Fluidic networks: Understand Failures and Optimize Equipment
Presentation of different damages occurring on fluidic networks, the reasons of their occurring and the means to prevent them.
Detailed description:
- Failure analysis & fluidic networks: Most of failures encountered on fluid systems are the consequence of a wrong component sizing at design stage. In such a case, analysis of the ruptured component is not sufficient; a global system approach is necessary. The matter is illustrated through water hammer problem and a couple of case studies.
- Assemblies “The importance of the correct sizing and the quality of the construction for the good behavior of the networks”
- Detection of cavitation “Implementation of a system by non-intrusive method (PVDF)”
