Cavitation is defined as the phenomenon of forming and imploding vapor bubbles in a region where the pressure of the liquid falls below its vapor pressure. Cavitation and the resultant damage can ...

Imagine you’re running a marathon, and suddenly, your legs start feeling like they’re filled with lead. You’re putting in the same effort, but your pace is slowing down, and you’re not sure why. Well, ...

Cavitation refers to the formation, growth and collapse of vapour-filled cavities in a liquid subject to local pressure reductions. This phenomenon is of considerable importance in fluid dynamics, as ...

As addressed in an earlier article of this series, centrifugal pumps are the most common pumps in a process plant, and an operator’s understanding of how these systems work often will impact how much ...

A properly designed pump network is critical to the success of any hydronic mechanical system. Using rules of thumb and general principles is a good starting point when designing the layout of a ...

Beyond the wheel, the most important mechanical equipment serving humanity is the centrifugal pump. Centrifugal pumps make modern quality of life possible. Turn on a faucet and a centrifugal turbine ...
