  2. Pogo oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogo_oscillation

    Pogo oscillation is a self-excited vibration in liquid-propellant rocket engines caused by combustion instability. [1] The unstable combustion results in variations of engine thrust, causing variations of acceleration on the vehicle's flexible structure, which in turn cause variations in propellant pressure and flow rate, closing the self-excitation cycle.

  3. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Secondary balance eliminates vibration at twice the frequency of crankshaft rotation. This particularly affects straight and V-engines with a 180° or single-plane crankshaft in which pistons in neighbouring cylinders simultaneously pass through opposite dead centre positions. While it might be expected that a 4-cylinder inline engine would ...

  4. Composite overwrapped pressure vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_overwrapped...

    COPVs can be subject to complex modes of failure. In 2016, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket exploded on the pad due to the failure of a COPV inside the liquid oxygen tank: [10] the failure resulted from accumulation of frozen solid oxygen between the COPV's aluminum liner and composite overwrap in a void or buckle. The entrapped oxygen can either break ...

  5. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

    In the oil and gas industry the operation of gas compressors in surge conditions is prevented by instrumentation around the compressor. [15] The measured flow rate of gas (FT) in the compressor suction line together with the suction pressure (PT), and sometimes the suction temperature (TT) and the pressure (PT) in discharge line is fed into the ...

  6. 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 ...

    He entered the week averaging 5.4 YPC and ranked at the top of the league in yards after contact per attempt (4.10), so it’s not as if he and Travis Etienne Jr. have offered similar per-touch ...

  8. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

    One proposal to reduce vibration on NASA's Ares solid fuel booster was to use 16 tuned mass dampers as part of a design strategy to reduce peak loads from 6g to 0.25g, with the TMDs being responsible for the reduction from 1g to 0.25g, the rest being done by conventional vibration isolators between the upper stages and the booster.

  9. Vapor recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_recovery

    Vapor recovery towers are also used in the oil and gas industry to provide flash gas recovery at near atmospheric pressure without the chance of oxygen ingress at the top of the storage tanks. The ability to create the vapor flash inside the tower often reduces storage tank emissions to less than six tons per year, exempting the tank battery ...
