  2. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    The final flow rate may be adjusted at the torch. The regulator assembly usually has two pressure gauges, one indicating cylinder pressure, the other indicating delivery pressure. Inert gas shielded arc welding also uses gas stored at high pressure provided through a regulator. There may be a flow gauge calibrated to the specific gas. [citation ...

  3. Reduced properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_properties

    In thermodynamics, the reduced properties of a fluid are a set of state variables scaled by the fluid's state properties at its critical point. These dimensionless thermodynamic coordinates, taken together with a substance's compressibility factor , provide the basis for the simplest form of the theorem of corresponding states .

  4. Theorem of corresponding states - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem_of_corresponding...

    According to van der Waals, the theorem of corresponding states (or principle/law of corresponding states) indicates that all fluids, when compared at the same reduced temperature and reduced pressure, have approximately the same compressibility factor and all deviate from ideal gas behavior to about the same degree. [1] [2]

  5. Flash evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_evaporation

    The water is heated and then routed into a reduced-pressure flash evaporation "stage" where some of the water flashes into steam. This steam is subsequently condensed into salt-free water. The residual salty liquid from that first stage is introduced into a second flash evaporation stage at a pressure lower than the first stage pressure.

  6. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    As the pressure is reduced still further, a pressure is reached that result in M = 1 at the throat with subsonic flow throughout the remainder of the nozzle. There is another receiver pressure substantially below that of curve C that also results in isentropic flow throughout the nozzle, represented by curve D; after the throat the flow is ...

  7. Venturi effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect

    Inspirators mix air and flammable gas in grills, gas stoves and Bunsen burners; Water aspirators produce a partial vacuum using the kinetic energy from the faucet water pressure; Steam siphons use the kinetic energy from the steam pressure to create a partial vacuum; Atomizers disperse perfume or spray paint (i.e. from a spray gun or airbrush)

  8. Degassing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degassing

    The solubility of gas obeys Henry's law, that is, the amount of a dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure. Therefore, placing a solution under reduced pressure makes the dissolved gas less soluble. Sonication and stirring under reduced pressure can usually

  9. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    Once the constants and are experimentally determined for a given substance, the van der Waals equation can be used to predict attributes like the boiling point at any given pressure, and the critical point (defined by pressure and temperature such that the substance cannot be liquefied either when > no matter how low the temperature, or when ...
