Talk:Back pressure

lets talk about "how to minimize the backpressure on four-stroke motorcycle exhaust pipes".

Too narrow a view

edit

This article has way too narrow a view and desperately needs to be rewritten. Back pressure is encountered in many fluid flow situations, not just automotive mufflers. For instance, in the plumbing industry, special valves must be inserted into the system to prevent back pressure from causing a reverse flow that would contaminate household water from a hose bib, would contaminate municipal water supplies from a household or other service receiver, etc.

I am removing, for the moment, the unsupportable and ridiculous claim that mufflers are becoming more irrelevant with modern automobiles. Nothing could be further from the truth. I hope that someone with a bit of fluid dynamics background will give this article the tender loving touch it so desperately deserves.

"wrong term" (sic)

"The term backpressure is a wrong term because..." As soon as I read this I marked it for cleanup because this is just an abysmal first sentence. --Petercorless (talk) 21:11, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Need to fix grammar mistake and add more scientifically relevant data.

edit

There are a lot of grammar mistake in this article need to fix that. I am not good with grammars, i tried to add more scientifically relevant data, As back pressure is an imprecise/Nonstandard term and usually used verbally in some industry between technicians, there is only a few place that actually says about back pressure this makes impossible to make more citations and references. I never seen the term backpressure in any standard fluid mechanics books or found in any research journal. In my personal opinion the usage of the term Back pressure is 'wrong' as there is no such thing as 'back pressure' so we should not spread the misinformation about back pressure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Engr.Nithin Mohandas (talkcontribs)
