Abstract:
    A two-fluid nozzle for atomising a liquid-solid slurry comprises a first conduit through which an atomizing gas flows and a second conduit located within the first conduit. The liquid-solid slurry to be atomized flows through the second conduit. The first conduit has a reduced portion which causes an increased in velocity of the gas passing therethrough. This reduced portion terminates at a dispersion chamber into which the liquid-solid slurry from the second conduit also flows. The high velocity gas intersects the liquid-solid slurry stream and produces a dispersion with same and also effects some atomization of the slurry. The dispersion is discharged through a third conduit which is oblique to the first conduit and which has a cross-sectional area for flow less than the combined cross-sectional areas for flow of the reduced portion of the first conduit and the second conduit at their respective discharge ends.
