What is "pressures"

Usage examples of "pressures".

When the gases cool, the curve merges into a straight line, which indicates the pressures of the cooled gases on the sides of the chamber.

Infected animals kept at those high pressures are still alive, six days after exposure.

Instead of the usual overnight camp-out at reduced air pressures, they had spent only four hours in the air lock.

We thought, if we reproduced those pressures, we could make it benign again.

The incredible pressures affect the very binding energy of the atoms and stresses are produced.

They lived every moment now under a microscope, public pressures extinguishing their personal flames.

The major virtues tend to disintegrate under the pressures of convenient rationalization.

His panel was the steam plant control panel, his gages read steam pressures and temperatures--the heartbeat of the steam plant.

By the time the pressure wave reached the aft bulkhead of nuclear control, the scattered tissues that a moment before comprised Mikhail Geroshkov had vaporized in the soaring pressures and temperatures of the fiery air.

He warned Chatterton that mixing such flammable gases under such high pressures could result in disaster-a single spark could cause an explosion or fire.

If Russo felt the pressures of command, she buried it deep in her stocky body.

In the center section of each division is an indicator cock which is used to provide means of recording pressures above and below atmospheric, or of sampling the air-and-gas mixture.

The cooling effect of the inner surface on the gaseous products of combustion, a vital point in computations of the disruptive force of explosives by this method, is determined by comparing the pressures obtained in the original cylinder with those in a second cylinder of larger capacity, into which has been inserted one or more steel cylinders to increase the superficial area while keeping the volume equal to that of the first cylinders.

By comparing results, a curve may be plotted, which will determine the actual pressures developed, with the surface-cooling effect eliminated.

The testing of another portion of the same coal in a briquette machine at different pressures and with different percentages and kinds of binder, in order to determine the feasibility of briquetting the slack or fine coal.
