Simple globe valves are not positive shut of and are used strictly for throttling thus they have a very high friction loss=Gate valves are either fully open of fully closed NORMALLY FULL PORT OPENING=

Globe valves have a more complex flow path, involving multiple changes in direction, which results in higher energy losses when fully open compared to gate valves that have a straight-through flow path. This increased resistance in globe valves leads to higher pressure drop and energy losses in the system.

Where is Globe useful?

Globe or ball valves are used anywhere a quick and positive transition between fully open and fully closed is needed with minimum travel. A globe valve accomplishes its full action in one quarter turn of its handle.


What is Equivalent length of pipe?

Equivalent length of a pipe is a term applied to express the pressure drop generated by valves and fitting in a pipe. In literature, you usually find ratios of equivalent length to diameter of the pipe. For example, L/D for a fully opened globe valve is 300. This means that, if you have a fully opened globe valve in a pipe and the internal diameter of the pipe is ID=0.05m, then the equivalent length for this globe valve =300*D=300*(0.05m)=15m. Equivalent length of 15 meters means that the globe valve generates the same pressure drop as as straight 15-meter long pipe.

What are two factors that make up climate?

The Sun with its solar energy it shines upon the globe. The position of the globe to that solar energy. The more direct solar energy a position on the globe receive the warmer that place tends to be. The opposite is also true, the less direct solar energy a position on the globe receives the colder that place tends to be. That is just two factors, but there are many more. The Jet Stream for example.

How can a convection current transfer energy around the globe?

-- The sun's energy doesn't really need to be transferred "around the globe",because every point on the globe is on a direct line of sight from the sun forexactly 50% of the time.-- Solar energy is transferred from place to place, however, by the large-scalemotions of heated and cooled air masses, referred to technically as "wind".
