A vacuum ejector, or simply ejector, or aspirator, is a type of vacuum pump, which produces vacuum by means of the Venturi effect.. In an ejector, a working fluid (liquid or gaseous) flows through a jet nozzle into a tube that first narrows and then expands in cross-sectional area.
Video of a Venturi meter used in a lab experiment Idealized flow in a Venturi tube. The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a moving fluid speeds up as it flows from one section of a pipe to a smaller section. The Venturi effect is named after its discoverer, the 18th-century Italian physicist Giovanni Battista ...
Choked flow is a fluid dynamic condition associated with the Venturi effect. When a flowing fluid at a given pressure and temperature passes through a constriction (such as the throat of a convergent-divergent nozzle or a valve in a pipe) into a lower pressure environment the fluid velocity increases.
A venturi siphon, also known as an eductor, is not a siphon but a form of vacuum pump using the Venturi effect of fast flowing fluids (e.g. air), to produce low pressures to suction other fluids; a common example is the carburetor. See pressure head.
Bernoulli's principle is a key concept in fluid dynamics that relates pressure, density, speed and height. Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a parcel of fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in either the pressure or the height above a datum. [1]:
Therefore, an accelerator pump is often used to briefly provide extra fuel as the throttle is opened. [12] When the driver presses the throttle pedal, a small piston or diaphragm pump injects extra fuel directly into the carburetor throat. [13] The accelerator pump can also be used to "prime" an engine with extra fuel prior to attempting a cold ...
Figure 6 - Adjustable-throat venturi scrubber with movable plate. Venturi scrubbers can be used for removing gaseous pollutants; however, they are not used when removal of gaseous pollutants is the only concern. The high inlet gas velocities in a venturi scrubber result in a very short contact time between the liquid and gas phases.
A Venturi meter with two pressure instruments open to the ambient air. ( p > 0 {\displaystyle p>0} and g > 0 {\displaystyle g>0} ) If the meter is turned upside down, we say by convention that g < 0 {\displaystyle g<0} and the fluid inside the vertical columns will pour out the two holes.
