EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE CONDITIONS OF SPRAYING LIQUIDS WITH THE AIR FLOW

The processes of air movement in various types of air ducts are of great practical interest in terms of designing, manufacturing, and installing spraying devices used in agricultural production to create artificial fog with fine sprinkling and treat crops from pests and diseases. The authors analyze the existing methods of liquid spraying and reveal their main advantages and disadvantages. Under special attention is the pneumatic method. The study found that this method is used to spray contaminated liquids and the spray quality insignificantly depends on the liquid flow rate. It was revealed that one of the main factors affecting the quality indicators of spraying devices is the dynamic pressure of the gas medium acting on the liquid during its spraying. The research has determined that the dynamic pressure value of the airflow during the liquid movement in a horizontal duct depends on three factors: the presence of additional resistance, estimated by the value of the effective area duct, the position of the point at which the pressure was measured relative to the duct axis and the distance between the measurement point and the airflow source. The experimental data were tested for reproducibility using the Cochran criterion at the 5% significance level, which proved the process reproducibility. The research has shown that the presence of additional resistance in the duct and the position of the dynamic pressure measurement point relative to the axis of the duct have the same effect on its value. The dynamic pressure of the airflow is primarily dependent on the remoteness of the measurement point from its source.
