Description

Engineering optimal particle maturation in multicomponent sprays. This project aims to develop novel methods to precisely measure and control particle maturation processes in multicomponent technical aerosols. The project expects to generate knowledge in the field of multiphase fluid mechanics and aerosol science through a combination of laser fluorescence, X-ray scattering and microscopy techniques. Expected outcomes of this project include a capacity to engineer particle size and shape in multicomponent aerosols across a range of aerosol devices which are capable of outperforming currently available products while enabling the transition to more environmentally friendly propellant chemicals. This project aims to benefit the pharmaceutical industry by accelerating the design of aerosol delivery systems.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 4012 - Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Engineering.
