Droplet Size Distribution in Spray

Prediction of Droplet Size and Velocity Distribution in Droplet Formation Region of Liquid Spray

Determining the distributions of size and velocity of droplets formed at the end of primary breakup region is followed in this paper. The droplet formation stage at the end of primary breakup is random and stochastic and it can be modeled by statistical means based on the maximum entropy principle (MEP). The MEP formulation predicts the atomization process while satisfying constraint equations ...

Prediction of Droplet Size and Velocity Distribution in Spray Using Maximum Entropy Method

The prediction of droplets diameter and velocity distribution in a spray is so difficult since its process and mechanism is not completely known and depends too many parameters. The early stage of the atomization process (Primary Breakup) is clearly deterministic, whereas the final stage of spray formation (Secondary Breakup) is random and stochastic. In the second region, which deals with the ...

Measuring Spray Droplet Size from Agricultural Nozzles Using Laser Diffraction

When making an application of any crop protection material such as an herbicide or pesticide, the applicator uses a variety of skills and information to make an application so that the material reaches the target site (i.e., plant). Information critical in this process is the droplet size that a particular spray nozzle, spray pressure, and spray solution combination generates, as droplet size g...
