Hydraulics are used extensively in the automotive industry for everything from braking systems to power steering. However, they are also used in construction equipment, manufacturing machinery and aircraft. Hydraulics is so ubiquitous that you probably interact with hydraulics-based systems many times thr...
Additionally, gate valves should not be used as throttling valves for long durations. Pressure can tear the gate seat so the valve can no longer completely shut off. Another, if the medium is liquid, there is vibration. This vibration can also affect the seat. Pinch Considered as one of th...
4. Hydraulic control valve actuator: This works very similarly to a pneumatic actuator and can be used for both linear and rotary control valves. However, it uses liquid instead of air to create force in your system. How to choose the right actuator? Selection of the best actuator type for...
Kaplan Turbines has liquid flow mainly in axial direction. Radial Flow Hydraulic Turbines: Such Hydraulic Turbines has the liquid flowing mainly in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Mixed Flow Hydraulic Turbines: For most of the Hydraulic Turbines used there is a significant component...
Pascal's Principle is applied when a change in pressure forced on an enclosed liquid is transmitted to all of the fluid and the walls of the container it is in. Learn how this concept has many applications in everyday life and look at example calculations of this principle. Relat...
Incompressible flow modelling is used for a large amount of applications in CFD. The most common example is the simulation of liquid flows — especially water, due to its high bulk modulus. Free surface (figure 3) and fluid-structure interaction (figure 4) problems are examples of incompressible...
Last year, a turbine with a high-temperature superconductor (HTS) generator was successfully trialed for 6 months in Denmark. Despite a higher capital cost than PMGs due to the superconducting wire (containing gadolinium and barium) and the cryogenics (liquid helium), HTS generators showed tremendo...
The principles of pneumatics are the same as those for hydraulics, but pneumatics transmits power using a gas instead of a liquid. Compressed air is usually used, but nitrogen or other inert gases can be used for special applications. With pneumatics, air is usually pumped into a receiver usi...
A hydro-pneumatic sprayer such as this may be used forfield weed sprayingor for applying oil sprays on weeds in citrus orchards. Spray liquid is carried in a pressure-tight tank, and does not pass through a pump. A compressor forces air into the tank, and the liquid is in turn forced ...
IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) totes are versatile, cost-effective, and efficient containers used for storing and transporting various liquid and granular materials in industries such as food and beverage, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Intermediate Bulk Containers are used throughout the manufacturing...
