The technology involved in coal mining around the world has advanced a great deal over the years, especially in terms of improving the health and safety of the miners. At the same time mining ...

The Kate Gleason College of Engineering’s multidisciplinary senior design program provides a unique opportunity for students to gain hands-on expertise and participate in top-level research while ...

A new counter-flow heart pump being developed by Queensland University of Technology has the potential to revolutionize future designs of the mechanical heart. A new counter-flow heart pump being ...

To minimize wasted energy in hydraulic systems, variable-displacement pumps were developed. They reduce power loss by adjusting the relationship between pressure and flow for various power levels.

What better time to "prime the pump" than the beginning of a new year. It's a time of refreshed ambitions, renewed resolutions and the reassurance of a better tomorrow. Before the advent of the public ...

A US-Mexican research team has investigated how linking heat pumps with solar thermal collectors may help reduce the surface needed to deploy the collectors themselves. The scientists found the ...

In hydronic heating and cooling systems, circulator pumps move water or refrigerant throughout a closed-loop system in order to transfer energy from the source to the point of need. While older ...

In principle, industrial vacuum pumps are merely compressors run with the inlet attached to the vacuum system and the outlet open to exhaust. In smaller sizes, compressors and vacuum pumps are often ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. An inverting charge pump takes a positive supply voltage and generates a negative supply from it. Discrete-design ...
