Difference between Shorten and Streamline

SHORTEN vs STREAMLINE: NOUN

A line that is parallel to the direction of flow of a fluid at a given instant.
The path of one particle in a flowing fluid.
A contour of a body constructed so as to offer minimum resistance to a fluid flow.
See line, and line of flow (under flow).
A line that is tangent to the velocity of flow of a fluid; equivalent to the path of a specific particle in that flow.
On a weather chart, a line that is tangent to the flow of the wind.

Of or pert. to a stream line; designating a motion or flow that is free from turbulence, like that of a particle in a streamline; hence, designating a surface, body, etc., that is designed so as to afford an unbroken flow of a fluid about it, esp. when the resistance to flow is the least possible; ; -- the current usuage prefers the term streamlined.

Contour economically or efficiently
To design and construct the contours of a vehicle etc. so as to offer the least resistance to its flow through a fluid.
To simplify or organize a process in order to increase its efficiency.
To modernise.

To add shortening to (dough) so as to make flaky.
To reduce in force, efficacy, or intensity.
To make short or shorter.
To become short or shorter.
To take in (a sail) so that less canvas is exposed to the wind, thereby reducing speed.

To make short or shorter in measure, extent, or time
To reduce or diminish in amount, quantity, or extent; to lessen; to abridge; to curtail; to contract
To make deficient (as to); to deprive; -- with of.
To take in the slack of it.
To reduce sail by taking it in.

To construct or design in a form that offers the least resistance to fluid flow.
To design with flowing, graceful lines.
To improve the efficiency of, often by simplification.
To design or modify so as to present the least possible resistance to fluid flow; -- used mostly of vehicles, such as automobiles, airplanes, or ships.
To change so as to make more efficient; -- used especially of organizations, procedures, or methods.

Figuratively, to make inefficient or incapable. Compare short-armed.
To make appear short: as, pleasant companionship shortens a journey; a concave mirror shortens the face.
To make short or shorter; abridge; curtail: as, to shorten hours of work; to shorten the skirt of a dress.
To check; confine; restrain.
To take in; contract; lessen in extent or amount: as, to shorten sail; to shorten an allowance.
To come short; fail.
To make anything short: used with in in the nautical phrase to shorten in on the cable, to heave in short or shorter.
To deprive.
To cause to come short or fail.
To become short or shorter; contract; diminish in length: as, ropes shorten when wet.
To make short or friable, as pastry with butter or lard.
To pronounce or measure as short: as, to shorten a vowel or syllable.

The path of a constituent particle of a flowing fluid undisturbed by eddies or the like.
