Wind tunnel measurements on the effect of sprayer speed on the droplet size spectra

The quality of agrochemical spraying depends on speed of the sprayer and cross wind. Dynamic spray mechanism was designed and installed in the wind tunnel for simulating the effect of speed of the sprayer and cross wind combinations on droplet spectra classifications (DSC). It is able to generate tw...
