  2. Losses in steam turbines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Losses_in_steam_turbines

    Frictional resistance is offered during the flow of steam through nozzles on moving and stationary blades. In most turbines, the blade wheels rotate in a space full of steam. The viscous friction at the wheel surface causes admission losses as steam passes from nozzle to wheel. The effect of partial admission creates eddies in the blade channels.

  3. Stream processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_processing

    The dependencies between kernel functions and data is known through the programming model which enables the compiler to perform flow analysis and optimally pack the SRFs. Commonly, this cache and DMA management can take up the majority of a project's schedule, something the stream processor (or at least Imagine) totally automates.

  4. Stream (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_(computing)

    In object-oriented programming, input streams are generally implemented as iterators. In the Scheme language and some others, a stream is a lazily evaluated or delayed sequence of data elements. A stream can be used similarly to a list, but later elements are only calculated when needed. Streams can therefore represent infinite sequences and ...

  5. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    In this state, lowering the back pressure increases the flow speed everywhere in the nozzle. [13] When the back pressure, p b, is lowered enough, the flow speed is Mach 1 at the throat, as in figure 1b. The flow pattern is exactly the same as in subsonic flow, except that the flow speed at the throat has just reached Mach 1. Flow through the ...

  6. Flow-based programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-based_programming

    Flow-based programming defines applications using the metaphor of a "data factory". It views an application not as a single, sequential process, which starts at a point in time, and then does one thing at a time until it is finished, but as a network of asynchronous processes communicating by means of streams of structured data chunks, called "information packets" (IPs).

  7. Axial turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_turbine

    Figure shows the variation of pressure and velocity of steam through the two pressure stages of an impulse turbine. The nozzle blades in each stage receive flow in the axial direction. Some designers employ pressure stages up to the last stage. This gives a turbine of shorter length as compared to the reaction type, with a penalty on efficiency.

  8. Fluidics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidics

    A module with two input streams at the top, an AND output bucket in the middle, and an XOR output stream at the bottom.. Fluidics, or fluidic logic, is the use of a fluid to perform analog or digital operations similar to those performed with electronics.

  9. Compounding of steam turbines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_turbine

    It is done by the fixed blades which act as nozzles. The steam expands equally in all rows of fixed blade. The steam coming from the boiler is fed to the first set of fixed blades i.e. the nozzle ring. The steam is partially expanded in the nozzle ring. Hence, there is a partial decrease in pressure of the incoming steam.
