virtailejektio
Virtailejektio is a term used in fluid dynamics to describe a rapid, directed expulsion of a fluid from a confined space. The word combines the Finnish root virta (“flow”) with a suffix that denotes ejection, reflecting the process’s function of propelling fluid outward. Virtailejektio occurs in natural phenomena such as geysers, in engineered systems like steam turbine exhausts, and in specialized safety valves that vent pressurised gases.
The physical basis of virtailejektio lies in Bernoulli’s principle and the conservation of momentum. When a
Engineers design virtailejektio systems to balance two competing requirements: efficient removal of unwanted fluid and minimal
Virtailejektio is distinct from related phenomena such as jetting, where loose droplets form a spray, and from
