Lubrication Nozzle Design
Lubrication Nozzle Design
(OP)
Trying to design a basic lubrication nozzle. The tube has a 0.375" OD and 0.25" ID with a solid cylinder inserted at the end of the tube. The length and diameter of hole to be drilled through this cylinder needs to be determined.
The fluid being used is standard ATF. The pressure drop is 125 psi. Using 0.25 GPM per 1" per gear face width (3.5") per gear mesh as a rule of thumb. Any help to find the length and diameter of hole to be drilled is appreciated. Please let me know if any more information is needed.
