Experimental study of mist generated from metalworking fluids emulsions

The influence of ventilation modes on oil mist particles diffusion in a machining workshop

“…Results showed that the fine and ultra-fine particles account for a large portion of the oil mist. Dunja S. et al [ [10] , [10] ] studied the impact of three different industrial MWFs on the particle size of aerosol at oil-in-water emulsion concentrations of 1%, 6% and 10%. They observed that increasing the oil concentration in the emulsion can result in larger particle size of aerosol, while the viscosity of the emulsion had little impact on the particle size.…”

Oil mist collection and oil mist-to-gas conversion via dielectric barrier discharge at atmospheric pressure

“…The removal of oil mists from air streams is important in many industrial applications, such as machining and cutting operations, engine closed crankcase ventilation, and compressed gas cleaning. Sokolovic et al [12] carried out an experimental study of aerosol/mist formed from emulsions of three different commercial metalworking fluids under laboratory conditions. The data for aerosol size distribution, Sauter mean diameter, mass median diameter, and mass concentration are reported and discussed.…”
