What is the Difference between an active earth pressure and passive earth pressure?
When the wall moves away from the backfill, the earth pressure on the wall decreases. This minimum pressure is called active earth pressure. On the other hand if the wall moves towards the backfill, the earth pressure increases. This maximum pressure is called passive earth pressure.
What do you understand by technical current direction?
Current in metal conductors is normally termed either 'electron flow' or 'conventional flow'. I'm not aware of the term, 'technical current'.'Electron flow' assumes that current is a flow of free electrons through the conductor, from a negative potential to positive potential.'Conventional flow' (also known as 'Franklinian flow', after Benjamin Franklin) predates what we know about the atom, and was based on the assumption, by scientists such as Franklin, that current was a flow of some mysterious 'fluid' from a higher pressure ('positive' pressure) to a lower pressure ('negative' pressure).Some textbooks assume 'electron flow', whereas most assume (for no accountable reason!) 'conventional flow'. At least one textbook I know of has been published in two versions: an 'electron flow version' and a 'conventional flow version'!
Pressure rating black iron schedule 80?
What medium and temperature as there is something called "pressure temperature relationship"
What pressure or force that causes current flow through a conductor is caleed?
The pressure or force causing current to flow through a conductor is called voltage.
What is the balance piston used for a centrifugal compressor?
Due to the pressure rise developed through the impeller, a pressure difference exists across the hubs and covers such that the impellers have a net thrust in the direction of the compressor inlet. The balance piston counteracts that by being located behind the last impeller. This is accomplished by subjecting the outboard side of the balance piston to a low pressure from the inlet side of the compressor thereby creating a pressure differential opposite to the direction of the impellers. This pressure is acheived by connecting the area behind the piston to the inlet using a line. The impeller thrust not balanced by the balace piston is absorbed by the thrust bearings. I hope this helps
