  2. Joule–Thomson effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule–Thomson_effect

    The throttling due to the flow resistance in supply lines, heat exchangers, regenerators, and other components of (thermal) machines is a source of losses that limits their performance. Since it is a constant-enthalpy process, it can be used to experimentally measure the lines of constant enthalpy (isenthalps) on the ( p , T ) {\displaystyle (p ...

  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.

    William T. Bovie (September 11, 1882 – January 1, 1958) was an American scientist and inventor. He is credited with conceptualizing the field of biophysics and with inventing a modern medical device known as the Bovie electrosurgical generator.

    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

  6. Throttle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle

    The components of a typical throttle body. In fuel injected engines, the throttle body is the part of the air intake system that controls the amount of air flowing into the engine, in response to driver accelerator pedal input in the main.

  7. Thaumatrope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaumatrope

    He described the device in his 1827 educational book for children Philosophy in Sport Made Science in Earnest, with an illustration by George Cruikshank. A thaumatrope of a mouse and a cage. British mathematician Charles Babbage recalled in 1864 that the thaumatrope was invented by the geologist William Henry Fitton.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Expansion deflection nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_deflection_nozzle

    While research into this nozzle continues, it could be used before all its advantages are developed. As an upper stage, where it would be used in a low ambient pressure/vacuum environment specifically in closed wake mode, an E-D nozzle would offer weight reductions, length reductions and a potential increase to the specific impulse over bell nozzles (depending on engine cycle) allowing ...
