METHOD OF FORMING MONODISPERSED FLOW OF DROPS FROM LIQUID JET Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: manufacture of spheroids of preset size from conducting solutions of respective substances in various industries. SUBSTANCE: method may be used in nuclear industry where it is used for manufacture of fuel elements of reactors of nuclear power plants. The method consists in that nondisintegrated part of solution jet effluent from nozzle is deflected to opposite directions square to jet axis with resonance frequency f_r, equalling , where v_s is jet velocity; λ_k is length of capillary wave. Jet is deflected by local electric field with amplitude value of voltage within (1-1.5)10⁴ V/cm varying with frequency f_r from opposite directions square to its axis. In flow formed by the method, drops are of the same diameter and their paths and distance between them are similar. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 2 cl, 1 dwg
