Capacity of a compressor is the full rated volume of flow of gas compressed and delivered at certain set conditions.

The temperature which would be measured at the stagnation point if a gas stream were stopped, with adiabatic compression from the flow condition to the stagnation pressure.

A charge made for a service performed in a carrier's terminal area.

An unauthoritative story (a tall story).

The porous device which perform the actual process of filtration.

A comparison of a carrier's operating expense with its net sales. The most general measure of operating efficiency.
