Abstract
Spray combustors are now widely used in many technologies, spanning commodity chemical synthesis (combustion of molten sulfur en route to sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and phosphorus en route to phosphoric acid (H3PO4), ...), and nanoparticle synthesis (eg., via “spray pyrolysis”), to energy conversion (oil-fired furnaces or boilers) and chemical propulsion (aircraft gas turbines and liquid-propellant rocket motors). While important space, weight, and pollutant constraints inevitably differ from application to application, spray-“fuel”-fed combustors share certain common performance characteristics, and there is a considerable economic incentive to develop rational yet tractable design methods for them. While this intrinsically interdisciplinary subject continues to evolve, here, we briefly review some of the principal contributions to these challenging goals published by chemical engineers since the inception of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry (I&EC). Not surprisingly, the earliest contributions focused on ...
