  2. Slosh baffle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slosh_baffle

    A slosh baffle is a device used to dampen the adverse effects of liquid slosh in a tank. Slosh baffles have been implemented in a variety of applications including tanker trucks , and liquid rockets , although any moving tank containing liquid may employ them.

  3. Baffle (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffle_(heat_transfer)

    In this case the baffle helps increase the efficiency of the stove as more heat leaves the gas before it exits. The baffles prevent the rotational flow without affecting radial or longitudinal flow. The tank is provided with baffles which prevent swirling and vortex formation. Except in very large tanks, four(4) baffles are placed.

  4. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    The proportionality factor is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid, often simply referred to as the viscosity. It is denoted by the Greek letter mu ( μ ). The dynamic viscosity has the dimensions ( m a s s / l e n g t h ) / t i m e {\displaystyle \mathrm {(mass/length)/time} } , therefore resulting in the SI units and the derived units :

  5. Propellant management device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propellant_management_device

    Cylindrical tanks require full-length vanes since a portion of the propellant could adhere to the forward tank head. Spherical tanks need full-length vanes in a case by case basis. If the acceleration is lateral, partial-length vanes can work. [5]: 5 A center post can be added to the tank in addition to the side vanes.

  6. Industrial agitator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_agitator

    Depending on the type of phase and the viscosity of the bulk, the agitator may be called a mixer, kneader, dough mixer, amongst others. Agitators used in liquids can be placed on the top of the tank in a vertical position, horizontally on the side of the tank, or less commonly, on the bottom of the tank.

  7. Coalescer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalescer

    Typical electrostatic coalescers are large settling tanks containing electrodes and operate under laminar-flow conditions with bare electrodes that may be vulnerable to short circuiting. An alternative to this type of coalescer is a flow through pre-coalescer that is installed upstream in a separator tank.

  8. Baffle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffle

    Baffle (liquid mixing), auxiliary devices employed in tank which suppress the effects of slosh dynamics; Baffle (heat transfer), a flow-directing or obstructing vane or panel used in some industrial process vessels (tanks) Baffle (medicine), a tunnel or wall surgically constructed within the heart or primary blood vessels to redirect blood flow

  9. Antiroll tanks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiroll_Tanks

    Antiroll tanks are tanks fitted onto ships in order to improve the ship's response to roll motion. Fitted with baffles intended to slow the rate of water transfer from the port side of the tank to the starboard side and the reverse, the tanks are designed such that a larger amount of water is trapped on the higher side of the vessel.
