  2. Back pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_pressure

    Back pressure is the term used for the hydraulic pressure required to create a flow through a chromatography column in high-performance liquid chromatography, the term deriving from the fact that it is generated by the resistance of the column, and exerts its influence backwards on the pump that must supply the flow.

  3. Static pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_pressure

    In irrotational flow, total pressure is the same on all streamlines and is therefore constant throughout the flow. [5] The simplified form of Bernoulli's equation can be summarised in the following memorable word equation: [6] [7] [8] static pressure + dynamic pressure = total pressure.

  4. Pressure coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_coefficient

    This pressure distribution is simply the pressure at all points around an airfoil. Typically, graphs of these distributions are drawn so that negative numbers are higher on the graph, as the C p {\displaystyle C_{p}} for the upper surface of the airfoil will usually be farther below zero and will hence be the top line on the graph.

  5. Hydraulic analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_analogy

    A pressure meter on both sides shows that regardless of the current being produced, this kind of pump produces constant pressure difference. If one terminal is kept fixed at ground, another analogy is a large body of water at a high elevation, sufficiently large that the drawn water does not affect the water level.

  6. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    This is referred as overexpanded flow because in this case the pressure at the nozzle exit is lower than that in the ambient (the back pressure)- i.e. the flow has been expanded by the nozzle too much. [13] A further lowering of the back pressure changes and weakens the wave pattern in the jet.

  7. Fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics

    The concept of pressure is central to the study of both fluid statics and fluid dynamics. A pressure can be identified for every point in a body of fluid, regardless of whether the fluid is in motion or not. Pressure can be measured using an aneroid, Bourdon tube, mercury column, or various other methods.

  8. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    The compressor flow and pressure range is shown with a carpet plot of engine constant rpm and constant torque lines superimposed on the map. OpenCourseWare material [45] shows a carpet plot of engine speed and load for the airflow requirements of 4-stroke truck engine.

  9. Fanno flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanno_flow

    Point 3 labels the end of the nozzle where the flow transitions from isentropic to Fanno. With a high enough initial pressure, supersonic flow can be maintained through the constant area duct, similar to the desired performance of a blowdown-type supersonic wind tunnel. However, these figures show the shock wave before it has moved entirely ...
