  2. Solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid

    A solenoid (/ ˈsoʊlənɔɪd / [1]) is a type of electromagnet formed by a helical coil of wire whose length is substantially greater than its diameter, [2] which generates a controlled magnetic field. The coil can produce a uniform magnetic field in a volume of space when an electric current is passed through it.

  3. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

    In engineering, a solenoid is a device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy, using an electromagnet formed from a coil of wire. The device creates a magnetic field [1] from electric current, and uses the magnetic field to create linear motion. [2][3][4] In electromagnetic technology, a solenoid is an actuator assembly with a ...

  4. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

    A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve. Solenoid valves differ in the characteristics of the electric current they use, the strength of the magnetic field they generate, the mechanism they use to regulate the fluid, and the type and characteristics of fluid they control. The mechanism varies from linear action, plunger-type ...

  5. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

    Starter solenoid. A starter solenoid is an electromagnet which is actuated to engage the starter motor of an internal combustion engine. It is normally attached directly to the starter motor which it controls. Its primary function is as the actuating coil of a contactor (a relay designed for large electric currents) which connects the battery ...

  6. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Electromagnetic induction. Alternating electric current flows through the solenoid on the left, producing a changing magnetic field. This field causes, by electromagnetic induction, an electric current to flow in the wire loop on the right. Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (emf) across an ...

  7. Electromagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet

    The solenoid is a coil of wire, and the plunger is made of a material such as soft iron. Applying a current to the solenoid applies a force to the plunger and may make it move. The plunger stops moving when the forces upon it are balanced. For example, the forces are balanced when the plunger is centered in the solenoid.

  8. Solenoidal vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoidal_vector_field

    An example of a solenoidal vector field, (,) = (,) In vector calculus a solenoidal vector field (also known as an incompressible vector field , a divergence-free vector field , or a transverse vector field ) is a vector field v with divergence zero at all points in the field: ∇ ⋅ v = 0. {\displaystyle \nabla \cdot \mathbf {v} =0.}

  9. Shutdown valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_valve

    A blowdown valve (BDV) is a type of shutdown valve designed to depressurize a pressure vessel by directing vapour to a flare, vent or blowdown stack in an emergency. BDVs fail-safe to the open position upon failure of the control system. [ 1 ] The type of valve, type of actuation and performance measurement are similar to an ESD valve.
