Rotary Positive Displacement Pump: Working, Types, Advantages & Applications

A rotary positive displacement pump is a pump in which fluid is moved using rotating components that trap and transfer a fixed volume of liquid from the suction side to the discharge side. Unlike reciprocating pumps, these pumps provide a smooth, continuous, and pulse-free flow, making them ideal for handling viscous fluids like oils, chemicals, and syrups. They […]

compressible and incompressible fluid flow

 What are Different Types of Fluid Flow – Complete Explanation

Introduction to Fluid The fluid is a matter that tends to deform continuously under Shear Stress. It consists of both liquid and gases. All the matters on earth can be classified based on their behavior into two categories, i.e., Solid and Fluid. The substance that tends to flow under certain given conditions is called fluid.

What is Reynolds Number – Definition, Formula, Importance and Application?

Introduction and Significance of Dimensionless Numbers The Analytical and Numerical Analysis in Engineering is difficult to understand with the help of the normal quantities. They don’t interpret any result and can only be used as an Input and Output to a System. The Processing and clear understanding of the system and its behavior is done

working of Reaction Turbine

What is Reaction Turbine – Principle, Working, Main Components and Application

Introduction From wind mills to hydro-power plants we have reaction turbines all around the world to generate electricity efficiently. Almost 60% of turbines used in hydro-power plants are reaction turbine. Unlike impulse turbines they remain dipped in water and use the pressure energy of water to generate power. The idea of dipping the whole turbine
