Editor’s note: The Basics department this month is an excerpt from the ISA book Flow of Industrial Fluids – Theory and Equations by Raymond Mulley. Some material in this section may seem self-evident ...

The trade-offs necessary to choose a fluid involve a consideration of application requirements such as health, safety, and environmental effects, and fluid properties such as viscosity, stability, ...

Figure 1: Seismic sequence related to the Blanco, 6.2 M w earthquake of June 2000. Figure 3: Variations in isothermal compressibility of seawater (at 3.2 wt% NaCl), with temperature and pressure 27,28 ...

Standard time-marching compressible flow solvers used extensively in the aerospace industry cannot be applied incompressible flows, as the governing equations lack a time derivative in the continuity ...

The version of this Letter originally published described hydrothermal fluids circulating within oceanic fracture zones near ridge-transform intersections as super-critical fluids. However, Daniel ...
