Once the available energy has been removed, the remaining hot gases are vented ( often by opening a valve or exposing the exhaust outlet ) and this allows the piston to return to its previous position ( top dead center, or TDC ).

Throttling a running engine back, to reduce revs was necessary to allow pilots to fly in formation-they would close off the fuel valve to the required position then re-adjust the fuel / air mixture to suit.

1. body 2. ports 3. seat 4. stem 5. disc when valve is open 6. handle or handwheel when valve is open 7. bonnet 8. packing 9. gland nut 10. fluid flow when valve is open 11. position of disc if valve were shut 12. position of handle or handwheel if valve were shut

Valve positions are operating conditions determined by the position of the disc or rotor in the valve.

* In position one, the valve is open ; pressure from the master cylinder is passed right through to the brake.

* In position three, the valve releases some of the pressure from the brake.

The weighted sum of these three actions is used to adjust the process via a control element such as the position of a control valve, or the power supplied to a heating element.

This causes one-way clearing valves to stick in the open or closed position, and float valves to leak water due to a failure of the valve seat to seal out water.

In fact the light did not indicate the position of the valve, only the status of the solenoid, thus giving false evidence of a closed valve.

The Kemeny Commission noted that Babcock and Wilcox's PORV valve had previously failed on 11 occasions, nine of them in the open position, allowing coolant to escape.

Self-ignition leads to inefficiencies ( or even engine damage ) if it occurs during compression prior to the desired position of the piston in the cylinder as appropriate for valve and ignition timing.

The stem is used to push down on the valve and open it, with a spring generally used to return it to the closed position when the stem is not being depressed.

The topological survey of 1996 confirmed 6 starting line blocks, four of which were grouped together and were thus possibly found near their original orientation and position.

Mereological nihilism ( also called compositional nihilism ) is the position that objects with proper parts do not exist ( not only objects in space, but also objects existing in time do not have any temporal parts ), and only basic building blocks without parts exist, and thus the world we see and experience full of objects with parts is a product of human misperception ( i. e., if we could see clearly, we would not perceive compositive objects ).

A special mechanism blocks out the light when the off position is desired without violating Shabbat.

In particular, the relative position of content blocks may change, but each block is less affected.

The Maluku Islands comprise some of the most geologically complex and active regions in the world, resulting from its position at the meeting point of four geological plates and two continental blocks.

Roman pulleys and cranes weren't strong enough to lift the blocks alone so they may have used multiple cranes and levers to position them.
