  2. Venous return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_return

    Venous return curves showing the normal curve when the mean systemic filling pressure (Psf) is 7 mm Hg and the effect of altering the Psf to 3.5, 7, or 14 mm Hg. Hemodynamically, venous return (VR) to the heart from the venous vascular beds is determined by a pressure gradient (venous pressure - right atrial pressure) and venous resistance (RV ...

  3. Compression (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_(physics)

    The compressive forces may also be applied in multiple directions; for example inwards along the edges of a plate or all over the side surface of a cylinder, so as to reduce its area (biaxial compression), or inwards over the entire surface of a body, so as to reduce its volume.

  4. Pressure reference system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_Reference_System

    The measurement system uses behavior of the International Standard Atmosphere where atmospheric pressure descends with increasing altitude and two pairs of measurement units. Each pair measures pressure at two different positions that are mechanically connected with known distance between units, e.g. the units are mounted at the tips of the wing.

  5. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    The SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (N·m −2 or kg·m −1 ·s −2). This special name for the unit was added in 1971; before that, pressure in SI was expressed in units such as N·m −2. When indicated, the zero reference is stated in parentheses following the unit, for example 101 kPa (abs).

  6. Pressure coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_coefficient

    In fluid dynamics, the pressure coefficient is a dimensionless number which describes the relative pressures throughout a flow field. The pressure coefficient is used in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. Every point in a fluid flow field has its own unique pressure coefficient, C p.

  7. Young–Laplace equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young–Laplace_equation

    In physics, the Young–Laplace equation (/ l ə ˈ p l ɑː s /) is an algebraic equation that describes the capillary pressure difference sustained across the interface between two static fluids, such as water and air, due to the phenomenon of surface tension or wall tension, although use of the latter is only applicable if assuming that the wall is very thin.

  8. General Motors (GM) Q4 2024 Earnings Call Transcript - AOL

    www.aol.com/finance/general-motors-gm-q4-2024...

    In 2024, we wholesaled 189,000 EVs and delivered more than 146,000 units. Recall at the end of the third quarter, we had around 100 days of EV dealer inventory so that customers would have the ...

  9. Internal pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_pressure

    Internal pressure can be expressed in terms of temperature, pressure and their mutual dependence: = This equation is one of the simplest thermodynamic equations.More precisely, it is a thermodynamic property relation, since it holds true for any system and connects the equation of state to one or more thermodynamic energy properties.
