  2. Suction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction

    Suction is the day-to-day term for forces experienced by objects that are exposed to the movement of gases or liquids moving along a pressure gradient. Contrary to popular belief, however, the forces acting in this case do not originate from the lower pressure side (the vacuum), but from the side of the higher pressure.

  3. Role suction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role_suction

    Role suction is a term introduced in the United States by Fritz Redl in the mid-20th century to describe the power of a social group to allocate roles to its members.. W. R. Bion's group dynamics further explored the ways whereby the group (unconsciously) allocates particular functions to particular individuals in order to have its covert emotional needs met; [1] and the process has recently ...

  5. Situational strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situational_strength

    Situational strength is defined as cues provided by environmental forces regarding the desirability of potential behaviors. [1] Situational strength is said to result in psychological pressure on the individual to engage in and/or refrain from particular behaviors.

  6. Aquatic feeding mechanisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_feeding_mechanisms

    Ram feeding and suction feeding are on opposite sides of the feeding spectrum, where extreme ram feeding is when a predator swims over an immobile prey item with open jaws to engulf the prey. Extreme suction feeding is demonstrated by sit-and-wait predators that rely on rapid depression of the jaws to capture prey (e.g. frogfish, Antennariidae).

  8. Slab suction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_suction

    Slab suction is weaker than slab pull, which is the strongest of the driving forces. When measuring the forces of these two mechanisms, slab pull in subducting plate boundaries for upper mantle slabs is 1.9 × 10^21 N. [clarification needed] In comparison slab suction in the upper and lower mantle totaled 1.6 × 10^21 N. [3]

  9. Suction pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_pressure

    In refrigeration and air conditioning systems, the suction pressure' (also called the low-side pressure) is the intake pressure generated by the system compressor while operating. The suction pressure, along with the suction temperature the wet bulb temperature of the discharge air are used to determine the correct refrigerant charge in a system.
