High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the game of bridge the law of Vacant Places can be used both to aid in a decision at the table and to derive the entire suit division probability table. The principle of vacant places can be summarized as follows: when the distribution of one or more suits is known exactly, then the probability of finding a particular card in a particular hand is proportional to the number of unknown cards (vacant places) in that hand. The principle of vacant places follows from Conditional Probability theory, which is based on Bayes Theorem. For a good background to bridge probabilities, and vacant places in particula.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vacuum arc remelting (VAR) is a secondary melting process for production of metal ingots with elevated chemical and mechanical homogeneity for highly demanding applications. The VAR process has revolutionized the specialty traditional metallurgical techniques industry, and has made possible incredibly controlled materials used in the biomedical, aviation, and aerospace fields. VAR is used most frequently in high value applications. Essentially it is an additional processing step to improve the quality of metal. Because it is both time consuming and expensive, a majority of commercial alloys do not employ the process. Nickel, titanium, and specialty steels are materials most often processed with...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A vacuum airship, also known as a vacuum balloon, is a type of aircraft. First proposed by Italian monk Franceso de Lana in 1670, the vacuum balloon would be the ultimate expression of displacement lift power. A frequent topic of blue sky thinking, the basic principle has remained the same: a container strong enough to preserve a vacuum that displaces sufficient air to lift the container and an additional load. However, construction of a container strong enough to withstand atmospheric pressure while at the same time being lighter than the air it displaces is currently just beyond the realm of possibility given current technology.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A vacuum flask, colloquially called a thermos after a ubiquitous brand, is a storage vessel which provides thermal insulation by interposing a partial vacuum between the contents and the ambient environment. The evacuated region of the partial vacuum removes material that could serve as a heat conductor or carrier, enabling the flask to keep its contents hotter or cooler than its surroundings. Vacuum flasks are commonly used as insulated shipping containers. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд после получения заказа.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The vacuum brake is a braking system used on trains. It was first introduced in the mid 1860s and a variant, the automatic vacuum brake system became almost universal in British train equipment, and in those countries influenced by British practice. It enjoyed a brief period of adoption in the USA, primarily on narrow gauge railroads. Its limitations caused it to be progressively superseded by compressed air systems, in the United Kingdom from the 1970's. The vacuum brake system is now obsolescent; it is not in large-scale use anywhere in the world, supplanted in the main by air brakes. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Vacuum Insulated Evaporator (VIE) is a device which hospitals use to store large amounts of oxygen (cf. gas oxygen manifold). It stores oxygen as a liquid and therefore needs to be insulated, rather like an insulated flask, otherwise the oxygen will rapidly warm and pass from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase and be lost to the atmosphere. It consists of an outer carbon steel shell and an inner stainless steel shell, with vacuum insulation in between. The liquid oxygen is at a temperature of around ?150 °C to ?180 °C. It is in the liquid phase as it is below its critical temperature. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A vacuum pump is a device that removes gas molecules from a sealed volume in order to leave behind a partial vacuum. The vacuum pump was invented in 1650 by Otto von Guericke. Pumping speed refers to the volume flow rate of a pump at its inlet, often measured in volume per unit of time. Momentum transfer and entrapment pumps are more effective on some gases than others, so the pumping rate can be different for each of the gases being pumped, and the average volume flow rate of the pump will vary depending on the chemical composition of the gases remaining in the chamber.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vacuum casting is a means of casting small metal parts or jewelry that have fine detail or for casting various plastic materials. A porous or vented mold is used and is placed on a table or container where vacuum is applied. The liquid to be cast will be driven into the mold by atmospheric pressure, while the vacuum will also remove trapped air that would otherwise impede the free flow of the liquid casting material. Vacuum casting is applied as an alternative to centrifugal casting of metals which is used in similar situations. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vacuum flask cooking was introduced to the Asian market in the mid-1990s. The vacuum cooker is a stainless steel vacuum flask. The flasks come in various sizes ranging from 20 to 40 centimetres (8 to 16 in) in diameter and 25 centimetres (10 in) tall. A removable pot, with handle and lid, fits inside the vacuum flask. The pot and contents are heated to cooking temperature, and then sealed in the flask. The flask simply reduces heat loss to a minimum, so that the food remains at cooking temperature for a long time, and cooks without continued heating. Note that the food is not cooked in a vacuum.

A vacuum breaker is an attachment commonly placed on a bibcock valve or toilet or urinal flush valve, that prevents water from being siphoned backward into the public drinking water system. This prevents contamination should the public drinking water system's pressure drop.

Should the supply pressure drop, the disc springs back opening the vent holes, and preventing backflow of water. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) is a non-cryogenic gas separation technology. Using special solids, or absorbents, VSA segregates certain gases from a gaseous mixture under minimal pressure according to the species' molecular characteristics and affinity for the absorbents. These absorbents (e.g., zeolites) form a molecular sieve and preferentially absorb the target gas species at near ambient pressure. The process then swings to a vacuum to regenerate the absorbent material. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд после получения заказа.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vacuum distillation is a method of distillation whereby the pressure above the liquid mixture to be distilled is reduced to less than its vapor pressure (usually less than atmospheric pressure) causing evaporation of the most volatile liquid(s) (those with the lowest boiling points). This distillation method works on the principle that boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid exceeds the ambient pressure. Vacuum distillation is used with or without heating the solution.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Soil liquefaction describes the behavior of soils that, when loaded, suddenly suffer a transition from a solid state to a liquefied state, or having the consistency of a heavy liquid. Liquefaction is more likely to occur in loose to moderately saturated granular soils with poor drainage, such as silty sands or sands and gravels capped or containing seams of impermeable sediments. During loading, usually cyclic undrained loading, e.g. earthquake loading, loose sands tend to decrease in volume, which produces an increase in their porewater pressures and consequently a decrease in shear strength, i.e. reduction in effective stress.
