ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The development of orifice-type high-pressure homogenization is presented from both theoretical and technical perspectives, including patent literature. In addition to the approaches of Chapters 5 and 6, attention is paid to the role of spatial variation of the flow field in different orifice geometries and the methods available for its study, in particular modeling and simulation. Experimental results from different orifice geometries are compared. A novel, more efficient homogenizer design suitable for partial homogenization is introduced, where remixing of the excess continuous phase occurs within microseconds of droplet breakup.
