The test of moment of inertia has a wide range of applications in aerospace, vehicle engineering, precision machinery, motors and other fields, moment of inertia directly affects the reliability and performance of components or equipment, it is very essential to test the moment of inertia. By analyzing the principle of moment of inertia test, we could come to the conclusion that the theoretical value, the inertia of the disk, the period of the torsion swing of the standard body and the period of the empty disk of the moment of inertia and the moment of inertia of the standard body. By analyzing the measurement error, position error and damping during the test, we could reach the following conclusion that the test accuracy of the moment of inertia can reach 0.1 %.

Although check valves have attracted a lot of attention, work has rarely been completed done when there is a compressible working fluid. In this paper, the swing check valve and the tilting check valve flowing high-temperature compressible water vapor are compared. The maximum Mach number under small valve openings, the dynamic opening time, and the hydrodynamic moment acting on the valve disc are chosen to evaluate the difference between the two types of check valves. Results show that the maximum Mach number increases with the decrease in the valve opening and the increase in the mass flow rate, and the Mach number and the pressure difference in the tilting check valve are higher. In the swing check valve, the hydrodynamic moment is higher and the valve opening time is shorter. Furthermore, the valve disc is more stable for the swing check valve, and there is a periodical oscillation of the valve disc in the tilting check valve under a small mass flow rate.

Cavitation inside globe valves, which is a common phenomenon if there is a high-pressure drop, is numerically investigated in this study. Firstly, the cavitation phenomenon in globe valves with a different number of cages is compared. When there is no valve cage, cavitation mainly appears at the valve seat, the bottom of the valve core, and the downstream pipelines. By installing a valve cage, cavitation bubbles can be restricted around the valve cage protecting the valve body from being damaged. Secondly, the effects of the outlet pressure, the working temperature, and the installation angle of two valve cages in a two-cage globe valve are studied to find out the best method to suppress cavitation, and cavitation number is utilized to evaluate cavitation intensity. Results show that cavitation intensity inside globe valves can be reduced by increasing the valve outlet pressure, decreasing the working temperature, or increasing the installation angle. Results suggest that increasing the outlet pressure is the most efficient way to suppress cavitation intensity in a globe valve, and the working temperature has a minimal effect on cavitation intensity.

Gate valves have been widely used in the piping system and have attracted a lot of attention from researchers. In this paper, a wedge-type double disk parallel gate valve is chosen to be analyzed. The Reynolds number varying from 200 to 500,000, and the valve opening degree varying from 20% to 100%, and the groove depth varying from 2.3 mm to 9 mm are chosen to investigate their effects on the flow and loss coefficients of the gate valve. The results show that the loss coefficient decreases and the flow coefficient increases with the increase of the Reynolds number and the valve opening degree, while with the increase of the groove depth, the loss coefficient barely changes, but the flow coefficient increases if the Reynolds number is larger than 10,000. In addition, the effects of the gaps between the disk and the limit stop on the stress distribution of the bolt are also investigated, and the results show that if the gaps are negative, high stress will act on the bolt at the contact position between the bolt and the limit stop.
