Adiabatic process
In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is one that occurs without transfer of heat or matter between a thermodynamic system and its surroundings.

Centrifugal governor
A centrifugal governor is a specific type of governor with a feedback system that controls the speed of an engine by regulating the amount of fuel (or working fluid) admitted, so as to maintain a near-constant speed, irrespective of the load or fuel-supply conditions.

Mean effective pressure
The mean effective pressure is a quantity relating to the operation of a reciprocating engines and is a valuable measure of an engine's capacity to do work that is independent of engine displacement.
