Drive process engineers require more reliable and precise level measurement systems because of the needs of sophisticated automated processing systems, an increasingly stringent regulatory environment ...

In Gangster movies of yesteryears, when the police were asking informants about information, they would ask this question, “Is that information on the level?” What they are asking is whether the ...

Fluid dynamics underpins a broad range of industrial and environmental processes, with orifice flow measurement representing a critical application area that bridges theory and practice. Recent ...

The Measurement Thermodynamics and Fluids Laboratory is used for laboratory exercises supporting a wide array of courses. Laboratories include basic measurements mass, distance, time, density, ...

Traditional viscometers rely on capillary flow, and falling balls are simple and effective means for measuring fluid viscosity over a large range. However, their low measurement throughput and lack of ...

A novel measurement technique has been developed to visualize the fluid flow and distribution within two droplets levitated and coalesced in space using fluorescence-emitting particles. This technique ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In medical applications, artificial micro/nanorobots have gained a lot of attention over the last decade due to their promise to behave as ingestible vehicles of drug delivery to ...

A research group has developed, and now successfully tested, a new method to measure fluid flow velocities. Sparse processing particle image velocimetry (SPPIV) optimizes conventional measurement ways ...

Measuring the velocity field of a fluid flow, such as air or water, allows for greater feedback and control, something that could boost the performance and fuel-efficiency of aircraft. A research ...
