A method and apparatus for use in the oil well industry for running in drilling/production liners and sub-sea casings down a borehole through drilling fluid on a drill pipe using a running tool with the benefits of surge pressure reduction are disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, a surge pressure reduction tool includes a diverter device having a housing with a set of flow holes formed therein and a sliding sleeve residing within the housing having a set of flow ports formed therein. By aligning the set of flow holes of the housing with the set of flow ports of the sleeve, the tool is set in a "surge pressure reduction" mode. By shifting, or axially indexing, the sleeve downward, the set of flow holes is blocked by the sleeve thus setting the tool in a "cementing" or "circulation" mode. This shifting or indexing is accomplished using an indexing mechanism. The indexing mechanism of the present invention includes a spring ring which is initially compressed and set in a circumferential groove formed around the top of the sleeve. As the sleeve is shifted downward from surge reduction mode to cementing/circulation mode, the spring ring decompresses radially outward to engage a circumferential groove formed in the housing. This effectively locks the sliding sleeve in the cementing/circulation mode. In accordance with the present invention, a surge pressure reduction tool further includes a volume compensation device which enables the diverter device to be shifted axially downward into the cementing/circulation mode even where the drilling/production liner or sub-sea casing is plugged with drill cuttings or downhole debris. In the cementing/circulation mode, a flow path is established for cement or drilling fluid to flow downward from the drill pipe, through the diverter device, volume compensation device, and running tool, and out into the borehole via the drilling/production liner or sub-sea casing. In the surge pressure reduction mode, an alternative flow path is established for drilling fluid to flow upward from the borehole into the drilling/production liner or sub-sea casing, through the running tool and volume compensation device, and into an annular space between the drill pipe and the borehole via the set of flow holes of the diverter device.

A transition channel for a turbine unit with at least two components is configured as a flow channel from one component of a first pressure to a component of a second pressure. The transition channel has support ribs, extending between envelope surfaces of the transition channel and having a profile that is configured for the deflecting of a flow from an inlet cross section to an outlet cross section of the transition channel. Flow splitter blades are arranged between the support ribs, having a smaller relative profile thickness than the support ribs and/or a shorter axial design depth or profile chord length than the support ribs. Thanks to the integration of the slim and/or short flow splitter blades (tandem blades), it is possible to largely dissipate parasite secondary flows.

A high flow globe valve with a body defining an interior cavity in communication with a first and second fluid passages. A tubular throttling cage is offset in the cavity away from the second fluid passage and has an open end in communication with the first fluid passage. The throttling cage has flow ports angled towards the second fluid passage and the flow port nearest the second fluid passage is oversized. The throttling cage has flow splitter defined by two adjacent flow ports through the cage opposite the second flow passage. A plug is closely received in the throttling cage and moveable to cover the flow ports thereby restricting flow through the throttling cage.

A multi-dimensional liquid analysis system includes a flow splitter for separating mobile phase outflow from a first dimension liquid analysis system into first and second liquid split outlet flows. Volumetric flow rate control of the split outlet flows is provided by a flow control pump which withdraws one of the split outlet flows from the flow splitter at a controlled withdrawal flow rate to define the other split outlet flow rate as the difference between the outflow rate from the first dimension system and the withdrawal flow rate. In this manner, accurate and consistent flow division can be accomplished, which is particularly useful for multi-dimensional liquid analysis.

A viscoelastic liquid flow splitter includes a flow splitter body having a first bore including a first bore outlet and a first bore inlet, and a second bore including a second bore outlet and a second bore inlet The bore inlets are substantially parallel to each other and the bore outlets diverge from each other at an angle. The flow splitter also includes a compression fitting having a first and a second tubular portion fluidically coupled to the first and second bore inlets where the tubular portions are configured to fluidically couple to a double barreled viscoelastic liquid dispensing syringe.

A solid particle counting system for measuring solid particle number concentrations from engine or vehicle exhausts in real-time includes a diluter arrangement, a particle counter, and a flow splitter. The diluter arrangement mixes the dilution gas with flowing sample gases. The flow splitter receives the output flow from the diluter arrangement, provides a portion of this flow to the particle counter, and provides a by-pass flow that is received by a vacuum pump. A second flow route to the particle counter includes a valve arranged such that opening the valve during the starting of the vacuum pump reduces a pressure pulse at the particle counter caused by the starting of the vacuum pump, thereby avoiding work fluid backflow from the particle counter prior to the vacuum pump stabilizing.

An adjustable device installed at the inlet of conventional junctions/splitters (116) for on-line control of the distribution of coal among the outlet pipes is herein disclosed. The device includes a plurality of wake inducing airfoils (60) each positioned upstream of a plurality of flow channels in the riffler (50) for directing coal flow to the outlet pipes. Each wake-inducing airfoil has a cross-section defined by a width W that varies along its length H for creating upstream turbulence, and a particle wake that preferentially diverts the coal flow to one of the outlet pipes at the splitter junction without affecting primary air flow. For example, each wake inducing airfoil may comprise a rounded convex edge leading to straight tapered sides. The surfaces of the sides may be roughened or textured (63) for promoting turbulent boundary layers. In addition, conventional fixed or variable orifices may be used in combination with the wake inducing airfoils for balancing primary air flow rates. The device allows fine-adjustment control of coal flow rates when used in combination with the slotted riffler, yet it has negligible effect on the distribution of primary air, resulting in closely balanced coal flow, reduced pollutant emissions and improved combustion efficiency.

A system for efficiently circulating water in a large volume of rearing space for aquatic organisms, comprising an impervious enclosure for containing the water and aquatic organisms and a pump for pumping water from an intake duct through intake ducting to a flow diverter, which then directs a flow of water radially outward within the enclosure to directly induce a circulation of water within the enclosure. The ‘center drive’ circulation pattern is sufficiently uniform to provide optimum rearing conditions for cultured finfish, while also ensuring that solid wastes are swept toward the central drain, even in a very large tank.

The invention discloses a method for removing scale on metal wires or metal bars by grinding material water jet, which comprises the following steps: 1) preparing a grinding material by mixing sand and water in a preset proportion; 2) pumping the prepared grinding material into a splitter by a mortar pump and then allowing the prepared grinding material to enter a jetting cavity; and simultaneously, pressurizing the water by a high-pressure pump to change the water into high-pressure water and convey the water into the jetting cavity, and impacting the grinding materials by taking the high-pressure water as motive power to remove scale through jetting. Special scale removal equipment provided by the method comprises a mixing tank positioned below a scale removal box, an automatic fluidifying and sanding-up device for sanding up sand to the mixing tank, a jetting device and a water box, and also comprises a sand separator positioned in the scale removal box, a high-pressure pump for generating the high-pressure water and the mortar pump for conveying the grinding materials to the sand separator.
