Question: Paint ( a Bingham fluid ) is applied with a spray gun by forcing it under high pressure through a small orifice. The average diameter

Paint (a Bingham fluid) is applied with a spray gun by forcing it under high pressure through a small orifice. The average diameter of the droplets (d) produced is known to be a function of
0: yield stress
: Bingham liquid viscosity
: liquid density
P : pressure at the spray gun
: surface tension
Q : volumetric flow rate
D : orifice diameter
Use dimensional analysis to find a dimensionless expression for d.
