  2. Spray (liquid drop) - Wikipedia

    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.

    If this occurs, the hacker can then control the vehicle, putting the safety and privacy of the driver and passengers in jeopardy. Many devices are being designed to help protect drivers' private information along with the safety of their vehicle technology, and the NHTSA is working closely with engineers to develop this future technology. [11]

  4. Automotive safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_safety

    The terms "active" and "passive" are simple but important terms in the world of automotive safety. "Active safety" is used to refer to technology assisting in the prevention of a crash and "passive safety" to components of the vehicle (primarily airbags, seatbelts and the physical structure of the vehicle) that help to protect occupants during a crash.

  5. Spray nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_nozzle

    A spray nozzle or atomizer is a device that facilitates the dispersion of a liquid by the formation of a spray. The production of a spray requires the fragmentation of liquid structures, such as liquid sheets or ligaments, into droplets, often by using kinetic energy to overcome the cost of creating additional surface area.

  6. Aerosol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosol

    An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas. [1] Aerosols can be generated from natural or human causes. The term aerosol commonly refers to the mixture of particulates in air, and not to the particulate matter alone. [2] Examples of natural aerosols are fog, mist or dust.

  7. Droplet vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droplet_vaporization

    The spherically symmetric transient droplet heating model (3) solves the equation for heat diffusion through the liquid phase. A droplet heating time τ h can be defined as the time required for a thermal diffusion wave to penetrate from the droplet surface to its center. The droplet heating time is compared to the droplet lifetime, τ l. If ...

  8. Electrospray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrospray

    Between 1964 and 1969 Sir Geoffrey Ingram Taylor produced the theoretical underpinning of electrospraying. [8] [9] [10] Taylor modeled the shape of the cone formed by the fluid droplet under the effect of an electric field; this characteristic droplet shape is now known as the Taylor cone. He further worked with J. R. Melcher to develop the ...

  9. Spray tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_tower

    A spray tower (or spray column or spray chamber) is a gas-liquid contactor used to achieve mass and heat transfer between a continuous gas phase (that can contain dispersed solid particles) and a dispersed liquid phase. It consists of an empty cylindrical vessel made of steel or plastic, and nozzles that spray liquid into the vessel.
