Influence of Constructive Features of Sprayers on Fluid Flow Parameters

Abstract

The process of spraying a liquid has a wide range of applications in various fields of technology. The spray characteristics primarily rely on design features of the sprayers and their modes of operation. It is known that values of the flow rate and capture radius of the sprayed jets depend on the pressure, nozzle diameter, shape, size and the design features of divider. Currently, these phenomena are still insufficiently studied, however, directly or indirectly observed in practice. Consequently, a significant variety of spray gun designs has appeared. The present paper discusses the impact of the design parameters of nozzles on the flow parameters determining the characteristics of jets. Studies of the interaction of fluid flow with a divider of various shapes are also given.
