The production of small fluid droplets relies on an instability of solutions
to the Young-Laplace equation. We ask whether smaller droplets can be produced
by changing the shape of the nozzle. At a given critical pressure, the circular
nozzle actually produces the largest droplet. The droplet volume can be
decreased by up to 18% using a triangular nozzle with stretched corners.
