  2. Manifold (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_(fluid_mechanics)

    A component used to regulate fluid flow in a hydraulic system, thus controlling the transfer of power between actuators and pumps. Inlet manifold (or "intake manifold") An engine part that supplies the air or fuel/air mixture to the cylinders. Scuba manifold. In a scuba set, connects two or more diving cylinders. Vacuum gas manifold.

  3. Flow distribution in manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_distribution_in_manifolds

    The n is the number of ports and L the length of the manifold (Fig. 2). This is fundamental of manifold and network models. Thus, a T-junction (Fig. 3) can be represented by two Bernoulli equations according to two flow outlets. A flow in manifold can be represented by a channel network model.

  4. Manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold

    More precisely, an -dimensional manifold, or -manifold for short, is a topological space with the property that each point has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to an open subset of -dimensional Euclidean space. One-dimensional manifolds include lines and circles, but not self-crossing curves such as a figure 8.

  5. Closed manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_manifold

    Every closed manifold is a Euclidean neighborhood retract and thus has finitely generated homology groups. [2] If is a closed connected n-manifold, the n-th homology group is or 0 depending on whether is orientable or not. [3] Moreover, the torsion subgroup of the (n-1)-th homology group is 0 or depending on whether is orientable or not.

  6. Tubular neighborhood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular_neighborhood

    In mathematics, a tubular neighborhood of a submanifold of a smooth manifold is an open set around it resembling the normal bundle. The idea behind a tubular neighborhood can be explained in a simple example. Consider a smooth curve in the plane without self-intersections. On each point on the curve draw a line perpendicular to the curve.

  7. Plenum chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plenum_chamber

    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 ...

  8. Klein bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_bottle

    More formally, the Klein bottle is a two-dimensional manifold on which one cannot define a normal vector at each point that varies continuously over the whole manifold. Other related non-orientable surfaces include the Möbius strip and the real projective plane. While a Möbius strip is a surface with a boundary, a Klein bottle has no boundary.

  9. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    A bypass tube is a component, usually found on turbojets that is an external pipe/s that channels air from the compressor to the propelling nozzle and afterburner section. [19] Notable examples using bypass tubes are the Brandner E-300, Rolls-Royce Olympus and the Pratt & Whitney J58 the most common.
