Agricultural Spray Dynamics for Automated Pollination of Kiwifruit
… limited. Specific focus is on kiwifruit and on spraying from a moving robotic platform. A suite of commercial and early-concept nozzles was analyzed and compared, then evaluated based on operating constraints. This was accompanied by experiments conducted in orchards during pollination season, …

Identifying droplet boundaries: impacts of surface topography on droplet freezing and an investigation of the impacts of surfactant on sprayed droplet dynamics
… freezing on surfaces, and 2) droplet spray dynamics from irrigation nozzles. Freezing of droplets can cause a wide variety of problems, including frosting on windshields; icing on wind turbines and airplanes; and freezing of heat pipes, thereby reducing their ability for thermal …

The Influence of Food Physical Properties on Transfer Efficiency and Adhesion in a Tumble Drum Process
… equipped with electrostatic coating equipment (Spray Dynamics, St. Clair, MO). Surface oil content was determined by dipping each food item in previously weighed petri dishes containing petroleum ether and measuring the amount of weight gain after the petroleum ether evaporated. Moisture content …
