A propeller turbine is a type of inward flow reaction turbine that features a propeller-shaped runner, usually being found in ships, submarines, and hydraulic sites with high flow rates. Generally, it is equipped with fixed or adjustable blades, and water flow is regulated by adjustable guide vanes that move the water into a runner to transfer its energy to the blades. To better understand how propeller turbines work, this blog will cover their varying types and the advantages they have over other variations.

The cockpit windshield is an essential element of most aircraft, allowing pilots to establish visuals outside of the vehicle for the means of flight management, safety, and more. As many may know, conditions at the altitudes that aircraft fly at are often harsh, many assemblies facing forces and stresses that range from pressure differences to extreme temperatures. While the windows lining the cabin are constructed with rigorous materials to reliably withstand a variety of stressors, aircraft windshield assemblies are much more robust and complex in their design, as a result of their increased demands and the fact that they face more risks, such as impacts. As such, one may wonder how aircraft windshields are designed. In this blog, we will briefly discuss the construction of the aircraft windshield, allowing you to have a better understanding of their materials and capabilities.

Flex hoses are commonly utilized in industrial cleaning and testing systems as they move vapor, liquids, or gas from a particular system to a different one. There exist two types of flex hoses: metallic hoses as well as nonmetallic hoses. Metallic hoses feature a flexible tube often covered by a wire braid that is connected through welding, silver soldering, or brazing. Many metal hoses have cryogenic purposes, meaning they are made of two metal tubes with a vacuum between them. On the other hand, nonmetallic hoses feature a flexible (or elastomeric) pressure carrier tube that is covered in fabric or wire braiding to cover the tube itself. The metal ends are crimped or swaged onto the nonmetallic hose. Being elastomeric means the material is difficult to tear and flexible. For these reasons, the hose is incredibly durable.
