  abstract = {Organic heat transfer fluids (HTFs) are widely used because of their
	low vapor pressures and wide ranges of working temperatures. It is
	a common misconception that operations involving HTFs below their
	flash point temperatures do not represent a hazard, but aerosols
	of combustible liquids at temperatures below their flashpoints have
	been recognized for their potential to cause fires and explosions.
	The hazard is further exacerbated by the paucity of experimental
	information about the formation and behavior of aerosols from HTF
	releases. This article presents droplet sizes, spray development,
	and aerosol formation distances for an alkylated aromatic HTF aerosol
	generated mechanically by means of a leak from a pressurized container
	into ambient air as functions of HTF temperature, pressure, and orifice
	size. A Malvern Laser Diffraction Particle Analyzer was used to measure
	aerosol droplet sizes along the centerline of the liquid sprays,
	and high-speed photography was used for spray visualization and interpretation
	of stream atomization. Effects of pressure, temperature, and orifice
	diameter confirm critical Weber Number theory},
