Abstract: We examine a documented failure in high-velocity condensate correctly identified by the current standard, unlike similar failures that could only be explained if elevated Strouhal number was considered. On closer review ...

Abstract: Documented thermowell failures designed to PTC 19.3TW and earlier, when evaluated with the drag crisis invoked, reveals the potential for enhanced reliability of the current standard in reducing the risk of failure. The ...

Abstract: The theory involved in accounting for the velocity dependence of acoustic cutoff frequencies in rectangular ducts is briefly summarized. This is followed by a comparison with reported duct critical frequencies in a flow ...
