  2. MAP sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP_sensor

    Boost pressure is relative to absolute pressure - as one increases or decreases, so does the other. It is a one-to-one relationship with an offset of -100 kPa for boost pressure. Thus, a MAP sensor will always read 100 kPa more than a boost sensor measuring the same conditions. A MAP sensor will never display a negative reading because it is ...

  3. Flow distribution in manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_distribution_in_manifolds

    The n is the number of ports and L the length of the manifold (Fig. 2). This is fundamental of manifold and network models. Thus, a T-junction (Fig. 3) can be represented by two Bernoulli equations according to two flow outlets. A flow in manifold can be represented by a channel network model.

  4. Aircraft engine controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_controls

    Manifold pressure (MP) gauge - Indicates the absolute pressure in the intake manifold. For an aircraft equipped with a constant speed propeller, this is the most direct indication of the engine's operating power.

  5. Boyle's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyle's_law

    Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when the temperature is held constant. Therefore, when the volume is halved, the pressure is doubled; and if the volume is doubled, the pressure is halved.

  6. Manifold vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_vacuum

    Manifold vacuum, or engine vacuum in a petrol engine is the difference in air pressure between the engine's intake manifold and Earth's atmosphere.. Manifold vacuum is an effect of a piston's movement on the induction stroke and the airflow through a throttle in the intervening carburetor or throttle body leading to the intake manifold.

  7. 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

  8. Kervaire invariant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kervaire_invariant

    The Kervaire invariant is a generalization of the Arf invariant of a framed surface (that is, a 2-dimensional manifold with stably trivialized tangent bundle) which was used by Lev Pontryagin in 1950 to compute the homotopy group + = / of maps + (for ), which is the cobordism group of surfaces embedded in + with trivialized normal bundle.

  9. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    If the absolute pressure of a fluid stays constant, the gauge pressure of the same fluid will vary as atmospheric pressure changes. For example, when a car drives up a mountain, the (gauge) tire pressure goes up because atmospheric pressure goes down. The absolute pressure in the tire is essentially unchanged.
