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 ...

Download the PDF brochure for more information about Alicat Scientific's Whisper series flow meters and controllers. Pressure drop can be defined as the quantity of line pressure, which is lost ...

Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...

These graphs compare the pressure/flow characteristics of orifice and capillary restrictors. The characteristic impedance of an orifice restrictor does not vary linearly, so it will not always match ...

Recent advances in flow sensing have resulted in more accurate, durable, and economical meters. Increasingly important is the ability to interface meters with a computer for instantaneous flow readout ...

Flow reversal in piping systems can degrade equipment performance and cause significant water hammer, potentially resulting in catastrophic failure. Power plant condenser cooling water systems—or ...

Two Fayette County homes 4 miles apart went up in flames in a 10-month period in 2021 and 2022 while firefighters reportedly struggled to draw water from nearby fire hydrants. Residents of those homes ...

Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is a key reading doctors use to assess blood flow through your body. It’s related to your systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings but accounts for flow and ...
