What is the Difference between plug valve and ball valve?
A plug valave uses a cilindrical kind of element to shut down the flow. The ball valve uses a spherical element to sut down the flow
What kind of circuit allows a current to flow through it?
Closed circuit
Why is the pressure drop higher in globe valves than in gate valves?
The flowpath in gate valves is sraight. In a globe valve, the flow has to make at least one 90° angle (for some angle body valves) and usually more. Changing the direction of the flow causes pressure drop. Also, the minimum flow area of a gate valve is usually greater than the same size globe valve, making it more efficient. Energy in the flow is lost in expansions and contractions, and the loss of energy manifests itself as pressure drop. The fewer expansions, contractions, direction changes, and general disruptions of any kind in the flow, the lower the measureable pressure drop will be.
Which direction does the conventional flow of energy move?
The term "conventional flow" is usually used specifically for electricity, not for any kind of energy. If the current consists of electrons, then, if the electrons move in one direction, the conventional flow (a ficticious flow of positive charge) flows in the opposite direction. If the electric flow consists of positive charges, then the conventional flow and the physical, or real, flow, are in the same direction. An electron current is the most common case, though.
What kind of circuit allows a current to flow through?
Any complete circuit. ==== An electrical circuit.
What kind of chest wound allows air to flow into and out of the chest without breathing?
A pneumothorax is a chest wound that allows air to flow into and out of the chest without breathing. When a person presents with a pneumothorax, there is air in the pleural cavity.
Difference between butterfly valve and gate valve?
Butterfly valve refers to a kind of valve whose closing part (butterfly plate) is a disc, which rotates around the valve shaft to achieve opening and closing. It mainly plays a role of cutting off and throttling on the pipeline. The butterfly valve opening and closing part is a disc-shaped butterfly plate, which rotates around its own axis in the valve body to achieve the purpose of opening and closing or adjustment. The butterfly valve is usually 90° from fully open to fully closed. The butterfly valve is simple in structure, small in size and light in weight, and consists of only a few parts. Moreover, it can be opened and closed quickly by rotating 90°, and the operation is simple. The opening and closing part of the gate valve is a gate. The movement direction of the gate is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid. The gate valve can only be fully opened and fully closed, and cannot be adjusted or throttled. The gate has two sealing surfaces. The advantages of the gate valve: small fluid resistance, less effort to open and close, no restriction on the flow of the medium, no turbulence, no pressure reduction
What happens if your heart valve malfunctions?
If your valves are not working then your blood will flow in the wrong direction
What kind of machine allows a single sailor to turn an entire ship wheel?
The steering wheel affects the rudder of the ship. If you move it in one direction, you cause the rudder to alter its direction.
How do you change a valve?
What kind of valve?
Difference between electron flow and conventional current?
Conventional current flow refers to a flow of positive charges. It is a kind of ficticious current. If - as is often the case - the real current is an electron flow (negative charges), then the conventional flow is a current in the opposite direction as the electron movements, since this would have the same effect (for example on the magnetic field, or on conservation of charge).
What is a butterfly valve used for?
A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter turn valves. The "butterfly" is a metal disc mounted on a rod. When the valve is closed, the disc is turned so that it completely blocks off the passageway. When the valve is open, the disc is rotated a quarter turn so that it allows unrestricted passage. The position of the disc is effected from outside the valve. And the Steel butterfly valve is one kind of butterfly valve , the main material is steel.
