  2. Throttle (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle_(disambiguation)

    CPU throttling, computer hardware speed control, also known as dynamic frequency scaling; Bandwidth throttling, used to control the bandwidth that a network application can use; Throttling process (computing), software speed control

  3. Flash evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_evaporation

    If the throttling valve or device is located at the entry into a pressure vessel so that the flash evaporation occurs within the vessel, then the vessel is often referred to as a flash drum. [1] [2] If the saturated liquid is a single-component liquid (for example, propane or liquid ammonia), a part of the liquid immediately "flashes" into vapor.

  4. Joule–Thomson effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule–Thomson_effect

    [7] [8] In hydraulics, the warming effect from Joule–Thomson throttling can be used to find internally leaking valves as these will produce heat which can be detected by thermocouple or thermal-imaging camera. Throttling is a fundamentally irreversible process. The throttling due to the flow resistance in supply lines, heat exchangers ...

  5. Pintle injector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pintle_injector

    Fuel in red, oxidizer in blue. The pintle injector is a type of propellant injector for a bipropellant rocket engine.Like any other injector, its purpose is to ensure appropriate flow rate and intermixing of the propellants as they are forcibly injected under high pressure into the combustion chamber, so that an efficient and controlled combustion process can happen.

  6. Throttle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle

    Throttling of a rocket engine means varying the thrust level in-flight. This is not always a requirement; in fact, the thrust of a solid-fuel rocket is not controllable after ignition, and is instead pre-planned by varying the shape of the void down the center of the booster when the fuel is molded.

  7. Centrifugal governor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_governor

    The devices shown are on steam engines. Power is supplied to the governor from the engine's output shaft by a belt or chain connected to the lower belt wheel. The governor is connected to a throttle valve that regulates the flow of working fluid (steam) supplying the prime mover. As the speed of the prime mover increases, the central spindle of ...

  8. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

    This is generally known as Thermal Throttling in the case of reduction of clock speeds, or Thermal Shutdown in the case of a complete shutdown of the device or system. Cooling may be designed to reduce the ambient temperature within the case of a computer, such as by exhausting hot air, or to cool a single component or small area (spot cooling).

  9. Electronic throttle control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_throttle_control

    A typical ETC system consists of three major components: (i) an accelerator pedal module (ideally with two or more independent sensors), (ii) a throttle valve that can be opened and closed by an electric motor (sometimes referred to as an electric or electronic throttle body (ETB)), and (iii) a powertrain or engine control module (PCM or ECM).
