Negative pressure, characteristics

It is the energy in the liquid rec]uired to overcome the friction los.ses from the suction nozzle to the eye of the impeller without causing vaporization. It is a characteristic of the pump and is indicated on the pump s curve. It varies by design, size, and the operating conditions. It is determined by a lift test, producing a negative pressure in inches of mercury and converted into feet of required NPSH. 

It should be noted that one of the most significant characteristics of the actinides is their radioactivity all isotopes are radioactive, although some have half-lives of greater than 1 x 10 years. Precautions must be taken in their handling, ranging from the use of special enclosures (HEPA-filtered exhaust hoods, negative-pressure gloveboxes) to the use of shielded facilities. 

Consistency - Nonfood Foreign Objects Conforming objects will, with certain flexibility and surface characteristics, adhere closely to the surface topographic features of the airway, making an effective seal. Expiratory effort will allow air to leave the lungs but inspiration will create a negative pressure on the distal surface of the conforming object that draws it further into the airway. Deformable materials (i.e., materials or objects whose shapes can be altered by...

For the purposes of structural design or evaluation, the variation or dechne of both the incident and dynamic pressures with time should be established, since the response of a structure subjected to a blast loading depends upon the time history of the loading as well as the dynamic response characteristics of the structure. The idealized form of the incident blast wave is characterized by an abrupt rise in pressure to a peak value, a period of decay to ambient pressure and a period in which the pressure is below ambient (the negative pressure phase). A simpler representation of only the positive blast pressure phase including reflected wave effects is usually sufficient for the purposes of engineering evaluation. 

The particular and interesting characteristics of ultrasound waves in chemical reactions arise from the physical phenomenon known as acoustic cavitation. Cavitation is the production, growth, and collapse of microbubbles in a liquid when a large negative pressure is applied to it [10,11]. As can be seen in Figure 3, the formation of cavitation bubbles is initiated during the rarefaction cycle. 

A notable characteristic of the plane explosion in a duct is the lack of a negative pressure phase, if there is no water steam condensation, the same as it is for a H2 + O2 mixture explosion. The blast wave pressure impulse in a duct is practically constant throughout the length R/Rq 100 provided that there is no loss due to friction. In combination with moderate attenuation of the front there is evidence of compression phase expansion as the wave is moves though the duct.
