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,
Strain energy in the form of mechanical work. For example, the heat of combustion of cyclopropane (696 kJ/mol) is higher than that of propane (657 kJ/mol) for each additional CH unit. Compounds with unusually large strain energy include tetrahedranes, propellanes, cubane-type clusters, fenestranes and cyclophanes. More on strain energy The work done in deforming the materials or The potential energy of the molecules due to their displacement from their mean position is called strain energy by tajamul Strain energy In physics, strain energy is the energy stored by a system undergoing deformation. For linearly elastic materials, strain energy is: formula_1 where σ
