  2. Container compression test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_compression_test

    The container compression test measures the compressive strength of packages such as boxes, drums, and cans. It usually provides a plot of deformation vs compressive force . It is commonly used to evaluate shipping containers made of corrugated fiberboard as well as wooden boxes and crates .

  3. Vortex lattice method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_lattice_method

    The Vortex lattice method, (VLM), is a numerical method used in computational fluid dynamics, mainly in the early stages of aircraft design and in aerodynamic education at university level. The VLM models the lifting surfaces, such as a wing , of an aircraft as an infinitely thin sheet of discrete vortices to compute lift and induced drag .

  4. Vortex tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_tube

    The vortex tube, also known as the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube, is a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams. The gas emerging from the hot end can reach temperatures of 200 °C (390 °F), and the gas emerging from the cold end can reach −50 °C (−60 °F). [ 1 ]

    Typical lectromechanical Universal Testing Machine Test fixture for three point flex test. A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, [1] universal tensile machine, materials testing machine, materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength (pulling) and compressive strength (pushing), flexural strength, bending, shear, hardness, and torsion testing ...

  6. 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.

  7. Vortex breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_breaker

    A vortex breaker is a device used in engineering to stop the formation of a vortex when a fluid (liquid or gas) is drained from a vessel such as a tank or vapor–liquid separator. The formation of vortices can entrain vapor in the liquid stream, leading to poor separation in process steps such as distillation or excessive pressure drop, [ 1 ...

  8. Strength tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_tester

    Strength tester may refer to: Grippers , a device used for testing and increasing the strength of the hands High striker , a attraction that 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

  9. Lamb–Oseen vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb–Oseen_vortex

    In fluid dynamics, the Lamb–Oseen vortex models a line vortex that decays due to viscosity. This vortex is named after Horace Lamb and Carl Wilhelm Oseen.
