Turning a valve knob or lever adjusts flow by varying the aperture of the control device in the valve assembly. The result when opened in any degree is a choked flow.

5. Valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve

   Pilot valves are valves which are used to control other valves. Pilot valves in the actuator lines control the supply of air or liquid going to the actuators. The fill valve in a toilet water tank is a liquid level-actuated valve. When a high water level is reached, a mechanism shuts the valve which fills the tank.

6. Control knob - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_knob

   Two control knobs for a heating/cooling system. The left knob controls the temperature while the right controls the fan speed. A control knob is a rotary device used to provide manual input adjustments to a mechanical/electrical system when grasped and turned by a human operator, so that differing extent of knob rotation corresponds to different desired input.
