Popis: Complex experimental investigation of superheated flow and dispersion characteristics of sprays in atomizing nozzles of various types is made. The comparative analysis of experimental and calculating investigations of thermo physic and hydro- gas-dynamic flow and disperse characteristics was carried out for various types of spray nozzles. It has shown that the main process, which determine peculiarities of superheated metastable water flow and phase transformation in spray nozzles, is quick (explosive) boiling up. And the optimal variant for superheated water atomization and achieving the most fine spray plumes, which contain mainly submicron droplet fraction, at initial temperature 240°C (and higher) is atomization by means of contracting-expanding nozzles. In such nozzles the explosive boiling is accomplished by quick transformation of foamed liquid into vapor-droplet flow. Diagnostic peculiarities are considered for these optically dense spray plumes; the auxiliary measurement methods were worked out for estimation superheated water high atomization level. The experimental and calculating data dimensionless treatment was made for achieving extremely fine (mainly submicron) superheated water spray. The dimensionless parameter, which determines necessary water (or some other liquids, for example – fuels) superheating level was derived. The possible technical applications of superheated water sprays are described, and up-to-date state of corresponding projects is given.
