Title: Research on droplet formation for application to kraft black liquors: Technical report No. 2

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6969902

The Department of Energy and the American Paper Institute joined in supporting research at the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Maine at Orono to develop a fundamental understanding of the liquid droplet formation process with particular emphasis on kraft black liquors. The five year program is divided into five tasks. Work began on October 1, 1983. Tasks I and II have seen significant progress and are the primary topics of this report: droplet formation from single jet, and measurement of surface tension. The overall objective of this program is to develop a fundamental understanding of the droplet formation process at conditions relevant to the processing of kraft black liquors. Goal is to develop new knowledge which can result in the design of better spray nozzles for more energy efficient and productive operation of kraft recovery boilers.
