  2. Stodola's cone law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stodola's_cone_law

    For a given outlet pressure , flow rates change depending on the inlet pressure as an arc of hyperbola in a plane parallel to ˙. Usually, Stodola's cone does not represent absolute flow rates and pressures, but rather maximum flow rates and pressures, with the maximum values of the diagram having in this case the value of 1.

  3. File:Mir Docking Cone Placement and Module Movements.pdf

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mir_Docking_Cone...

    English: This PDF displays the movements of the internal Conus docking cones within the Mir core module's forward docking hub over the lifetime of the station. Most Conus movements were made by cosmonauts during internal EVAs lasting approximately 20 minutes, as the Conus placement required removing one of four outer hatches exposing the pressurised hub to the vacuum of space.

  4. Venturi effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect

    Fluid flows through a length of pipe of varying diameter. To avoid undue aerodynamic drag, a Venturi tube typically has an entry cone of 30 degrees and an exit cone of 5 degrees. [1] Venturi tubes are often used in processes where permanent pressure loss is not tolerable and where maximum accuracy is needed in case of highly viscous liquids.

  5. Cone of depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_of_depression

    A cone of depression is a circular area surrounding a well where groundwater levels are reduced from pumping. [1] [2] In an unconfined aquifer (water table), this is an actual depression of the water levels. In confined aquifers , the cone of depression is a reduction in the pressure head surrounding the pumped well.

  6. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    General parameters used for constructing nose cone profiles. Given the problem of the aerodynamic design of the nose cone section of any vehicle or body meant to travel through a compressible fluid medium (such as a rocket or aircraft, missile, shell or bullet), an important problem is the determination of the nose cone geometrical shape for optimum performance.

  7. Venturi flume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_flume

    It was first developed by V.M. Cone in Fort Collins, Colorado. [3] The Venturi flume consists of a flume with a constricted section in the center. By the Venturi effect, this causes a drop in the fluid pressure at the center of the constriction.

  8. Cone penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_penetration_test

    The cone penetration or cone penetrometer test (CPT) is a method used to determine the geotechnical engineering properties of soils and delineating soil stratigraphy. It was initially developed in the 1950s at the Dutch Laboratory for Soil Mechanics in Delft to investigate soft soils. Based on this history it has also been called the "Dutch ...

  9. Payload fairing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payload_fairing

    A payload fairing is a nose cone used to protect a spacecraft payload against the impact of dynamic pressure and aerodynamic heating during launch through an atmosphere. An additional function on some flights is to maintain the cleanroom environment for precision instruments. [ 1 ]
