  2. Reverse-flow cylinder head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse-flow_cylinder_head

    This means that the generally inferior flow of a reverse-flow head is less of a disadvantage. In the early days of turbo charging a reverse-flow head allowed the compressor outlet of a turbocharger to blow directly into the inlet manifold with either a blow-through or draw-through carburettor and no intercooler. This allowed the use of shorter ...

  3. Backflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow

    Backflow is a term in plumbing for an unwanted flow of water in the reverse direction. [1] It can be a serious health risk for the contamination of potable water supplies with foul water . In the most obvious case, a toilet flush cistern and its water supply must be isolated from the toilet bowl.

  4. Flow conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_conditioning

    A pressure outlet boundary condition is used at exit of the settling chamber where pressure at outlet is set to zero for gauge pressure. It is always possible to predict the entire flow field by meshing whole fluid domain; however simulation for the prediction of entire flow field using symmetry boundary condition.

  5. Reduced pressure zone device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_pressure_zone_device

    A reduced pressure zone device (RPZD, RPZ, or RPZ valve) is a type of backflow prevention device used to protect water supplies from contamination. RPZDs may also be known as reduced pressure principle (RP), reduced pressure principle backflow prevention devices, [1] [2] reduced pressure zone assemblies (RPZA), [3] or reduced pressure principle ...

  6. Flow distribution in manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_distribution_in_manifolds

    [4] [5] [6] A generalized model of the flow distribution in channel networks of planar fuel cells. [6] Similar to Ohm's law, the pressure drop is assumed to be proportional to the flow rates. The relationship of pressure drop, flow rate and flow resistance is described as Q 2 = ∆P/R. f = 64/Re for laminar flow where Re is the Reynolds number.

  7. Gas networks simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_networks_simulation

    The pressures at the nodes and the flow rates in the pipes must satisfy the flow equations, and together with nodes' loads must fulfill the first and second Kirchhoff's laws. There are many methods of analyzing the mathematical models of gas networks but they can be divided into two types as the networks, the solvers for low pressure networks ...

  8. Reverse flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_flow

    Reverse flow may refer to: In engine technology a reverse flow cylinder head is one that locates the intake and exhaust ports on the same side of the engine. Reverse logistics, i.e. goods/waste flowing in the distribution network having consumers as point of origin; Reverse electron flow is a mechanism in microbial metabolism

  9. Power Jets WU - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Jets_WU

    A significantly different, symmetrical design was adopted for the second model. Ten spiral ducts connected the compressor outlet to a single, large, reverse-flow combustion chamber, the outlet of which discharged forward through the turbine before turning rearwards to exhaust through ten jet pipes.
