  2. Sleeve valve (water) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeve_valve_(water)

    Conventional control valves can typically control flow or pressure in the 20% to 80% range. Additionally, unlike conventional control valves the sleeve valve increases flow incrementally, i.e. 10% increase in stroke leads to a 10% increase in flow. Sleeve valves are adaptive to system or consumer requirements. The sleeve valve is designed to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

    Pilot valve: regulates flow or pressure to other valves; Petcock, a small shut-off valve; Pinch valve, "beach ball valve": simple, single-part two-port check valve made from soft plastic and molded onto inflatable units such as beach balls, air mattresses, water wings; can be inflated by pump or by mouth; Plunger valve: To regulate flow while ...

  4. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    Choked flow is a limiting condition where the mass flow cannot increase with a further decrease in the downstream pressure environment for a fixed upstream pressure and temperature. For homogeneous fluids, the physical point at which the choking occurs for adiabatic conditions is when the exit plane velocity is at sonic conditions; i.e., at a ...

  6. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure , temperature , and liquid level.

  7. Steam turbine governing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine_governing

    Thus the steam flow rates can be controlled. When the load on the turbine increases the deflections in the lever are such that the lower port is opened for oil entry and upper port for oil exit. The relay piston moves upwards and the throttle valve spindle ascend upwards opening the valve. The variation of the steam consumption rate ṁ (kg/h ...

  8. Throttle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle

    The throttle on a gasoline engine is typically a butterfly valve. In a fuel-injected engine, the throttle valve is placed on the entrance of the intake manifold, or housed in the throttle body. In a carbureted engine, it is found in the carburetor. When a throttle is wide open, the intake manifold is usually close to ambient atmospheric pressure.

  9. Butterfly valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve

    A rod passes through the disc to an actuator on the outside of the valve. Rotating the actuator turns the disc either parallel or perpendicular to the flow. Unlike a ball valve, the disc is always present within the flow, so it induces a pressure drop, even when open. A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter-turn valves. In ...
