Mechanical Definitions |
Infrared Homing : The process of homing in which the
target is tracked with the help of its emitted infrared radiation.
|
Initial Saturation : It is a relative content of oil,
water and gas of a reservoir. |
Inkometer : It is a measuring instrument used to measure
the adhesiveness of liquid as it is applied to paper from rotating
drums. |
Instantaneous Cut : It is a cut which is set off by instantaneous
detonators to be certain that all charges in the cut go off
at the same time. All the holes break smaller top angles because
the drilling and ignition are carried out. |
Intake Stroke : The fluid admission phase or travel of
a reciprocating piston and cylinder mechanism as, for example,
in an engine, pump or compressor. The first stroke in the sequence
is the intake stroke. |
Intake Valve : A type of valve which opens to allow air
or an air-fuel mixture to enter the engine cylinder. |
Integrating Galvanometer : It is a modified d'Arsonval
galvanometer which is used to measure the integral of current
over time. It is designed to measure changes of flux in an exploring
coil which last over periods of several minutes. |
Integrating Water Sampler : It is a water sampling tool
or device which comprises a cylinder with a free piston whose
movement is regulated by the fresh water's evacuation. |
Intercondenser : It is a condenser between stages of
a multistage steam jet pump. |
Intercooler : It is a heat exchanger for cooling a fluid
between successive heating stages with consequent saving in
power. It is also called as Charge Air Cooler. |
Intermediate Gear : It is an idler gear which is interposed
between driver and driven gear in an automatic transmission.
