Low-pressure area most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth. Wind is initially accelerated from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This is due to density (or temperature and moisture) differences between two air masses. Since stronger high-pressure systems contain cooler or drier air, the air mass is denser and flows towards areas that are warm or moist, which are in the vicinity of low-pressure areas in advance of their associated cold fronts. The stronger the pressure difference, or pressure gradient, between a high-pressure system and a low-pressure system, the stronger the wind. Thus, stronger areas of low pressure are
High-pressure steam locomotive sealed ultra-high-pressure circuit that simply transferred heat to a high-pressure circuit, by means of heating coils inside a high-pressure boiler. If this latter was fed with ordinary water, scale could form on the outside of the heating coils, but it could not cause overheating because the ultra-HP tubes were quite capable of withstanding their internal steam temperature, though not the firebox flame temperature. The sealed ultra-high-pressure circuit ran at between , depending on the rate of firing. The HP boiler worked at approx , and the low-pressure boiler at . The UHP and HP boilers were of a water tube
