Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV) have been widely used as a device to control pressure at nodes in water distribution networks and thus reduce leakages. However, an energy dissipation takes place during PRV operation. Thus, micro-hydropower turbines and, m...

The reclamation coral sand (CS) layer is the survival environment for island reef vegetation in the South China Sea. The root system within the CS bed draws water necessary for vegetation growth, implying that the water-retention capacity of CS plays a p...

When we tested the water jet propulsion pump, we found that there were significant vibrations in the pump, especially at small flow points that deviated from the design conditions. The water jet propulsion pump is a mixed-flow pump with guide vane, which...

In recent years, more and more emphasis has been placed on the use of home filtration systems as a coarse pre-filtration step. The PP (polypropylene) filter cartridge is one of the most common of these systems, with the role of retaining solid suspension...
