relative pressure

Fromm looked at another gauge, the one that measured relative pressures.

It held a half-width sliding door that could be opened from either side regardless of the relative pressures.

Relative pressure is at negative twelve percent, and pod number one has been deactivated."

A common rarefaction wave is the area of low relative pressure following a shock wave (see picture).

The pressure coefficient is a dimensionless number which describes the relative pressures throughout a flow field in fluid dynamics.

Low and high pressures on earth's surface are balanced by opposite relative pressures in the upper troposphere.

Along with the H/T properties, this polymer must be processed at very high temperatures and relative pressure to produce these characteristics.

The composition of the film can be controlled by varying the relative pressures of the inert and reactive gases.

Aircraft altimeters measure the relative pressure difference between the lower ambient pressure at altitude and a calibrated reading on the ground.

The mix of all water and air streams and their relative pressures is crucial to the amount of snow made and its quality.

The relative pressure or enthalpy drop in the nozzle and rotor blades are determined by the degree of reaction of the stage.

Despite the relative pressure disadvantage, modern rimfire magnums in .17-caliber, 5mm, and .22-caliber generate muzzle energy comparable to smaller centerfire cartridges.

A non-moving vehicle only loses this air due to leakage around the pads, which can be very low depending on the relative pressure between the pad and the outside atmosphere.

Relief is achieved by decreasing relative pressure by equalizing the middle ear with ambient pressure ("popping ears") through swallowing, yawning, chewing, or the valsalva maneuver.

John Dalton proposes Dalton's law, which describes relationship between the components in a mixture of gases and the relative pressure each contributes to that of the overall mixture.

A children's rubber balloon is a positive stressed skin structure of stable and lightweight volume form, provided it is maintained at constant relative pressure ratio and nobody sticks a pin in it.

Fluid is forced through an elastically deforming tube which passes through a region of high external pressure causing a flattening of the tube depending on the relative pressures of the inside and outside of the tube.
