Description

The present application is based on, and claims priority from JP Application Serial Number 2021-174419, filed Oct. 26, 2021, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.


BACKGROUND
1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a droplet jet device.


2. Related Art

In the past, there have been used a variety of types of droplet jet device for spraying a liquid in a droplet state such as cleaning equipment or cosmetic equipment. For example, in JP-T-4-500038 (Document 1; the term “JP-T” as used herein means a published Japanese translation of a PCT patent application), there is disclosed a bubble nozzle structure which can eject a sprayed liquid by continuously forming bubbles.


In the droplet jet device for spraying the liquid in the droplet state, when being used in, for example, the cleaning equipment or the cosmetic equipment, there is performed crushing an object, cleaning a human skin, or the like by making the droplets collide with the object or the human skin. In such a case, it becomes necessary for the liquid to be sprayed as droplets with high rectilinearity from a jet nozzle of the droplet jet device. However, in the bubble nozzle structure disclosed in Document 1, the liquid having been sprayed is mixed with air to be foamed, and is ejected as the sprayed liquid. In the configuration in which the liquid is ejected as the sprayed liquid, in some cases, it is unachievable to spray the liquid as droplets with high rectilinearity, which cannot be said that the liquid is sprayed in a preferable droplet state.

In view of the problems described above, a droplet jet device according to the present disclosure is a droplet jet device configured to form a liquid into droplets to jet the droplets, the droplet jet device including a main body having a flow channel through which the liquid circulates, and a jet nozzle having at least one nozzle hole, in which

Embodiment of Droplet Jet Device

The droplet jet device 25 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will hereinafter be described in detail based on FIG. 1. The droplet jet device 25 is a skin-cleaning droplet jet device suitable for cleaning of a skin of a face, an arm, a hand, a foot, a back, and so on. It should be noted that it is obvious that the droplet jet device 25 is not limited to those for skin cleaning.


As shown in FIG. 1, the droplet jet device 25 according to the present embodiment is provided with the jet nozzle 11 having at least one nozzle hole 13 for spraying the liquid 3, a pressurizing liquid supplier 27 for pressurizing the liquid 3 to feed the liquid 3 to the jet nozzle 11, and a controller 4 for controlling an operation of the pressurizing liquid supplier 27 to make the liquid 3 sprayed from the nozzle hole 13 fly toward an object 9 such as a skin in a state of being fragmented into droplets 7 from a continuous flow 5.


The droplet jet device 25 is provided with a spray unit 2 having the jet nozzle 11 for spraying the liquid 3, a liquid tank 6 for retaining the liquid 3 to be sprayed, a pump unit as the pressuring liquid supplier 27, a liquid suction tube 12 forming a flow channel 10 for the liquid 3 connecting the liquid tank 6 and the pressurizing liquid supplier 27 to each other, and a liquid sending tube 14 also forming the flow channel 10 connecting the pressurizing liquid supplier 27 and the spray unit 2 to each other. The pressurizing liquid supplier 27 is controlled by the controller 4 in a pump operation such as pressure of the liquid sent to the spray unit 2 through the liquid sending tube 14. In other words, the supply pressure is controlled. Here, the pressurizing liquid supplier 27 corresponds to the main body having the flow channel 10 through which the liquid 3 circulates.


It should be noted that the droplet jet device 25 is capable of spraying the liquid 3 from the spray unit 2 in a variety of conditions due to the control by the controller 4. A preferable configuration example of the droplet jet device 25 will hereinafter be described.


Two Conditions for Stable Droplet Jet

First, as a premise, there will be described two conditions for stable droplet jet. As described in “Journal of Jet Flow Engineering” Vol. 13, No. 1 (1996) pp. 86-98 and so on, it has been known that an aspect of a liquid jet flow jetted from a single nozzle hole 1 can be classified as follows using a jet number Je.

    • 1. Dropping Region (Je≤0.1)
    • 2. Smooth Flow Region (0.1<Je<10)
    • 3. Wavy Flow Region (10≤Je≤400)
    • 4. Spray Flow Region (400<Je)


It has been known that it is necessary to spray the liquid 3 in the smooth flow region or the wavy flow region in order to stably form a droplet flow which is high in rectilinearity and small in variation in grain size from the liquid jet flow thus jetted. In other words, it is necessary to set parameters so as to fulfill 0.1<Je≤400. Here, the jet number Je is expressed as Formula (1) below. It should be noted that ρ represents a density [kg/m3] of the liquid, σ represents a surface tension [N/m] of the liquid, v represents velocity [m/s] of the liquid, r represents a nozzle hole diameter [m], and ρa represents a density [kg/m3] of air, respectively.

Further, in order to make a lot of droplets 7 accurately hit home, it is necessary for the droplets 7 generated to have high rectilinearity. In the generation of the droplets 7 high in rectilinearity, it is indispensable for the liquid jet flow as a source of the droplets 7 to have the rectilinearity. In order to provide the liquid jet flow jetted from the nozzle hole 13 with the rectilinearity, it is necessary for the liquid 3 flowing through the flow channel 10 to be jetted in a laminar flow state from the nozzle hole 13. The aspect of a fluid flowing through the flow channel 10 such as a pipe is determined based on a value of the Reynolds number Re, and in general, when Re≤2300 is true, it is determined that the flow in the flow channel 10 is the laminar flow. Here, the Reynolds number Re is expressed as Formula (2) below. It should be noted that Q represents a volume flow rate [m3/s], Ac represents a flow channel cross-sectional area [m2], DH represents a hydraulic diameter [m], ν represents a kinematic viscosity coefficient [m2/s], and ρ represents a viscosity coefficient [Pas], respectively.

Control Example when Flow Channel has Circular Shape

There will be described a spray control example of the liquid 3 by the controller 4 when the shape of the flow channel 10 is a circular shape. Here, in FIG. 2, a left-hand diagram is a schematic diagram viewed from an ejection direction of the droplets 7, and a right-hand diagram is a side cross-sectional view corresponding to the left-hand diagram. In FIG. 2, the following parameters are schematically expressed so as to visually be recognized. It should be noted that the expression that the shape of the flow channel 10 is a circular shape means that the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 in a portion adjacent to the jet nozzle 11 is a circular shape, and means that the cross-sectional shape of a flow channel inner wall 102 is a circular shape as shown in the left-hand diagram in FIG. 2. It should be noted that a shape of a flow channel outer wall 101 is not particularly limited.


When the flow channel 10 is a circular pipe, since the hydraulic diameter is equal to the diameter of the flow channel 10, when defining the flow channel diameter which is the diameter of the flow channel 10 as R [m], Formula (3) described below is obtained.

Further, since an equation of continuity is true between the flow channel 10 and the nozzle hole 13, the volume flow rate Q fulfills Formula (5) described below. Here, V represents a flow velocity [m/s] in the flow channel 10, and A represents the total cross-sectional area [m2] of the nozzle holes 13.

Formula (17) represents the fact that the flow channel diameter R is proportional to a 3/2-th power of the diameter r of the nozzle hole taking m as a proportional constant.

Formula (20) shows the fact that s is decided by physical property values of the liquid 3 and the air density ρa. Here, the air density ρa is about 1.293 [kg/m3] at a temperature 0° C., and hardly changes even when the temperature changes. Therefore, pa can be assumed as a constant. Therefore, s is a constant decided by the physical properties of the liquid 3.


It should be noted that the following can be said from Formula (19).






m



Je

Re





Specifically, it is understood that m is proportional to Je1/2, and is inversely proportional to Re. Therefore, it is understood that Je1/2/Re takes a minimum value in a condition in which the jet number Je takes a minimum value, and at the same time, the Reynolds number Re takes a maximum value.


As described above, since it is necessary to fulfill 0<Re≤2300 and 0.1<Je≤400 for stably forming the droplet flow which is high in rectilinearity and small in variation in grain size from the liquid jet flow jetted, Formula (21) described below is obtained.

Further, a value of Je1/2/Re becomes infinitely large as Re decreases. Here, a lower limit value of Re is considered. When considering a flow of air, a condition for the flow of air to be the laminar flow is generally said to be Re<0.1. Since the Reynolds number of the liquid 3 tends to be higher than the Reynolds number of a gas, it is conceivable that there is no need to substantially consider the range of Re<0.1 in the flow of the liquid 3. Therefore, when setting the substantial minimum value of the Reynolds number as Re=0.1, it is conceivable that the substantial maximum values of Je and Re are Je=400 and Re=0.1, which can be expressed as Formula (22) described below.

Further, by applying Formula (23) to Formula (17), Formula (24) described below is obtained. Formula (24) shows the fact that the flow channel diameter R can be decided by the nozzle hole diameter r and the physical properties of the liquid 3 flowing through the flow channel 10.

It can be translated from Table 1 that the s value in liquid water (0° C. through 100° C.) under ordinary pressure monotonically increases as the temperature rises. Therefore, the s value of the liquid water substantially falls within a range represented by Formula (25) described below.

Further, Table 2 described below is a table in which physical property values of a variety of types of liquids 3 such as a commercially available lotion or hair growth tonic and glass which is heated to be liquefied, and the s values obtained using those physical property values are compiled, and FIG. 4 is a graph in which the vertical axis represents the s values in the media described in Table 2, water at 0° C. and water at 100° C., and the horizontal axis represents the media.

Table 1 and Table 2 show the fact that the s values of the variety of types of liquids except the glass substantially fall within the range of Formula (26) described below.





0.177×104<s<5.37×104  (26)


In other words, when assuming that the liquid 3 easily available for an ordinary person is used in the droplet jet device 25, it is inferred that the s value of the liquid 3 to be made to flow through the flow channel 10 of the droplet jet device 25 substantially falls within a range represented by Formula (27) obtained by combining the ranges of Formula (25) and Formula (26).





0.177×104<s<16.4×104  (27)


Therefore, when setting the s value to s=0.100×104 as a value slightly smaller than the minimum value of Formula (27), an m value minimum required in the droplet jet device 25 which is generally used becomes as in Formula (28) described below. Further, by designing the flow channel diameter R and the nozzle hole diameter r of the droplet jet device 25 after setting the m value which fulfills Formula (28), it becomes possible to form a variety of types of solution into droplets to jet the droplets toward the object 9.






m>1.375×10−4×0.100×104·N





m>0.138N  (28)


Here, since the purposes such as cleaning or crushing of the object 9 are assumed, a certain level of portability is required for the droplet jet device 25. However, as is understood from Formula (17), when increasing the m value, the flow channel diameter R also increases in proportion to the m value. Although any large amounts can be adopted as the m value within a numerical range in which Formula (28) is fulfilled, the larger the m value is made, the more the flow channel 10 grows in size unlimitedly. Since the growth in size of the droplet jet device 25 conflicts with a design concept of portability, it is preferable to decrease the upper limit value of m so that the flow channel diameter R does not become unnecessarily large. The liquid 3 which is the most difficult to spray out of the liquids 3 in Table 1 and Table 2 is water at 100° C. which has the largest s value of about 16.4×104. Table 2 shows the fact that the s values of the variety of lotions and hair growth tonics other than water are values smaller than this value. Therefore, it is inferred that by setting the s value to s=20.0×104 as a value slightly larger than the maximum value of Formula (27), it is possible to form almost all liquids 3 which is expected to be used in general purposes into droplets to jet the droplets. Specifically, a substantial upper limit value of m when limiting the purpose of the droplet jet device 25 to general purposes is expressed as Formula (29) described below.






m<200×20.0×104·N





m<4.00×107N  (29)


Therefore, the range of the m value which is assumed to be necessary in the droplet jet device 25 when assuming general purposes becomes as in Formula (30) described below.





0.138N<m<4.00×107N  (30)


Further, when applying Formula (30) to formula (17), the range of the flow channel diameter R is limited as in Formula (31).

Here, by squaring the each side of Formula (31), and then coordinating the result, Formula (32) described below is obtained. By setting the number of the nozzle holes N, the flow channel diameter R, and the nozzle hole diameter r so as to fulfill Formula (32) described below, it is possible to form almost all liquids 3 assumed to be used for general purposes into droplets to jet the droplets, and therefore, it is possible to use the droplet jet device 25 having the flow channel 10 and the nozzle hole 13 as the cleaning equipment using the impact power caused by the liquid 3 formed into the droplets. In other words, by adopting the configuration which fulfills Formula (32), when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is a circular shape, it is possible to spray the liquid 3 in the state of the preferable droplets 7.

As is understood when referring to Table 3, from the parameters obtained by an experiment, the values of Je and Re fall within ranges of the values taken as the data of the calculation in the present disclosure. Further, it is understood that the value of R2/(N2·r3) obtained from the design values of the flow channel and the nozzle hole 13 with which these liquids can stably be formed into droplets and then jetted fulfills Formula (32). Therefore, it is understood that Formula (32) appropriately represents the condition necessary for the actual droplet jet.


Here, Table 4 shows a minimum value and a maximum value of the flow channel diameter R allowed in Formula (32) when specifically setting the nozzle hole diameter r in the droplet jet device 25 using a single nozzle hole 13 (N=1).

Incidentally, the liquid U in Table 2 and Table 3 is a liquid the largest in value of the kinematic viscosity coefficient ν of the liquids 3 the physical property values of which are shown in the present specification. The liquid U shows the largest value in Je and Re out of the liquids 3 a variety of parameters of which are actually measured, but the values are Je=73.76 and Re=4.86 at largest, which are significantly smaller compared to Je=400 as the upper limit value of Je and Re=2300 as the upper limit value of Re. Further, the liquid T in Table 2 and Table 3 is a liquid the smallest in value of the kinematic viscosity coefficient ν of the liquids 3 the physical property values of which are shown in the present specification. The values of Je and Re of the liquid T are Je=5.02 and Re=2.57, respectively.


Therefore, the numerical ranges of 0.1<Je≤400 and 0.1<Re≤2300 used for derivation of Formula (32) are too broad in some cases. Therefore, by narrowing the ranges of Je and Re, there is obtained a range of the flow channel diameter R which is realistic and is suitable for the actual droplet jet device 25. Here, based on the values of Je and Re which are obtained by the experiment shown in Table 3, the ranges of Je and Re are set as 1≤Je≤100, 1≤Re≤100. Then, Formula (21) and Formula (22) are rewritten as Formula (33) described below and Formula (34) described below, and as a result, Formula (35) described below corresponding to Formula (23) is obtained.

Formula (37) also represents the numerical range including all of the values of R2/(N2·r3) obtained based on the experimental values shown in Table 3. In other words, by adopting the configuration which fulfills Formula (37), when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is a circular shape, it is possible to spray the liquid 3 in the state of the preferable droplets 7 using almost all liquids 3 to be used generally. Table 5 shows the minimum value and the maximum value of the flow channel diameter R allowed in Formula (37) when specifically setting the nozzle hole diameter r in the droplet jet device 25 using the single nozzle hole 13 (N=1).

Further, it is understood from the result in Table 3 that when specializing the droplet jet device 25 in performing cleaning of a skin using, for example, water alone, the range of Formula (37) is too much. This is caused by the fact that the range of the s value of water is narrower than the range of the s value shown in Formula (23). Further, when the droplet jet device 25 is used for the purpose of skin cleaning, since the object which the droplets collide with is a human skin, there is no chance that the water at such a high temperature as 60° C. through 100° C. is used. Therefore, in the case of the droplet jet device 25 intended to perform the skin cleaning with water, what is sprayed is limited to the water at the temperature in a range of about 20° C. through 40° C. In this condition, according to Table 1, the s value is narrowed down to the range of Formula (38).

Further, since the ranges of Je and Re of water in the temperature range described above can be set as 1≤Je≤15, 1≤Re≤10 according to Table 3, the expression of Formula (39) described below and Formula (40) described below is possible, and the range of m under this condition becomes to be expressed as Formula (41).

Control Example when Flow Channel has Rectangular Shape

Then, there will be described when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is not the circular shape, but is a rectangular shape. Here, in FIG. 5, a left-hand diagram is a schematic diagram viewed from an ejection direction of the droplets 7, and a right-hand diagram is a side cross-sectional view corresponding to the left-hand diagram. In FIG. 5, the following parameters are schematically expressed so as to visually be recognized. It should be noted that the expression that the shape of the flow channel is a circular shape means that the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 in a portion adjacent to the jet nozzle 11 is a rectangular shape, and means that the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel inner wall 102 is a rectangular shape as shown in the left-hand diagram in FIG. 5. It should be noted that the shape of the flow channel outer wall 101 is not particularly limited. What is affected by the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is the hydraulic diameter DH represented by Formula (3). A defining formula of the hydraulic diameter DH is expressed as Formula (43) described below. Here, L is a wet-edge length of the flow channel 10, and is a contour length of the flow channel inner wall 102 on the cross-sectional surface of the flow channel 10 in another expression.

Since an equation of continuity is true between the flow channel 10 and the nozzle hole 13 even when the cross-sectional surface of the flow channel 10 has the rectangular shape, Formula (5) is fulfilled. Further, since the condition of the nozzle hole 13 is substantially the same as when the flow channel 10 has the circular shape, the total cross-sectional area A of the nozzle holes 13 fulfills Formula (6), and the cross-sectional area An of each of the nozzle holes 13 fulfills Formula (8). Therefore, Formula (46) described below is derived.

The subsequent calculation is the same as when the flow channel 10 has the circular shape. In other words, there is nothing more than the replacement of R in Formula (17) by 2(a+b)/π. This corresponds to the change from the contour length πR of the flow channel inner wall 102 when the cross-sectional surface of the flow channel 10 has the circular shape to the contour length 2(a+b) of the flow channel inner wall 102 due to the change of the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 to the rectangular shape. Therefore, when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is the rectangular shape, Formula (51) corresponding to Formula (32) becomes as follows.

Here, there will be described when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is a square shape. In FIG. 6, a left-hand diagram is a schematic diagram viewed from an ejection direction of the droplets 7, and a right-hand diagram is a side cross-sectional view corresponding to the left-hand diagram. In FIG. 6, the following parameters are schematically expressed so as to visually be recognized. It should be noted that the expression that the shape of the flow channel is a square shape means that the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 in a portion adjacent to the jet nozzle 11 is a square shape, and means that the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel inner wall 102 is a square shape as shown in the left-hand diagram in FIG. 6. It should be noted that the shape of the flow channel outer wall 101 is not particularly limited. When the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is the square shape, defining the length of each side as p [m], since p=a=b is true, it is possible to replace a+b in Formula (52), Formula (54), and Formula (55) with 2p, and thus, Formula (58) described below is obtained from Formula (56) described below. As described above, by adopting the configuration which fulfills Formula (58), when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is the square shape, it is possible to spray the liquid 3 in the state of the preferable droplets 7.

Control Example when Generalizing Cross-Sectional Shape of Flow Channel

Further, there will be made a consideration generalizing the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 without specifying the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10. Here, in FIG. 7, a left-hand diagram is a schematic diagram viewed from an ejection direction of the droplets 7, and a right-hand diagram is a side cross-sectional view corresponding to the left-hand diagram. In FIG. 7, the following parameters are schematically expressed so as to visually be recognized. It should be noted that FIG. 7 shows an example of when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is a polygonal shape. The cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is not limited to the polygonal shape, and can include an arbitrary curved portion. By substituting Formula (43) as the defining formula of the hydraulic diameter DH directly in Formula (2), Formula (59) described below is obtained.

Formula (5) is true between the flow channel 10 and the nozzle hole 13 irrespective of the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10. Further, since the condition of the nozzle hole 13 is substantially the same as when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel is the circular shape and when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel is the rectangular shape, the total cross-sectional area A of the nozzle holes 13 fulfills Formula (6), and the cross-sectional area An of each of the nozzle holes 13 fulfills Formula (8). Therefore, Formula (60) described below is derived.

The subsequent calculation is the same as when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is the circular shape. In other words, there is nothing more than the replacement of R in Formula (17) by L/π. Actually, when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is the circular shape, since the contour length L of the flow channel inner wall 102 is L=πR, the left-hand side of Formula (64) becomes L/π=πR/π=R, and thus, Formula (17) is obtained. Further, when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is the rectangular shape, since the contour length L of the flow channel inner wall 102 is L=2(a+b), the left-hand side of Formula (64) becomes L/π=2(a+b)/π, and thus, Formula (50) is obtained. In essence, it is derived from the defining formulas of the jet number Je and the Reynolds number Re alone that the contour length L of the flow channel inner wall 102 is proportional to the 3/2-th power of the nozzle hole diameter r irrespective of the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10. Further, it is also understood at the same time that the proportional constant on this occasion is mπ. Further, it also shows that it is possible to limit a possible range of a value of a ratio between the contour length L of the flow channel inner wall 102 on the cross-sectional surface of the flow channel 10 and the 3/2-th power of the nozzle hole diameter r based on the two conditions, namely “the liquid 3 sprayed forms droplets,” and “the flow in the flow channel 10 is a laminar flow.” By generalizing Formula (32), Formula (37), and Formula (42) based on the fact described above, Formula (65) through Formula (67) described below are obtained. It should be noted that here the calculation is performed assuming π2 as 9.87.

As long as Formula (65) is fulfilled, it is possible to design the flow channel 10 for the droplet jet device 25 to stably jet the droplets 7 having rectilinearity with an arbitrary shape just by deciding the nozzle hole diameter r and the number of the nozzle holes N. In another expression, by deciding the number of the nozzle holes N, the nozzle hole diameter r, and the contour length L of the cross-sectional surface of the flow channel so as to fulfill Formula (65) described above, and adopting the droplet jet device 25 decided in such a manner, it is possible to spray the liquid 3 in the state of the preferable droplets 7 irrespective of the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10. It should be noted that the contour length L of the cross-sectional surface of the flow channel means the contour length of the cross-sectional surface of the flow channel 10 in a portion adjacent to the jet nozzle 11. It should be noted that the number of the nozzle holes N is not particularly limited, and it is possible to adopt a variety of numbers as the number of the nozzle holes N as shown in FIG. 8 through FIG. 10.

As shown in Table 7, it is understood that the values of L2/(N2·r2) are included in the ranges of Formula (65) and Formula (66) in all of the liquids. It is also understood that the values of L2/(N2·r2) in the water at the temperature no lower than 20° C. and no higher than 40° C. are all included in the range of Formula (67). In other words, it can be said that Formula (65) through Formula (67) appropriately represent the experimental values.


Regarding Cross-Sectional Area of Flow Channel

Then, there will be calculated the contour length L of the cross-sectional surface of the flow channel and the cross-sectional area Ac of the flow channel which are allowed in Formula (65) through Formula (67) when specifically setting the nozzle hole diameter r. The range of the contour length L of the cross-sectional surface of the flow channel can directly be decided based on Formula (65) through Formula (67). Further, when the range of the contour length L of the cross-sectional surface of the flow channel is decided, the maximum value of the cross-sectional area Ac of the flow channel corresponding to the range is also decided automatically. This uses the fact that when arbitrarily changing a shape of a figure while keeping the value of the contour length L of the cross-sectional surface constant, the area is maximized when the shape is a circular shape. In other words, the area of the circular shape corresponding to a maximum value Lmax of the contour length L of the cross-sectional surface of the flow channel takes a maximum value Acmax of the cross-sectional area Ac of the flow channel. When defining the maximum contour length of the flow channel as Lmax and a maximum diameter of a circular pipe having a circular cross-sectional shape as Rmax, Lmax=πRmax is true, and therefore, the maximum cross-sectional area Acmax of the flow channel is obtained as Acmax=πRmax2/4=Lmax2/4π. Further, when the cross-sectional shape of the flow channel 10 is the rectangular shape, the cross-sectional area of the flow channel 10 is maximized when the cross-sectional shape is a square shape, and the maximum value is obtained as Acrmax=Lmax2/16. A minimum contour length Lmin, the maximum contour length Lmax, a minimum diameter Rmin of the circular pipe having a circular shape corresponding to the minimum contour length Lmin, the maximum diameter Rmax of the circular pipe having a circular shape corresponding to the maximum contour length Lmax, the maximum cross-sectional area Acrmax of the flow channel when the cross-sectional shape is a rectangular shape, and the maximum cross-sectional area Acmax of the flow channel calculated based on Formula (65) through Formula (67) are respectively shown in Table 8 through Table 10.
