# Industrial Specification: Cooling Spray System

## 1. Technical Definition
A spray-based cooling subsystem integrated into run-out tables for controlled temperature reduction of hot metal products.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **3.5-8.0 bar (50-116 psi) at 15-35°C water temperature**. Failure boundary: **Nozzle clogging occurs at &gt;150 μm particle size, cavitation begins at 0.3 bar vapor pressure differential**, Mechanism: **Cavitation-induced erosion from Bernoulli's principle (P + ½ρv² = constant) when local pressure drops below water vapor pressure at operating temperature**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **LMTD Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference**:

> **Primary Equation**: $Q = U \cdot A \cdot \Delta T_{lm}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Sizing validation for pasteurization and cooling tunnels.
