A rotary valve, at the ones I'm familiar with, is typically used to move solid materials from a hopper. Basically the valve is designed with a paddle wheel which is shaft-mounted and driven by a motor. The rotary valve is similar to a revolving door: the paddles or blades form an airtight seal with the housing; the motor slowly moves the blades to allow the solids to discharge from the hopper. I know how Trumpet rotary valves work. Just tilt the trumpet sideways so the rotary valves face upwards and play.

The heart has two upper chambers called the right and left atria and two lower chambers called the right and left ventricles. On the right side of the heart, blood lacking oxygen returns from the body into the right atrium. The tricuspid valve connects the right atrium to the right ventricle and opens allowing blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle when the heart is not contracting. When the heart contracts, the tricuspid valve closes preventing blood from flowing backwards from the right ventricle into the right atrium. Then the right ventricle ejects blood across the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary arteries and eventually the lungs. The pulmonic valve closes preventing blood from flowing backwards from the lungs into the right ventricle. After blood passes through the lungs, picking up oxygen, it arrives in the left atrium and crosses the mitral valve into the left ventricle. When the heart contracts, the mitral valve closes, preventing blood from flowing backwards from the left ventricle to the left atrium. The left ventricle ejects blood across the aortic valve into the aorta and the rest of the body. Then the aortic valve closes, preventing blood from flowing backwards from the body into the left ventricle. Of course in reality, blood flows to both sides of the heart at the same time, with heart valves on both sides opening and closing at the same time.

how do valves work on brass instruments?

The way the valves on a brass instrument work is that when pressed down they allow air to pass through a piece of tubing, thus making the length of tubing of the trumpet longer, this allows valved instruments to be able to play more notes than instruments without valves.
