pressure rises
1pressure — I n. 1) to exert, place, put pressure on smb. 2) to bring pressure to bear on smb. 3) to build up, increase (the) pressure 4) to feel pressure 5) to ease, relieve (the) pressure 6) to face; resist pressure (to resist pressure from extremist… …
2Pressure, 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 …
3pressure-relief valve — i. In pneumatic and oxygen systems, the valve that ensures that the pressure of air or oxygen entering the working system is reduced to the correct value. ii. A valve that returns the fluid to the reservoir or manifold if its pressure rises above …
4Pressure cooking — is a method of cooking in a sealed vessel that does not permit air or liquids to escape below a preset pressure. Because the boiling point of water increases as the pressure increases, the pressure built up inside the cooker allows the liquid in… …
5Pressure — This article is about pressure in the physical sciences. For other uses, see Pressure (disambiguation). Pressure as exerted by particle collisions inside a closed container …
6Pressure system — A pressure system is a region of the Earth s atmosphere where air pressure is unusually high or low. High and low pressures develop (and dissipate) constantly due to thermodynamic interactions of temperature differentials in the atmosphere and… …
7Pressure ridge — A pressure ridge is an ice formation typically found on large frozen lakes during the winter. In the most basic sense, a pressure ridge is a long crack in the ice that occurs because of repeated heating and cooling on the surface of the lake.In… …
8pressure 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… …
9Intraocular pressure — 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 …
10IOP (intraocular pressure) — The pressure created by the continual renewal of fluids within the eye. The normal IOP varies among individuals. The intraocular pressure is increased in glaucoma. In acute angle closure glaucoma, the intraocular pressure rises because the canal… …
