Version 4 of the Bell & Gossett System Syzer® program for PC computers is available. It is an update of a tool for calculating flow rates and pressure drops in HVAC piping systems. The program ...

The human body is absolutely amazing. The average human has 60,000 miles of blood vessels. For every pound of fat you gain, the body creates seven miles of new blood vessels all by itself. No wonder I ...

Bypass pipes, accompanied by a three-way control valve, are often seen in hydronic systems at both served loads (e.g., reheat coils) as well as at primary equipment (e.g., cooling towers). Reasons for ...

Modern civilization depends on the transport of liquid and gases in systems of pipes, just as humans depend on the transport of blood through arteries and veins 1. As fluids move through pipes, they ...

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 ...

Once pulverized coal flows have been measured, they can be balanced and optimized. Until then, tuning is simply guesswork. The right way to balance furnace fuel flows is to establish solid baseline ...

This publication, which draws upon the outcome of an IAEA coordinated research project, presents methodologies for assessing pipe failure rates in advanced water cooled reactors (WCRs), including a ...

Flow reversal in piping systems can degrade equipment performance and cause significant water hammer, potentially resulting in catastrophic failure. Power plant condenser cooling water systems—or ...
