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.

Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...

Researchers from the University of Washington want to improve the pipe. Specifically, they are developing a flexible pipe with an interior helical structure that makes fluid flow one way and not the ...

University of Texas Permian Basin engineering students wrapped up the semester by presenting their senior design projects—a project all engineering students must complete to graduate. Mechanical ...

Scientists are developing custom 3D-printed replicas of human hearts - in an effort to improve life-saving technology fitted in thousands of patients each year. The models mimic blood flow and ...

In process flow control, there are many factors affecting variability, but the greatest contributor is the control valve’s performance. Issues associated with control valves, such as dead band, ...
