  2. Flow distribution in manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_distribution_in_manifolds

    [4] [5] [6] A generalized model of the flow distribution in channel networks of planar fuel cells. [6] Similar to Ohm's law, the pressure drop is assumed to be proportional to the flow rates. The relationship of pressure drop, flow rate and flow resistance is described as Q 2 = ∆P/R. f = 64/Re for laminar flow where Re is the Reynolds number.

  3. Manifold (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_(fluid_mechanics)

    Hydraulic manifold A component used to regulate fluid flow in a hydraulic system, thus controlling the transfer of power between actuators and pumps Inlet manifold (or "intake manifold") An engine part that supplies the air or fuel/air mixture to the cylinders Scuba manifold In a scuba set, connects two or more diving cylinders Vacuum gas manifold

  4. MAP sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP_sensor

    The manifold absolute pressure sensor provides instantaneous manifold pressure information to the engine's electronic control unit (ECU). The data is used to calculate air density and determine the engine's air mass flow rate, which in turn determines the required fuel metering for optimum combustion (see stoichiometry ) and influence the ...

  5. Cylinder manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_manifold

    A cylinder manifold is system of pipes and valves for using a group of gas cylinders, or boil-off from vacuum insulated evaporators, to feed a single supply line.The advantages of the manifold system as compared with using a single cylinder are increased capacity and reliability, and also the possibility of a centralized supply for multiple users.

  6. Mass flow controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_controller

    The flow rate is specified as a percentage of its calibrated full scale flow and is supplied to the MFC as a voltage signal. Mass flow controllers require the supply gas or liquid to be within a specific pressure range. Low pressure will starve the MFC of fluid and cause it to fail to achieve its setpoint. High pressure may cause erratic flow ...

  7. Hydraulic manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_manifold

    A manifold is composed of assorted hydraulic valves connected to each other. It is the various combinations of states of these valves that allow complex control behaviour in a manifold. [1] [citation needed] A hydraulic manifold is a block of metal with flow paths drilled through it, connecting various ports. [2]

  8. Crossflow cylinder head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossflow_cylinder_head

    A crossflow head gives better performance than a Reverse-flow cylinder head (though not as good as a uniflow), but the popular explanation put forward for this — that the gases do not have to change direction and hence are moved into and out of the cylinder more efficiently — is a simplification since there is no continuous flow because of valve opening and closing.

  9. Symplectic manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplectic_manifold

    Symplectic manifolds arise from classical mechanics; in particular, they are a generalization of the phase space of a closed system. [1] In the same way the Hamilton equations allow one to derive the time evolution of a system from a set of differential equations, the symplectic form should allow one to obtain a vector field describing the flow of the system from the differential of a ...
