  2. Fuse (hydraulic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(hydraulic)

    There are two types of hydraulic fuses. The first one acts like a pressure relief valve, venting in case of a pressure surge. The second is more or less like a check valve. The only difference is a check valve is in place to prevent upstream fluid from coming back and venting out.

    A relief valve DN25 on cooling water pipe from heat exchanger Schematic diagram of a conventional spring-loaded pressure relief valve. A relief valve or pressure relief valve (PRV) is a type of safety valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system; excessive pressure might otherwise build up and create a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, explosion, or fire.

    Hospitals in England have been "hit by a surge" of norovirus - the winter vomiting bug - adding to mounting pressure on the NHS, health officials say. Data shows there were 784 patients a day in ...

  5. Starting fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starting_fluid

    Starting fluid is not recommended for regular use with some two-stroke engines because it does not possess lubricating qualities by itself. Lubrication for two-stroke engines is achieved using oil that is either mixed into the fuel by the user or injected automatically into the fuel supply; engines requiring premixed fuel that are run solely on starting fluid do not receive an adequate supply ...

  6. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    A typical nominal regulated gauge pressure from a medical oxygen regulator is 3.4 bars (50 psi), for an absolute pressure of approximately 4.4 bar and a pressure ratio of about 4.4 without back pressure, so they will have choked flow in the metering orifices for a downstream (outlet) pressure of up to about 2.3 bar absolute.

  7. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    The rate does not depend on the downstream pressure at all. All other terms are constants that depend only on the composition of the material in the flow. Although the gas velocity reaches a maximum and becomes choked, the mass flow rate is not choked. The mass flow rate can still be increased if the upstream pressure is increased as this ...

  8. Air-start system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-start_system

    Air impingement starting was not used for US military aircraft after the F-4B, A-5A [6] and F-5 as the pneumatic energy requirement was several times greater than when using an air turbine starter. The gas turbine compressor required to start a J79 with impingement starting was sufficient to start two J79 engines simultaneously in a B-58 when ...
