A valve is a mechanical device or natural structure that regulates, directs, or controls the flow of fluids (liquids, gases, slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing passages, essential for starting/stopping flow, controlling pressure, or preventing backflow in systems like pipes, engines, and even the human body (like heart valves). They work by using internal components (discs, balls, gates) that are operated manually, electrically, or automatically to manage fluid movement.
