high-pressure combustion
1High pressure steam locomotive — A high pressure steam locomotive is a steam locomotive with a boiler that operates at pressures well above what would be considered normal. In the later years of steam, boiler pressures were typically 200 to 250 PSI (1.4 to 1.7 MPa). High… …
2high-pressure fuel system — That part of the aircraft’s overall fuel system that starts after the entry of fuel into the engine. An HP pump (high pressure pump) takes fuel from the low pressure, or aircraft, fuel system and raises its pressure sufficiently to ensure an… …
