  2. Permissive hypotension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_hypotension

    Permissive hypotension relies on the heart's ability to pump fluid through the body efficiently. Less intravascular fluid results in less fluid filling the heart (lower end diastolic volume) which results in a lower amount of volume pumped out of the heart (stroke volume). This is based on the Frank-Starling law of the heart.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Duratec_V6_engine

    The Ford Duratec V6, is an aluminum DOHC V6 engine with a 60° bank angle introduced in 1993 with the Ford Mondeo.The primary engineering came from Porsche, [1] who was developing this engine before selling the engineering to Ford, and Cosworth, who helped with cylinder head manufacturing. [2]

  4. Restrictive flow orifice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictive_flow_orifice

    A restrictive flow orifice (RFO) is a type of orifice plate.They are used to limit the potential danger, damage, or wastage of an uncontrolled flow from, for example, a compressed gas cylinder [1] [2] They are generally not limiting the flow during normal operation but if a fault or failure occurs causing uncontrolled flow the orifice will present a restriction, limiting the flow.

  5. Flow limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_limiter

    A flow limiter or flow restrictor is a device to restrict the flow of a fluid, in general a gas or a liquid. [1] Some designs use single stage or multi-stage orifice plates to handle high and low flow rates. Flow limiters are often used in manufacturing plants as well as households. Safety is usually the main purpose of using a flow limiter.

  6. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    The parameter that becomes "choked" or "limited" is the fluid velocity. Choked flow is a fluid dynamic condition associated with the Venturi effect . When a flowing fluid at a given pressure and temperature passes through a constriction (such as the throat of a convergent-divergent nozzle or a valve in a pipe ) into a lower pressure environment ...

    List of motorcycles by type of engine is a list of motorcycles by the type of motorcycle engine used by the vehicle, such as by the number of cylinders or configuration.. A transverse engine is an engine mounted in a vehicle so that the engine's crankshaft axis is perpendicular to the direction of travel.

  8. Restrictor plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictor_plate

    Artist rendering of a NASCAR restrictor plate. A restrictor plate or air restrictor is a device installed at the intake of an engine to limit its power. This kind of system is occasionally used in road vehicles (e.g., motorcycles) for insurance purposes, but mainly in automobile racing, to limit top speed to provide equal level of competition, and to lower costs; insurance purposes have also ...

  9. Fluid restriction diet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_restriction_diet

    Partial fluid restriction can be used as therapy, but has the disadvantages of being difficult to maintain, and it is often ineffective. [6] Drugs causing increased diuresis is generally an alternative, and have less risk of causing decreased glomerular filtration rate through the kidneys and resultant decreased kidney function.
