Pneumatic actuator Pneumatic actuator A pneumatic control valve actuator converts energy (typically in the form of compressed air) into mechanical motion. The motion can be rotary or linear, depending on the type of actuator. A Pneumatic actuator mainly consists of a piston or a diaphragm which develops the motive power. It keeps the air in the upper portion of the cylinder, allowing air pressure to force the diaphragm or piston to move the valve stem or rotate the valve control element. Valves require little pressure to operate and usually double or "triple" the input force. The larger the size of the piston,
Potential energy of protein with two chemical bonds, the two bonds tend to form a fixed angle. Any variation from this fixed equilibrium angle contributes to protein potential energy. Total potential energy based on angle is defined as over set S the triplet of atoms that are connected by two chemical bonds; E = Σk(α-α) where: k is the force constant α is the equilibrium angle α is the bond angle The middle bond of three bonds formed by four atoms maintains a certain angle which is also known as torsion is defined over set S the quartet of atoms that are connected by
