Definitions for "Atomization"
The act of reducing to atoms, or very minute particles; or the state of being so reduced.
The reduction of fluids into fine spray.
The formation of droplets by sending a high velocity stream on liquid into an air-filled space.
From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language ( 2007-01-23) Atomization of a sequence is defined as the result of invoking the fn:data function on the sequence, as defined in .
From XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0 ( 2007-01-23) Atomization of a sequence is defined as the result of invoking the fn:data function on the sequence, as defined in .
From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 ( 2007-01-23) The term atomization is defined in . It is a process that takes as input a sequence of nodes and atomic values, and returns a sequence of atomic values, in which the nodes are replaced by their typed values as defined in .
annihilation by reducing something to atoms
The process whereby a volume of liquid is converted into a multiplicity of small drops. The principal goal is to produce a high surface area to mass ratio so that the liquid will vaporize quickly and thus be susceptible to combustion.
the process of producing atoms for the atomic absorption measurement. The atom-forming process usually requires a high temperature (except for cold-vapor Hg methods) which is produced by a flame or by electrical current flowing through a resistive medium.
