91List of pipeline accidents — The following is a list of pipeline accidents: This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries. Contents 1 Bel …
92Rolls-Royce Trent — are a family of high bypass turbofan engines manufactured by Rolls Royce. All are developments of the RB211 with thrust ratings of between 53,000 and 95,000 lbf (236 to 423 kN). Versions of the Trent are in service on the Airbus A330, A340, A380… …
93Supercharger — 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… …
94Jet engine — For a general overview of aircraft engines, see Aircraft engine. A Pratt Whitney F100 turbofan engine for the …
95Gas blending — or gas mixing is the filling of diving cylinders with non air breathing gases such as nitrox, trimix and heliox. Hazards There are several hazards with gas mixing: * cylinders are being filled with high pressure gas. If there is any damage or… …
96Compressed-air energy storage — (CAES) refers to the compression of airto be used later as energy source. At utility scale, it can be stored during periods of low energy demand (off peak), for use in meeting periods of higher demand (peak load). Alternatively it can be used to… …
97Cheng Rotation Vane CRV — Cheng Rotation Vane The Cheng Rotation Vane CRV® consists of a set of stationary vanes in a cylindrical body which is placed immediately upstream of an elbow or tee in a piping system. It eliminates elbow induced turbulence which negatively… …
98Internal combustion engine — The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high temperature and high …
99Breathing gas — is a mixture of gaseous chemical elements and compounds used for respiration. Air is the most common and only natural breathing gas. Other artificial gases, either pure gases or mixtures of gases, are used in breathing equipment and enclosed… …
100General Electric CF6 — The General Electric TF39 and CF6 are a family of high bypass turbofan engines. Originally developed as the TF39 to power the C 5 Galaxy, they were the first high power high bypass jet engines available, and went on to power a wide variety of… …
