  2. Hydraulics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulics

    Hydraulics (from Ancient Greek ὕδωρ (húdōr) ' water ' and αὐλός (aulós) ' pipe ') [2] is a technology and applied science using engineering, chemistry, and other sciences involving the mechanical properties and use of liquids.

  3. Heron's fountain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's_fountain

    Pressure is transmitted by the air through pipe P2 into the water supply B, and pushes the water up into pipe P3. Water moving up pipe P3 replaces water falling from A into C, closing the loop. These principles explain the construction: The air in C must not escape through pipe P1, which is why P1 must go to the bottom, so that the water seals it.

  4. Communicating vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_vessels

    Since the days of ancient Rome, the concept of communicating vessels has been used for indoor plumbing, via aquifers and lead pipes. Water will reach the same level in all parts of the system, which acts as communicating vessels, regardless of what the lowest point is of the pipes – although in practical terms the lowest point of the system depends on the ability of the plumbing to withstand ...

  5. Water hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

    Reduce the pressure of the water supply to the building by fitting a regulator. Lower fluid velocities. To keep water hammer low, pipe-sizing charts for some applications recommend flow velocity at or below 1.5 m/s (4.9 ft/s). Fit slowly closing valves. Toilet fill valves are available in a quiet fill type that closes quietly.

  6. Hydrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatics

    The height of this pipe is the same as the line carved into the interior of the cup. The cup may be filled to the line without any fluid passing into the pipe in the center of the cup. However, when the amount of fluid exceeds this fill line, fluid will overflow into the pipe in the center of the cup.

  7. Flow distribution in manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_distribution_in_manifolds

    Thus the flow rate of the straight pipe is greater than that of the vertical one. Furthermore, because the lower energy fluid in the boundary layer branches through the channels the higher energy fluid in the pipe centre remains in the pipe as shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 4. Velocity profile along a manifold

  8. Friction loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_loss

    r = radius of the pipe (for a pipe of circular section, the internal radius of the pipe). v = mean velocity of fluid flowing through the pipe. A = cross sectional area of the pipe. In long pipes, the loss in pressure (assuming the pipe is level) is proportional to the length of pipe involved.

  9. Pressure (reggae musician) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_(reggae_musician)

    Delyno Brown (born August 5, 1981), [citation needed] [1] better known as Pressure or Pressure Busspipe, is a reggae musician from Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. [2] He gained his early experience working on the Star Lion sound system in the late 1990s. [3] His debut album, The Pressure Is On, was produced by Dean Pond and released in 2005.
