  2. O-ring boss seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-ring_boss_seal

    An o-ring boss seal is a technique for joining two fluid-carrying pipes, hoses, or tubing. In an o-ring boss (abbreviated ORB) system, a male-threaded part is inserted into a female-threaded part, providing a mechanical seal. This system differs from others in that a nut is tightened over an o-ring in a chamfered area, creating a fluid-tight ...

  3. Liquid-ring pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-ring_pump

    Liquid-ring pumps are typically used as vacuum pumps, but can also be used as gas compressors.The function of a liquid-ring pump is similar to a rotary vane pump, with the difference being that the vanes are a rigid part of the rotor and churn a rotating ring of liquid to form the compression-chamber seal.

  4. O-ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-ring

    Typical O-ring and application. An O-ring, also known as a packing or a toric joint, is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus; it is a loop of elastomer with a round cross-section, designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, forming a seal at the interface.

  5. Diaphragm pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_pump

    The basic working principle of an air-operated double diaphragm pump. Cross-section sketch of diaphragm fuel pump Air-operated double diaphragm pump. A diaphragm pump (also known as a Membrane pump) is a positive displacement pump that uses a combination of the reciprocating action of a rubber, thermoplastic or teflon diaphragm and suitable valves on either side of the diaphragm (check valve ...

  6. Enigma rotor details - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_rotor_details

    The effect of rotation on the rotors can be demonstrated with some examples. As an example, let us take rotor type I of Enigma I (see table below) without any ring setting offset. It can be seen that an A is encoded as an E, a B encoded as a K, and a K is

  7. Sodium-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-vapor_lamp

    When the lamp is first started, it emits a dim red/pink light to warm the sodium metal; within a few minutes as the sodium metal vaporizes, the emission becomes the common bright yellow. These lamps produce a virtually monochromatic light averaging a 589.3 nm wavelength (actually two dominant spectral lines very close together at 589.0 and 589. ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric-pump-fed_engine

    Electrical pumps had been used in the secondary propulsion system of the Agena upper stage vehicle. [ 1 ] As of December 2020, the only rocket engines to use electric propellant pump systems are the Rutherford engine, [ 2 ] ten of which power the Electron rocket, [ 2 ] and the Delphin engine, five of which power the first stage of Astra Space ...
