What Is Fuel Atomization?

in internal-combustion engines, the mixing of fuel with air or some other oxidizer within the engine in order to achieve complete and rapid combustion of the fuel.

Why does fuel need to be atomized?

The more surface area, the faster the conversion to gas. As the engine speed increases, the velocity through the intake manifold also goes higher, and more of the fuel is atomized than would be at low speeds. ... Thus, it's very important for the fuel to be completely atomized.

What is the purpose of fuel atomisation and how is it achieved?

In this process, fuel is forced through a small jet opening under extremely high pressure to break it into a fine misted spray. From here, the mist is mixed with air (emulsified) and then vaporized into a rarefied form appropriate for use by an internal combustion engine.
