A manifold is a wide and/or bigger pipe, or channel, into which smaller pipes or channels lead. Types of manifolds in engineering include: * Exhaust manifold, an engine part which collects the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe * Hydraulic manifold, a component used to regulate fluid flow in a hydraulic system, thus controlling the transfer of power between actuators and pumps * Inlet manifold or "intake manifold", an engine part which supplies the air or fuel/air mixture to the cylinders * Manifold (scuba), in a scuba set, connects two or more diving cylinders * Vacuum gas manifold, an apparatus used in chemistry to manipulate gases * Many dredge pipe pieces In biology manifolds are found in: * Cardiovascular system - blood vessel manifolds etc. * Lymphatic system * Respiratory system Manifolds are used in: * Pipe organ ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manifold (fluid mechanics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
