Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...

A new equation for accurate approximation of the Moody friction factor in the general gas-flow equation better approximates a wide range of Reynolds numbers than previously published equations. Other, ...

Values of this expression for typical published FBBV C values range from 0.10 to 0.25, clearly exceeding the threshold value. A second challenge related to the ultrahigh capacities of these valves is ...

Too often, pneumatic circuits are sized based on the valve’s flow coefficient, C v, without considering other system components. In the past, focusing on the valve alone often sufficed because air was ...

This article describes how a multivariable pressure transmitter with built-in dynamic compensation can correct for many of the errors and inaccuracies that can occur in differential pressure based ...
