  2. Ring circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_circuit

    In electricity supply design, a ring circuit is an electrical wiring technique in which sockets and the distribution point are connected in a ring. It is contrasted with the usual radial circuit, in which sockets and the distribution point are connected in a line with the distribution point at one end. Ring circuits are also known as ring final ...

  3. Pressure washing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_washing

    Pressure washing or power washing is the use of high-pressure water spray to remove loose paint, mold, grime, dust, mud, and dirt from surfaces and objects such as buildings, vehicles and concrete surfaces. The volume of a mechanical pressure washer is expressed in gallons or liters per minute, [1] often designed into the pump and not variable.

  4. Ring main unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_main_unit

    v. t. e. In an electrical power distribution system, a ring main unit (RMU) is a factory assembled, metal enclosed set of switchgear used at the load connection points of a ring-type distribution network. It includes in one unit two switches that can connect the load to either or both main conductors, and a fusible switch or circuit breaker and ...

  5. Liquid-ring pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-ring_pump

    Liquid-ring pumps are typically used as vacuum pumps, but can also be used as gas compressors. The function of a liquid-ring pump is similar to a rotary vane pump, with the difference being that the vanes are a rigid part of the rotor and churn a rotating ring of liquid to form the compression-chamber seal. They are an inherently low-friction ...

  6. Thames Water Ring Main - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_Water_Ring_Main

    The ring main is located well below most water mains, at a depth of 10 to 65 m (33 to 213 ft) below ground level and approximately 10 to 30 m (33 to 98 ft) below sea level. The tunnel is mostly of 2.54 m (100 in) internal diameter, except for the section between Ashford Common and Kew, where it is 2.91 m (115 in). [ 4 ]

  7. Walker circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walker_circulation

    The Walker circulation, also known as the Walker cell, is a conceptual model of the air flow in the tropics in the lower atmosphere (troposphere). According to this model, parcels of air follow a closed circulation in the zonal and vertical directions. This circulation, which is roughly consistent with observations, is caused by differences in ...

  8. Pressure–volume diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure–volume_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. In the figure, the processes 1-2-3 produce a work output, but processes from 3-4-1 require a smaller energy input to return to the starting position ...

  9. Parts washer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts_washer

    A parts washer is a piece of equipment used to remove contaminants or debris, such as dirt, grime, carbon, oil, grease, metal chips, cutting fluids, mold release agents, ink, paint, and corrosion from workpieces. Parts washers are used in new manufacturing and remanufacturing processes; they are designed to clean, degrease and dry bulk loads of ...
