Concentric reducers are a symmetrical, conical shaped device that enlarges or reduces a pipes diameter equally about the centerline. An Eccentric reducer is not Symmetrical about the centerline.
For example, envision the flow through a gravity based pipe... picture it in terms of an elevation section view... the eccentric reducer maintains the flowline (a straight continuous line along the bottom) while the pipe size decreases from the top down.

Concentric refers to a type of muscle contraction where the muscle shortens as it generates force, such as when lifting a weight. Eccentric, on the other hand, refers to a muscle contraction where the muscle lengthens as it generates force, such as when lowering a weight. Both types of contractions are important for muscle strengthening and control.
Eccentric muscle contractions involve the lengthening of the muscle under tension, which allows for greater force production compared to concentric contractions where the muscle shortens. This occurs because the muscle fibers can generate more force during the controlled lengthening process in eccentric contractions, leading to greater tension development.
Isotonic muscle contractions involve both concentric (muscle shortening) and eccentric (muscle lengthening) phases. In isotonic contractions, the muscle changes in length while maintaining a constant tension, such as when lifting a weight or performing a bicep curl.
The correct phase order of the stretch-shortening cycle is eccentric contraction, amortization phase, and concentric contraction. This sequence allows for energy storage during the eccentric phase, a brief pause to transition from lengthening to shortening, and then rapid muscle shortening in the concentric phase for powerful movement.
Eccentric motion refers to a type of muscle contraction where the muscle lengthens while generating force, as opposed to concentric motion where the muscle shortens while generating force. It is commonly used in resistance training to build strength and control in muscles.
The capacitance between two concentric spheres is determined by the radius of the spheres and the permittivity of the material between them. It can be calculated using the formula C 4rr / (r - r), where C is the capacitance, is the permittivity of free space, r is the radius of the inner sphere, and r is the radius of the outer sphere.
