Topic: Current (fluid)


  
  Current (fluid) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A current is fluid flow, especially of water or air.
Air currents may be caused by differences in temperature, pressure, or impurity concentration.
Impurities cause air currents due to entropy, which is the natural tendency of a system to move to a disordered state.

 Fluid Dynamics Laboratory: Glossary
The northward flowing current along the west coast of Africa; it is one of the swiftest of ocean currents, the strongest current in the South Atlantic.
In oceanography, a current associated with horizontal pressure gradients in the ocean and determined by the condition that the pressure force due to the distribution of mass balances the coriolis force due to the earth's rotation.
The Guiana current is an extension of the south equatorial current (flowing west across the ocean between the equator and 20 degrees), which crosses the equator and approaches the coast of South America.

 Class 406: CONVEYORS: FLUID CURRENT / U.S. Patent Classification Definitions
Subject matter under the definition wherein the fluid current conveyor* is provided with means along a substantial portion of the load path to continuously direct fluid against the load as it is being conveyed to insure that a substantial portion of the load is surrounded and supported by fluid.
Subject matter wherein either (a) the inlet* of a fluid current conveyor can also serve as the outlet*, or (b) means are provided at the inlet* of a fluid current conveyor to feed the load through the inlet*, which means also receives the load from the outlet* of a fluid conveyor.
Subject matter wherein the inlet* to the fluid current conveyor* is movably mounted relative to some supporting structure of the conveyor such that the inlet* either is adjustable or may be moved to the load to be conveyed.

 Winterlude 95 - Current Issues in Fluid Resuscitation Following Trauma
CHS models, which fail to consider the interaction between the hemodynamic effects of the fluids administered and ongoing bleeding, are the basis for the recommendations integral to current trauma care.
An argument against fluid restriction is that the blood pressure at presentation is an important factor influencing survival following trauma with the incidence of multisystem complications correlating with the duration and intensity of shock.
The volume of standard resuscitation fluid (balanced salt solutions) capable of being delivered during the transport of injured patients is of little clinical benefit when evacuation time is short.

 Internal line hydraulic fluid pressure transmission recalibration unit - Patent 5365437
The amount of emitted current, and hence the internal line hydraulic fluid pressure, is generally determined by the electronic control system based on a number of factors which indicate the load placed on an engine associated with the transmission.
This current I.sub.TECA is directed to the TRU 1 to vary the internal line hydraulic fluid pressure of the E40D, based on a number of factors which indicate the load placed on an engine associated with the E40D.
If the control current from the TECA 3 is not modified in accordance with the present invention, the TECA 3 would control the internal line hydraulic fluid pressure based at least in part on perceived engine load which the TECA 3 interprets as a function of the TPS output and acceleration.

 evert fluid tech
With an impulse-transformer the accelerated current from the rotor of a turbine or a propeller or a screw is driven in a tangential direction into a ring shaped housing channel and from this housing channel further diverted almost tangentially into a multiplicity of jet channels.
The fluid forward to the rotor which is not caught by the rotor has a high dynamic pressure or is indirectly set in rotational motion.
The current thereby displays relatively little static pressure so that the normal water pressure of the fluid in rest effects an acceleration of the current (as in a potential vortex) in the direction of rotation.

On the other hand, by a proper knowledge of the physical constants of the surrounding fluid and of the fluid discharged into the same, it is possible to determine the optimum curve to be given to the means for guiding the stream, according to its rate of flow and velocity.
The accompanying diagrammatic drawing shows the direction of the streams of fluid which are discharged at high speed into another fluid through a nozzle, in the case of an equilibrium or lack of equilibrium of the facilities of withdrawal of the surrounding fluid at the sides of the stream.
Figure 3 shows the checking of the surrounding fluid on one side of the stream by means of a flap 4 which prevents the flow of the surrounding air from space 5, and also the deflection, according to the arrows 3,of the issuing stream discharged from said nozzle.

That portion of the fluid formed in the lateral ventricles escapes by the foramen of Monro into the third ventricle and thence by the aqueduct into the fourth ventricle.
Likewise an ascending current of fluid apparently occurs in the central canal of the spinal cord; this, representing a possible product of the ependyma, may be added to the intraventricular supply.
The absorption of the cerebrospinal fluid is a dual process, being chiefly a rapid drainage through the arachnoid villi into the great dural sinuses, and, in small part, a slow escape into the true lymphatic vessels, by way of an abundant but indirect perineural course.
