  2. Air compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_compressor

    Air compressor supplies air into a nail gun.. An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It is an application of a gas compressor and a pneumatic device that converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses.

  3. Picul - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picul

    A picul / ˈ p ɪ k əl /, [1] dan [2] or tam, [3] is a traditional Asian unit of weight, defined as "as much as a man can carry on a shoulder-pole". [1] Historically, it was defined as equivalent to 100 or 120 catties, depending on time and region.

  4. List of conversion factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conversion_factors

    Time of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom at 0 K [8] (but other seconds are sometimes used in astronomy). Also that time it takes for light to travel a distance of 299 792 458 metres. (SI base unit) shake: ≡ 10 −8 s = 10 ns ...

  5. Gas turbine engine compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine_engine_compressors

    In axial flow compressor, the air flows from stage to stage. The role of the rotor blades is to accelerate the incoming air for increasing the kinetic energy of the air. Then the fluid is decelerated across the stators and as a consequence the kinetic energy is converted into the pressure rise by the stators.

  6. Indicator diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_diagram

    An indicator chart records the pressure in the cylinder versus the volume swept by the piston, throughout the two or four strokes of the piston which constitute the engine, or compressor, cycle. The indicator diagram is used to calculate the work done and the power produced in an engine cylinder [2] or used in a compressor cylinder.

  7. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    These effects are caused by the sluggish response of the spool (i.e. inertia effects) to rapid changes in engine fuel flow. Compressor surge is a particular problem during slam-accelerations and can be overcome by suitable adjustments to the fueling schedule and/or use of blow-off (bleeding air off the compressor, for handling purposes).

  8. Compressibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility

    In thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, the compressibility (also known as the coefficient of compressibility [1] or, if the temperature is held constant, the isothermal compressibility [2]) is a measure of the instantaneous relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure (or mean stress) change.

  9. Compressed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

    After compressed air cools, then the vaporized water turns to liquefied water. [14] [15] Cooling the air as it leaves the compressor will take most of the moisture out before it gets into the piping. Aftercooler, storage tanks, etc. can help the compressed air cool to 104 °F; two-thirds of the water then turns to liquid. [16]
