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 ...

THE PIPING configurations in modern hot water systems may seem much different than those of the past. Indeed, I have heard people say that the newer hot water systems are more difficult to diagnose ...

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 ...

The main application of the rotameter flow meter is to measure the flowrate of liquids and gases. It is composed of a plastic, metal or glass tube and float. The float response to flowrate changes is ...

Rigorous assessment of system components is a cornerstone of reliable nuclear power plant operations and key to the long-term sustainability of the industry. A three-year IAEA Coordinated Research ...

Built for the digital and analytical world, the PipeFractionalFlow software has its origins in a college doctoral programme. “It’s a science project that started in 2007,” says Anand Nagoo, chief ...

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 ...

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 ...
