Convergent nozzles accelerate subsonic fluids. If the nozzle pressure ratio is high enough, then the flow will reach sonic velocity at the narrowest point (i.e. the nozzle throat). In this situation, the nozzle is said to be choked. Increasing the nozzle pressure ratio further will not increase the throat Mach number above one.
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment. The furniture, fixtures and equipment fixed asset category usually has a lower capitalization threshold than other fixed assets due to their lower acquisition costs. Desks, chairs, tables, couches, filing cabinets and movable partitions are part of your furniture fixed assets. Fixtures are anything attached to your building or structure that, if removed, would cause damage. Common fixed asset fixtures are installed lighting, sinks, faucets and rugs. Your copy machines, telephones, fax machines and postage meters are included as office equipment fixed assets.
Fixed Asset. Definition: A fixed asset is an item with a useful life greater than one reporting period, and which exceeds an entity's minimum capitalization limit. A fixed asset is not purchased with the intent of immediate resale, but rather for productive use within the entity. An inventory item cannot be considered a fixed asset, since it is purchased with the intent of either reselling it directly or incorporating it into a product that is then sold. The following are examples of general categories of fixed assets: 1  Buildings. 2  Computer equipment. 3  Computer software. 4  Furniture and fixtures.
