  2. Aortic valve area calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_area_calculation

    In cardiology, aortic valve area calculation is an indirect method of determining the area of the aortic valve of the heart. The calculated aortic valve orifice area is currently one of the measures for evaluating the severity of aortic stenosis. A valve area of less than 1.0 cm 2 is considered to be severe aortic stenosis. [1] [2]

  3. Pilot-operated relief valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot-operated_relief_valve

    At set pressure the valve snaps to full lift. This can be quite violent on large pipes with significant pressure. The pressure has to drop below the set pressure in order for the piston to reseat (see blowdown in relief valve article). Modulating The pilot is designed to open gradually, so that less of the system fluid is lost during each ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    The metric equivalent flow factor (K v) is calculated using metric units: =, where [3]. K v is the flow factor (expressed in m 3 /h), Q is the flowrate (expressed in m 3 /h), SG is the specific gravity of the fluid (for water = 1),

    A relief valve DN25 on cooling water pipe from heat exchanger Schematic diagram of a conventional spring-loaded pressure relief valve. A relief valve or pressure relief valve (PRV) is a type of safety valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system; excessive pressure might otherwise build up and create a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, explosion, or fire.

    An oxygen safety relief valve DN250-safety valves. A safety valve is a valve that acts as a fail-safe.An example of safety valve is a pressure relief valve (PRV), which automatically releases a substance from a boiler, pressure vessel, or other system, when the pressure or temperature exceeds preset limits.

    With regards to the modalities of heat and cold, each works to modify the blood flow to the muscles and joints in the area applied, says Rahul Shah, M.D., board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon ...

  8. Discharge coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_coefficient

    In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient (also known as coefficient of discharge or efflux coefficient) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the ideal discharge, [1] i.e., the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge end of the nozzle to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same exit pressures.

    At times, it seems the trouble that cats get into is entirely accidental. I can forgive my cat’s near-daily scattering of litter outside their box due to super-enthusiastic waste-burial techniques.
