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 ...

LONG BEACH, Calif. - Pumps are responsible for a significant part of the world’s electrical energy consumption, but their impact can be by using variable-speed pump control, especially in hydronic ...

Designers should always consider flow velocity through hose and tubing to optimize performance while avoiding excessive losses or pressure spikes. This aerospace high-pressure pump installation ...

Controlling the power output of a boiling water reactor (BWR)—such as Exelon Nuclear’s Quad Cities Unit 1 or 2 (Figure 1)—requires changing the reactivity of the core by repositioning the control rods ...

Fluid-handling or transfer devices are not basically concerned with the modulation or transfer of power, but only with the movement of fluid. Two major types of fluid-transfer pumps are ...

As the cost of components and pumps becomes more affordable, variable speed pumps are being used to increase the efficiency and reliability of water distribution systems in multi-story buildings.
