  2. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    In fluid dynamics, dynamic pressure (denoted by q or Q and sometimes called velocity pressure) is the quantity defined by: [1] = where (in SI units): q is the dynamic pressure in pascals (i.e., N/m 2, ρ (Greek letter rho) is the fluid mass density (e.g. in kg/m 3), and; u is the flow speed in m/s.

  3. Pitometer log - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitometer_log

    p Total is the total fluid pressure. p Static is the static pressure, which strictly depends on depth. p Dynamic is the fluid pressure caused by fluid motion. Since water is an incompressible fluid, the dynamic pressure component of the total pressure can be expressed in terms of the water density and the water velocity as is shown in Equation 2.

  4. Dashpot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

    Simplified diagram of linear dashpot. A dashpot, also known as a damper [citation needed], is a mechanical device that resists motion via viscous friction. [1] The resulting force is proportional to the velocity, but acts in the opposite direction, [2] slowing the motion and absorbing energy.

  5. Piping and instrumentation diagram - Wikipedia

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

    Piping and instrumentation diagram of pump with storage tank. Symbols according to EN ISO 10628 and EN 62424. A more complex example of a P&ID. A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is defined as follows: A diagram which shows the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control the process.

  6. Dashboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashboard

    Dashboard instruments displaying various car and engine conditions. Where the dashboard originally included an array of simple controls (e.g., the steering wheel) and instrumentation to show speed, fuel level and oil pressure, the modern dashboard may accommodate a broad array of gauges, and controls as well as information, climate control and entertainment systems.

  7. Compounding of steam turbines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compounding_of_steam_turbines

    Fig-4: Velocity Diagram of Pressure compounded Impulse Turbine. The velocity diagram shown in figure 4 gives detail about the various components of steam velocity and Blade velocity. where, symbols have the same meaning as given above. An important point to note from the above velocity diagram is that the fluid exit angle (δ) is 90⁰.

  8. Variometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer

    In its simplest electronic form, the instrument consists of an air bottle connected to the external atmosphere through a sensitive air flow meter. As the aircraft changes altitude, the atmospheric pressure outside the aircraft changes and air flows into or out of the air bottle to equalise the pressure inside the bottle and outside the aircraft.

  9. Moody chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_chart

    In engineering, the Moody chart or Moody diagram (also Stanton diagram) is a graph in non-dimensional form that relates the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f D, Reynolds number Re, and surface roughness for fully developed flow in a circular pipe. It can be used to predict pressure drop or flow rate down such a pipe.
