  2. Axial piston pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_piston_pump

    In reality most systems use pressure as a control for this type of pump. The operating pressure reaches, say, 200 bar (20 MPa or 2900 psi) and the swash plate is driven towards zero angle (piston stroke nearly zero) and with the inherent leaks in the system allows the pump to stabilize at the delivery volume that maintains the set pressure.

  4. Beatty Brothers Limited - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatty_Brothers_Limited

    Not long after, Beatty Brothers undertook a major expansion and pattern of acquisitions, raising capital from outside investors in the process. This began with the acquisition of Wortman and Ward, a London-based manufacturer of water pumps and washing machines, for $200,000 in 1912. This would mark the entry of Beatty Brothers into the growing ...

  5. Vacuum ejector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_Ejector

    The strength of the vacuum produced depends on the velocity and shape of the fluid jet and the shape of the constriction and mixing sections, but if a liquid is used as the working fluid, the strength of the vacuum produced is limited by the vapor pressure of the liquid (for water, 3.2 kPa or 0.46 psi or 32 mbar at 25 °C or 77 °F). If a gas ...

  6. Exergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exergy

    Exergy, often referred to as "available energy" or "useful work potential", is a fundamental concept in the field of thermodynamics and engineering.It plays a crucial role in understanding and quantifying the quality of energy within a system and its potential to perform useful work.

  7. French pressure cell press - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_pressure_cell_press

    The French pressure cell press, or French press, is an apparatus used in biological experimentation to disrupt the plasma membrane of cells by passing them through a narrow valve under high pressure. [1] The French press can also be used for disintegration of chloroplasts, homogenates of animal tissue, and other biological particles.

  8. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Reactive powder concrete, also known as ultra-high-performance concrete, can be even stronger, with strengths of up to 800 MPa (116,000 PSI). [4] These are made by eliminating large aggregate completely, carefully controlling the size of the fine aggregates to ensure the best possible packing, and incorporating steel fibers (sometimes produced ...

  9. Sick cell syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sick_cell_syndrome

    Sick cell syndrome is a medical condition characterised by reduced functioning of the cellular Na+/K+ pump, [1] which is responsible for maintaining the internal ion homeostasis. The clinical result is a rise in blood K+ level and drop of blood Na+ levels
