    Undergrad Flow Rate & Valves: Increase or Constant?

    For sizing valves we use Q=Cv x pressure drop. Cv is a dimensionless number indicating the orifice size. Q=flow. This simple calculation can grow to be very complex when variables like piping, temperature, viscosity, critical pressure drops and many others are included. But the base is fairly...
