Pressure in a sentence

If the pressure sensor detects low pressure in the system, it opens up the EGR valve to increase the pressure, and when the system has a high pressure, the EGR valve closes down to lower the pressure.

The absolute pressure in a pressure cooker will always be lower at higher altitudes, since the differential pressure remains the same (if one were to travel high enough the pressure within the cooker would drop below sea-level pressure).

Pressure probability will also generate 13 different metrics that can be tracked, including pressure rate, pressure time, and average pressure probability.

One thing I've learned in times of pressure is that there's pressure from the inside—what I call Holy Ghost pressure—and pressure from the outside the comes from people, places, things (and some of those "things" include demons).

For gases, pressure is sometimes measured not as an absolute pressure, but relative to atmospheric pressure ; such measurements are called gauge pressure.

Modern regulators typically feature high-pressure ports for pressure sensors of dive-computers and submersible pressure gauges, and additional low-pressure ports for hoses for inflation of dry suits and BC devices.

Non-standard pressure settings Some pressure cookers have a lower or higher maximum pressure than 1 bar/15 psi above sea level pressure or can be adjusted to different pressures for some recipes; cooking times will increase or decrease accordingly.

Pressure distributions can also be conveniently measured by the use of pressure-sensitive pressure belts, a recent development in which multiple ultra-miniaturized pressure sensor modules are integrated into a flexible strip.

Static pressure and stagnation pressure are related by: : where : is the stagnation pressure : is the flow velocity : is the static pressure.

The pressure differences and the changes in flow speed and direction support each other in a mutual interaction The non-uniform pressure exerts forces on the air in the direction from higher pressure to lower pressure.

The pressure shown on a gauge would be the absolute pressure less atmospheric pressure, or 187.1 psi.) The two corrections for dynamic compression ratio affect cylinder pressure in opposite directions, but not in equal strength.

The reference face can be open to atmosphere to measure gauge pressure, open to a second port to measure differential pressure, or can be sealed against a vacuum or other fixed reference pressure to measure absolute pressure.

This also allows some manufacturers to provide secondary pressure containment as an extra precaution for pressure equipment safety if the burst pressure of the primary pressure sensing diaphragm is exceeded.

This pressure is the stagnation pressure of the fluid, also known as the total pressure or (particularly in aviation) the pitot pressure.

They're caused when air moves from the high-pressure system pressure north of Hawaii — known as the North Pacific High — to the area of low pressure at the equator, to the south of the state.

Blood pressure screenings can help identify a variety of illnesses including hypertension (high blood pressure), hypotension (low blood pressure), strokes, heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease.

Unfortunately, it has been estimated that up to 50% of people with hypertension don’t even know their blood pressure is high and 50% of people who are aware they have high blood pressure still don’t have adequate blood pressure control.

Without an EMU maintaining a constant pressure around spacewalkers, the gas in their lungs would rapidly expand as it tries to move from the high pressure in the lungs to the much lower pressure of these spacey surroundings.

Farmaner told The Irrawaddy on Tuesday that, “There is no single measure that will pressure the military to change, but every small form of pressure will add up to stronger pressure.

The international coalition, led by the United States, is focused on providing the military pressure, in conjunction with social pressure and diplomatic pressure, that will force them to come to the table,” Votel said.
