Graham Garcia Modulus of Rigidity – Equation, Steel Selection, and Values
The modulus of rigidity is the ratio of shear stress to shear strain. Thus, it measures the ability of the material to withstand distortion. However, the rigidity of the material…
Restriction Orifices – Process Fluid Control
Restriction orifices (RO) provide economical and simple flow control in piping systems. This flow device limits the pressure or flow rate of a fluid to meet processing requirements. It consists…
Stagnation Pressure – Uses and Real Life Applications
Stagnation pressure is the fluid pressure that is measured while an initially flowing fluid is fully at rest. The fluid still holds mechanical energy through pressure despite having no movement….
Prandtl Number – Calculation and Effective Use
The Prandtl Number is an unitless ratio that describes the momentum diffusivity to thermal diffusivity of a liquid. Using a Prandtl number provides the relation of the thickness of the…
