  2. Southern valve gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_valve_gear

    Unlike the Walschaerts and Baker systems, the Southern valve gear dispensed with the combination lever which transmitted some of the crosshead motion to the valves. As with those systems it used a return crank on a driver (instead of the eccentrics used by the Stephenson valve gear). The return crank attached to the eccentric rod, which hung ...

  3. Power cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_cord

    A power cord, line cord, or mains cable is an electrical cable that temporarily connects an appliance to the mains electricity supply via a wall socket or extension cord. The terms are generally used for cables using a power plug to connect to a single-phase alternating current power source at the local line voltage (generally 100 to 240 volts ...

  5. Baker valve gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_valve_gear

    The Baker valve gear replaces the expansion link of the Walschaerts gear with an assembly of levers and links which produces the same effect of allowing continuous variation valve travel. The remainder of the gear is the same, so that the return crank and combination lever take the same form, although the proportions are usually modified.

  6. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    Power available in the gas turbine exhaust is converted into a high speed propelling jet by the nozzle. The power is defined by typical gauge pressure and temperature values for a turbojet of 20 psi (140 kPa) and 1,000 °F (538 °C). [18]

  9. System context diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_context_diagram

    Example of a system context diagram. [1] A system context diagram in engineering is a diagram that defines the boundary between the system, or part of a system, and its environment, showing the entities that interact with it. [2] This diagram is a high level view of a system. It is similar to a block diagram.
