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.

Fluid flow dynamics and valve performance analysis encompass the study of fluid behaviour within valve systems, which is crucial for ensuring efficient, safe, and reliable operation in diverse ...

• The first step in selecting a valve is determining its function. • Review Cv or pressure drop when considering one valve versus another. • Don’t overlook maintenance requirements when specifying a ...

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 ...

ISA recently published Fluid Mechanics of Control Valves: How Valves Control Your Process by Hans D. Baumann, Ph.D., PE — a world-renowned expert on control valve technology who is credited with more ...

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 ...
