    Bresnan cellar nozzle Rotating nozzle tip having two or more outlets forming water jets that propel the tip while spraying water in a circular pattern; conveniently attached to several feet (a meter) of rigid pipe with handles or legs for supporting the nozzle while it is suspended through a hole in the floor above. Bulk tank

  3. 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.

  4. K-factor (fire protection) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-factor_(fire_protection)

    In fire protection engineering, the K-factor formula is used to calculate the volumetric flow rate from a nozzle. Spray nozzles can for example be fire sprinklers or water mist nozzles, hose reel nozzles, water monitors and deluge fire system nozzles.

  5. Sprayer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprayer

    Sprayers range in size from man-portable units (typically backpacks with spray guns) to trailed sprayers that are connected to a tractor, to self-propelled units similar to tractors with boom mounts of 4–30 feet (1.2–9.1 m) up to 60–151 feet (18–46 m) in length depending on engineering design for tractor and land size.

  6. Spray (liquid drop) - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  7. 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.

  8. Propelling nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propelling_nozzle

    The true worth of the C-D nozzle was not realised on the F-101 as the intake was not modified for the higher speeds attainable. [25] Another example was the replacement of a convergent with a C-D nozzle on the YF-106/P&W J75 when it would not quite reach Mach 2. Together with the introduction of the C-D nozzle, the inlet was redesigned.

  9. Hydraulic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_pump

    A critical element in vane pump design is how the vanes are pushed into contact with the pump housing, and how the vane tips are machined at this very point. Several type of "lip" designs are used, and the main objective is to provide a tight seal between the inside of the housing and the vane, and at the same time to minimize wear and metal-to ...
