Calculation of the Optimum Cone Angle of a Confuser Used for Reversive-Jet Cleaning of Metal Surfaces against Corrosion by I. V. Kachanov, A. N. Zhuk, I. M. Shatalov, V. V. Veremenyuk, A. V. Filipchik

“…The reverse jet cleaning technology is based on a physical principle which presupposes that a jet of working fluid (pulp based on river sand or bentonite clay) rotates 180º when it hits the surface to be cleaned and it leads to an increase in jet impact on the surface to be cleaned by 1.5–2 times due to occurrence of a reactive component. …”
