  2. Tesla valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_valve

    The flow resistance is defined, analogously to Ohm's law for electrical resistance, [2] as the ratio of applied pressure drop and resulting flow rate: R = Δ p Q {\displaystyle R={\frac {\Delta p}{Q}}} where Δ p {\displaystyle \Delta p} is the applied pressure difference between two ends of the conduit, and Q {\displaystyle Q} the flow rate.

  3. Boundary conditions in fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    Showing outlet flow velocity in a pipe. In outlet boundary conditions, the distribution of all flow variables needs to be specified, mainly flow velocity. This can be thought as a conjunction to inlet boundary condition. This type of boundary conditions is common and specified mostly where outlet velocity is known. [1]

  4. Flow distribution in manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_distribution_in_manifolds

    [4] [5] [6] A generalized model of the flow distribution in channel networks of planar fuel cells. [6] Similar to Ohm's law, the pressure drop is assumed to be proportional to the flow rates. The relationship of pressure drop, flow rate and flow resistance is described as Q 2 = ∆P/R. f = 64/Re for laminar flow where Re is the Reynolds number.

  5. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    With C v = 1.0 and 200 psia inlet pressure, the flow is 100 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm). The flow is proportional to the absolute inlet pressure, so the flow in scfm would equal the C v flow coefficient if the inlet pressure were reduced to 2 psia and the outlet were connected to a vacuum with less than 1 psi absolute pressure (1.0 ...

  6. Eddy (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_(fluid_dynamics)

    This can occur around cylinders and spheres, for any fluid, cylinder size and fluid speed, provided that the flow has a Reynolds number in the range ~40 to ~1000. [1] In fluid dynamics, an eddy is the swirling of a fluid and the reverse current created when the fluid is in a turbulent flow regime. [2]

  7. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    As the pressure is reduced still further, a pressure is reached that result in M = 1 at the throat with subsonic flow throughout the remainder of the nozzle. There is another receiver pressure substantially below that of curve C that also results in isentropic flow throughout the nozzle, represented by curve D; after the throat the flow is ...

  8. Reverse-flow cylinder head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse-flow_cylinder_head

    This means that the generally inferior flow of a reverse-flow head is less of a disadvantage. In the early days of turbo charging a reverse-flow head allowed the compressor outlet of a turbocharger to blow directly into the inlet manifold with either a blow-through or draw-through carburettor and no intercooler. This allowed the use of shorter ...

  9. 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.
