ABSTRACT

The efficient combustion of a liquid fuel, in bulk, is not possible. Intimate mixing of the fuel and air, or com­ bustion oxygen source, is required. To achieve this inti­ mate mixing requires atomizing the liquid into many small droplets to increase the surface area for vaporiza­ tion and mixing with air. This is discussed in Volume 1, Chapter 10. In that chapter, the basic principle for oil gun design and its function is discussed. Here, the dis­ cussion is extended to practical applications and differ­ ent types of oil guns and oil burners.
