In electronics, a choke is an inductor used to block higher-frequency alternating currents (AC) while passing direct current (DC) and lower-frequency ACs in a circuit. A choke usually consists of a coil of insulated wire often wound on a magnetic core, although some consist of a doughnut-shaped ferrite bead strung on a wire.
In the extraction of petroleum (and other heavy-duty fluid handling contexts), a choke valve (or "choke") is an adjustable flow limiter that is designed to operate at a large pressure drop, at a large flow rate, for a long time. A choke is often a part of the "Christmas tree" at the wellhead.
English: E-plane cross-section of connected choke and gasket/cover waveguide flanges. These are the flanges in the photo Waveguide-choke-flange-UG-1666-U.jpg. In the cross-section, the gap between the flange faces has been exaggerated by a factor of 4 to make it clearly visible. Legend: a. waveguide tubing socket-mounted into... b. choke flange ...
pressure drop across constriction (unit force per unit area) The above equations calculate the steady state mass flow rate for the pressure and temperature existing in the upstream pressure source. If the gas is being released from a closed high-pressure vessel, the above steady state equations may be used to approximate the initial mass flow rate.
Since then, automatic chokes became more commonplace. These either use a bimetallic thermostat to automatically regulate the choke based on the temperature of the engine's coolant liquid, an electrical resistance heater to do so, or air drawn through a tube connected to an engine exhaust source. A choke left closed after the engine has warmed ...
A ferrite bead – also called a ferrite block, ferrite core, ferrite ring, EMI filter, or ferrite choke [1] [2] – is a type of choke that suppresses high-frequency electronic noise in electronic circuits. Ferrite beads employ high-frequency current dissipation in a ferrite ceramic to build high-frequency noise suppression devices.
One edge of the wedge has a concave profile to contour to the wheel and increase the force necessary to overrun the chock. Most commonly, chocks are seen on aircraft and train cars. Automobiles usually have parking brakes on the rear wheels. If the rear axle is jacked off the ground with only the parking brake set, the vehicle may roll on the ...
Away from the design point the middle stages of an axial compressor continue to operate at about the optimum angle of attack but the front stages deviate one way, towards stall, and the rear stages in the opposite direction towards choke. [6] The deviation was acceptable up to a design pressure ratio of about 5:1, producing only a loss in ...
