  2. Gas networks simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_networks_simulation

    Gas networks simulation or gas pipeline simulation is a process of defining the mathematical model of gas transmission and gas distribution systems, which are usually composed of highly integrated pipe networks operating over a wide range of pressures. Simulation allows to predict the behaviour of gas network systems under different conditions.

    David Taylor Model Basin. /  38.97417°N 77.18944°W  / 38.97417; -77.18944. The David Taylor Model Basin ( DTMB) is one of the largest ship model basins —test facilities for the development of ship design—in the world. DTMB is a field activity of the Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center .

  4. RS-25 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-25

    The RS-25 engine consists of pumps, valves, and other components working in concert to produce thrust. Fuel (liquid hydrogen) and oxidizer (liquid oxygen) from the Space Shuttle's external tank entered the orbiter at the umbilical disconnect valves and from there flowed through the orbiter's main propulsion system (MPS) feed lines; whereas in the Space Launch System (SLS), fuel and oxidizer ...

  5. Self-sealing fuel tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sealing_fuel_tank

    A self-sealing fuel tank ( SSFT) is a type of fuel tank, typically used in aircraft fuel tanks or fuel bladders, that prevents them from leaking fuel and igniting after being damaged. Typical self-sealing tanks have layers of rubber and reinforcing fabric, one of vulcanized rubber and one of untreated natural rubber, which can absorb fuel when ...

  6. Plug flow reactor model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_flow_reactor_model

    The plug flow reactor model ( PFR, sometimes called continuous tubular reactor, CTR, or piston flow reactors) is a model used to describe chemical reactions in continuous, flowing systems of cylindrical geometry. The PFR model is used to predict the behavior of chemical reactors of such design, so that key reactor variables, such as the ...

  8. Atmospheric dispersion modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_dispersion...

    Ecology portal. v. t. e. Atmospheric dispersion modeling is the mathematical simulation of how air pollutants disperse in the ambient atmosphere. It is performed with computer programs that include algorithms to solve the mathematical equations that govern the pollutant dispersion. The dispersion models are used to estimate the downwind ambient ...

  9. Inerting system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inerting_system

    Inerting system. An inerting system decreases the probability of combustion of flammable materials stored in a confined space. The most common such system is a fuel tank containing a combustible liquid, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, jet fuel, or rocket propellant. After being fully filled, and during use, there is a space above ...
