What is the Reynolds Number? The Equation for Reynolds Number and Its Significance
In the field of fluid mechanics, understanding the behavior of fluids in motion is of utmost importance. One crucial parameter that helps characterize the flow regime is the Reynolds number. Named...
Design of Centrifugal Compressor Piping and Appurtenances excluding Anti-Surge Systems
Centrifugal compressors are widely used in process plants to compress gases. Centrifugal Compressors, being rotary equipment, are highly sensitive and prone to vibration. So, the connected piping...
Pascal’s law: Definition, Formula, Applications, and Examples
Pascal's law, also known as the principle of transmission of fluid pressure or Pascal's Principle is a very important theory of fluid mechanics. The law was first stated by the French Mathematician...
A Separator is a pressurized vessel used in the exploration and production (E&P) of an oil and/or gas field to split a multi-phase well stream into a gas stream and one or more liquid streams. An...
An automatic recirculation valve or ARV is a multifunctional valve. ARV ensures that a pre-determined minimum flow is transferred through a centrifugal pump at all times. So an automatic...
