  2. Mitral annular calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_annular_calcification

    Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a multifactorial chronic degenerative process in which calcium with lipid is deposited in the annular fibrosa ring of the heart's mitral valve. MAC was first discovered and described in 1908 by M. Bonninger in the journal Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift . [ 1 ]

  3. Annulus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annulus_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, an annulus (pl.: annuli or annuluses) is the region between two concentric circles. Informally, it is shaped like a ring or a hardware washer. The word "annulus" is borrowed from the Latin word anulus or annulus meaning 'little ring'. The adjectival form is annular (as in annular eclipse).

  4. Annular lift fan aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annular_lift_fan_aircraft

    The annular lift fan concept uses two parallel annular fans counter-rotating about the central fuselage.(see plan view) The two fans are incorporated in an annular duct, separated by a baffle, but coupled by the gears in the baffle to counter-rotate and eliminate torque. During VTOL, the outer fan is driven pneumatically or mechanically by the ...

  5. Three-dimensional losses and correlation in turbomachinery

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_losses...

    Reduction in high losses between annulus wall and tip clearance region, which includes the trailing edge of a blade profile. This is due to flow mixing and flow redistribution at the inner radius as flow proceeds downstream. Between the hub and annulus wall, losses are prominent due to three-dimensionality.

  6. Annular velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annular_velocity

    Annular velocity is the speed of the drilling fluid's movement in a column called an annulus in oil wells. [1] It is commonly measured in feet per minute (ft/min) or meters per minute (m/min). Annular velocity is often abbreviated as AV, though this is not exclusively so, as AV also refers to apparent viscosity which is calculated from ...

  7. Mitral valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve

    The normal diameter of the mitral annulus is 2.7 to 3.5 centimetres (1.1 to 1.4 in), and the circumference is 8 to 9 centimetres (3.1 to 3.5 in). Microscopically, there is no evidence of an annular structure anteriorly, where the mitral valve leaflet is contiguous with the posterior aortic root. [13]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Element_Momentum_Theory

    Thus, if we have two points on a streamline, point 1 and point 2, and at point 1 the velocity of the fluid along the streamline is and the pressure at 1 is , and at point 2 the velocity of the fluid along the streamline is and the pressure at 2 is , and no energy has been extracted from the fluid between points 1 and 2, then we have the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annular_fluidized_bed

    Section drawing of an annular fluidized bed. Fluidisation is a phenomenon whereby solid particulate is placed under certain conditions to cause it to behave like a fluid.A fluidized bed is a system conceived to facilitate the fluidisation.
