A method for causing a very fine atomization or vaporization of a liquid or liquid-like fluid, where the resulting atomized or vaporized solution is entered into engine, instrument or area for the fluid to be in mixed. The ability of the near supercritical atomizer to produce very fine droplets of a wide range of liquids without any aspirant is very important for number of industrial applications. Especially when the drop size can be so finely controlled. Industries needing such fine atomization include applications such as combustion, engines, scientific equipment, chemical processing, waste disposal control, cleaning, etching, insect control, surface modification, humidification and vaporization. It is important in these applications not to cause a decomposition of the material being atomized. Staying below the supercritical point normally enables no decomposition and/or no precipitation of components within the liquid or fluid in most applications, but a very fine atomization is obtained without the need of any aspirant.

[ I claim:] [1.]1. A process for injecting fuel into a combustion engine, comprising the acts ofproviding a source of fuel within a range of the critical pressure associated with the fuel,providing a restrictor tube having a tip,passing the fuel through the restrictor tube, andraising the temperature of the fuel as it passes through the restriction proximal the tip of the restrictor tube to within a range of the critical temperature associated with the fuel, whereby fuel leaving the restrictor tube is projected as an atomized spray into the combustion zone.
