Predict spray system performance with these services

| By Chemical Engineering

This company offers process-modeling services for predicting the performance of spray systems or fabricated components when actual operating conditions are difficult to replicate in the laboratory. Services offered are computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element methods (FEM) and fluid structure interaction (FSI). CFD is used to determine how spray performance is affected by gas and liquid flows, gas velocity, temperature, pressure and other operating conditions. Models can determine factors such as evaporation time, spray trajectory, drop size distribution in the gas flow and wall wetting. FEM is used to analyze material suitability for spray injectors, while FSI evaluates the interaction between solid structures and flowing fluid at given conditions. — Spraying Systems Co., Wheaton, Ill.
