy at P0=0.8 and 0.4 MPa were conducted to evaluate the atomization capa-bility of the designed atomizer. Nearly spherical powders were obtained with the mass median diameters of 28.6, 43.4, and 63.5μm, respec-tively. Compared with commonly used atomizers, the designed Laval-type atomizer has a better low-pressure gas atomization capability.展开更多

Gasification is an advanced and environmentally friendly process that generates combustible and clean gas products such as hydrogen. Some entrained flow gasifiers operate with Heavy Fuel Oil(HFO) feedstock. In this application, HFO atomization is very important in determining the performance and efficiency of the gasifiers.The atomization characteristics of HFO(Mazut) discharging from a pressure-swirl atomizer(PSA) are studied for different pressures difference(Δp) and temperatures in the atmospheric ambient. The investigated parameters include atomizer mass flow rate( _m), discharge coefficient(CD), spray cone angle(θ), breakup length(Lb), the unstable wavelength of undulations on the liquid sheet(λs), global and local SMD(sauter mean diameter) and size distribution of droplets. The characteristics of Mazut sheet breakup are deduced from the shadowgraph technique. The experiments on Mazut film breakup were compared with the predictions obtained from the liquid film breakup model. Validity of the theory for predicting maximum unstable wavelength was investigated for HFO(as a highly viscous liquid). A modification on the formulation of maximum unstable wavelength was presented for HFO. SMD decreases by getting far from the atomizer. The measurement for SMD and θ were compared with the available correlations. The comparisons of the available correlations with the measurements of SMD andθ show a good agreement for Ballester and Varde correlations, respectively. The results show that the experimental sizing data could be presented by Rosin-Rammler distributions very well at different pressure difference and temperatures.展开更多

文摘The so-called close-coupled gas atomization process involves melting a metal and using a high-pressure gas jet positioned close to the melt stream to rapidly break it into fine,spherical powder particles.This technique,adapted for blast furnace slag granulation using a circular seam nozzle,typically aims to produce solid slag particles sized 30–140μm,thereby allowing the utilization of slag as a resource.This study explores the atomization dynamics of liquid blast furnace slag,focusing on the effects of atomization pressure.Primary atomization is simulated using a combination of the Volume of Fluid(VOF)method and the Shear Stress Transport k-ωturbulence model,while secondary atomization is analyzed through the Discrete Phase Model(DPM).The results reveal that primary atomization progresses in three stages:the slag column transforms into an umbrella-shaped liquid film,whose leading edge fragments into particles while forming a cavity-like structure,which is eventually torn into ligaments.This primary deformation is driven by the interplay of airflow velocity in the recirculation zone and the guide tube outlet pressure(Fp).Increasing the atomization pressure amplifies airflow velocity,recirculation zone size,expansion and shock waves,though the guide tube outlet pressure variations remain irregular.Notably,at 4.5 MPa,the primary deformation is most pronounced.Secondary atomization yields finer slag particles as a result of more vigorous primary atomization.For this pressure,the smallest average particle size and the highest yield of particles within the target range(30–140μm)are achieved.

文摘Atomic spin gyroscopes are promising candidates for next-generation inertial navigation due to extremely high theoretical precision,relatively small size among atomic gyroscopes,and promising potential for miniaturization.In particular,the spin-exchange relaxation-free(SERF)atomic gyroscope relies on optical pumping to polarize atoms,enabling rotation sensing through the Faraday optical rotation angle(FORA).However,fluctuations in atomic density introduce systematic errors in FORA measurements,limiting long-term stability.We present a data-driven decoupling method that isolates atomic density fluctuations from the FORA signal by modeling spatially resolved light absorption in the vapor cell.The model accounts for the spatial distribution of spin polarization in the pump-light interaction volume,density-dependent relaxation rates,wall-induced relaxation,and polarization diffusion,and is implemented within a finite-element framework.Compared to the conventional Lambert-Beer law,which assumes one-dimensional homogeneity,our approach captures the full threedimensional density and polarization distribution,significantly improving the accuracy of light absorption modeling.The resulting absorption-density maps are used to train a feedforward neural network,yielding a high-precision estimator for atomic density fluctuations.This estimator enables the construction of a decoupling equation that separates the density contribution from the FORA signal.Experimental validation shows that this method improves the bias instability atσ(100 s)of the gyroscope was improved by 73.1%compared to traditional platinum-resistance-based stabilization.The proposed framework is general and can be extended to other optical pumping-based sensors,such as optically pumped magnetometers.

文摘The single-atom replacement strategy is a typical approach which just converts elements in lead compounds into their analogues with very small chemical changes.In this research,we implemented this strategy to modify the sulfonamide scaffold identified in our previous work,and resulting in the synthesis of 40 novel sulfonamide derivatives not previously reported in the literature.The insecticidal activities of these compounds against the Mythimna separata and Plutella xylostella were assessed.Our findings indicate that the pyridine sulfonamide structure significantly enhances insecticidal efficacy.Specifically,compound 7c exhibited LC 50 values of 0.157 and 0.256 mg/mL against the M.separata and P.xylostella,which significantly increased 97-and 41-fold compared to celangulin V,respectively.The experimental results revealed that pyridine sulfonamide analogues could serve as potential green insecticides.

文摘Single-atom catalysts(SACs)have demonstrated excellent performance in heterogeneous catalytic reactions owing to their maximized atomic efficiency,distinctive geometric,and electronic configurations.However,the efficacy of SACs remains limited for certain reactions requiring simultaneous activation of multiple reactants over metallic active sites.Herein,we report an atomically dispersed Pt1Ru1 dual-atom pair site anchored on nanodiamond@graphene(ND@G)for CO oxidation.The Pt1Ru1 dual-atom catalyst shows an exceptional turnover frequency(TOF)of 17.6.10^(-2)s^(-1)at significantly lower temperature(30℃),achieving a tenfold increase in TOF compared to singleatom Pt1/ND@G catalyst(1.5.10^(-2)s^(-1))and surpassing to previously reported Pt-based catalysts under similar conditions.Moreover,the catalyst demonstrates excellent stability,maintaining its activity for 40 h at 80℃without significant deactivation.The superior catalytic performance of Pt-Ru dual-atom catalysts is attributed to the synergistic effect between Pt and Ru atoms with enhanced metallicity for improving simultaneous adsorption and activation of CO and O_(2),and the tuning of conventional competitive reactant adsorption into a non-competitive pathway over dual-atom pair sites.The present work manifests the advantages of dual-atom pair sites in heterogeneous catalysis and paves the way for precise design of catalysts at the atomic scale.

文摘The dissolvable polysulfides and sluggish Li_2S conversion kinetics are acknowledged as two significant challenges in the application lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries.Herein,we introduce a dual-doping strategy to modulate the electronic structure of MoS_(2),thereby obtaining a multifunctional catalyst that serves as an efficient sulfur host.The W/V dual single-atomdoped MoS_(2)grown on carbon nanofibers(CMWVS)demonstrates a strong adsorption ability for lithium polysulfides,suppressing the shuttle effects.Additionally,the doping process also results in the phase transition from 2H-MoS_(2)to 1T-MoS_(2)and generates sufficient edge sulfur atoms,promoting the charge/electron transfer and enriching the reaction sites.All these merits contribute to the superior conversion reaction kinetics,leading to the outstanding Li-S battery performance.When fabricated as cathodes by compositing with sulfur,the CMWVS/S cathode delivers a high capacity of 1481.7 mAh g^(-1)at 0.1 C(1 C=1672 mAh g^(-1))and maintains 816.3 m Ah g^(-1)after 1000 cycles at 1.0 C,indicating outstanding cycling stability.Even under a high sulfur loading of 7.9 mg cm^(-2)and lean electrolyte conditions(E/S ratio of 9.0μL mg^(-1)),the cathode achieves a high areal capacity of 8.2 m Ah cm^(-2),showing great promise for practical Li-S battery applications.This work broadens the scope of doping strategies in transition-metal dichalcogenides by tailoring their electronic structures,providing insightful direction for the rational development of high-efficiency electrocatalysts for advanced Li-S battery applications.

文摘We propose a novel cooling protocol within a triple-Laguerre-Gaussian cavity optomechanical system,which is designed to suppress the thermal vibrations of a rotating mirror to reach its quantum ground state.The system incorporates two auxiliary cavities and an atomic ensemble coupled to a Laguerre-Gaussian rotational cavity.By carefully selecting system parameters,the cooling process of the rotating mirror is significantly enhanced,while the heating process is effectively suppressed,enabling efficient ground-state cooling even in the unresolved sideband regime.Compared to previous works,our scheme reduces the stringent restrictions on auxiliary systems,making it more experimentally feasible under broader parameter conditions.These findings provide a robust approach for achieving ground-state cooling in mechanical resonators.

文摘Fenton-like technology based on peroxymonosulfate activation has shown great potential in refractory organics degradation.In this work,single Fe atom catalysts were synthesized through facile ball milling and exhibited very high performance in peroxymonosulfate activation.The Fe single-atom filled an N vacancy on the triazine ring edge of C_(3)N_(4),as confirmed through X-ray absorption fine structure,density functional calculation and elec-tron paramagnetic resonance.The SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4)/PMS system could completely remove phenol(20 mg/L)within 10 min and its first-order kinetic constant was 12.3 times that of the Fe_(3)O_(4)/PMS system.Under different ini-tial pH levels and in various anionic environments,SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4) still demonstrated excellent catalytic activity,achieving a removal rate of over 90%for phenol within 12 min.In addition,SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4) exhibited outstanding selectivity in reaction systems with different pollutants,showing excellent degradation effects on electron-rich pollutants only.Hydroxyl radicals(•OH),singlet oxygen(1O_(2))and high-valent iron oxide(Fe(Ⅳ)=O)were de-tected in the SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4)/PMS system through free radical capture experiments.Further experiments on the quenching of active species and a methyl phenyl sulfoxide probe confirmed that 1O_(2) and Fe(Ⅳ)=O played dom-inant roles.Additionally,the change in the current response after adding PMS and phenol in succession proved that a direct electron transfer path between organic matter and the catalyst surface was unlikely to exist in the SAFe_(0.4)–C_(3)N_(4)/PMS/Phenol degradation system.This study provides a new demonstration of the catalytic mech-anism of single-atom catalysts.

文摘Rydberg-atom-based superheterodyne receivers integrate self-calibration,high sensitivity,a wide operational frequency range,and phase/frequency resolved detection capabilities,demonstrating broad application prospects as nextgeneration microwave receivers.Linear gain and linear dynamic range(LDR)are critical metrics for assessing receiver sensitivity and demodulation fidelity,respectively.We numerically solve the four-level master equation and then employ particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm to co-optimize linear gain and LDR in atomic superheterodyne receivers based on balanced homodyne detection.Further,we systematically account for dominant dephasing mechanisms in the simulation,encompassing spontaneous decay,transit dephasing,collision dephasing,laser linewidth dephasing,and Doppler averaging.Homodyne readout utilizes both the real and imaginary parts of polarizability for sensing.In the case of the photon shot noise limit,its signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)expression resembles that of direct optical-intensity readout.However,the inherent coherent subtraction operation in homodyne detection significantly suppresses common-mode noise,while appropriately increasing the reference beam power enhances the gain in practical experiments.Indeed,this co-optimization problem,characterized by a high-dimensional variable space,two objectives,and non-convexity,is well-suited for solution by PSO.In addition,probe and coupling detuning contribute equivalently to polarizability and compensate for each other owing to Doppler averaging,thereby reducing the optimization variable space by one.By adopting a product form of linear gain and LDR as the fitness function,the PSO achieves rapid convergence.Here,the effectiveness of the PSO results is verified via the total harmonic distortion(THD).The relative error-based LDR calculation method we proposed efficiently measures receiver response linearity with consuming fewer computational resources.This research is expected to offer valuable insights into enhancing the performance of Rydberg-atom-based superheterodyne receivers.

文摘Iron-based single-atom(SA)catalysts offer a promising alternative to noble-metal catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR),yet their limited intrinsic activity and durability hinder practical energy device applications.Herein,we introduce a novel TiN/TiC-supported Fe SA catalyst(TiNC/Fe-NC)with a hierarchical heterostructure that synergistically enhances Fe-N_(x) site activity and accessibility.The TiNC/Fe-NC catalyst achieves outstanding ORR performances,with half-wave potentials(E_(1/2))of 0.852 V in acidic media and 0.942 V in alkaline media.Theoretical simulations reveal that strong electronic interaction and efficient charge transfer between TiNC and Fe-N_(x) sites optimize the adsorption energetics of key ORR intermediates,driving the enhanced activity.Remarkably,TiNC effectively scavenges reactive oxygen radicals generated at the Fe centers,ensuring exceptional durability with a minimal 28 mV loss in E_(1/2) after 10,000 cycles at 80℃in acid media.In practical applications,TiNC/Fe-NC delivers peak power densities of 306 mW cm^(-2) in zinc-air battery and 732 mW cm^(-2) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells,with remarkable long-term stability.This work establishes TiNC/Fe-NC as a highperformance,durable catalyst for advanced energy storage and conversion technologies.

文摘Atomic layer deposition(ALD)is extensively used to fabricate doped dielectrics due to its ability to deposit conformal films with atomic-scale thickness control.Al-doped TiO_(2)(ATO)is a promising high-k dielectric for dynamic random access memory(DRAM)applications,offering a high dielectric constant with a remarkable leakage-lowering effect by Al acceptor doping.However,ATO fabrication via conventional supercycle-based ALD suffers from severe crystallinity loss during the growth of TiO_(2) upon Al doping owing to the dopant-induced lattice disorder.In addition,Al doping cannot reduce any inherent O vacancies(V_(O))of TiO_(2),although the original purpose of doping was to address the n-type nature caused by V_(O).To resolve these limitations,we propose a single-step,in-situ Ar/O_(2) post-doping plasma(PDP)process immediately after the Al dopant incorporation.Using the PDP process,simultaneous atomic-scale dopant migration-mediated crystallization and V_(O) annihilation were successfully initiated.Thus,the surface concentration of the dopant decreased,reducing the dopant-induced lattice distortion,while promoting the highly crystallized seed layer-like surface.Consequently,strong rutile-phase recovery was accompanied by enhanced lattice-matched growth.In addition,the PDP process significantly lowers the V_(O)-to-lattice oxygen ratio by facilitating the recombination between reactive O species and V_(O),increasing the corresponding 0.4 e V of conduction band offset(CBO).Despite the common trade-off between the dielectric constant and leakage,the Pt/PDP-ATO/Ru capacitor exhibited a simultaneous 30%increase in dielectric constant and up to a 1.6-order reduction in leakage current density.

文摘Chlorinated antibiotics pose great challenges in efficient removal,while for the first time,this work greatly enhanced their electrocatalytic dechlorination performance by construction of non-noble metal Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4) heterojunctions to improve process cost-effectiveness.The Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4) heterojunction demonstrated an effective removal of 93.6%thiamphenicol(TAP)within 45 min,with the rate constant(0.0584 min^(-1))that was 2.4 and 2.8 times that of Co_(3)O_(4) and g-C_(3)N_(4) alone,respectively.The formation of heterojunctions facilitated electron transfer,enriched the electron density on Co_(3)O_(4),and enhanced the adsorption of pollutants as well as the desorption of degradation intermediates.The enhanced production of atomic hydrogen(H*)of Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4),which increased by 13.6-28.2 times,contributed more to pollutant removal(64.0%),much higher than that of Co_(3)O_(4)(37.3%)and g-C_(3)N_(4)(6.1%).The energy barrier for H_(2) formation on Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4)(0.75 eV)was higher than that on Co_(3)O_(4)(-1.84 eV),supporting that it could stabilize H*and inhibit the formation of H_(2).The Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4) heterojunction exhibited stable performance with less impact by pH and co-existing ions,and posed effectiveness for the dechlorination of typical chlorinated antibiotics.This study offers an efficient and sustainable strategy for constructing heterojunctions to enhance the performance of non-noble metal catalysts in electrocatalytic dechlorination.

文摘Copper, iron and cobalt based pre-alloyed powders for diamond tools were prepared by ultrahigh pressure water atomization（UPWA） process. Pre-alloyed powders prepared by different processes including UPWA, conventional water atomization （CWA） and elemental metal mechanical mixing （EMMM） were sintered to segments and then compared in mechanical properties, holding force between matrix and diamond, fracture morphology of blank and sintering diamond section containing matrix. The results showed that the pre-alloyed powder prepared by UPWA exhibits the best mechanical properties including the relative density, the hardness and the bending strength of matrix sinteredsegment. Sintered segments fractography of UPWA pre-alloyed powder indicatesmechanical mosaic strength and chemical bonding force between the pre-alloyed powder and the diamond, leading to the great increase in the holding force between matrix and diamond. The mechanical performance andthe service life of diamond tools were greatly improved by UPWA pre-alloyed powders.
文摘A self-invented atomization process, in which molten metal is atomized into powder by a high-velocity gas stream carrying solid particles as the atomization medium, was introduced. The characteristics of powders prepared by common gas atomization and dual-phase flow atomization under similar conditions were compared. The experimental results show that the dual-phase flow-atomized powders have average particle sizes that are one-half that of the common gas-atomized particles;additionally, they possess a finer microstructure and higher cooling rate under the same atomization gas pressure and the same gas flow. The Weber number in the crash criteria of liquid atomization is adopted to measure the crash ability of the atomization media. The Weber number of the dual-phase flow atomization medium is the sum of that of the gas and the solid particles. Furthermore, the critical equation of the crash model in dual-phase flow atomization is established, and the main regularities associated with this process were analyzed.

文摘Ultrasonic arc spray atomization (UASA) method was used to prepare high-melting-point, immiscible AgNi15 (mass fraction, %) composite particles. Sieving was used to determine the size distribution of the AgNi15 particles. The morphology, rapidly solidified structure and metastable solution expansion of the AgNi15 particles were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The results show that the AgNi15 composite particles are spherical and well-dispersed, and the mass fractions of the particles with diameters <74μm and <55 μm are 99.5% and 98%, respectively. The rapidly solidified structure of the AgNi15 particles consists of spherical nickel-richβ(Ni)-phase particles dispersed throughout a silver-richα(Ag)-phase matrix andα(Ag)-phase nanoparticles dispersed throughout largerβ(Ni)-phase particles. The silver and nickel in the AgNi15 particles form a reciprocally extended metastable solution, and the solid solubility of nickel in the silver matrix at room temperature is in the range of 0.16%?0.36% (mole fraction).
文摘Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of bloodletting at Erjian（耳尖EX- HN 6） combined with traditional Chinese herbal medication （heat-clearing I recipe） ultrasonic atomization in treatment of acute catarrhal conjunctivitis （fulminant wind and invading fever）. Method One hundred and twenty- two patients （244 eyes） were randomly divided into 3 groups. In group A （40 cases, 80 eyes）, levofloxacin hydrochloride eye drops were administrated for four times per day; in group B （42 cases, 84 eyes）, ＂heat-clearing I recipe＂ ultrasonic atomization was applied for twice per day with 20 rain for each time; and in group C （40 cases, 80 eyes）, bloodletting at EX-HN 6 was applied before ultrasonic atomization on the first 3 days of treatment, with once per day. Result （1） The total effective rate of group C was 100.00% which was significantly superior to 88.75% in group A （P〈0.05）; （2） the average course of treatment of clinical cured patients of group C was significantly shorter than those of group A and group B （P〈0.05）. Conclusion It is indicated from this study that ＂heat-clearing I recipe＂ ultrasonic atomization combined with bloodletting at EX-HN 6 in treatment of acute catarrhal conjunctivitis （fulminant wind and invading fever） have definite efficacy, its clinical efficacy is significantly superior to traditional levofloxacin treatment, and its course of treatment is obviously shorter than that of simple traditional Chinese medicine ultrasonic atomization. Cold ultrasonic atomization can effectively relieve local burning sensation, obviously relieve reddening and swelling and heat pain of patients, and ease subjective discomfort and emotional tension of patients.
文摘A Laval-type supersonic gas atomizer was designed for low-pressure gas atomization of molten metals. The principal design ob-jectives were to produce small-particle uniform powders at lower operating pressures by improving the gas inlet and outlet structures and op-timizing structural parameters. A computational fluid flow model was developed to study the flow field characteristics of the designed atom-izer. Simulation results show that the maximum gas velocity in the atomization zone can reach 440 m＆#183;s-1;this value is independent of the atomization gas pressure P0 when P0〉0.7 MPa. When P0=1.1 MPa, the aspiration pressure at the tip of the delivery tube reaches a mini-mum, indicating that the atomizer can attain the best atomization efficiency at a relatively low atomization pressure. In addition, atomization experiments with pure tin at P0=1.0 MPa and with 7055Al alloy at P0=0.8 and 0.4 MPa were conducted to evaluate the atomization capa-bility of the designed atomizer. Nearly spherical powders were obtained with the mass median diameters of 28.6, 43.4, and 63.5μm, respec-tively. Compared with commonly used atomizers, the designed Laval-type atomizer has a better low-pressure gas atomization capability.
文摘Combustion of heavy fuels is one of the main sources of greenhouse gases, particulate emissions, ashes, NOxand SOx. Gasification is an advanced and environmentally friendly process that generates combustible and clean gas products such as hydrogen. Some entrained flow gasifiers operate with Heavy Fuel Oil(HFO) feedstock. In this application, HFO atomization is very important in determining the performance and efficiency of the gasifiers.The atomization characteristics of HFO(Mazut) discharging from a pressure-swirl atomizer(PSA) are studied for different pressures difference(Δp) and temperatures in the atmospheric ambient. The investigated parameters include atomizer mass flow rate( _m), discharge coefficient(CD), spray cone angle(θ), breakup length(Lb), the unstable wavelength of undulations on the liquid sheet(λs), global and local SMD(sauter mean diameter) and size distribution of droplets. The characteristics of Mazut sheet breakup are deduced from the shadowgraph technique. The experiments on Mazut film breakup were compared with the predictions obtained from the liquid film breakup model. Validity of the theory for predicting maximum unstable wavelength was investigated for HFO(as a highly viscous liquid). A modification on the formulation of maximum unstable wavelength was presented for HFO. SMD decreases by getting far from the atomizer. The measurement for SMD and θ were compared with the available correlations. The comparisons of the available correlations with the measurements of SMD andθ show a good agreement for Ballester and Varde correlations, respectively. The results show that the experimental sizing data could be presented by Rosin-Rammler distributions very well at different pressure difference and temperatures.
