# Industrial Specification: Deflector/Vane Assembly

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical assembly within a nozzle head that directs and controls fluid or gas flow patterns.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-15.0 bar differential pressure, 0-150°C fluid temperature, 0.1-5.0 m/s flow velocity**. Failure boundary: **Structural failure at 18.5 bar differential pressure, material yield at 250°C, flow separation at 8.2 m/s**, Mechanism: **Boundary layer separation causing flow instability (Reynolds number &gt; 5000), thermal stress exceeding 350 MPa yield strength, fatigue cracking at stress concentration factors &gt; 2.8**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Darcy-Weisbach Pressure Drop**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\Delta P = f \cdot \frac{L}{D} \cdot \frac{\rho v^2}{2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Critical for sizing CIP (Clean-In-Place) pump heads.
