  2. Compressor stall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_stall

    The compressor will recover to normal flow once the engine pressure ratio reduces to a level at which the compressor is capable of sustaining stable airflow. If, however, the conditions that induced the stall remain, the return of stable airflow will reproduce the conditions at the time of surge and the process will repeat. [2]

  3. British Airways Flight 268 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_268

    The flight took off at about 9:24 p.m. on 20 February 2005. When the aircraft, a four-engine Boeing 747-436, was around 300 feet (91 m) into the air, flames burst out of its number 2 engine, a result of engine surge. The pilots shut the engine down. Air traffic control expected the plane to return to the airport and deleted its flight plan.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROBLOX

    Roblox began to grow rapidly in the second half of the 2010s, and this growth was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. [11] [12] Roblox is free to play, with in-game purchases available through a virtual currency called Robux. As of August 2020, Roblox had over 164 million monthly active users, including more than half of all American children ...

  5. Compressor characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_characteristic

    Compressor characteristic is a mathematical curve that shows the behaviour of a fluid going through a dynamic compressor. It shows changes in fluid pressure , temperature , entropy , flow rate etc.) with the compressor operating at different speeds.

  6. Compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

    Natural gas compressor at a gas well High pressure reciprocating compressor from Belliss and Morcom, used in the bottling industry. A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor.

  7. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

    When compressor surge happens, the operating point of a compressor, which is usually denoted by the pair of the mass flow rate and pressure ratio, orbits along a surge cycle on the compressor performance map. The unstable performance caused by compressor surge is not acceptable to machines on which a compressor is mounted to ventilate or dense air.

  8. Air compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_compressor

    Air compressor supplies air into a nail gun.. An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It is an application of a gas compressor and a pneumatic device that converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses.

  9. Liquid slugging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_slugging

    Liquid slugging is the phenomenon of liquid entering the cylinder of a reciprocating compressor, a common cause of failure. [1] Under normal conditions, the intake and output of a compressor cylinder is entirely vapor or gas, when a liquid accumulates at the suction port liquid slugging can occur. As more of the practically incompressible ...
