pressurizing
1pressurizing — pressurize (Amer.) pres·sur·ize || preʃəraɪz v. keep nearly normal atmospheric pressure inside (an airplane); adjust the cabin pressure inside an airplane; apply force or weight, press; supercharge; compel, subject to mental stress, urge,… …
2oil tank pressurizing valve — A check valve in the oil tank vent system that maintains an air pressure normally between 3 and 6 psi on the oil. This ensures that oil is supplied to the engine driven oil pump under positive pressure at all altitudes. A typical dry sump… …
3Water rocket — A water rocket is a type of model rocket using water as its reaction mass. The pressure vessel mdash;the engine of the rocket mdash;is usually a used plastic soft drink bottle. The water is forced out by a pressurized gas, typically compressed… …
4Chemical plant — BASF Chemical Plant Portsmouth Site in the West Norfolk area of Portsmouth, Virginia, United States. The plant is served by the Commonwealth Railway …
5Water gun — A water gun (or water pistol, squirt gun, or water blaster) is a type of toy designed to shoot water. Together with water balloons, these devices are the primary tools used to soak another during a water warfare game. Historically, water guns… …
6Water supply network — Public infrastructure …
7Duct leakage testing — A duct leakage tester is a diagnostic tool designed to measure the airtightness of forced air heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) ductwork. A duct leakage tester consists of a calibrated fan for measuring an air flow rate and a… …
8Pressure-fed cycle (rocket) — The pressure fed cycle is a class of rocket engine designs. A separate gas supply, usually helium, pressurizes the propellant tanks to force fuel and oxidizer to the combustion chamber. To maintain adequate flow, the tank pressures must exceed… …
9Containment building — NRC drawing of containment building. A containment building, in its most common usage, is a steel or reinforced concrete structure enclosing a nuclear reactor. It is designed, in any emergency, to contain the escape of radiation to a maximum… …
10Loss of pressure control accident — Most commercial types of nuclear reactor use a pressure vessel to maintain pressure in the reactor plant. This is necessary in a pressurized water reactor to prevent boiling in the core, which could lead to a nuclear meltdown. This is also… …
