  2. Plug nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_nozzle

    Common garden hose trigger nozzles are a simple example of the plug nozzle and its method of operation. In this example the nozzle consists of a conical or bell shaped opening with a plug on a movable rod positioned in front of the nozzle. The plug looks similar to a poppet valve. The stem of the valve runs back through the body of the nozzle ...

  3. Nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozzle

    A nozzle is a device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow (specially to increase velocity) as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe. A nozzle is often a pipe or tube of varying cross sectional area, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid ( liquid or gas ).

  4. Spray nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_nozzle

    Spray nozzles can have one or more outlets; a multiple outlet nozzle is known as a compound nozzle. Multiple outlets on nozzles are present on spray balls, which have been used in the brewing industry for many years for cleaning casks and kegs. [2] Spray nozzles range from those for heavy duty industrial uses to light duty spray cans or spray ...

  5. Types of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_concrete

    Stamped concrete is an architectural concrete that has a superior surface finish. After a concrete floor has been laid, floor hardeners (can be pigmented) are impregnated on the surface and a mold that may be textured to replicate a stone / brick or even wood is stamped on to give an attractive textured surface finish.

  6. Water jet cutter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_jet_cutter

    In the nozzle, the water is focused into a thin beam by a jewel orifice. This beam of water is ejected from the nozzle, cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of speed on the order of Mach 3, around 2,500 ft/s (760 m/s). [39] The process is the same for abrasive waterjets until the water reaches the nozzle.

  7. Driveway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driveway

    A driveway (also called drive in UK English) [1] is a private road for local access to one or a small group of structures owned and maintained by an individual or group. Driveways rarely have traffic lights , but some may if they handle heavy traffic, especially those leading to commercial businesses or parks.

  8. de Laval nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Laval_nozzle

    A de Laval nozzle (or convergent-divergent nozzle, CD nozzle or con-di nozzle) is a tube which is pinched in the middle, with a rapid convergence and gradual divergence. It is used to accelerate a compressible fluid to supersonic speeds in the axial (thrust) direction, by converting the thermal energy of the flow into kinetic energy .

  9. Propelling nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propelling_nozzle

    Beyond this point the nozzle diameter becomes the biggest diameter and starts to incur increasing drag. Nozzles are thus limited to the installation size and the loss in thrust incurred is a trade off with other considerations such as lower drag, less weight. Examples are the F-16 at Mach 2.0 [21] and the XB-70 at Mach 3.0. [22]
