  2. Moisture vapor transmission rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_vapor...

    The most common international unit for the MVTR is g/m 2 /day, or "metric perm". In the USA, g/100in 2 /day is also in use, which is 0.064516 (approximately 1/15) of the value of g/m 2 /day units. Typical rates in aluminium foil laminates may be as low as 0.001 g/m 2 /day, whereas the rate in fabrics can measure up to several thousand g/m 2 /day.

  3. Flow control (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_(fluid)

    Active control requires actuators that require energy and may operate in a time-dependent manner. [1] Active flow control includes steady or unsteady suction or blowing, [2] the use of synthetic jets, valves and plasma actuators. Actuation may be pre-determined (open-loop control) or be dependent on monitoring sensors (closed-loop control).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_computer

    American Petroleum Institute (API) MPMS (Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards) Chapter 21—Chapters 21.1 - Electronic Gas Systems, and Chapter 21.2 - Liquid Electronic Systems address the ability to audit and verify the information produced by a flow computer, and defines the data which a flow computer should retain, the items which should be audited if modified, the reports which the ...

  5. Fluidics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidics

    Their published result caught the attention of several major industries and created a surge of interest in applying fluidics (then called fluid amplification) to sophisticated control systems, which lasted throughout the 1960s. [4] [5] Horton is credited for developing the first fluid amplifier control device and launching the field of fluidics ...

  6. Control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_system

    [1] The definition of a closed loop control system according to the British Standards Institution is "a control system possessing monitoring feedback, the deviation signal formed as a result of this feedback being used to control the action of a final control element in such a way as to tend to reduce the deviation to zero." [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_diving_environment

    Under ice, the temperature of fresh water is limited to 0 °C (32 °F) at the surface or directly under the ice, and up to 4 °C (39 °F)in deeper water. In sea water the temperatures can be a few degrees lower, the minimum recorded temperature for Antarctic bottom water is −2.6 °C (27.3 °F).
