A single power plant uses hundreds of valves to control almost every aspect of its operation. Valves, in conjunction with a controlling actuator, are used for pollution control, feed water, cooling ...

Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Throttling involves reducing orifice size until all of the flow cannot pass through ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

Active flow control using plasma actuators offers a novel and increasingly influential method for manipulating aerodynamic flows. By utilising the dielectric barrier discharge mechanism, these devices ...

CoRe Flow Controls combine legacy expertise with high volume production to support launch vehicle applications in commercial space sector. MONTVILLE, N.J. — February 19, 2025 — Marotta Controls, a ...

Researchers have proposed process flow guides for 3D printing of miniature soft pneumatic actuators. Integrating the prints into a robotic system offers potential applications in jet-engine ...

Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...

Aurora Flight Sciences has been chosen by DARPA to build a full-scale X-plane to demonstrate the viability of active flow control actuators for primary flight control. The award is Phase 3 of DARPA’s ...
