Ultrasonic Atomization of Liquids
Abstract
An experimental study was made of the mechanism by which the ultrasonic vibration of liquid surfaces causes atomization. At exciting frequencies in the range of 10 to 800 kc, uniform patterns of crossed capillary waves were found on the liquid surface when atomization occurred. The number-median diameter of the particles produced was found to be a constant fraction, 0.34, of the capillary wavelength; the capillary wavelength is calculable by Kelvin's equation using the exciting frequency and properties of the fluid being atomized. The evidence is strong that the mechanism of ultrasonic atomization involves the rupture of capillary surface waves and the subsequent ejection of the wave peaks from the surface as particles.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
