  2. Environmental control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_control_system

    That means that the pressure is 10.9 pounds per square inch (75 kPa), which is the ambient pressure at 8,000 feet (2,400 m). Note that a lower cabin altitude is a higher pressure. The cabin pressure is controlled by a cabin pressure schedule, which associates each aircraft altitude with a cabin altitude.

  3. Orders of magnitude (pressure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(pressure)

    Pressure used in boilers of steam locomotives [citation needed] 1.1 MPa 162 psi Pressure of an average human bite [citation needed] 2.8–8.3 MPa 400–1,200 psi Pressure of carbon dioxide propellant in a paintball gun [64] 5 MPa 700 psi Water pressure of the output of a coin-operated car wash spray nozzle [58] 5 MPa 700 psi

  4. Cabin pressurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabin_pressurization

    The pressure inside the cabin is technically referred to as the equivalent effective cabin altitude or more commonly as the cabin altitude. This is defined as the equivalent altitude above mean sea level having the same atmospheric pressure according to a standard atmospheric model such as the International Standard Atmosphere. Thus a cabin ...

  5. Digital on-screen graphic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_on-screen_graphic

    Watermarks present an issue when archival videos are used for a documentary that strives to create a coherent story. In some cases, watermarks are blurred or digitally removed if possible to clean up the picture. In the absence of visually perceptible watermarks content control can be ensured with visually imperceptible digital watermarks. [2]

  6. Pressure coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_coefficient

    This pressure distribution is simply the pressure at all points around an airfoil. Typically, graphs of these distributions are drawn so that negative numbers are higher on the graph, as the C p {\displaystyle C_{p}} for the upper surface of the airfoil will usually be farther below zero and will hence be the top line on the graph.

  7. Pitot–static system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot–static_system

    It works by measuring pressures or pressure differences and using these values to assess the speed and altitude. [1] These pressures can be measured either from the static port (static pressure) or the pitot tube (pitot pressure). The static pressure is used in all measurements, while the pitot pressure is used only to determine airspeed.

  8. Air changes per hour - Wikipedia

    It is worth noting that ACH measured with the blower door test, at a differential pressure of 50 pascals, mimics the situation of a sustained 20 mph (32 km/h) wind outside. The natural air leakage, under calmer conditions, is likely to be much less. As a result, the so-called natural ACH may be a factor of 10-25 times smaller. [14]

  9. Ground pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_pressure

    Ground pressure is the pressure exerted on the ground by the tires or tracks of a motorized vehicle, and is one measure of its potential mobility, [1] especially over soft ground. It also applies to the feet of a walking person or machine .
