  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. Exhaust brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_brake

    An exhaust brake is a valve which essentially creates a back-pressure in the exhaust system, which applies enough force onto the engine's pistons to slow the engine. In most cases, an exhaust brake is so effective that it can slow a heavily-loaded vehicle on a downgrade without ever applying the vehicle’s service brakes.

  4. Exhaust system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_system

    Aftermarket exhaust parts can increase peak power by reducing the back pressure of the exhaust system. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] These parts sometimes can void factory warranties, however the European Union Block Exemption Regulations 1400/2002 prevents manufacturers from rejecting warranty claims if the aftermarket parts are of matching quality and ...

    Maximum allowable operating pressure Maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) is the wall strength of a pressurized cylinder such as a pipeline or storage tank and how much pressure the walls may safely hold before rupturing. Mean down time In organizational management, mean down time (MDT) is the average time that a system is non-operational.

  6. Maximum allowable operating pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_allowable...

    Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) is a pressure limit set, usually by a government body, which applies to compressed gas pressure vessels, pipelines, and storage tanks. For pipelines, this value is derived from Barlow's Formula , which takes into account wall thickness, diameter, allowable stress (which is a function of the material ...

  7. Tuned exhaust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_exhaust

    Locations where exhaust pipes from individual cylinders merge are called "collectors". The diameters of the exhaust system are designed to minimise back-pressure by optimising the gas velocity. Extractors/headers usually have equal length pipes for each cylinder, whereas a more basic exhaust manifold may have unequal length pipes.

  8. 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.

    Air is compressed by the compressor blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which drive the compressor blades. 1. Intake 2. Low pressure compression 3. High pressure compression 4. Combustion 5. Exhaust 6.
