operate in compression
1Compression ratio — For compression ratio in data compression, see data compression ratio. The compression ratio of an internal combustion engine or external combustion engine is a value that represents the ratio of the volume of its combustion chamber from its… …
2Compression fitting — A compression fitting 15 mm isolating valve Compression fittings are used in plumbing and electrical conduit systems to join two tubes or thin walled pipes together. In instances where two pipes made of dissimilar materials are to be …
3Homogeneous charge compression ignition — Thermodynamics …
4Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition — Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, or HCCI, is a form of internal combustion in which well mixed fuel and oxidizer (typically air) are compressed to the point of auto ignition. As in other forms of combustion, this exothermic reaction… …
5Explosively pumped flux compression generator — An explosively pumped flux compression generator (EPFCG) is a device used to generate a high power electromagnetic pulse by compressing magnetic flux using high explosive.An EPFCG can be used only once as a pulsed power supply since the device is …
6Microsoft Point-to-Point Compression — (described in RFC 2118) is a streaming data compression algorithm based on an implementation of Lempel–Ziv using a sliding window buffer. According to Hifn s IP statement, MPPC is patent encumbered. Where V.44 or V.42bis operate at layer 1 on the …
7file-compression program — An application that compresses files so that they take up less space on the disk. Some file compression programs are individual, standalone applications; others are built into the operating system. Individual file compression programs can… …
8Remote Differential Compression — (RDC) is a client server synchronization algorithm that allows the contents of two files to be synchronized by communicating only the differences between them. It was introduced with Windows Server 2003 R2 and is included with later Windows… …
9Diesel engine — Diesel engines in a museum Diesel generator on an oil tanker …
10Turbofan — [ CFM56 3 turbofan, lower half, side view.] A turbofan is a type of jet engine, similar to a turbojet. It essentially consists of a ducted fan with a smaller diameter turbojet engine mounted behind it that powers the fan. Part of the airstream… …
