Detecting Potentially Unstable Cavitation Modes with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis

INTRODUCTION Cavitation is a thermodynamically non-reversible process defined as the formation and subsequent collapse of vapor bubbles caused by the drop in pressure in the fluid domain, as illustrated in […]

DualPac® 2212 Solves Sugar Mill Sealing Issues

Challenge A sugar mill was trying to seal heavy slurry (63% solids) in multiple centrifugal pumps. The pump packing in use lasted an average of only three weeks. The plant […]

A Complex Approach Using Splitter Blade Impellers To Improve Centrifugal Pump Performance

  This work presents the results of complex research of changes in the hydraulic, stress-strain state and dynamic characteristics of the double-entry single stage pump (specific speed nq=55) in the […]

The Two Sides of Predictive Analytics [Infographic]

Predictive analytics can help companies identify equipment problems before they happen, keeping productivity high and maintenance costs low.

Non-Propeller Propulsion System for a Human Powered Submarine

Background The International Submarine Races (ISR) is a competition in which teams race “wet” submarines. A “wet” submarine is an internally flooded, fully enclosed, vehicle in which the pilot(s) must […]

Ten Reasons to Consider Brushless DCV Motors in Electric Valve Actuators

Brushless DC electric (BLDC) motors have been in use for nearly 50 years, but have only recently been employed in smart actuation. Their adaptation is key to improving process control […]

Hydrogen Fluoride-Resistant Gaskets Tips from Fluid-Sealing Solution Experts

APPLICABLE INDUSTRIES Chemical Processing WHY IS SEALING HYDROGEN FLUORIDE A CHALLENGE? Because of its harsh nature, hydrogen fluoride is a difficult chemical to seal. If leaked, in any volume, manufacturers […]

Design and Analysis of a High Speed, High Pressure Peroxide/RP-1 Turbopump

In the past, hydrogen peroxide bipropellant rocket engines were reserved for limited performance applications such as propulsion for rocket-assisted take-off (RATO) or sounding rockets due to the use of pressure-fed […]
