Design factors for “linear” ball valve: theoretical and experimental studies

Generic non-linear flow characteristics of the conventional ball valve limit the applications of flow modulation in fluid processes. This work presents the flow characteristics of fluid flowing through the conventional and modified ball valves for feasibility of a “linear” ball valve. Theoretical st...
