inlet flow characteristics
1Flow measurement — is the quantification of bulk fluid movement. Flow can be measured in a variety of ways. Positive displacement flow meters acumulate a fixed volume of fluid and then count the number of times the volume is filled to measure flow. Other flow… …
2Compressible flow — is the area of fluid mechanics that deals with fluids in which the fluid density varies significantly in response to a change in pressure. Compressibility effects are typically considered significant if the Mach number (the ratio of the flow… …
3Cook Inlet — This article is about the body of water. For other meanings, see Cook Inlet (disambiguation). Cook Inlet, showing Knik and Turnagain Arms Cook Inlet stretches 180 miles (290 km) from the Gulf of Alaska to Anchorage in south central Alaska …
4Diverterless supersonic inlet — Testing of the F 35 Diverterless Supersonic Inlet on an F 16 testbed. The original intake is shown in the top image. A diverterless supersonic inlet (DSI) is a type of jet engine air intake used by some modern combat aircraft to control air flow… …
5Jet engine performance — This article describes how jet engine performance is estimated during the design phase. Similar techniques are used once the engine has been built and is being tested, except the performance of individual components, rather than being assumed, is …
6Venturi scrubber — A venturi scrubber is designed to effectively use the energy from the inlet gas stream to atomize the liquid being used to scrub the gas stream. This type of technology is a part of the group of air pollution controls collectively referred to as… …
7Rolls-Royce Merlin — Merlin The Rolls Royce Merlin …
8Intake — 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 …
9Batch reactor — The Batch reactor is the generic term for a type of vessel widely used in the process industries. Its name is something of a misnomer since vessels of this type are used for a variety of process operations such as solids dissolution, product… …
10Calcium reactor — In marine and reef aquariums, a calcium reactor is a device used to create a balance of alkalinity in the system. An acidic solution is produced by injecting carbon dioxide into a chamber with salt water and calcium rich media. The carbon dioxide …
