The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00095 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.28 SJR: 0.341 SNIP: 0.536 CiteScore™:: 1.9 H-Index: 57

ABSTRACT

This article reports on an experimental investigation of inductively charged sprays used in crop spraying. Two-phase fluid mechanics and electric measurements are employed to provide an interdisciplinary basis for the electro-hydrodynamic characterization of the sprays. The charged sprays are produced using an air-atomizing induction-charging nozzle, which is convenient and practical for the electrification of aqueous liquids. The study comprises the examination of free-spray and deposition aspects of charged and uncharged sprays. The spray structures are characterized based on the drop size and velocity data obtained using laser-based techniques. The deposition study is further concerned with spectrophotometry analysis to quantify the drop residue on a grounded target. The charging characteristics of charged sprays are evaluated through the spray electric current and flow rate measurements, providing the spray specific charge. Test results demonstrate the dominance of aerodynamic effects within the charged free sprays, whereas, in the vicinity of a grounded target, the sprays are influenced by the attractive electrostatic force fields created, leading to greater drop depositions on the target.
