21Tire-pressure monitoring system — A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an electronic system designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on various types of vehicles. The system is also sometimes referred to as a tire pressure indication system (TPIS).… …
22Low-pressure area — This depiction of the Hadley cell shows the process which sustains low pressure areas. Diverging winds aloft allow for lower pressure and convergence at the Earth s surface, which leads to upward motion. A low pressure area, or low , is a region… …
23Loss of pressure control accident — Most commercial types of nuclear reactor use a pressure vessel to maintain pressure in the reactor plant. This is necessary in a pressurized water reactor to prevent boiling in the core, which could lead to a nuclear meltdown. This is also… …
24Root pressure — Root pressure: osmotic pressure within the cells of a root system that causes sap to rise through a plant stem to the leaves.Root pressure occurs in the xylem of some vascular plants when the soil moisture level is high either at night or when… …
25atmospheric pressure — Meteorol. 1. the pressure exerted by the earth s atmosphere at any given point, being the product of the mass of the atmospheric column of the unit area above the given point and of the gravitational acceleration at the given point. 2. a value of …
26Maximum bubble pressure method — In physics, the maximum bubble pressure method, or in short bubble measure method, is a technique to measure the surface tension of a liquid, with surfactants. Contents 1 Background 2 Maximum bubble pressure method 3 References …
27Central venous pressure — (CVP) describes the pressure of blood in the thoracic vena cava, near the right atrium of the heart. CVP reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump the blood into the arterial system. It is a good… …
28Frictional pressure drop — The frictional pressure drop is the decrease in pressure as a fluid passes through a conduit, caused by frictional losses within the conduit.This article was created to discuss merging the following articles: *Friction factor *Darcy friction… …
29vapor pressure lowering — the decrease of the vapor pressure of a solution below that of the pure solvent; the percentage change in vapor pressure is equal to the mole fraction of the solute (osmoles of solute per osmoles of solute plus solvent) and is proportional to the …
30blood pressure — noun ADJECTIVE ▪ elevated (esp. AmE), high, low, normal, raised VERB + BLOOD PRESSURE ▪ check, measure ▪ …
