  2. Nasal cannula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cannula

    The nasal cannula (NC) is a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or increased airflow to a patient or person in need of respiratory help. This device consists of a lightweight tube which on one end splits into two prongs which are placed in the nostrils curving toward the sinuses behind the nose, and from which a mixture of air and oxygen flows.

  3. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    On slow-moving delivery vehicles and boats, there was often no suitable air slipstream for the road draught tube. In these situations, the engines used positive pressure at the breather tube to push blow-by gases from the crankcase. Therefore, the breather air intake was often located in the airflow behind the engine's cooling fan. [1]

  4. Plenum chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plenum_chamber

    A plenum chamber is a pressurised housing containing a fluid (typically air) at positive pressure. One of its functions is to equalise pressure for more even distribution, compensating for irregular supply or demand. It is typically relatively large in volume and thus has relatively low velocity compared to the system's other components.

  5. Tracheal intubation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheal_intubation

    A tracheal tube is a catheter that is inserted into the trachea for the primary purpose of establishing and maintaining a patent (open and unobstructed) airway. Tracheal tubes are frequently used for airway management in the settings of general anesthesia, critical care, mechanical ventilation, and emergency medicine. Many different types of ...

  6. Underground mine ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_mine_ventilation

    An auxiliary ventilation system takes air from the flow-through system and distributes it to the mine workings via temporarily mounted ventilation fans, Venturi tubes and disposable fabric or steel ducting. Auxiliary fan and duct systems may be either forcing systems, where fresh air is pushed into mine headings, or exhausting systems that draw ...

  7. Valveless pulsejet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valveless_Pulsejet

    The chamber typically takes up a fairly small fraction of the overall main tube length. The acceleration of air mass back through the intake duct doesn't make sense for engine thrust if the intake is aimed forward, since the intake thrust is a fairly large fraction of the tailpipe thrust.

  8. NACA duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NACA_duct

    Three intakes (facing right) on an engine cowling When properly implemented, a NACA duct allows air to flow into an internal duct, often for cooling purposes, with a minimal disturbance to the flow. The design was originally called a submerged inlet, since it consists of a shallow ramp with curved walls recessed into the exposed surface of a ...

  9. Hard suction hose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_suction_hose

    5-inch (13 cm) flex suction hose with Storz fittings, mounted on an engine. Flexible suction hose (Flex suction or suction hose), not to be confused with hard suction hose in U.S., is a specific type of fire hose used in drafting operations, when a fire engine uses a vacuum to draw water from a portable water tank, pool, or other static water source.
