2. Slosh baffle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slosh_baffle

   A slosh baffle is a device used to dampen the adverse effects of liquid slosh in a tank. Slosh baffles have been implemented in a variety of applications including tanker trucks , and liquid rockets , although any moving tank containing liquid may employ them.

   In this case the baffle helps increase the efficiency of the stove as more heat leaves the gas before it exits. The baffles prevent the rotational flow without affecting radial or longitudinal flow. The tank is provided with baffles which prevent swirling and vortex formation. Except in very large tanks, four(4) baffles are placed.

   It consists of a hollow ring mounted either in the base of the chimney or on top of the blastpipe. Holes are drilled in the top of the blower ring, and when steam is fed into the ring, the steam jets out of the holes and up the chimney, stimulating draught, [1] much like a blastpipe. Boiler

7. Dry sump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

   In a wet-sump engine, oil slosh against spinning parts causes substantial viscous drag which creates parasitic power loss. [5] [6] A dry-sump system removes oil from the crankcase, along with the possibility of such viscous drag. More complex dry-sump systems may scavenge oil from other areas where oil may pool, such as in the valvetrain.
