THE DISTRIBUTION OF WATER BY IMPINGING-JET SPRAYS

Bowes, P.C., 1954. THE DISTRIBUTION OF WATER BY IMPINGING-JET SPRAYS. Fire Research Notes 91


ABSTRACT

An analysis of the dimensions of, and the distribution of water in, the floor area wetted by impinging-jet sprays projected horizontally has shown that pressure has little effect on the size of the area or the uniformity of distribution. Decreasing the size of the spray nozzles and increasing the angle at which the jets impinge produce a more even distribution of water.
