Flow measurement — is the quantification of bulk fluid movement. Flow can be measured in a variety of ways. Positive displacement flow meters acumulate a fixed volume of fluid and then count the number of times the volume is filled to measure flow. Other flow… … Wikipedia
Flow (psychology) — Flow is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity. Proposed by positive psychologist Mihály… … Wikipedia
Flow chemistry — In flow chemistry, a chemical reaction is run in a continuously flowing stream rather than in batch production. In other words, pumps move fluid into a tube, and where tubes join one another, the fluids contact one another. If these fluids are… … Wikipedia
Flow coefficient — The flow coefficient of a device is a relative measure of its efficiency at allowing fluid flow. It describes the relationship between the pressure drop across an orifice, valve or other assembly and the corresponding flow rate.Coefficent of… … Wikipedia
Cross-flow turbine — Cross flow turbine. Image credit; European Communities, Layman s Guidebook (on how to develop a small hydroelectric site) A cross flow turbine, Banki Michell turbine, or Ossberger turbine[1] is a water turbine developed by the Australian Anthony… … Wikipedia
Algorithmic efficiency — In computer science, efficiency is used to describe properties of an algorithm relating to how much of various types of resources it consumes. Algorithmic efficiency can be thought of as analogous to engineering productivity for a repeating or… … Wikipedia
Reverse-flow cylinder head — A reverse flow or non crossflow cylinder head is one that locates the intake and exhaust ports on the same side of the engine. The gases can be thought to enter the cylinder head and then change direction in order to exit the head. This is in… … Wikipedia
Volumetric efficiency — in internal combustion engine design refers to the efficiency with which the engine can move the charge into and out of the cylinders. More correctly, volumetric efficiency is a ratio (or percentage) of what volume of fuel and air actually enters … Wikipedia
Data-flow analysis — is a technique for gathering information about the possible set of values calculated at various points in a computer program. A program s control flow graph (CFG) is used to determine those parts of a program to which a particular value assigned… … Wikipedia
Air flow bench — An air flow bench is a device used for testing the internal aerodynamic qualities of an engine component and is related to the more familiar wind tunnel. Used primarily for testing the intake and exhaust ports of cylinder heads of internal… … Wikipedia
