pressure fluid
41pressure — 1. A stress or force acting in any direction against resistance. 2. (P, frequently followed by a subscript indicating location)In physics and physiology, the force per unit area exerted by a gas or liquid against the walls of its container or… …
42pressure plotting — A method of measuring pressure changes over an airfoil at varying angles of attack. Small holes in the airfoil surface are connected to a glass manometer tube containing fluid. The fluid level rises with negative pressure and is depressed when… …
43Pressure vessel — Vertical pressure vessels installed in a structure A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. The pressure differential is dangerous and many fatal… …
44Fluid Science Laboratory — The Fluid Science Laboratory is a European (ESA s) science payload designed for use in Columbus built by Alenia Aeronautica Spazio and OHB System. It is a multi user facility for conducting fluid physics research in microgravity conditions. It… …

46Pressure, intraocular — The pressure created by the continual renewal of fluids within the eye. The intraocular pressure is increased in glaucoma. In acute angle closure glaucoma, the intraocular pressure rises because the canal into which the fluid in the front part of …
47fluid ounce — (fl oz) a traditional unit of liquid volume, called the fluid ounce to avoid confusion with the weight ounce. In the U. S. customary system there are 16 fluid ounces in a pint, so each fluid ounce represents 1.804 687 cubic inches or 29.573… …
48fluid coupling — noun also fluid flywheel : a coupling (as a fluid drive) in which fluid (as oil) intervenes between moving members to transmit pressure and torque * * * Mach. an apparatus in which a fluid, usually oil, transmits torque from one shaft to another …
49fluid pressure — Physics, Mech. the pressure exerted by a fluid, directly proportional to the specific gravity at any point and to the height of the fluid above the point. [1835 45] * * * …
50fluid — I. adjective Etymology: French or Latin; French fluide, from Latin fluidus, from fluere to flow; akin to Greek phlyzein to boil over Date: 1603 1. a. having particles that easily move and change their relative position without a separation of the …
