A stall is the slowing or stopping of a process, and, in the case of an engine, refers to a sudden stopping of the engine turning, [1] usually brought about accidentally. It is commonly applied to the phenomenon whereby an engine abruptly ceases operating and stops turning.
Stalling or Stallings can refer to: . Meanings derived from the term "stall", see Stall (disambiguation); Stalling (behavior)** Stalling* refers to the act of intentionally delaying or postponing an action, task, or decision, often to avoid or defer the associated responsibility or effort.
Stall torque is the torque produced by a mechanical device whose output rotational speed is zero. It may also mean the torque load that causes the output rotational speed of a device to become zero, i.e., to cause stalling. Electric motors, steam engines and hydrodynamic transmissions are all capable of developing torque when stalled.
A stall does not mean that the engine(s) have stopped working, or that the aircraft has stopped moving—the effect is the same even in an unpowered glider aircraft. Vectored thrust in aircraft is used to maintain altitude or controlled flight with wings stalled by replacing lost wing lift with engine or propeller thrust , thereby giving rise ...
Staling is a chemical and physical process in bread that reduces its palatability.Staling is not simply a drying-out process caused by evaporation. [1] One important mechanism is the migration of moisture from the starch granules into the interstitial spaces, degelatinizing the starch; stale bread's leathery, hard texture results from the starch amylose and amylopectin molecules realigning and ...
A compressor stall is a local disruption of the airflow in the compressor of a gas turbine or turbocharger. A stall that results in the complete disruption of the airflow through the compressor is referred to as a compressor surge. The severity of the phenomenon ranges from a momentary power drop barely registered by the engine instruments to a ...
Some of the 75,000 U.S. federal workers who the Office of Personnel Management says accepted a resignation buyout offer were ready to retire anyway. Many bristled at Donald Trump's description of ...
In sports strategy, running out the clock, also known as running down the clock, stonewalling, killing the clock, chewing the clock, stalling, eating clock [1] or time-wasting (or timewasting), is the practice of a winning team allowing the clock to expire through a series of preselected plays, either to preserve a lead or hasten the end of a one-sided contest.
