2. Rankine body - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_body

   The Rankine body, discovered by Scottish physicist and engineer William Rankine, is a feature of naval architecture involving the flow of liquid around a body/surface.. In fluid mechanics, a fluid flow pattern formed by combining a uniform stream with a source and a sink of equal strengths, with the line joining the source and sink along the stream direction, conforms to the shape of a Rankine ...

3. Rankine half body - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_half_body

   Schematic diagram to describe Rankine half body flow. In the field of fluid dynamics, a Rankine half body is a feature of fluid flow discovered by Scottish physicist and engineer William Rankine that is formed when a fluid source is added to a fluid undergoing potential flow. Superposition of uniform flow and source flow yields the Rankine half ...

4. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

   Flow control valves, a type of automatic control valve, regulate fluid flow by maintaining a predetermined flow rate, independent of variations in system pressure. These valves achieve this using pressure-compensated mechanisms, which automatically adjust the valve opening to ensure a steady flow rate.

5. Euler equations (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_equations_(fluid...

   Then, weak solutions are formulated by working in 'jumps' (discontinuities) into the flow quantities – density, velocity, pressure, entropy – using the Rankine–Hugoniot equations. Physical quantities are rarely discontinuous; in real flows, these discontinuities are smoothed out by viscosity and by heat transfer .

6. List of valves - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

   The sheet has a solid end and a flow-through end; sliding it from one position to the other opens or stops the flow. Also called sliding blind valve; Outflow valve: regulates flow and pressure, part of cabin pressurization; Pilot valve: regulates flow or pressure to other valves; Petcock, a small shut-off valve

7. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

   A simplified version of the definition is: The k v factor of a valve indicates "The water flow in m 3 /h, at a pressure drop across the valve of 1 kgf/cm 2 when the valve is completely open. The complete definition also says that the flow medium must have a density of 1000 kg/m 3 and a kinematic viscosity of 10 −6 m 2 /s, e.g. water. [clarify]

8. Flow control structure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_structure

   A flow control structure is a device that alters the flow of water in a stream, drainage channel or pipe. As a group these are passive structures since they operate without intervention under different amounts of water flow and their impact changes based on the quantity of water available.

9. Rankine cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_cycle

   The Rankine cycle is named after William John Macquorn Rankine, a Scottish polymath professor at Glasgow University. Heat energy is supplied to the system via a boiler where the working fluid (typically water) is converted to a high-pressure gaseous state (steam) in order to turn a turbine. After passing over the turbine the fluid is allowed to ...
