Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

Controlling the shape of fluid streams is important across scales: from industrial processing to control of biomolecular interactions. Previous approaches to control fluid streams have focused mainly ...

The Type 8742/46 range of mass flow controllers/meters (MFC/M) for a range of gas applications now features analog communications onboard and includes an integrated Profibus-DP option. The Type 8742 ...

Cooper-Standard has been granted a patent for a pump assembly with a pump housing, impeller, motor, and valve to control fluid flow. The design includes an actuator motor for valve rotation, ensuring ...

“Life is difficult” is the first sentence from the book The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck. In the same manner, this article starts out, “Flow control is difficult.” If it was not difficult, ...

Healthy digestion depends on a delicate balance of fluid in the gut. At the heart of that balance are epithelial cells, which line the intestinal wall and control how salt and water move in and out of ...

Designers should always consider flow velocity through hose and tubing to optimize performance while avoiding excessive losses or pressure spikes. This aerospace high-pressure pump installation ...

The flow of all fluids, whether liquid or gas, will have one of three states: laminar, turbulent, and transitional. This article discusses flow principles and pressure-based flow measurement. Laminar ...

Precisely formulated gas mixtures with known concentrations of particular target gases are referred to as calibration gas standards. To guarantee the accuracy of gas concentration measurements, almost ...
