    flow through a control valve

    When considering flow through a control valve, how does the continuity equation apply? A control valve is used to regulate or restrict a flowrate. However, according to Q=AV or m=rho AV, a change in area (closing the valve) will produce a change (increase) in velocity to maintain the...

    Derivation of process conditions from valve CV

    I am trying to determine the inlet pressure to a throttle valve. The information I have is: *valve CV *fluid *flowrate I want through the valve *an approximate downstream pressure. Is there any way I can calculate the upstream pressure or the pressure drop across the valve from this...

    Which is the best type of mixer to use prior to sampling?

    I am designing a sample point for an offshore platform and need to ensure a homogenous mixture (of produced water and condensate) is obtained prior to sampling. Assuming a liquid full section of pipework can be obtained, which would provide better mixing: an electric mixer or a static mixer...

    Metering valves for low flowrates

    I am trying to find metering valves for the injection of liquids at very low flowrates. I have found SkoFlo valves so far but was wondering if anyone had any other information on where I could find similar type valves.

    Dessicants for drying air

    Hi. I am looking for a suitable dessicant/drying method to reduce the amount of water in air to as little as possible. Can anyone please suggest cost effective methods to achieve this? With regards to the final water content of the air, I'm basically looking to reduce it to as low as...
