water injection compressor
1Water injection (engines) — In internal combustion engines, water injection, also known as anti detonant injection, is spraying water into the cylinder or incoming fuel air mixture to cool the combustion chambers of the engine, allowing for greater compression ratios and… …
2water, or water/methanol injection — A method of increasing thrust or boosting the thrust from a gas turbine engine operating from hot, and/or high altitude, airfields. The injection of water increases the mass flow while methanol acts as an antifreeze and an additional source of… …
3Centrifugal compressor — Centrifugal compressors, sometimes termed radial compressors, are a sub class of dynamic axisymmetric work absorbing turbomachinery.[1] Centrifugal impeller with a highly polished surface likely to improve performance …
4Pipeline transport — An elevated section of the Alaska Pipeline …
5airplane — /air playn /, n. 1. a heavier than air aircraft kept aloft by the upward thrust exerted by the passing air on its fixed wings and driven by propellers, jet propulsion, etc. 2. any similar heavier than air aircraft, as a glider or helicopter. Also …
6Forced induction — is a term used to describe internal combustion engines that are not naturally aspirated. Instead, a gas compressor is added to the air intake, thereby increasing the quantity of oxygen available for combustion. This compressed air is normally… …
7Jet engine — For a general overview of aircraft engines, see Aircraft engine. A Pratt Whitney F100 turbofan engine for the …
8Oil well — The pumpjack, such as this one located south of Midland, Texas, is a common sight in West Texas. An oil well is a general term for any boring through the earth s surface that is designed to find and acquire petroleum oil hydrocarbons. Usually… …
9Supercharger — A supercharger is an air compressor used for forced induction of an internal combustion engine. The greater mass flow rate provides more oxygen to support combustion than would be available in a naturally aspirated engine, which allows more fuel… …
