Microsprayers, also called mini-sprinklers or spitters, are similar in principle to drip systems in that water is applied only to a fraction of the ground surface. However, instead of dripping water from narrow-orifice emitters, microsprayer systems eject fine jets that fan out from a series of nozzles. Each nozzle can water an area of several square metres, which tends to be much larger than the individual areas wetted by single drip emitters.... microsprayer irrigation retains the potential benefits of drip irrigation : it permits high-frequency, low-volume irrigation as well as the injection of fertilizers into the water supply. 1, record 7, English, - microsprayer%20irrigation

However, instead of dripping water from narrow-orifice emitters, microsprayer systems eject fine jets that fan out from a series of nozzles. Each nozzle can water an area of several square metres, which tends to be much larger than the individual areas wetted by single drip emitters.... thanks to the larger nozzle orifices and the greater rate of discharge, the hazard of clogging is reduced and the filtration requirements are not as stringent as in the case of drip irrigation.... The pressure requirements, however, remain in the order of one to two atmospheres-lower than those for regular sprinklers but still requiring pumpage or a commanding reservoir elevation of 10 metres or more. In other respects, microsprayer irrigation permits high-frequency, low-volume irrigation as well as the injection of fertilizers into the water supply....

This work is equal to the difference between the surface energy of the wetted substrate and the interfacial energy between the substrate and the wetting liquid... It is numerically equal to the product of surface tension and the cosine of the advancing contact angle.... In the case where the wetting liquid is a solution, the phenomenon is accompanied by adsorption and the definition must be considered as applying to the wetting of an infinitely small element of surface. The relevant variable then corresponds to the partial differential of the work gained in relation to the wetted area. 1, record 15, English, - wetting%20tension
