Centrifugal Pump Start-up Procedure

What is Centrifugal Pump: A Centrifugal pump is a device used to lift fluid from lower to higher levels by the mean of centrifugal force acting inside the pump. Centrifugal pump is quite suitable for liquid, slurry, and suspension with solid. “A Pump is a device used to convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy with … Read more

Gas Viscosity Calculation

The calculated viscosity is dynamic (absolute). The dynamic viscosity of the gas is a function of temperature. This is interpreted in crane 1988 in the graphical form for hydrocarbon vapors, natural gases, and other common gases. The significance of the pressure is relatively less which is nearly about 10%, correction has already been taken in … Read more

What is thermal expansion, their types and equations

Thermal expansion: Thermal Expansion refers to the condition, if there is a change in the temperature of the body (either heated or cooled), there is a resultant change in length, width, and height, Volume of the body. In this article, we will learn about the types of thermal expansion. Coefficient of linear thermal expansion: The … Read more

Pipe Size Calculator (Based on Velocity)

The pipe size calculated in this calculator is based on the Continuity Equation and maximum allowable velocity: The equation of Continuity stated that “In a steady state system the values of the quantity and variables of the system do notchange with time”. Tips: Enter the following data Click Calculate and find the Calculated size of … Read more

Fluid, Its Classification and Properties

fluid

“Density is a property of the fluid which is dependent upon the pressure and temperature. Variation in density to pressure and temperature may be small or large”. Liquids are considered incompressible, whereas gases are referred to as compressible fluids. Based on the fluid behavior under the action of shear stress: fluid is also categorised into … Read more

What is Pipe and Classification

Pipe Class and Pipe Specifications What is a Pipe: A pipe is a tubular or hollow cylindrical section used for fluid transportation. Fluid to be transported through the pipe may be gas, liquid, and solids. Pipe classification: Pipes used in industrial applications can be selected on the basis of different Material, sizes, design parameters (pressure … Read more
