Characterization of Spray Angle and Velocity in Water-Mist Nozzle by Using Response Surface Approximation

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presented characterization of spray velocity and angle of spray nozzle systems for cosmetic products. Diameter and length of nozzle orifice were chosen as shape factors of the spray system. Combinations of the factors were determined by using Central Composite Design. Fluid analysis was conducted by using Fluent to obtain spray angle and velocity. RSM (Response Surface Method) was used to approximate the relationship between these 2 factors and spray characteristics. To evaluate the proposed method, experimental work with existing was conducted and good agreement between simulation and experimental results.
