Understanding, Modeling, and Managing Thermal Bowing Using CAESAR II
Thermal bowing is a structural phenomenon that arises when a temperature gradient exists across the cross-section of a pipe or vessel. In typical pipe design,
Stepless Capacity Control in Reciprocating Compressors
Table of Contents As the demand for flexible, energy-efficient, and reliable compressor operation grows—particularly in hydrogen and process gas applications—our clients increasingly turn to stepless
Multiphase Flow in Process Engineering: Complexity, Challenges, and the Role of CFD
Table of Contents Multiphase flow is a recurring challenge in process engineering, where multiple fluid phases—such as gases, liquids, or solids—interact within a single flow
Water Hammer During Offloading From Ship to Storage System
In the chemical and energy industries, liquid products such as LNG, ammonia, or naphtha are commonly transferred between ships and onshore storage tanks. These transfers

The Crucial Role of Vortex Shedding in Heat Exchanger Design
When Theodor von Kármán first discovered vortex shedding in 1911, he likely had no idea how pivotal his work would become for modern engineering, particularly
Hydrogen vs. Natural Gas: Comparing Pulsation Damping Methods
In a previous article, we introduced the risks and design considerations of repurposing an existing natural gas compressor system for hydrogen. That discussion focused on
