  2. Ventilation/perfusion ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation/perfusion_ratio

    In respiratory physiology, the ventilation/perfusion ratio (V/Q ratio) is a ratio used to assess the efficiency and adequacy of the ventilation-perfusion coupling and thus the matching of two variables: The V/Q ratio can therefore be defined as the ratio of the amount of air reaching the alveoli per minute to the amount of blood reaching the ...

  3. Ventilation–perfusion coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation–perfusion...

    The V/Q ratio in the apex is roughly 3.3 and 0.63 in the base, which indicates that perfusion is greater than ventilation towards the base, and the ventilation rate is greater than perfusion towards the apex. [3] Towards the base of the lungs, the fluid volume in the pleural cavity increases due to gravity, resulting in greater intrapleural ...

    Mazda claimed to have solved the apex seal problem, operating test engines at high speed for 300 hours without failure. [11] After years of development, Mazda's first rotary engine car was the 1967 Cosmo 110S. The company followed with several Wankel ("rotary" in the company's terminology) vehicles, including a bus and a pickup truck. Customers ...

  5. Hydraulic tappet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_tappet

    A hydraulic tappet, also known as a hydraulic valve lifter or hydraulic lash adjuster, is a device for maintaining zero valve clearance in an internal combustion engine. Conventional solid valve lifters require regular adjusting to maintain a small clearance between the valve and its rocker or cam follower. This space prevents the parts from ...

  6. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    Choked flow is a compressible flow effect. The parameter that becomes "choked" or "limited" is the fluid velocity. Choked flow is a fluid dynamic condition associated with the Venturi effect. When a flowing fluid at a given pressure and temperature passes through a constriction (such as the throat of a convergent-divergent nozzle or a valve in ...
