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.

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes.

Differential pressure (DP) is a common and well-understood technology for measuring the flow of process fluids for several reasons: Versatility: It can measure virtually any type of fluid: liquid, gas ...

Knots are not just for shoelaces and sailing lines. In the last decade, physicists have shown that swirling liquids can spontaneously tie themselves into intricate knots, and they are finally starting ...

Pump systems must be designed to meet the needs of specific processes, including preventing cross-contamination and damage due to shear forces. In a biopharmaceutical process, pumps are needed to move ...

Fluid-handling or transfer devices are not basically concerned with the modulation or transfer of power, but only with the movement of fluid. Two major types of fluid-transfer pumps are ...

Ultrafiltration is a pressure-driven membrane filtering process used to separate and/or purify dissolved or suspended particles from water and other liquids. Recent advances in materials and membrane ...
