Steam under pressure is converted into mechanical energy more efficiently if it is used in a compound engine ; in such an engine, steam direct from a boiler is used in high pressure ( hp ) cylinders, and then, under reduced pressure, used again in a second set of cylinders.

* Simple, a steam engine that expands steam only once, as opposed to a compound engine that expands it more than once

In stationary steam engines, traction engines and marine engine practice, the shortcomings of valves and valve gears were among the factors that lead to compound expansion.

* Arthur Woolf, English engineer, best known for invention of a compound steam engine.

Both this and the 1988 Micra R ( EK10FR ) featured the same highly advanced sequential compound charged ( supercharger plus turbocharger ) engine in an all-aluminium straight-4 930 cc 8-valve 4-cylinder Nissan MA MA09ERT unit that produced 110 PS JIS ( 81 kW / 108 hp ) at 6400 rpm.

Even bigger locomotives were needed and this time six massive 0-6-6-0 Mallet type ( see: Whyte notation ) were built ( one in 1909 and five in 1911, five were compound engines, the last one a simple engine ).

The Rocket Establishment, as it was called, was divided into five areas: an administration and assembly block, a British Oxygen Company compound for on-site liquid oxygen fuel manufacture, a component test area, the engine test area and the static firing stands.

The beam engine is a free-standing engine of the compound rotative type.

Cutaway of triple expansion compound steam engine, 1888

A compound engine unit is a type of steam engine where steam is expanded in two or more stages.

A typical arrangement for a compound engine is that the steam is first expanded in a high-pressure ( HP ) cylinder, then having given up heat and losing pressure, it exhausts directly into one or more larger volume low-pressure ( LP ) cylinders.

All had two-cylinder compound engine and 1830 mm wheels.

They had two-cylinder compound engine and 1700 mm wheels and were regarded as more successful design, than A class.

They had two-cylinder compound engine and 1730 mm wheels.

* PS Henry Eckford, the first steamship to be powered by a compound engine

It had a fibreglass monocoque chassis ( based on the internal combustion-engined Pelland Sports ) and used a twin-cylinder double-acting compound engine.

This class were true Mallet locomotives, in that as well as being articulated between the forward, swinging engine unit and the rear fixed one, they were also compound locomotives ; the rear, high pressure cylinders exhausted their steam via a long pipe into the huge front cylinders.

Comparisons, which are most commonly planned, can be either simple or compound.

By the Brønsted-Lowry definition, any compound which can easily be deprotonated can be considered an acid.

In chemistry, an alcohol is an organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (- OH ) is bound to a carbon atom.

The compound resorcinol, hydrogenated with Raney nickel in presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide forms an enolate which is alkylated with methyl iodide to 2-methyl-1, 3-cyclohexandione:

Known to the Iranians by the Pahlavi compound word kah-ruba ( from kah “ straw ” plus rubay “ attract, snatch ,” referring to its electrical properties ), which entered Arabic as kahraba ' or kahraba, it too was called amber in Europe ( Old French and Middle English ambre ).

An allene is a compound in which one carbon atom has double bonds with each of its two adjacent carbon centres.

There were three main kinds of harpoon that the Aleut ’ s used: a simple harpoon, with a head that kept its original position in the animal after striking, a compound ( toggle-head ) harpoon in which the head took a horizontal position in the animal after penetration, and the throwing-lance used to kill large animals.

They generally possess compound eyes and a carapace, which may be a shell of two valves enclosing the trunk ( as in most Cladocera ), broad and shallow ( as in the Notostraca ), or entirely absent ( as in the Anostraca ).

They have a broad, flat carapace, which conceals the head and bears a single pair of compound eyes.

These are processes which create compound nuclei at low excitation energy (~ 10-20 MeV, hence " cold "), leading to a higher probability of survival from fission.

These are processes which create compound nuclei at high excitation energy (~ 40-50 MeV, hence " hot "), leading to a reduced probability of survival from fission and quasi-fission.

A compound is a substance with a particular ratio of atoms of particular chemical elements which determines its composition, and a particular organization which determines its chemical properties.

Cadmium burns in air to form brown amorphous cadmium oxide ( CdO ); the crystalline form of this compound is a dark red which changes color when heated, similar to zinc oxide.

A cyanide is a chemical compound that contains the cyano group ,-C ≡ N, which consists of a carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom.

A typical example of a unimolecular reaction is the cis – trans isomerization, in which the cis-form of a compound converts to the trans-form or vice versa.

Nucleophilic addition of a carbanion or another nucleophile to the double bond of an alpha, beta unsaturated carbonyl compound can proceed via the Michael reaction, which belongs to the larger class of conjugate additions.

CamelCase ( or camel case ), also known as medial capitals or Pascal case, is the practice of writing words with some inner uppercase letters, such as compound words or phrases in which the elements are joined without spaces, while each element has a capital letter within the compound.

The compound bow has the string attached to the pulleys, one or both of which has one or more cables attached to the opposite limb.

Methanides in general chemical context refers to any compound that hydrolyzes to methane, which might include also salts with hydrogenated anions such as,, and.

A compound turbine is a steam turbine in which there are two casings, a high-pressure casing and a low-pressure casing, operating in concert to extract work from a single source of steam.

The principal advantages of compound turbines are the reduction in size of any one casing, the confinement of the highest pressure to the smaller casing ( which may be made of stronger and more expensive materials ) and the possibility of divided flow in the low-pressure casing for the purpose of equalizing end thrusts.

* That an associated locant number represents the location of a covalent bond in an organic compound, the position of which is variant between isomeric forms

Italian " avere " and " essere " as auxiliaries for forming compound tenses are used similarly to French " avoir " and " être ", Spanish only retains " haber " and has done away with " ser " in forming compound tenses, which are no longer used in either Spanish or Portuguese.
