  2. Aerosol spray dispenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosol_spray_dispenser

    Aerosol spray is a type of dispensing system which creates an aerosol mist of liquid particles. It comprises a can or bottle that contains a payload, and a propellant under pressure. When the container's valve is opened, the payload is forced out of a small opening and emerges as an aerosol or mist. Aerosol spray can

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_nozzle

    Spray nozzles can have one or more outlets; a multiple outlet nozzle is known as a compound nozzle. Multiple outlets on nozzles are present on spray balls, which have been used in the brewing industry for many years for cleaning casks and kegs. [2] Spray nozzles range from those for heavy duty industrial uses to light duty spray cans or spray ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_(liquid_drop)

    Aerosol spray can. A spray is a dynamic collection of drops dispersed in a gas. [1] The process of forming a spray is known as atomization. A spray nozzle is the device used to generate a spray. The two main uses of sprays are to distribute material over a cross-section and to generate liquid surface area.

  5. Nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozzle

    A nozzle is a device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow (specially to increase velocity) as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe. A nozzle is often a pipe or tube of varying cross sectional area, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas). Nozzles are frequently used ...

    The making of an aerosol, which is a colloidal suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in a gas; An apparatus using an atomizer nozzle; Sprays, mists, fogs, clouds, dust clouds and smoke, which appear to be atomized; A nebulizer, which is a device used to administer medication in the form of a mist inhaled into the lungs

  7. Cascade impactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_impactor

    An impactor is a device that classifies particles present in a sample of air or gas into known size ranges. It does this by drawing the air sample through a cascade of progressively finer nozzles. The air jets from these nozzles impact on plane sampling surfaces and each stage collects finer particles than its predecessor.

  8. Fog nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_nozzle

    A fog nozzle. A fog nozzle is a firefighting hose spray nozzle that breaks its stream into small droplets.By doing so, its stream achieves a greater surface area, and thus a greater rate of heat absorption, which, when compared to that of a smoothbore nozzle, speeds its transformation into the steam that smothers the fire by displacing its oxygen.

  9. Spray drying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_drying

    The spray drying technique was first described in 1860 with the first spray dryer instrument patented by Samuel Percy in 1872. [citation needed] With time, the spray drying method grew in popularity, at first mainly for milk production in the 1920s and during World War II, when there was a need to reduce the weight and volume of food and other materials.
