2. Slip factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_factor

   In turbomachinery, the slip factor is a measure of the fluid slip in the impeller of a compressor or a turbine, mostly a centrifugal machine. Fluid slip is the deviation in the angle at which the fluid leaves the impeller from the impeller's blade/vane angle.

3. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

   The term describes violent air flow oscillating in the axial direction of a compressor, which indicates the axial component of fluid velocity varies periodically and may even become negative. In early literature, the phenomenon of compressor surge was identified by audible thumping and honking at frequencies as low as 1 Hertz, pressure ...

4. Compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

   Reciprocating compressor – Device used to pump gases at high pressure (piston compressor) Roots blower – A positive displacement lobe pump (a lobe-type compressor) Slip factor – Measure of the fluid slip in the impeller of a compressor or a turbine; Trompe – Water-powered air compressor

5. Pascal's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_law

   Pressure in water and air. Pascal's law applies for fluids. Pascal's principle is defined as: A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed incompressible fluid at rest is transmitted equally and undiminished to all points in all directions throughout the fluid, and the force due to the pressure acts at right angles to the enclosing walls.

6. Break-in (mechanical run-in) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break-in_(mechanical_run-in)

   Revolutions per minute should be around 1500 rpm. Run for about half an hour while checking the oil pressure and there should not be any over-boiling of the engine's coolant, which is a combination of air, oil, and water. Once this initial step is completed, drive at varying speeds on the road (or stand) by accelerating between speeds of 30 and ...

7. Fluid coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_coupling

   Daimler car fluid flywheel of the 1930s. A fluid coupling or hydraulic coupling is a hydrodynamic or 'hydrokinetic' device used to transmit rotating mechanical power. [1] It has been used in automobile transmissions as an alternative to a mechanical clutch.

9. Compressed-air car - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_car

   Compressed air cars are emission free. They also do not require a connection to the electric grid. A wind turbine or other renewable energy source can directly drive an air compressor or hydraulic pump. Compressed air cars do not rely on petrol stations or an electric grid. While centralized infrastructure might not be needed, it is an option.
