  2. Circle diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_diagram

    The circle diagram can be drawn for alternators, synchronous motors, transformers, induction motors. The Heyland diagram is an approximate representation of a circle diagram applied to induction motors, which assumes that stator input voltage, rotor resistance and rotor reactance are constant and stator resistance and core loss are zero.

  3. Butterfly valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve

    Unlike a ball valve, the disc is always present within the flow, so it induces a pressure drop, even when open. A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter-turn valves. In operation, the valve is fully open or closed when the disc is rotated a quarter turn. The "butterfly" is a metal disc mounted on a rod. When the valve is ...

  4. Isolation valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_valve

    An isolation valve is a valve in a fluid handling system that stops the flow of process media to a given location, usually for maintenance or safety purposes. [1] They can also be used to provide flow logic (selecting one flow path versus another), and to connect external equipment to a system. [2]

  5. Two-stroke power valve system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_power_valve_system

    A stroke is the action of a piston travelling the full length of its cylinder.In a two-stroke engine, one of the two strokes combines primarily the intake stroke and the combustion stroke, while the other stroke primarily combines the compression stroke and the exhaust stroke, though technically since both ports are exposed during both the combustion and compression strokes, some reversion ...

    Paul Smith's Electric Light and Power and Railroad Company Complex is a national historic district located at Saranac Lake in Franklin County, New York.It contains two contributing buildings (a powerhouse and an office building) and two contributing structures (a dam and a bridge).

  7. Pneumatic circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_circuit

    The normally closed valves will not permit flow from the inlet port of the valve to the outlet port, normally the flow will be permitted only by changing the position of the valve. In general, valves are designated as 2/2 DCV, 3/2 DCV, 5/2 DCV, 5/3 DCV etc., in which the first number indicates number of ports and second number indicates number ...

  8. Piston valve (steam engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_valve_(steam_engine)

    Diagram showing lap and lead and their relation to valve travel When on the move, a steam locomotive requires steam to enter the cylinder at precise times relative to the piston's position. [ 3 ] This entails controlling the admission and exhaust of steam to and from the cylinders with a valve linked to the motion of the piston.

  9. Sioux Falls Light and Power Hydro Electric Plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sioux_Falls_Light_and...

    The Sioux Falls Light and Power Company was founded in 1905 by Eugene Coughran, with the intent of using hydroelectric power from the Big Sioux River and creating a dam on Lake Poinsett. Backed by local investors and media, it acquired the Queen Bee Mill (by that time already disused) and the Cascade Mill Company power plant. Construction on ...
