  2. Stirling engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine

    Considering this issue, helium would be the best gas because of its very low heat capacity. Air is a viable working fluid, [72] but the oxygen in a highly pressurized air engine can cause fatal accidents caused by lubricating oil explosions. [73] Following one such accident Philips pioneered the use of other gases to avoid such risk of explosions.

  3. Hand pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_pump

    Hand-powered force pump, with an air chamber to smooth out variations in flow rate. Hand pumps are manually operated pumps; they use human power and mechanical advantage to move fluids or air from one place to another. They are widely used in every country in the world for a variety of industrial, marine, irrigation and leisure activities.

  4. Peristaltic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristaltic_pump

    A peristaltic pump, also commonly known as a roller pump, is a type of positive displacement pump used for pumping a variety of fluids. The fluid is contained in a flexible tube fitted inside a circular pump casing. Most peristaltic pumps work through rotary motion, though linear peristaltic pumps have also been made.

  5. Secondary air injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_air_injection

    The pump's air intake is filtered by a rotating screen or the vehicle air filter to exclude dirt particles large enough to damage the system. Air is delivered under light pressure to the injection point(s). A check valve prevents exhaust forcing its way back through the air injection system, which would damage the pump and other components.

    9. air liquid mixture 10. pump outlet L: liquid, usually wastewater LL: liquid level V: Vessel G: Gravel or solids. An airlift pump is a pump that has low suction and moderate discharge of liquid and entrained solids. The pump injects compressed air at the bottom of the discharge pipe which is immersed in the liquid.

    Yamato 1 on display in Kobe, Japan.The first working full-scale MHD ship. A magnetohydrodynamic drive or MHD accelerator is a method for propelling vehicles using only electric and magnetic fields with no moving parts, accelerating an electrically conductive propellant (liquid or gas) with magnetohydrodynamics.

  8. Scroll compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll_compressor

    A scroll compressor (also called spiral compressor, scroll pump and scroll vacuum pump) is a device for compressing air or refrigerant. [1] It is used in air conditioning equipment, as an automobile supercharger (where it is known as a scroll-type supercharger ) and as a vacuum pump .
