  2. Ducted propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_propeller

    Kort nozzle The towboat Dolphin I in a floating drydock on the Mississippi River in Algiers, Louisiana. A ducted propeller, also known as a Kort nozzle, is a marine propeller fitted with a non-rotating nozzle. It is used to improve the efficiency of the propeller and is especially used on heavily loaded propellers or propellers with limited ...

  3. Propelling nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propelling_nozzle

    The nozzle opens up in two halves which come together to redirect the exhaust partially forward. Since the nozzle area has an influence on the operation of the engine (see below), the deployed thrust reverser has to be spaced the correct distance from the jetpipe to prevent changes in engine operating limits.

  5. Solutions for cavitation in marine propellers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solutions_for_Cavitation...

    A nozzle system uses a set of nozzles to help reduce and prevent the likelihood of cavitation in propellers. This system was developed by Samsung Heavy Industries , based in South Korea. In order to reduce the possibility of cavitation happening in marine propellers, a set of nozzles are placed on the hull of the ship directly in front of the ...

  6. Voith Schneider Propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voith_Schneider_Propeller

    The Voith Schneider propeller was originally a design for a hydro-electric turbine. [2] Its Austrian inventor, Ernst Schneider, had a chance meeting on a train with a manager at Voith's subsidiary St. Pölten works; this led to the turbine being investigated by Voith's engineers, who discovered that although it was no more efficient than other water turbines, Schneider's design worked well as ...

  7. Coffee percolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_percolator

    This process enabled small amounts of coffee grounds to leak into the fresh coffee. Additionally, the process left wet grounds in the percolator basket. The benefit of the pre-packed coffee filter rings was two-fold: First, because the amount of coffee contained in the rings was pre-measured, it negated the need to measure each scoop and then ...

  8. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    A nozzle for a supersonic flow must increase in area in the flow direction, and a diffuser must decrease in area, opposite to a nozzle and diffuser for a subsonic flow. So, for a supersonic flow to develop from a reservoir where the velocity is zero, the subsonic flow must first accelerate through a converging area to a throat, followed by ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_preparation

    Filter coffee being brewed. Coffee preparation is the making of liquid coffee using coffee beans.While the particular steps vary with the type of coffee and with the raw materials, the process includes four basic steps: raw coffee beans must be roasted, the roasted coffee beans must then be ground, and the ground coffee must then be mixed with hot or cold water (depending on the method of ...
