Abstract

This paper reports the design, simulation, and atomization performances of sili-con-based 3-Fourier horn nozzles 1.80 x 0.21 x 0.11 and 1.20 x 0.15 x 0.11 cm3 in dimensions at ultrasonic drive frequencies of 1.0 and 1.5 MHz, respectively. The novel design of multiple Fourier horns in resonance facilitates Faraday instability of capillary waves with a specific wavelength, yielding monodisperse micron-size droplets. For example, the 1.0 MHz nozzles have produced 4.5 μm-diameter mono-disperse water droplets and the 1.5 MHz nozzles have produced 2.4 μm-diameter monodisperse ethanol droplets.
