Inertia

Inertia is the tendency of objects in motion to remain in motion and objects at rest to remain at rest as long as no external forces cause their speed or direction to change. Droplets of water are also physical objects.

 

The tendency to inertia can be used for instance in:

  • Demisters
  • Swirl droplet separators
  • Jet ejectors
  • Jet scrubbers
  • Venturi scrubbers
