Most operators know that air should be kept out of a heat exchanger’s cooling water supply line. Air can collect in pockets and block flow, increasing velocities, increasing system resistance, ...

In this book, numerical computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions are presented for investigating how fluid-structure interaction (FSI) affects pressure wave evaluation in cavitation-prone ...

In a typical steam power plant, the boiler feedwater (BFW) pump takes suction from the deaerator (DA) and discharges high-pressure water to the boiler through the feedwater heaters. During normal ...

Hydraulic transients, most notably water hammer, represent critical phenomena in fluid transmission systems, involving rapid pressure fluctuations triggered by the sudden opening or closure of valves ...

In a typical thermal power plant, the boiler feed water (BFW) pump takes suction from the deaerator and discharges to the boiler through the feedwater heaters. During normal operation, the deaerator ...
