Most engineers understand the concept of pressure. It’s a force, often measured in pounds, on a specific area. It is commonly listed in pounds per square inch (psi). But there are a variety of ...

The drivers may be different, but the destination—higher efficiency—is the same worldwide. As a primary component of current efforts to reduce the environmental impact of burning low-cost coal, new ...

Poor heating performance in single-duct pressure-independent terminal units is a much more pervasive problem than we would like to admit. Heating problems tend to present themselves during the winter ...

Pressure is the effect of a force over an area. It is the force acting over 1 m 2. Therefore, the definition of pressure is: pressure is the force per unit area. If a force acts over a larger area, ...

Understanding how system-component pressure losses influence compressor capacity is essential for cost-effective revamps in FCC units. Depending on the specific limitations of a particular FCC unit, ...
