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...

abstract currently in iran, some manual methods are used for measuring spray droplet size which is very laborious and time consuming. in this paper, a software is presented based on image processing techniques, which is suitable for small object detection purpose that can be used in blob analysis of sprayer calibration and other similar applications. the algorithms have been implemented and ada...

the present work was aimed to design and develop self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (snedds) with the objective to overcome the problems associated with the delivery of talinolol, a hydrophobic and poorly bioavailable drugs having ph dependant solubility. the solubility of talinolol in various oils, surfactants, cosurfactants and aqueous phases were determined to identify and select the...

As a droplet moves, due to evaporation at the surface, the droplet size is gradually reduced. Due to decreasing the size of the droplets moving in the spray core, the surface charges become closer and the repulsive force between the charges increases. When the Coulombic force overcomes the surface tension force (Rayleigh instability) the droplet breaks into smaller droplets (Coulomb fission). T...

The Lattice Boltzmann Method is used to simulate the dynamics of droplet deformation in a channel flow under various conditions. The droplet behavior has been investigated under transient conditions. For cases where the droplet remains attached to the surface, the shape deformation of the droplet during crawling is captured. It has been shown that there is a limiting value for the droplet volum...

Various compounds have been used for microencapsulating of fish oilso far, but in thiswork for the first time, inulin and casein which are both known for their functional properties, were used as the coating materialof fish oil.This study aimed to investigate the properties of nano-emulsions (droplet size measurements and pH) based on changes in the concentration and type of wall and their effe...
