Abstract: Control valves are important actuators in industrial processes. However, valve models identified by traditional system identification methods are difficult to work in actual industrial ...

In process flow control, there are many factors affecting variability, but the greatest contributor is the control valve’s performance. Issues associated with control valves, such as dead band, ...

Abstract: The proportional directional valve is a key component in electro-hydraulic control systems; however, existing solutions face structural and functional challenges. The mechanical feedback ...

Department of Mechanical, Automotive and Materials Engineering, University of Windsor, Windsor, ON, Canada Additionally, understanding the flow characteristics and corresponding heat transfer behavior ...

Flow Induced Vibrations (FIV) is an important field of study that deals with the response of structures in various flow configurations with one or more degrees of freedom. It is a phenomena which is ...

Multidimensional simulations of coupled intake port/valve and in-cylinder flow structures in a pancakeshape combustion chamber engine are reported. The engine calculations include moving piston, ...

If you suddenly have the need for a two-way, flow control valve — from a valve-selection standpoint — what kind of questions do you ask yourself? Many, perhaps, don’t ask any questions and may make ...

GM has filed a patent application for a two-stroke engine valve system, which could enhance efficiency and control compared ...
