Question Statement:

The type of typical spray distribution profile of a hollow cone nozzle is

Options:

  • (A) steep sided slopes
  • (B) gradual sloping sides
  • (C) narrow topped with gradual slopes
  • (D) narrow topped with steep sides

Official Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

A hollow-cone nozzle produces spray that is concentrated in a ring/cone shell (little liquid at the very centre of the pattern), so the cross-sectional distribution profile rises sharply from near-zero at the centre and falls sharply at the pattern edge — i.e., a profile with steep sided slopes, in contrast to a flat-fan nozzle's more gradual, tapering triangular profile. Answer: (A).
