Natural gas (methane) that has been compressed to a higher pressure gaseous state by a compressor; used in CNG vehicles.

A factor expressing the deviation of gas from the laws of hydraulics.

Is the ratio of the actual volume of the gas to the volume determined according to the perfect gas law.

Compression in which no heat is transferred to or from the gas during the compression process.

A bar which projects above the coaming and which bears against a continuous rubber gasket strip set into the hatch panels of steel hatch covers in order to provide a weathertight seal.

A cooling device that uses mechanical energy to produce chilled water.

Is the ratio of the theoretical work requirement to the actual work required to be performed on the gas for compression and delivery.

The ratio of the absolute discharge pressure to the absolute inlet pressure.

Pertaining to forces on a body or part of a body that tend to crush or compress the body.

The maximum compressive stress a material is capable of developing. With a brittle material that fails in compression by fracturing, the compressive strength has a definite value. In the case of ductile, malleable, or semiviscous materials (which do not f ...

A stress that causes an elastic body to deform (shorten) in the direction of the applied load. Contrast with tensile stress.

A device used to compress air for mechanical or electrical power production, and in air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigerators to pressurize the refrigerant and enabling it to flow through the system.
