  2. Pressure–volume diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure–volume_diagram

    The path between each state consists of some process (A through D) which alters the pressure or volume of the system (or both). Generalized PV diagram. A key feature of the diagram is that the amount of energy expended or received by the system as work can be measured because the net work is represented by the area enclosed by the four lines ...

  3. Process variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_variable

    In control theory, a process variable (PV; also process value or process parameter) is the current measured value of a particular part of a process which is being monitored or controlled. An example of this would be the temperature of a furnace.

  4. Thermodynamic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_process

    The PV diagram is a particularly useful visualization of a quasi-static process, because the area under the curve of a process is the amount of work done by the system during that process. Thus work is considered to be a process variable , as its exact value depends on the particular path taken between the start and end points of the process.

  5. Setpoint (control system) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setpoint_(control_system)

    In cybernetics and control theory, a setpoint (SP; [1] also set point) is the desired or target value for an essential variable, or process value (PV) of a control system, [2] which may differ from the actual measured value of the variable.

  6. V-model (software development) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-Model_(software_development)

    The V-Model reflects a project management view of software development and fits the needs of project managers, accountants and lawyers rather than software developers or users. Although it is easily understood by novices, that early understanding is useful only if the novice goes on to acquire a deeper understanding of the development process ...

  7. SMS (hydrology software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_(hydrology_software)

    The development of SMS was funded primarily by The United States Army Corps of Engineers and is still known as the Department of Defense Surface-water Modeling System or DoD SMS. It was later ported to Windows platforms in the mid 1990s and support for HP-UX , IRIX , OSF/1 , and Solaris platforms was discontinued.

    Jewish Americans and Israeli Americans experience "serious discrimination" when applying for jobs, a shocking study released by the Anti-Defamation League Wednesday claims.

  9. Piping and instrumentation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_instrumentation...

    P&IDs are originally drawn up at the design stage from a combination of process flow sheet data, the mechanical process equipment design, and the instrumentation engineering design. During the design stage, the diagram also provides the basis for the development of system control schemes, allowing for further safety and operational ...
