Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...

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.

Let’s delve a bit deeper into the Control Flow Guard feature in Windows 11/10 and answer a few questions. Control Flow Guard is a feature that makes it harder for exploits to execute arbitrary code ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

Beyond the wheel, the most important mechanical equipment serving humanity is the centrifugal pump. Centrifugal pumps make modern quality of life possible. Turn on a faucet and a centrifugal turbine ...

Integrated slug-flow optimization can mitigate flow problems in a wide range of both offshore and onshore operating conditions. Slug flow is one of the most common flow states in horizontal and ...

New research has improved control of slack line flow in steep slope liquids pipelines, whether during commissioning, steady operations, or in the wake of an accident. New research has improved control ...
