I have been reading recently about a phenomenon called acceleration head. It seems to apply only to reciprocating pumps. My question (s):If you had a glycerin-filled pressure gauge at the reciprocatin

A while back, I posted some questions related to a v-twin I am working on. Here is another puzzling one. The engine is a v-twin, dual overhead cam, 4 valve configuration - designed from a clean sheet

I am trying to figure out a way to monitor the level of liquid in a large fixed container and output that information (via serial, USB, Cat5, etc.) to a program on a windows machine to display the cur

I seek an alternative mechanism that will convert rotary motion into linear motion in the same way as a rotary govenor does on a steam engine.This is to control a needle valve proportional to r.p.m

We have been asked by a client to suggest changes to the existing pressure sensing line configuration to reduce the pressure oscillations seen in the transmitter output.

Application:Offshore race/pleasure boat,BBC,800-1300HP @6-7000 RPM,engines are well built w/details available. Problem:As these engines are used for pleasure, 92-93 octane is used.

I wonder whether there is a good equation to estimate gas (say, air) flow rate through a needle valve? Right now I know the pipe diameter (1/4") and the outflow pressure (20 psi).

I need some clarification regarding requirements on level bridle isolation valves. ASME Section 1 Steam Drum.
