  2. Pressure–volume diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure–volume_diagram

    The path between each state consists of some process (A through D) which alters the pressure or volume of the system (or both). Generalized PV diagram. A key feature of the diagram is that the amount of energy expended or received by the system as work can be measured because the net work is represented by the area enclosed by the four lines ...

  3. Process variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_variable

    Block diagram of a negative feedback control system used to maintain PV = SP Measurement of process variables is essential in control systems to controlling a process. The value of the process variable is continuously monitored so that control may be exerted.

  4. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    The system is called reverse acting if it is necessary to apply negative corrective action. For instance, if the valve in the flow loop was 100–0% valve opening for 0–100% control output – meaning that the controller action has to be reversed. Some process control schemes and final control elements require this reverse action.

  5. Saturation dome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_Dome

    A saturation dome uses the projection of a P–v–T diagram (pressure, specific volume, and temperature) onto the P–v plane. The points that create the left-hand side of the dome represent the saturated liquid states, while the points on the right-hand side represent the saturated vapor states (commonly referred to as the “dry” region).

  6. Control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_system

    A control system manages, commands, directs, or regulates the behavior of other devices or systems using control loops. It can range from a single home heating controller using a thermostat controlling a domestic boiler to large industrial control systems which are used for controlling processes or machines.

  7. Engineering drawing abbreviations and symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing...

    Definition of the part via a 3D CAD model rather than via a 2D engineering drawing. Drawings may be printed (plotted) from the model for reference use, but the model remains the governing legal instrument. MBP: measurement between pins: threads, splines, gears (internal, female) (synonymous with MBW) (see also MOP, MOW) MBW: measurement between ...

    WaterNAM, Water Network Analysis Model, Developed by Streamstech Inc. [8] Giswater, open source software developed by the Giswater Association [9] GISpipe, software which is easily used for the analysis, design, and operation of water distribution networks Integrated with GIS system developed by Jinbosoft [10]

  9. GMS (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMS_(software)

    A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics in August 2000 stated that "GMS provides an interface to the groundwater flow model, MODFLOW, and the contaminant transport model, MT3D. MODFLOW is a three-dimensional, cell-centered, finite-difference, saturated-flow model capable of both steady-state and transient analyses.
