  2. Swirl flap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swirl_flap

    Swirl flap principle in a four-valve engine. A swirl flap is a small butterfly valve fitted to four-stroke internal combustion engines with at least two intake valves.It is installed inside or just before one of a cylinder's two intake ports, allowing to throttle its intake port's air flow, causing a swirl in the other intake port not fitted with a swirl flap.

  3. Pneumatic circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_circuit

    The normally closed valves will not permit flow from the inlet port of the valve to the outlet port, normally the flow will be permitted only by changing the position of the valve. In general, valves are designated as 2/2 DCV, 3/2 DCV, 5/2 DCV, 5/3 DCV etc., in which the first number indicates number of ports and second number indicates number ...

  4. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    A back-pressure regulator, back-pressure valve, pressure sustaining valve or pressure sustaining regulator is a control valve that maintains the set pressure at its inlet side by opening to allow flow when the inlet pressure exceeds the set value.

  5. Camless piston engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camless_piston_engine

    Camless valve trains have long been investigated by several companies, including Renault, BMW, Fiat, Valeo, General Motors, Ricardo, Lotus Engineering who developed electro-hydraulic valve actuation in the late 1980s as a spinoff of their active suspension program (both utilised similar electro-hydraulic actuation and control), Ford, Jiangsu Gongda Power Technologies, and Koenigsegg's sister ...

  6. Ball valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_valve

    A ball valve is a flow control device which uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control fluid flowing through it. It is open when the hole through the middle of the ball is in line with the flow inlet, and closed when it is pivoted 90 degrees by the valve handle, blocking the flow. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation

    Video: Keys pressed for calculating eight times six on a HP-32SII (employing RPN) from 1991. Reverse Polish notation (RPN), also known as reverse Ɓukasiewicz notation, Polish postfix notation or simply postfix notation, is a mathematical notation in which operators follow their operands, in contrast to prefix or Polish notation (PN), in which operators precede their operands.

  8. Hjulström curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hjulström_curve

    The dimensionless Shields Diagram, in combination with the Shields formula is now unanimously accepted for initiation of sediment motion in rivers. Much work was done on river sediment transport formulae in the second half of the 20th century and that work should be used preferably to Hjulström's curve.
