[2] [3] For shallow water surface supply air diving, the diver's umbilical is typically a 3-part umbilical comprising a 3 ⁄ 8 inch (9.5 mm) bore breathing gas hose, 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6.4 mm) bore pneumofathometer ("pneumo") hose, and diver communications cable, which usually also serves as a lifeline strength member. The pneumo hose is open at ...

The 1966-1967 4-4-2 400 cu in (6.6 L) V8 was a short stroke engine which featured B and C cast large-valve cylinder heads and hydraulic lifters of larger diameter, as well as push-rods of different length and diameter than the standard Olds Rocket V8.
A fitting or adapter is used in pipe systems to connect sections of pipe (designated by nominal size, with greater tolerances of variance) or tube (designated by actual size, with lower tolerance for variance), adapt to different sizes or shapes, and for other purposes such as regulating (or measuring) fluid flow.
Thrust is generated by the propulsion system of the rocket through the application of Newton's third law of motion: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". A gas or working fluid is accelerated out the rear of the rocket engine nozzle, and the rocket is accelerated in the opposite direction.
Liquid rocket fuel. Oxidizer. Pumps carry the fuel and oxidizer. The combustion chamber mixes and burns the two liquids. The hot exhaust is choked at the throat, which, among other things, dictates the amount of thrust produced. Exhaust exits the rocket.
Pressure-fed rocket cycle. Propellant tanks are pressurized to directly supply fuel and oxidizer to the engine, eliminating the need for turbopumps. The pressure-fed engine is a class of rocket engine designs. A separate gas supply, usually helium, pressurizes the propellant tanks to force fuel and oxidizer to the combustion chamber. To ...
Diagram of a de Laval nozzle, showing approximate flow velocity (v), together with the effect on temperature (T) and pressure (p) A de Laval nozzle (or convergent-divergent nozzle , CD nozzle or con-di nozzle ) is a tube which is pinched in the middle, with a rapid convergence and gradual divergence.
