Nexus Mods. Nexus Mods is a website that hosts computer game mods and other user-created content related to video game modding. It is one of the largest gaming mod sites on the web, [ 2] with 30 million registered members and 1733 supported games as of June 2022, with a single forum and a wiki for site- and mod-related topics. [ 3] Founded in ...
A vortex generator ( VG) is an aerodynamic device, consisting of a small vane usually attached to a lifting surface (or airfoil, such as an aircraft wing) [1] or a rotor blade of a wind turbine. [2] VGs may also be attached to some part of an aerodynamic vehicle such as an aircraft fuselage or a car. When the airfoil or the body is in motion ...
Wingtip vortices are circular patterns of rotating air left behind a wing as it generates lift. [1] : 5.14 The name is a misnomer because the cores of the vortices are slightly inboard of the wing tips. [2] : 369 Wingtip vortices are sometimes named trailing or lift-induced vortices because they also occur at points other than at the wing tips.
Vortex Flash Hider. The Vortex Flash Hider or Vortex Flash Eliminator is a flash suppressor made by Smith Enterprise, Inc. for a variety of different rifles, carbines, machine guns and handguns. Vortex Flash Hider mounted on an AR-15 rifle. Vortex Flash Hider viewed from the front.
Vortex tube. The vortex tube, also known as the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube, is a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams. The gas emerging from the hot end can reach temperatures of 200 °C (390 °F), and the gas emerging from the cold end can reach −50 °C (−60 °F). [1] It has no moving parts and is ...
The move to keep a can of Arizona Iced Tea at 99 cents echoes Costco’s four decade effort to keep its hot dog combo at $1.50 despite rising costs—and, earlier, Coca-Cola’s half-century quest ...
VORTEX projects. NSSL mobile mesonet vehicles of the first Project VORTEX, equipped with surface measurement equipment. The V erification of the O rigins of R otation in T ornadoes Ex periment (or VORTEX) are field experiments that study tornadoes. VORTEX1 was the first time scientists completely researched the entire evolution of a tornado ...
A vortex breaker is a device used in engineering to stop the formation of a vortex when a fluid ( liquid or gas) is drained from a vessel such as a tank or vapor–liquid separator. The formation of vortices can entrain vapor in the liquid stream, leading to poor separation in process steps such as distillation or excessive pressure drop, [1 ...
