  2. Propelling nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propelling_nozzle

    At higher flight speeds, the ram rise in the intake chokes the throat and causes the nozzle's area to dictate the fan match; the nozzle, being smaller than the exit, causes the throat to push the fan working line slightly toward surge. This is not a problem, however, for a fan's surge margin is much greater at high flight speeds.

  3. Valve guide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_guide

    In the 1980s, many U.S. production engine remanufacturers began reaming valve guides, rather than replacing them, as part of their remanufacturing process. They found that by reaming all the valve guides in a head to one standard size (typically 0.008 in. diametrically oversized), and installing remanufactured engine valves having stems that are also oversized, a typical engine head can be ...

  4. Inlet manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inlet_manifold

    An inlet manifold or intake manifold (in American English) is the part of an internal combustion engine that supplies the fuel/air mixture to the cylinders. [1] The word manifold comes from the Old English word manigfeald (from the Anglo-Saxon manig [many] and feald [repeatedly]) and refers to the multiplying of one (pipe) into many. [2]

  5. Intake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intake

    Intake refers to an opening, or area, together with its defining edge profile which has an associated entry loss, that captures pipe flow from a reservoir or storage tank. [1] Intake refers to the capture area definition and attached ducting to an aircraft gas turbine engine [ 2 ] or ramjet engine and, as such, an intake is followed by a ...

  7. Pipe-in-pipe system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe-in-pipe_system

    A pipe-in-pipe system [1] is a form of plumbing where all water pipes are running inside another pipe. Its purpose is to ensure that any leaks in the innermost pipe will not leak into the building structure and can be detected, as well as make for easier change of any internal pipes with leakage without opening the walls.

  8. Ram-air intake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram-air_intake

    Ram-air intake on a Kawasaki ZX-12R. A ram-air intake is any intake design which uses the dynamic air pressure created by vehicle motion, or ram pressure, to increase the static air pressure inside of the intake manifold on an internal combustion engine, thus allowing a greater massflow through the engine and hence increasing engine power.

  9. Conductor pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductor_pipe

    A conductor Pipe is a large diameter pipe that is set into the ground to provide the initial stable structural foundation for a borehole or oil well. [1] The Conductor pipe is the first string of casing and is the largest diameter casing to be installed in a well.
