  2. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    In thermodynamics, the Volume Correction Factor (VCF), also known as Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid (CTL), is a standardized computed factor used to correct for the thermal expansion of fluids, primarily, liquid hydrocarbons at various temperatures and densities. [1]

  3. Allocation (oil and gas) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allocation_(oil_and_gas)

    MF, Meter Factor, adjust to actual volume, this factor is determined by probing CTL is a volume correction factor for the effects of temperature on liquid [32] SF, Shrinkage Factor, adjusts for changes in pressure temperature and composition, for instance shrinkage of fluid occurs when pressure drops and constituents change to gas phase

  4. Volume units used in petroleum engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_units_used_in...

    Oil conversion factor from m³ to bbl (or stb) is 6.28981100 Gas conversion factor from standard m³ to scf is 35.314666721 Note that the m³ gas conversion factor takes into account a difference in the standard temperature base for measurement of gas volumes in metric and imperial units.

  5. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

    The oil pump forces the motor oil through the passages in the engine to properly distribute oil to different engine components. In a common oiling system, oil is drawn out of the oil sump (oil pan, in US English) through a wire mesh strainer that removes some of the larger pieces of debris from the oil.

  6. Volumetric efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_efficiency

    Volumetric efficiency in a hydraulic pump refers to the percentage of actual fluid flow out of the pump compared to the flow out of the pump without leakage. In other words, if the flow out of a 100cc pump is 92cc (per revolution), then the volumetric efficiency is 92%.

  7. Pressure-correction method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-correction_method

    The name of this class of methods stems from the fact that the correction of the velocity field is computed through the pressure-field. The discretization of this is typically done with either the finite element method or the finite volume method. With the latter, one might also encounter the dual mesh, i.e. the computation grid obtained from ...

  8. Fuel pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_pump

    The reasons that the fuel pump is typically located in the fuel tank are: By submerging the pump in fuel at the bottom of the tank, the pump is cooled by the surrounding fuel; Liquid fuel by itself (i.e. without oxygen present) isn't flammable, therefore surrounding the fuel pump by fuel reduces the risk of fire
