  2. Vortex mixer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_mixer

    A Scientific Industries Inc. Vortex-Genie 2 vortex mixer in operation A vortex mixer , or vortexer , is a simple device used commonly in laboratories to mix small vials of liquid. It consists of an electric motor with the drive shaft oriented vertically and attached to a cupped rubber piece mounted slightly off-center.

  3. Vortex sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_sheet

    Continuous vortex sheet approximation by panel method. Roll-up of a vortex sheet due to an initial sinusoidal perturbation. Note that the integral in the above equation is a Cauchy principal value integral. The initial condition for a flat vortex sheet with constant strength is (,) =. The flat vortex sheet is an equilibrium solution.

  4. Vapor–liquid separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor–liquid_separator

    A typical vapor–liquid separator including commonly a de-entrainment pad and sometimes an inlet distributor Alloy 20 mesh or demister pad used in sulfuric acid production. In chemical engineering, a vapor–liquid separator is a device used to separate a vapor–liquid mixture into its constituent phases. It can be a vertical or horizontal ...

  5. Vorticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorticity

    A vortex tube is the surface in the continuum formed by all vortex lines passing through a given (reducible) closed curve in the continuum. The 'strength' of a vortex tube (also called vortex flux ) [ 11 ] is the integral of the vorticity across a cross-section of the tube, and is the same everywhere along the tube (because vorticity has zero ...

  6. Helmholtz's theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz's_theorems

    More simply, vortex lines move with the fluid. Also vortex lines and tubes must appear as a closed loop, extend to infinity or start/end at solid boundaries. Fluid elements initially free of vorticity remain free of vorticity. Helmholtz's theorems have application in understanding: Generation of lift on an airfoil; Starting vortex; Horseshoe vortex

  7. Vortex flowmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_flowmeter

    A vortex flowmeter has the following components: A flow sensor operable to sense pressure variations due to vortex-shedding of a fluid in a passage and to convert the pressure variations to a flow sensor signal, in the form of an electrical signal; and a signal processor operable to receive the flow sensor signal and to generate an output signal corresponding to the pressure variations due to ...

  8. Separator (oil production) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(oil_production)

    Test separator A test separator is used to separate and to meter the well fluids. The test separator can be referred to as a well tester or well checker. Test separators can be vertical, horizontal, or spherical. They can be two-phase or three-phase. They can be permanently installed or portable (skid or trailer mounted).

  9. High striker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_striker

    A high striker, also known as a strength tester, or strongman game, is an attraction used in funfairs, amusement parks, fundraisers, and carnivals. [1] It operates by utilizing the lever where one end holds a puck attached to the tower and the other end is struck by the person or contestant using a hammer or mallet . [ 2 ]
