81Frictional 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… …
82urethral pressure profile — (UPP) a record of the resistance of the urethra to fluid flow, measured as variations in urethral pressure (q.v.). A liquid or gas is pumped into the bladder with a catheter in place and the catheter is slowly withdrawn while measurements are… …
83injector opening pressure — The point at which injection pump fuel pressure overcomes nozzle valve spring resistance, or combustion chamber pressure, so that fuel is injected into the pre combustion chamber …
84lateral resistance — Naval Archit. resistance to sidewise motion caused by wind pressure, supplied by the immersed portion of a hull of a vessel. * * * …
85rolling resistance — As the wheels begin to turn, there are forces which resist its motion such as low tire pressure, rough road surface, increased tire temperature, tire composition, increased vehicle weight, and even air resistance …
86line of pressure — or line of resistance : a broken line joining the points of resultant pressure between the voussoirs of an arch or buttress …
87lateral resistance — Naval Archit. resistance to sidewise motion caused by wind pressure, supplied by the immersed portion of a hull of a vessel …
88airway resistance — the opposition of the tracheobronchial tree to air flow: the mouth to alveoli pressure difference divided by the air flow. Symbol RA or RAW …
89center of pressure — An aerodynamically determined point at which wind force on the side of a vehicle is assumed to be concentrated for analytical purposes. It is a function of the shape and aerodynamic drag (resistance) of an automobile s body shell, determines the… …
