  2. Turndown ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turndown_ratio

    A thermal mass flow meter has a turndown ratio of 1000:1. An orifice plate meter has a practical turndown ratio of 3:1. A turbine meter has a turndown ratio of 10:1. Rotary positive displacement meters have a turndown ratio of between 10:1 and 80:1, depending on the manufacturer and the application.

  3. Annual fuel utilization efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_fuel_utilization...

    The annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE; pronounced 'A'-'Few' or 'A'-'F'-'U'-'E') is a thermal efficiency measure of space-heating furnaces and boilers.The AFUE differs from the true 'thermal efficiency' in that it is not a steady-state, peak measure of conversion efficiency, but instead attempts to represent the actual, season-long, average efficiency of that piece of equipment ...

  4. Gas burner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_burner

    Propane burner with a Bunsen flame Oxy-Acetylene for cutting through steel rails Flame of a gas and oil, in a dual burner. A gas burner is a device that produces a non-controlled flame by mixing a fuel gas such as acetylene, natural gas, or propane with an oxidizer such as the ambient air or supplied oxygen, and allowing for ignition and ...

  5. Brake-specific fuel consumption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-specific_fuel...

    The following table takes values as an example for the specific fuel consumption of several types of engines. For specific engines values can and often do differ from the table values shown below. Energy efficiency is based on a lower heating value of 42.7 MJ/kg (84.3 g/(kW⋅h)) for diesel fuel and jet fuel , 43.9 MJ/kg (82 g/(kW⋅h)) for ...

  6. Compressor characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_characteristic

    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.

  7. NTU method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTU_Method

    Here, represents the mass ratio of gas 'x' (meaning mass of gas 'x' relative to the mass of all other non-'x' gas mass) and is the partial pressure of gas 'x'. Using the ideal gas formulation for the mass ratio gives the following definition for the specific mass capacity:

  8. Inspirator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspirator

    Only the pressure of the fuel gas is used to draw in and mix the air. They are the most simple and common type of mixing device for gas stoves and furnaces. Burners using an inspirator are considered to be naturally aspirated. In an inspirator there are two tubes. The first is a fuel gas pipe with an orifice at the end where the gas comes out ...

  9. Lean-burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean-burn

    The heart of the Mitsubishi's MVV system is the linear air–fuel ratio exhaust gas oxygen sensor. Compared with standard oxygen sensors, which essentially are on-off switches set to a single air/fuel ratio, the lean oxygen sensor is more of a measurement device covering the air/fuel ratio range from about 15:1 to 26:1.
