Abstract:
Equation (1) for calculating estimated cavitating jet performance E is set, a power index n(σ) of a term xn(σ) relating to a power law of an injection pressure p1 of a cavitating jet and a power index m(σ) of a term ym(σ) relating to a power law of a nozzle diameter d for producing the cavitating jet in Equation (1) are specified from data on the injection pressure p1, the nozzle diameter d and a cavitation number σ and data on cavitating jet performance ERmax corresponding to these pieces of data, and the estimated cavitating jet performance E is obtained using the data on the injection pressure p1, the nozzle diameter d and the cavitation number σ, the Equation (1) and the functions n(σ), m(σ) for the specified power indices.
Abstract:
A cavitation nozzle is disclosed, including a plate, a hollow body, and a cap removably engaged with the hollow body and holding the plate against a distal end of the hollow body. The plate may have a central aperture and a distal surface, wherein the distal surface is bisected by a groove and the hollow body is configured to deliver high pressure fluid through the central aperture. The delivered high pressure fluid may be discharged as a cavitating jet.
Abstract:
A water jet spray nozzle has a flow path including, from the upstream side to the end of the flow path, a small-diameter portion having a small inside diameter, an expanded portion having a larger inside diameter than the small-diameter portion, and a jet orifice having a smaller inside diameter than the expanded portion. The water jet spray nozzle is configured such that water passing through the flow path with a pressure of 0.2 to 0.6 MPa is retained in the expanded portion to as to generate cavitation bubbles from the small-diameter portion to the expanded portion. The inside diameter of the small-diameter portion § is 0.5 to 0.7 mm while the inside diameter of the jet orifice is 1 to 1.3 times larger than that of the small-diameter portion.
