US 2010/0101978A1 Apr.29,2010 [0121] FIG.21illustratesthenozzles136andthechannel 138 therein. The total cross-sectional channel area (8,) of each multi-jet nozzle is less than that of the next multi-jet nozzle (SW1) following the ?oWpath, according to the equa tion:l.0§Sn+1/Sn§l.l,Wheren:l,2,3,4,5,6,7,8or9.This helps save energy required forpumping a ?uid ?oW through the multi-zone cavitation system. To scale back the cavitation device parts, for example, the multi-jet nozzle 136, it is nec essary to place the channels 138 for ?uid passage as close as possible. The number of the channels 138 of the multi-jet nozzle136islimitedbytheratioofthetotalareaofthelargest cross-sectional openings of the channels (5d) to the surface areaofthemulti-jetnozzle(SD):Sa/81320.8,Where (kisthenumberofchannelsofthemulti-jetnozzle;SZ-IJ'IZd7-2/ 4, Where dz. is the largest diameter of the channels I, and SD:J'|§D2/4,WhereD isthemulti-jetnozzlediameter.
