Parallel path flow — As defined by NERC, this refers to the flow of electric power on an electric system s transmission facilities resulting from scheduled electric power transfers between two other electric systems. (Electric power flows on all interconnected… … Energy terms
Contract path — The most direct physical transmission tie between two interconnected entities. When utility systems interchange power, the transfer is presumed to take place across the contract path, notwithstanding the electrical fact that power flow in the… … Energy terms
Parallel computing — Programming paradigms Agent oriented Automata based Component based Flow based Pipelined Concatenative Concurrent computing … Wikipedia
Parallel universe (fiction) — A parallel universe or alternative reality is a hypothetical self contained separate reality coexisting with one s own. A specific group of parallel universes is called a multiverse , although this term can also be used to describe the possible… … Wikipedia
parallel circuit — [1] An electrical circuit with two or more resistance units so wired as to permit current to flow through both units at the same time. Unlike the series circuit, the current in the parallel circuit does not have to pass through one unit to reach… … Dictionary of automotive terms
Critical path method — PERT chart for a project with five milestones (10 through 50) and six activities (A through F). The project has two critical paths: activities B and C, or A, D, and F – giving a minimum project time of 7 months with fast tracking. Activity E is… … Wikipedia
Secondary flow — In fluid dynamics, a secondary flow is a relatively minor flow superimposed on the primary flow, where the primary flow usually matches very closely the flow pattern predicted using simple analytical techniques and assuming the fluid is inviscid … Wikipedia
laminar flow — Hydraul., Mech. the flow of a viscous fluid in which particles of the fluid move in parallel layers, each of which has a constant velocity but is in motion relative to its neighboring layers. [1945 50] * * * Fluid flow in which the fluid travels… … Universalium
Darent Valley Path — Map courtesy of OpenStreetMap The waymarked path Darent Valley Path is 19 miles (31 km) long, following the River Darent from the banks of the River Thames at Dartford through the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the… … Wikipedia
Series and parallel circuits — If two or more circuit components are connected end to end like a daisy chain, it is said they are connected in series . A series circuit provides a single path for electric current through all of its components.If two or more circuit components… … Wikipedia
