Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

Integrated slug-flow optimization can mitigate flow problems in a wide range of both offshore and onshore operating conditions. Slug flow is one of the most common flow states in horizontal and ...

Blood flow in the brain is regulated by neurons and astrocytes. Knowledge of how these cells control blood flow is crucial for understanding how neural computation is powered, for interpreting ...

Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...

Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...

As technology advances at a rapid pace, PCI Express (or PCIe) has grown tremendously, allowing data transfer up to 64 GT/s in Gen6. This technology is widely used in data centers, artificial ...
