In pressure relief systems, accurately estimating temperature changes during fluid flow is vital for relief piping ...

This teaching package covers fluid kinematics topics. It includes description of fluid motion, introducing different co-ordinate systems used to mathematically calculate fluid flow behaviors and ...

Editor’s note: The Basics department this month is an excerpt from the ISA book Flow of Industrial Fluids – Theory and Equations by Raymond Mulley. Some material in this section may seem self-evident ...

Blood may be thicker than water, but in a narrow enough tube, both liquids flow like treacle. This sluggish behaviour arises because, as you reduce the size of the channel, friction between the liquid ...

Scientific progress is not usually straightforward. Researchers pursue and abandon lines of inquiry. Results languish. Theories take decades to cohere. But sometimes the accumulation of scientific ...
