The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00095 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.28 SJR: 0.341 SNIP: 0.536 CiteScore™:: 1.9 H-Index: 57

RESUMO

Modern spray requirements are constantly demanding lower flow rates per injector.With this as the motivation, we investigate the use of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology to design, fabricate, and characterize a monolithic microscale pressure swirl atomizer. MEMS wet-etch technology is used to form the inlet ports, swirl chamber, and exit orifice in a thin sheet of silicon (Si) by deep reactive-ion etching method. The spray performance of the micro atomizer is experimentally studied using high-speed imaging and optical patternation techniques. The geometrical features of the atomizer, such as number of tangential inlet port Np, width of the inlet port Wp, and diameter of exit orifice D0, are varied to understand their effect on spray performance. The results demonstrate that the exit orifice diameter has a major role in deciding the spray flow rate. However, spray uniformity is primarily determined by the number of inlet ports entering the swirl chamber and their widths. Finally, we show that MEMS technology is capable of producing sprays whose flow rates are nearly 50% of the current state of the art with acceptable atomization quality.
