  2. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.

  3. Decanter centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decanter_Centrifuge

    A centrifuge is a device that employs a high rotational speed to separate components of different densities.This becomes relevant in the majority of industrial jobs where solids, liquids and gases are merged into a single mixture and the separation of these different phases is necessary.

  4. Mixing (process engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixing_(process_engineering)

    Mixing of liquids occurs frequently in process engineering. The nature of liquids to blend determines the equipment used. Single-phase blending tends to involve low-shear, high-flow mixers to cause liquid engulfment, while multi-phase mixing generally requires the use of high-shear, low-flow mixers to create droplets of one liquid in laminar, turbulent or transitional flow regimes, depending ...

  5. High-shear mixer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-shear_mixer

    A high-shear mixer uses a rotating impeller or high-speed rotor, or a series of such impellers or inline rotors, usually powered by an electric motor, to "work" the fluid, creating flow and shear. The tip velocity, or speed of the fluid at the outside diameter of the rotor, will be higher than the velocity at the center of the rotor, and it is ...

  6. Food extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_extrusion

    The extent to which it does so is known as the expansion ratio. The extrudate is cut to the desired length by blades at the output of the extruder, which rotate about the die openings at a specific speed. The product is then cooled and dried, becoming rigid while maintaining porosity. [citation needed]

  7. Screw conveyor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_conveyor

    The first type of screw conveyor was the Archimedes' screw, used since ancient times to pump irrigation water. [ 1 ] They usually consist of a trough or tube containing either a spiral blade coiled around a shaft, driven at one end and held at the other, or a " shaftless spiral ", driven at one end and free at the other.

  8. Tandem rolling mill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_rolling_mill

    This increase in screw position is a measure of the white metal bearing speed effect. Excel plot of the measured bearing speed effect data and curve matching those points. For a more accurate measurement, the force of each mill stand is measured as it is run through its speed range without strip present.

  9. Mass flow sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_sensor

    Many VAF sensors have an air-fuel adjustment screw, which opens or closes a small air passage on the side of the VAF sensor. This screw controls the air-fuel mixture by letting a metered amount of air flow past the air flap, thereby leaning or richening the mixture. By turning the screw clockwise the mixture is enriched and counterclockwise the ...
