degree
Physics; Thermodynamics
A unit used to measure temperature. The size of a degree can be different on different temperature scales.
maser
Physics; Thermodynamics
A device that sends out microwaves. Masers add energy to atoms in much the same way as lasers.
inversion temperature
Physics; Thermodynamics
The temperature point at which a constant-enthalpy line intersects the inversion line.
component volume
Physics; Thermodynamics
The volume a component in a gas mixture would occupy if it existed alone at the same temperature and pressure of the mixture.
component pressure
Physics; Thermodynamics
The pressure a component in a gas mixture would have if it existed alone at the same volume and temperature of the mixture.
four-stroke
Physics; Thermodynamics
Internal combustion engines in which the piston executes four complete strokes (or two mechanical cycles)—intake, compression, power, and exhaust— within the cylinder, and the ...
discharge coefficient
Physics; Thermodynamics
A parameter that expresses the performance of a nozzle, which is defined as the ratio of the mass flow rate through the nozzle to the mass flow rate of isentropic flow through the ...
