2. Choked flow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

   The upstream volumetric flow rate is lower than the downstream condition because of the higher upstream density. The choked velocity is a function of the upstream pressure but not the downstream. Although the velocity is constant, the mass flow rate is dependent on the density of the upstream gas, which is a function of the upstream pressure.

3. Venturi effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect

   The upstream static pressure (1) is higher than in the constriction (2), and the fluid speed at "1" is lower than at "2", because the cross-sectional area at "1" is greater than at "2". A flow of air through a pitot tube Venturi meter, showing the columns connected in a manometer and partially filled with water. The meter is "read" as a ...

4. Mechanism of diving regulators - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_diving_regulators

   At initially subsonic upstream conditions, the conservation of mass principle requires the fluid velocity to increase as it flows through the smaller cross-sectional area of the constriction. At the same time, the venturi effect causes the static pressure, and therefore the density, to decrease at the constriction.

5. Diving regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_regulator

   A diving regulator or underwater diving regulator is a pressure regulator that controls the pressure of breathing gas for underwater diving.The most commonly recognised application is to reduce pressurized breathing gas to ambient pressure and deliver it to the diver, but there are also other types of gas pressure regulator used for diving applications.

6. Parshall flume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parshall_flume

   The Parshall Flume acts essentially as a constriction, a downward step, and then an expansion: the upstream section is uniformly convergent and flat, the throat is a short parallel section that slopes downward, and the downstream section is uniformly diverging and slopes upward to an ending elevation that is less than the upstream starting ...

7. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

   A back-pressure regulator, back-pressure valve, pressure sustaining valve or pressure sustaining regulator is a control valve that maintains the set pressure at its inlet side by opening to allow flow when the inlet pressure exceeds the set value.
