Active clearance control (ACC) is a method used in large aircraft gas turbines to improve fuel efficiency during cruise. This is achieved by setting the turbine tip clearance at more than one operating point and contrasts with passive clearance control which sets it for only one condition and is explained below.
Toshiba has had a range of products and services, including air conditioners, [118] consumer electronics (including televisions and DVD and Blu-ray players), [119] control systems (including air-traffic control systems, railway systems, security systems and traffic control systems), [120] electronic point of sale equipment, [121] elevators and ...
A wastegate is a valve that controls the flow of exhaust gases to the turbine wheel in a turbocharged engine system. [1]Diversion of exhaust gases regulates the turbine speed, which in turn regulates the rotating speed of the compressor.
Bleed air in aerospace engineering is compressed air taken from the compressor stage of a gas turbine, upstream of its fuel-burning sections.Automatic air supply and cabin pressure controller (ASCPC) valves bleed air from low or high stage engine compressor sections; low stage air is used during high power setting operation, and high stage air is used during descent and other low power setting ...
Restored CCKW 353 Cargo truck with open cab, machine gun ring, and front-mounted winch. The GMC CCKW, also known as "Jimmy", or the G-508 by its Ordnance Supply Catalog number, [a] was a highly successful series of off-road capable, 2 1 ⁄ 2-ton, 6×6 trucks, built in large numbers to a standardized design (from 1941 to 1945) for the U.S. Army, that saw heavy service, predominantly as cargo ...
The rise in air and temperature ratio means compression does not follow a simple pressure to volume ratio. This is less efficient, but quick. Adiabatic compression or expansion more closely model real life when a compressor has good insulation, a large gas volume, or a short time scale (i.e., a high power level).

A motor control center (MCC) is an assembly to control some or all electric motors in a central location. It consists of multiple enclosed sections having a common power bus and with each section containing a combination starter, which in turn consists of motor starter , fuses or circuit breaker , and power disconnect .
