Water stream projection distance calculation for different nozzle shapes

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the projection distance of water from different nozzle shapes, specifically when directed horizontally or at a 45-degree angle. The user seeks guidance on the relevant formulas, as they lack a background in the subject and find existing resources challenging to interpret. They are using a 120 PSI diaphragm pump with specific tubing and nozzle dimensions and are interested in the effects of gravity and nozzle angle on water distance. There is a suggestion to explore spray coverage formulas and connections to water jet formulas for better understanding. The conversation emphasizes the need for practical guidance and theoretical insights into nozzle performance.

Hello,
I have built a device and i want to test different types of nozzles. Problem is; the size of the nozzles i need are hard to find in company stock. So i need to make sure before i make any order.

I have no background or degree any related area so it is hard to understand the equations, how to use them in my case.
I have checked all the formulas about nozzle distance but in most examples the nozzle are directed to the ground.

If someone have spare time, please guide me about the formula for distance that nozzles can shoot water before drift when directed horizontally or upwards with a 45 degree angle like in the pic attached.

I am using a 120 PSI diaphragm pump, 6mm tubes and 0.4mm misting nozzle. What is the effect of the gravity and nozzle angle in this case?

Thank you.

Please tell us more details about the equations you've seen, and what you have tried so far.
 
I imagine the OP has looked for information in Firefighting sources? I would imagine that tables obtained from measurements would be more available than equations.

Hello, i am working on the spray coverage formula and trying to find a connection with the water jet formula. I need to find the "L" before drift in different positionings of the nozzle. Atmospheric conditions but no wind. I guess it will be theoritical.
Thank you.

@sophiecentaur now i will check those too, Thank you.

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
