Characteristics of nozzle tips used on mosquito-control equipment

摘要

The objective of the experiments described in this paper was to secure data on loss due to rebound and to atomization of liquid sprayed from two types of nozzle tips on surfaces having various absorptive properties.Both tips discharged almost identical quantities of liquid over the same period of time, but at different pressures.The results indicate a considerable range in rates of absorption by different surfaces. Losses due to rebound and to atomization appear to be almost identical for each type of nozzle tip at its respective discharge pressure, when each is discharging the same quantity of liquid in the same period of time.
