It's a common misconception that fluids with different flow rate requirements always need separate pumps. In reality, that's not necessarily the case. Image Credit: Fluid Metering, Inc. When working ...

A graph of the scaling relationship between fluid flow and fracture stiffness is shown. The shape of the symbol indicates the fracture length scale from 0.0625 meter (circles) to 1 meter (triangle) ...

A team of researchers has uncovered new laws governing the flow of fluids through experiments on a technology thousands of years old: a drinking straw. This knowledge could be useful for improving ...

Rotameter flow meters are devices that can measure the flowrate of liquids and gases. Generally, the rotameter is a tube made of plastic, glass or metal combined with a float, which responds linearly ...

“The Forces of Fluid Power” presents a comprehensive overview of fluid power transmission systems. It offers a broad scope of information, from fluid characteristics and basic energy forms to force ...

Recent advances in flow sensing have resulted in more accurate, durable, and economical meters. Increasingly important is the ability to interface meters with a computer for instantaneous flow readout ...

A team of researchers has created a way to quickly and remotely evaluate fluid flow in subsurface fractures that could impact aquifers, oil and gas extraction, sequestration of greenhouse gases or ...

A water flow meter is an instrument capable of measuring the amount of water passing through a pipe. Several water flow meter technologies are available for selection depending on the water ...
