  2. Float switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_switch

    A float switch is a type of level sensor, a device used to detect the level of liquid within a tank. The switch may be used to control a pump, as an indicator, an alarm, or to control other devices. One type of float switch uses a mercury switch inside a hinged float.

    Piping and instrumentation diagram of pump with storage tank. Symbols according to EN ISO 10628 and EN 62424. A more complex example of a P&ID. A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is defined as follows: A diagram which shows the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control the process.

  4. Fractionating column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionating_column

    Figure 3 depicts an industrial fractionating column separating a feed stream into one distillate fraction and one bottoms fraction. However, many industrial fractionating columns have outlets at intervals up the column so that multiple products having different boiling ranges may be withdrawn from a column distilling a multi-component feed stream.

  5. Fractionation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionation

    [1] [2] Fractions are collected based on differences in a specific property of the individual components. A common trait in fractionations is the need to find an optimum between the amount of fractions collected and the desired purity in each fraction. Fractionation makes it possible to isolate more than two components in a mixture in a single run.

  6. Mixture fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture_fraction

    [1] [2] Both the feed streams are allowed to have inert gases. [3] The mixture fraction definition is usually normalized such that it approaches unity in the fuel stream and zero in the oxidizer stream. [4] The mixture-fraction variable is commonly used as a replacement for the physical coordinate normal to the flame surface, in nonpremixed ...

  7. Exhaust gas temperature gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_temperature_gauge

    An exhaust gas temperature gauge (EGT gauge or EGT sensor) is a meter used to monitor the exhaust gas temperature of an internal combustion engine in conjunction with a thermocouple-type pyrometer. EGT gauges are found in certain cars and aeroplanes. By monitoring EGT, the driver or pilot can get an idea of the vehicle's air-fuel ratio (AFR).

  8. Vapor recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_recovery

    Mark talked with the driver to understand why the two hose system was used, and also why it was not implemented on the standard delivery nozzle, allowing vapors to escape from the vehicle gas tank. After the tanker driver left, Mark drew an idea for a Vapor Recovery Gasoline Nozzle and submitted it to the Chevron Station Management as an ...

  9. Pod mod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pod_mod

    A pod mod with cartridges. Pod mods are a type of electronic cigarette used to vape nicotine through a mouthpiece connected to the body of the device by magnets. These devices are a newer generation of e-cigarettes that are often marketed to a younger crowd that do not wish to attract attention gained through regular e-cigarettes or traditional tobacco-burning cigarettes.
