About this ebook
Fluid Mechanics of Control Valves: How Valves Control Your Process (1st Edition) by Hans D. Baumann is a practical, experience-driven handbook published by the International Society of Automation (ISA) that details how fluid mechanics and acoustics impact control valve performance. [1, 2]
The book covers a comprehensive range of topics organized around valve design, selection, fluid behavior, and operational safety: [1, 2, 3]
Valve Mechanics & Components
  • Valve Types: Analysis of globe, butterfly, ball, and three-way valve configurations.
  • Actuators and Positioners: The mechanics behind moving and positioning the valve plug or disc.
  • Sanitary Valve Design: Specialized configurations and design practices for food and biotechnology sectors. [1]
Fluid Behavior & Sizing
  • Sizing Methods: Modern valve-sizing equations and reference tables for both liquids and gases.
  • Thermodynamic Effects: How advanced phenomena like choked flow, cavitation, and auto-refrigeration alter process performance.
  • Efficiency and Power: Methods for monitoring and managing the system's power consumption. [1, 2, 3]
Acoustics & Vibrations
  • Noise and Vibration Sources: Identifying the root causes of fluid-induced vibrations and extreme sound levels.
  • Noise-Reduction Strategies: Practical engineering solutions to lower acoustic interference and prevent structural damage. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Operations, Safety & Security
  • Fail-Safe Actions: Systems and triggers that move valves to safe positions during emergency shutdowns.
  • Inspection and Testing: Quality control benchmarks for verifying proper equipment function.
  • Modern Control Concerns: Managing critical operational parameters such as loop stability and industrial cybersecurity. [1]
