101Dynamic scraped surface heat exchanger — The dynamic scraped surface heat exchanger (DSSHE) was designed to face some problems found in other types of heat exchangers. They increase heat transfer by: removing the fouling layers, increasing turbulence in case of high viscosity flow,… …
102Vortex — A vortex (pl. vortices ) is a spinning, often turbulent, flow of fluid. Any spiral motion with closed streamlines is vortex flow. The motion of the fluid swirling rapidly around a center is called a vortex. The speed and rate of rotation of the… …

109Wingtip vortices — are tubes of circulating air which are left behind by the wing as it generates lift. One wingtip vortex trails from the tip of each wing. The cores of vortices spin at very high speed and they are regions of very low pressure. The cores of… …
110Intake — An intake , or especially for aircraft inlet, is an air intake for an engine. Because the modern internal combustion engine is in essence a powerful air pump, like the exhaust system on an engine, the intake must be carefully engineered and tuned …
