  2. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    Flow coefficient. The flow coefficient of a device is a relative measure of its efficiency at allowing fluid flow. It describes the relationship between the pressure drop across an orifice valve or other assembly and the corresponding flow rate . Mathematically the flow coefficient Cv (or flow-capacity rating of valve) can be expressed as. where.

  3. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    Using ideal gas equation of state for constant temperature process (i.e., / is constant) and the conservation of mass flow rate (i.e., ˙ = is constant), the relation Qp = Q 1 p 1 = Q 2 p 2 can be obtained. Over a short section of the pipe, the gas flowing through the pipe can be assumed to be incompressible so that Poiseuille law can be used ...

  4. Flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-restricted,_oxygen...

    The (FROPVD) has a peak flow rate of 100% oxygen at up to 40 liters per minute. To use the device, manually trigger it until chest rise is noted and then release. Wait five seconds before repeating. The device must have a pressure relief valve that opens at 60cm of water pressure to avoid over ventilation and trauma to the lungs.

  5. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    Choked flow is a compressible flow effect. The parameter that becomes "choked" or "limited" is the fluid velocity. 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 ...

  6. Joule–Thomson effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule–Thomson_effect

    Joule–Thomson effect. In thermodynamics, the Joule–Thomson effect (also known as the Joule–Kelvin effect or Kelvin–Joule effect) describes the temperature change of a real gas or liquid (as differentiated from an ideal gas) when it is forced by a pressure difference through a valve or porous plug while keeping it insulated so that no ...

  7. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    The gas flow is constant. The gas flow is along a straight line from gas inlet to exhaust gas exit. The gas flow behavior is compressible. There are numerous applications where a steady, uniform, isentropic flow is a good approximation to the flow in conduits. These include the flow through a jet engine, through the nozzle of a rocket, from a ...

  8. Air flow bench - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_flow_bench

    An air flow bench is a device used for testing the internal aerodynamic qualities of an engine component and is related to the more familiar wind tunnel . It is used primarily for testing the intake and exhaust ports of cylinder heads of internal combustion engines. It is also used to test the flow capabilities of any component such as air ...

  9. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    The most common final control element in the process control industries is the control valve. The control valve manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or chemical compounds, to compensate for the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point.
