Industrial Sprays and Atomization

Rating:
Summary: positive book
Review: I am studying Aerospace Technology at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. During my internship at the DLR (Deutsches Zentrum f?r Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V.) in Lampoldshausen, Germany, I had to work on a survey of the current status of injection technology. To produce a comprehensive overview I had to do a lot of research in order to collect all kinds literature dealing with atomization or injection. So I came across this book. At first I was amazed by the good introduction to the topic of sprays and their appliance in industry. I especially like the many examples that are given throughout the book. The great number of figures used greatly improves understanding. As I went on with my reading I became more and more disappointed about the poor language quality. I am not a native speaker of the English language myself and I understand how hard it can be to write in a language different from one's own, but I find the legebility is greatly reduced by the high count of grammatical mistakes. Another drawback is the very poor quality of the images used in this book. In quite a few of them I find it hard to identify what is shown on the pictures. These vitiations prevent the book from getting a five-star rating and do not justify the price by any means. I hope the next edition will correct them because the book as a whole is still a very goog approach at the topic of atomization.

Summary: Excellent book!
Review: I started to use the book three month ago because I'm researching in spray techniques. It's amazing how in just one book I could find lots of information related with my research; it could take me more time to collect it. The book has excellent theoretical explanations supported with a very good number of industrial examples. It is still being useful for me in a study of scale removal in oilwell tubing using spray technique.

Review: I started to use this book three moth ago, because I was looking for information related with atomization. It is amazing how in one book I could find all the information related with the topic, otherwise it would take me more time to find all this information separately. The book has excellent theoretical explanations and a very good number of industrial aplications.
The book still being useful for me in a investigation of scale removal in a oilwell tubing using high pressure sprays.

Review: The book has opened my horizon, being from Middle East and living abroad as an engineer researcher, I have found it particularly interesting with the up to date information. Wealth of information and excellent selection of images.
Well done authors and the publisher.
