16
Q

2 classification of nozzle according to the spray pattern

best suited for spraying crops because it produces a spray in which droplets approach the leaves from several angles

A

cone type

17
Q

2 classification of nozzle according to the spray pattern

operates in high pressure and requires small orifice opening

A

cone type

18
Q

2 classification of nozzle according to the spray pattern

best suited for spraying flat surfaces as in the application of herbicides

A

fan type

19
Q

2 classification of nozzle according to the spray pattern

low pressure and requires large orifice opening

A

fan type

20
Q

the sprayer nozzle performance is dependent on?

A

hydraulic energy

21
Q

the higher the pressure, the ________ the droplets

A

smaller

22
Q

the higher the pressure, the _______ the flow rate

A

higher

23
Q

the higher the pressure, the wider the spray angle

true or false

A

true

24
Q

principle of creating hydraulic energy

A

pressure is created by adding air to a container with a fixed volume of liquid

air <——> liquid

25
Q

pressure is created by adding air to a container with a fixed volume of liquid

this principle is observed in??

A

compression sprayer

26
Q

pressure is created by adding liquid to a container with a fixed volume of air

A

knapsack sprayer

27
Q

sprayer calibration

for a given sprayer, the following factors should be determined

A
  1. nozzle discharge at different pumping rates (L/min)
  2. effective working width or swath (m)
  3. walking speed (m/min)
  4. application rate (L/ha)
28
