ATOMIZATION

'Atomization' (British English: 'atomisation') is conversion of bulk liquid into a spray or mist (i.e. collection of drops), often by passing the liquid through a nozzle. Despite the name, it does not usually imply that the particles are reduced to atomic sizes, although that is the case with plasma arc waste disposal.
An 'atomizer' (British English: 'atomiser') is an atomization apparatus; carburetors, airbrushes, misters, and spray bottles are only a few examples of atomizers used ubiquitously. In internal combustion engines, fine-grained fuel atomization is instrumental to efficient combustion.
In some manufacturing process, fine powder is produced by spraying molten or dissolved materials through an atomizer and solidifying the droplets.
