# Industrial Specification: Nozzle/Diffuser Array

## 1. Technical Definition
A structured arrangement of nozzles and diffusers designed to distribute oxidant uniformly within a dispensing system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-8.0 bar**. Failure boundary: **Structural yield at 12.4 bar internal pressure for 316L stainless steel**, Mechanism: **Plastic deformation due to hoop stress exceeding material yield strength (σ_y = 205 MPa for 316L at 20°C)**.

### 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.
