The energy required by animals to sustain life is derived from oxidation of ingested food. We often speak of food being burned in the body. This is an appropriate expression because experiments show that when food is burned with oxygen, approximately the same energy...

Rotary and reciprocating compressors are both components of gas transfer systems. They both have the same purpose--to bring a gas into the system, inhale exhaust, then repeat the process. They both do this by changing the pressure at certain points in order to force...
