  2. Manifold (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_(fluid_mechanics)

    Types of manifolds in engineering include: Exhaust manifold An engine part that collects the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. Also known as headers. Hydraulic manifold A component used to regulate fluid flow in a hydraulic system, thus controlling the transfer of power between actuators and pumps Inlet manifold (or "intake ...

  3. Flow distribution in manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_distribution_in_manifolds

    The flow in manifolds is extensively encountered in many industrial processes when it is necessary to distribute a large fluid stream into several parallel streams, or to collect them into one discharge stream, such as in fuel cells, heat exchangers, radial flow reactors, hydronics, fire protection, and irrigation. Manifolds can usually be ...

  4. Schlenk line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlenk_line

    The Schlenk line (also vacuum gas manifold) is a commonly used chemistry apparatus developed by Wilhelm Schlenk. [1] It consists of a dual manifold with several ports. [ 2 ] One manifold is connected to a source of purified inert gas , while the other is connected to a vacuum pump .

  5. Mechanochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanochemistry

    Mechanochemistry (or mechanical chemistry) is the initiation of chemical reactions by mechanical phenomena. Mechanochemistry thus represents a fourth way to cause chemical reactions, complementing thermal reactions in fluids, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. Conventionally mechanochemistry focuses on the transformations of covalent bonds ...

  6. Manifold (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_(disambiguation)

    Hydraulic manifold, a component used to regulate fluid flow in a hydraulic system, thus controlling the transfer of power between actuators and pumps; Manifold (scuba), in a scuba set, connects two or more diving cylinders; Vacuum gas manifold, a piece of apparatus used in chemistry to manipulate gases

  7. Cylinder manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_manifold

    A cylinder manifold is system of pipes and valves for using a group of gas cylinders, or boil-off from vacuum insulated evaporators, to feed a single supply line. The advantages of the manifold system as compared with using a single cylinder are increased capacity and reliability, and also the possibility of a centralized supply for multiple users.

  8. Flamelet generated manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamelet_generated_manifold

    Flamelet-Generated Manifold (FGM) is a combustion chemistry reduction technique [dubious – discuss]. [1] The approach of FGM is based on the idea that the most important aspects of the internal structure of the flame front should be taken into account.

  9. Solid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_mechanics

    Solid mechanics is fundamental for civil, aerospace, nuclear, biomedical and mechanical engineering, for geology, and for many branches of physics and chemistry such as materials science. [1] It has specific applications in many other areas, such as understanding the anatomy of living beings, and the design of dental prostheses and surgical ...
