Compressor characteristic is a mathematical curve that shows the behaviour of a fluid going through a dynamic compressor.It shows changes in fluid pressure, temperature, entropy, flow rate etc.) with the compressor operating at different speeds.
A link between a gas turbine compressor and its engine can be shown with lines of constant engine temperature ratio, ie the effect of fuelling/increased turbine temperature which raises the running line as the temperature ratio increases. One manifestation of different behaviour appears in the choke region on the right-hand side of a map.
The obstacles that originate from the human habitat can be converted by troops into constructed obstacles by either performing additional construction, or executing demolitions to obstruct movement over the transport network, to create a choke point, or to deny traversing of an area to the enemy. The natural obstacles can be used defensively by ...

It is located in the competition area; marked both on an orienteering map and in the terrain, and described on a control description sheet. The control point must be identifiable on the map and ...
