Spray Classification for Selected Flat Fan Nozzles

evaluation of an experimental model for flat-fan nozzles drift in wind tunnel by image processing

each year, millions of liters of toxic liquid, are used to combat with pests and plant diseases in farms. the wide spread use of chemical pesticides causes great environmental hazards. particles drift is one of the main problems in spraying which results in the contamination of farm lands, humans and animals. management of particle size is regarded as the main factor in drift control. in this s...

Effects of Formulated Glyphosate and Adjuvant Tank Mixes on Atomization from Aerial Application Flat Fan Nozzles

This study was designed to determine if the present USDAARS spray-nozzle models, which were based on spray solutions of water plus non-ionic surfactant, could be used to estimate spray droplet-size data for different spray formulations through use of experimentally determined correction factors. Twelve spray-solution treatments were evaluated, ten of which contained a formulated glyphosate prod...

performance of selected agricultural spray nozzles using particle image velocimetry

the aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of nozzle configurations on spray drift and explain the influences using several atomization characteristics (length of spray sheet, spray angle, velocity distribution of flow field, fluctuation of velocity, and droplet size). nozzles manufactured by one company (lechler gmbh, germany) were tested by spraying local tap water in a win...

Powder Stream Characteristics in Cold Spray Nozzles

The exponential increase of industrial demand in the past two decades has led scientists to the development of alternative technologies for the fast manufacturing of engineering components, aside from standard and time consuming techniques such as casting or forging. Cold Spray (CS) is a newly developed manufacturing technique, based upon the deposition of metal powder on a substrate due to hig...
