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 ...

Engineers use equations to help us understand the pressure and flow rates in pipes. Pipe systems are important to us, so it’s critical that we can design them to carry the right amount of flow without ...

Condensation-induced water hammer (CIWH) is the term commonly used when describing a variety of transients that occur when water vapor is rapidly condensed by cold water. This article describes the ...

Suppose we have a single-cylinder, four-stroke-cycle engine. Its exhaust "system" consists of a single pipe leading from the exhaust port to the atmosphere. At the instant the exhaust valve first ...

points 1 and 2 lie on a streamline, the fluid has constant density, the flow is steady, and there is no friction. Although these restrictions sound severe, the Bernoulli equation is very useful, ...
