FluidFlow Blogs: March 15, 2022

Non-Newtonian fluids are encountered in a wide and varied range of industrial processes including food, mining & minerals, pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper.

Control Valve Selection. The importance of control valve selection and sizing on safety, operation and productivity. Read more here in our latest blog.

Mine tailings consist of process effluent and finely-ground rock. Tailings have no financial gain but must be stored in the most cost effective way

Correct relief valve sizing is a complex process and there are many methods and tools available to size such devices. Read more here on relief valve sizing.

Orifice plates are essentially a disc with a central aperture which is inserted into a pipeline between a pair of flanges.

Two-Phase Flow. The calculation of frictional pressure loss for two-phase gas-liquid flow is a complex process. Read more here in our latest blog post.

Two-phase flow is a common phenomenon in nuclear, geothermal, chemical, oil and gas industries where gas-liquid mixtures are transported in piping systems.

In recent years, many pharmaceutical companies have opted to use closed-loop cooling towers as opposed to open-loop systems.

Relief Valve Sizing – When considering pressure relief applications, it can be common for all or part of the liquid portion of the fluid to flash.

Good luck to UC Davis OneLoop Pod in the SpaceX 2019 Hyperloop Pod Competition on July 21.  Proud that FluidFlow was crucial in designing a potential prototype of the transportation of the future! The Hyperloop is a novel form of… Read more ›

Why are the fan laws important? This blog gives a general outline of the rules or laws which can be used to predict fan performance ina given system.

Tee junctions are found in most piping systems in many engineering applications. Read our blog on Tee Junctions and watch our video here.
