In this study, we evaluated the fundamental physical behavior during droplet formation and flow from a rotary bell spray in absence of an electrostatic field. The impact wide range operating parameters sprayer, such as rates, rotational speeds, spatial positioning, on sizes size distributions using three-dimensional (3-D) mapping was studied. results showed that increasing speed caused Sauter mean diameter droplets to decrease while rate increased sizes. effect, however, dominant compared...
This brief paper explains the slight differences in governing equations for a fluid film spinning cone, and mechanism that reduces order of solution. Spinning cones with centrally supplied spreads over its inner surface as thin have been subject interest many years. Though often cast mathematical analysis, understanding this process is important, especially application automotive painting. The analysis consists system obtained from Navier–Stokes along simple boundary conditions describe...
Abstract This article analyzes a published formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations cast into surface-following coordinates and provides some additional mathematical background to follow article. Ubiquitous in paint shops automotive plants around world, high-speed rotary bell is succinctly described as rapidly spinning concave axisymmetric surface with liquid supplied from port coinciding center rotation. The transfers momentum film causing it flow outward. Upon reaching periphery, flung...
