Moving thousands of tons of coal per hour at high speeds through a complex handling system is a main cause of airborne coal dust in a coal-fired plant. Depending upon the coal’s characteristics, that ...

Flow control techniques and aerodynamic improvements developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology could save the U.S. trucking industry hundreds of millions of gallons of fuel per year. Recent ...

DARPA’s X-65 aircraft is coming together at Aurora Flight Sciences’ Bridgeport, West Virginia, facility. The fuselage is being assembled and awaits its radical diamond-shaped wing. This uncrewed test ...

In process flow control, there are many factors affecting variability, but the greatest contributor is the control valve’s performance. Issues associated with control valves, such as dead band, ...

A new automated flow-control system will be fully online in the U.S. next year to help airlines, airports and controllers collaborate more effectively. The Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS) now ...

“Life is difficult” is the first sentence from the book The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck. In the same manner, this article starts out, “Flow control is difficult.” If it was not difficult, ...

Founded in 2010, Feather Flow Control Systems operates in Advanced Hardware & Technology offering innovative solutions in flow control systems. The company focuses on ...

Aurora Flight Sciences is quietly turning a radical research sketch into metal, bolting on 30 ft wings that will help prove whether a jet can steer with air instead of moving parts. The X-65, built ...

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.
