Abstract
This paper deals with the formation of water nanodroplets in an induced eje ctor. The two processes of formation which occur simultaneously when the ej ector is fed with humid air are clearly shown with flow visualization. A br ief analysis of the light scattered by the droplets generated by condensati on within the flow reveals that their mean diameter does not exceed 0.1 mum .
