nozzles atomize by causing the interaction of high velocity gas and liquid. Compressed air is most often used as the atomizing gas, but sometimes steam or other gases are used. The many varied designs of two-fluid nozzles can be grouped into internal mix or external mix depending on the mixing point of the gas and liquid streams relative to the nozzle face.

Internal-mix two-fluid

Internal mix nozzles contact fluids inside the nozzle; one configuration is shown in the figure below. Shearing between high velocity gas and low
