fuel sprays for furnaces, internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and rockets ;
sprays in industrial processes for evaporation, drying, humidification, cooling, air conditioning, and chemical reactions;
atmospheric sprays, as rain, fog, haze, sleet and snow, their formation, evaporation and freezing;
