From the smooth, orderly layers of laminar motion to the chaotic swirls of turbulence, understanding fluid flow is key to engineering success. The Reynolds number, continuity equation, and insights ...

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 ...

Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...
