  2. Pressure-balanced valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-balanced_valve

    The pressure-balanced shower valve compensates for changes in water pressure. It has a diaphragm or piston inside that reacts to relative changes in either hot or cold water pressure to maintain balanced pressure. As water pressure drops on one supply line, the valve reduces the pressure in the other supply line to match.

  3. Moody chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_chart

    In engineering, the Moody chart or Moody diagram (also Stanton diagram) is a graph in non-dimensional form that relates the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f D, Reynolds number Re, and surface roughness for fully developed flow in a circular pipe. It can be used to predict pressure drop or flow rate down such a pipe.

  4. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

    Turning a valve knob or lever adjusts flow by varying the aperture of the control device in the valve assembly. The result when opened in any degree is a choked flow . Its rate is independent of the viscosity or temperature of the fluid or gas in the pipe, and depends only weakly on the supply pressure , so that flow rate is stable at a given ...

  5. Warnier/Orr diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warnier/Orr_diagram

    A Warnier/Orr diagram (also known as a logical construction of a program/system) is a kind of hierarchical flowchart that allows the description of the organization of data and procedures. They were initially developed 1976, [ 1 ] in France by Jean-Dominique Warnier [ 2 ] and in the United States by Kenneth Orr [ 3 ] on the foundation of ...

    [1]: 3 This software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing. [1]: 4 Designs made through CAD software help protect products and inventions when used in patent applications.

  7. Network diagram software - Wikipedia

    Broadly, there are four types of tools that help create network maps and diagrams: Hybrid tools; Network Mapping tools; Network Monitoring tools; Drawing tools; Network mapping and drawing software support IT systems managers to understand the hardware and software services on a network and

  8. Waterfall model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfall_model

    The waterfall model is a breakdown of developmental activities into linear sequential phases, meaning that each phase is passed down onto each other, where each phase depends on the deliverables of the previous one and corresponds to a specialization of tasks. [1]

    Below is a diagram of major station components. The Unity node joins directly to the Destiny laboratory; for clarity, they are shown apart. Similar cases are also seen in other parts of the structure. Key to box background colors: Pressurised component, accessible by the crew without using spacesuits
