  2. Zero-pressure balloons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-pressure_balloons

    A zero-pressure balloon (ZP) is a style of aerostatic balloon that is unsealed at its base, creating a mechanism by which lifting gas can vent out the bottom of the balloon when the balloon becomes full, allowing the balloon to float at stable altitudes. During the day the gas heats up in the sun, and at night the gas cools causing them to descend.

    The WICON-Stem Pressure Machine (SPM) exploits this flow. [104] Estimated efficiency 67%. The University of Southampton School of Civil Engineering and the Environment in the UK has investigated both types of Hydraulic wheel machines and has estimated their hydraulic efficiency and suggested improvements, i.e. The Rotary Hydraulic Pressure Machine.

  4. Boundary conditions in computational fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    These conditions are used when we don’t know the exact details of flow distribution but boundary values of pressure are known For example: external flows around objects, internal flows with multiple outlets, buoyancy-driven flows, free surface flows, etc. The pressure corrections are taken zero at the nodes.

  5. Ferris wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferris_wheel

    Ain Dubai, the world's largest Ferris wheel since 2021 in Dubai.. A Ferris wheel (also called a big wheel, giant wheel or an observation wheel) is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating upright wheel with multiple passenger-carrying components (commonly referred to as passenger cars, cabins, tubs, gondolas, capsules, or pods) attached to the rim in such a way that as the wheel turns, they ...

  6. Deluge gun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deluge_gun

    A deluge gun can discharge 7,500 litres (2,000 US gal) per minute or more. A master stream is a fire service term for a water stream of 1,250 litres (330 US gal) per minute or greater.

  7. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    Their isobars lie below the black isobar, and form those parts of the surfaces seen in Figures A and C that lie below the zero-pressure plane. In this T , v {\displaystyle T,v} plane they have a parabola-like shape, and, like the zero-pressure isobar, their states are all either metastable (positive or zero slope) or unstable (negative slope).

  8. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    Gauge pressure is zero-referenced against ambient air pressure, so it is equal to absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure. A tire pressure gauge is an example of gauge pressure measurement; when it indicates zero, then the pressure it is measuring is the same as the ambient pressure.

  9. Potential flow around a circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_flow_around_a...

    The low pressure, which must be present to provide the centripetal acceleration, will also increase the flow speed as the fluid travels from higher to lower values of pressure. Thus we find the maximum speed in the flow, V = 2U, in the low pressure on the sides of the cylinder. A value of V > U is consistent with conservation of the volume of ...
