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 ...

Horiba has been granted a patent for a fluid control device that prevents unnatural flow rate behavior. The device includes a control valve, pressure sensors, a calculation unit, and an output unit.

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 ...
