Engineers use equations to help us understand the pressure and flow rates in pipes. Pipe systems are important to us, so it’s ...

The momentum flux or the force per unit area on a surface within a fluid can be separated into two components: the pressure and the shear stress. The latter is due to variations in the flow velocity, ...

points 1 and 2 lie on a streamline, the fluid has constant density, the flow is steady, and there is no friction. Although these restrictions sound severe, the Bernoulli equation is very useful, ...

They maintain consistent pressure within a system, although they experience some level of pressure drop, called droop, as the flow increases. Pressure regulators do not control flow; they are used to ...

A back pressure regulator maintains upstream pressure at the desired setting by opening to allow excess upstream pressure to flow downstream. Pressure relief valves are self-operating valves that are ...

The temperature, pressure, and feed rates of the liquid and gas are all automatically controlled, as is the sampling at the end of each run and the initiation of the next. This delivers a high ...
