Mach number analysis on multi-stage perforated plates in high pressure reducing valve
High pressure reducing valve (HPRV) is a key device for the pressure control of high temperature and pressure steam in industrial processes. Perforated plate is used as the throttling element to ensure the suitable pressure of steam and reduce aerodynamic noise inside HPRV and the linked pipelines. Mach number is the parameter to reflect the compressibility of steam flow. Higher Mach number may ca
