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.

Pneumatic valve selection is often treated as a component-sizing exercise, with datasheet-based specifications. Once pressure ...

Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Throttling involves reducing orifice size until all of the flow cannot pass through the orifice; bypassing involves routing part of the flow ...

The paper proposes the full linearization of nonlinear characteristics of flow control valves via variable gear ratio design. The inherent nonlinear function of the normalized valve capacity ...

The Tesla valve is a passive check valve with no moving parts. Because it has no moving parts, there is less wear and tear while reducing the risk of clogging. In general, the resistance to flow in ...

If you suddenly have the need for a two-way, flow control valve — from a valve-selection standpoint — what kind of questions do you ask yourself? Many, perhaps, don’t ask any questions and may make ...

A single power plant uses hundreds of valves to control almost every aspect of its operation. Valves, in conjunction with a controlling actuator, are used for pollution control, feed water, cooling ...

May 17 (UPI) --Scientists have discovered new potential applications for a valve invented and patented by famed engineer Nikola Tesla 100 years ago. Researchers conducted a variety of tests using the ...

Incorrect valve selection and poor fluid dynamics lead to catastrophic pressure blowouts, destroyed pump systems, and severe ...
