  2. Wikipedia talk : WikiProject Pipe organ/Windchest designs

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject...

    All the cone valves move when the corresponding key is pressed. Therefore, in order for a pipe to sound in a cone valve chest, two events must occur: A stop must be activated so that the the stop channel is filled with wind. A key must be pressed, opening the cone valves under all the pipes for that note, so that wind is admitted to any pipe ...

  3. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

    Turning a valve knob or lever adjusts flow by varying the aperture of the control device in the valve assembly. The result when opened in any degree is a choked flow . Its rate is independent of the viscosity or temperature of the fluid or gas in the pipe, and depends only weakly on the supply pressure , so that flow rate is stable at a given ...

  4. Steam turbine governing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine_governing

    In this method groups of two, three or more nozzles form a set and each set is controlled by a separate valve. The actuation of individual valve closes the corresponding set of nozzle thereby controlling the flow rate. In actual turbine, nozzle governing is applied only to the first stage whereas the subsequent stages remain unaffected. [1]

  5. Floodgate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floodgate

    Fixed cone valves are able to handle heads up to 300 m. Hollow jet valves are a type of needle valve used for floodgate discharge. A cone and seat are inside a pipe. Water flows through an annular gap between the pipe and cone when it is moved downstream, away from the seat. Ribs support the bulb assembly and supply air for water jet stabilization.

    The valve gear, actuated by connection to the driving wheels, ensures that steam is delivered to the piston with precision. Types are slide valves, piston valves or poppet valves. [2] [3]: 62 Valve chest / Steam chest Valve chamber next to the cylinder (24) containing passageways to distribute steam to the cylinders. [6]: 41 [3]: 75 Firebox

  7. Flare fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flare_fitting

    The most common is a tool design with a die and a cone, which is screwed through the handle until the edges are separated at the required angle. [11] [12] [13] A relatively new compact design is the reamer, used as an attachment to a drill. In this case, by friction, the pipe material is heated and gradually flattened to the shape of the nozzle ...

    The two parts of this flame are the light blue inner cone and the darker blue to colorless outer cone. The inner cone is where the acetylene and the oxygen combine. The tip of this inner cone is the hottest part of the flame. It is approximately 6,000 °F (3,320 °C) and provides enough heat to easily melt steel. [5]

  9. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    General parameters used for constructing nose cone profiles. Given the problem of the aerodynamic design of the nose cone section of any vehicle or body meant to travel through a compressible fluid medium (such as a rocket or aircraft, missile, shell or bullet), an important problem is the determination of the nose cone geometrical shape for optimum performance.
