The word "inlet" is a correct and usable word in written English. It can be used as a noun meaning an opening into a body of water, or an opening leading to a confined space, or a stream running into a larger body of water. Example sentence: The inlet led to a hidden cove where we could spend the day fishing.
But his favorite spot to photograph is "definitely at the beach, and a few spots around my town's local inlet", he says.
They have been catching and tagging dogfish in Lough Hyne, an inlet in County Cork, Ireland, where they abound.The tags (which emit an inaudible sound) showed that female dogfish but never males hide in groups in small underwater caves during the daytime.
For higher performance, an intercooler is sometimes placed between the compressor and the engine's inlet manifold.
To prevent that a "blow-off" valve, which dumps surplus compressed air into the atmosphere, is fitted between the turbocharger and the inlet manifold.On the exhaust side, a "wastegate" regulates the turbocharger's output by bleeding off some of the hot exhaust gas so that it bypasses the turbine.
Greater flexibility has come with fuel injectors, which can metre fuel more precisely than carburettors, and variable-valve control, which can optimise the opening and closing of inlet and exhaust valves to produce more power when accelerating or greater economy when dawdling around town.
Typical turbine-inlet temperatures for large units range from about 980° to 1,260° C with turbine blade cooling used at the higher temperatures.
To be successful, a steady-flow engine based on the ideas first proposed by Stolze depends not only on high efficiencies (more than 80 percent) for both the rotating compressor and the turbine but also on moderately high turbine-inlet temperatures.
Being a terminologist, I care about word choice. Ludwig simply helps me pick the best words for any translation. Five stars!
