Abstract:
The topic of water jet orifices efficiency and effectiveness evaluation has been considered in this paper. The performed analysis is based on the evaluation of the discharge, velocity and contraction coefficients for different water orifices. In order to overcome the difficulty to measure the water velocity at the orifice exit, which can reach 900 m/s in case of pure water jet applications (without abrasive additives), a suitable laser Doppler measurement system has been applied. An analysis of orifice performances is presented in the present paper, also considering the case of broken orifices, very important for industrial applications.
