Electrohydrodynamic generation of monodisperse submicron aerosols

Abstract

Generation of aerosols by electrostatic spraying of liquids from the tip of a needle placed into a capillary has been studied at a voltage lower than that corresponding to the corona ignition in the regime of the formation of single monodisperse droplets. The peculiarities of the jet-type motion of low-volatile liquid droplets with submicron sizes have been considered.
