It's a common misconception that fluids with different flow rate requirements always need separate pumps. In reality, that's not necessarily the case. Image Credit: Fluid Metering, Inc. When working ...

Flow meters are used to measure the rate of flow of liquids or gases, just like electric meters measure the amount of electricity consumed. However, unlike electric meters, which are either ...

“The Forces of Fluid Power” presents a comprehensive overview of fluid power transmission systems. It offers a broad scope of information, from fluid characteristics and basic energy forms to force ...

A graph of the scaling relationship between fluid flow and fracture stiffness is shown. The shape of the symbol indicates the fracture length scale from 0.0625 meter (circles) to 1 meter (triangle) ...

In January, we looked at one of the most commonly used formulas (Formula 1) in hydronic heating design: 500 = fluid factor based on water as the system fluid This formula can be used to determine the ...

Membranes composed of man-made carbon nanotubes permit a fluid flow nearly 10,000 to 100,000 times faster than conventional fluid flow theory would predict because of the nanotubes’ nearly ...

In the 1960s, drillers noticed that certain fluids would firm up if they flowed too fast. Researchers have finally explained why. Fluids can be roughly divided into two categories: regular ones and ...
