ABSTRACT:
An atomizer comprising a liquid inlet, a gas inlet arranged to receive a pressurized flow of gas, a liquid flowpath extending from the liquid inlet to a liquid stream outlet, and a curved gas flowpath extending from the gas inlet to a location adjacent the liquid stream outlet and including a supersonic flow region adjacent the liquid stream outlet, whereby supersonic gas flow adjacent the liquid stream outlet produces a shock wave which impinges on a liquid stream passing out through the liquid stream outlet for atomizing the liquid stream.
