Maximizing Flow and Ensuring Leak Tightness Through Design and Development of a Unidirectional Check Valve
Abstract: The check valve market, valued at USD 6.5 billion in 2024, is expected to grow at a 4.1% CAGR. Challenges in valve seat materials, particularly SS304 and PTFE (Teflon), contribute to a 0.5% leak rate, which leads to helium gas loss, reduced efficiency, and higher operational costs. While various sealing techniques, including hard-on-soft methods, have been explored, few have been applied to poppet check valves. This study focuses on improving …

A Sustainable EOQ Model for Declining Products Incorporating Cubic Demand, Variable Deterioration, Partial Backlogging, and Carbon Emission Optimization
Abstract: In this paper proposes a sustainable Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model for inventory systems involving decaying items under cubic time-dependent demand, variable decaying rates, and partial backlogging while absolutely considering carbon emission costs. The model reflects practical market actions where demand initially increases and afterwards declines over time, and decay depends on the age of the item. To demonstrate the current model's applicability as well as evaluate the trade-off between …

Geometrical, Numerical and Materialistic Parameters used for Studying and Reducing Tube-Side Flow Inconsistency in Tube and Shell Heat Exchangers: An Overview
Abstract: A Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger (STHE) exchanges heat between two fluids flowing at different temperatures. More than 60% of the market is occupied by STHE’s out of all the different kinds of heat exchangers. Maldistribution is the uneven fluid flow distribution in the tubes of the STHE. The aim of this study is to provide a detailed review on the various methods used by researchers for reducing the maldistribution …
