There are two main types of fluid flow - laminar flow, in which the fluid flows smoothly in layers, and turbulent flow, which is characterised by chaotic motion and large amounts of mixing. In this ...

Chezy and Manning developed equations that are used to determine the average volumetric flowrate in open channels. This article explains a laboratory method that was developed and tested to further ...

(3) performing a low-pressure air test on a new pipeline before placing it into service; or testing a pipeline already in service for leaks. There are two pipe plug options to choose from. Mechanical ...

Ordinarily, if you want liquid to flow in only one direction through a pipe, that pipe needs to be equipped with a flap-type valve – which could fail. Now, however, scientists have created a new type ...

The amount of information provided in the a spec sheet for mass flow meters and mass flow controllers can be a little overwhelming for users, especially if they are not familiar with the terminology.
