  2. List of reservoirs by volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reservoirs_by_volume

    Nominal volume Capacity The total volume of all water held behind a dam at the maximum level possible. Initial volume Design volume The possible volume within the reservoir after it first opens. Many rivers are high in silt that over time deposits behind a dam reducing capacity. Active volume Live volume The total capacity minus the dead pool ...

  3. Displacement (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(fluid)

    Measurement of volume by displacement, (a) before and (b) after an object has been submerged. The amount by which the liquid rises in the cylinder (∆V) is equal to the volume of the object. In fluid mechanics, displacement occurs when an object is largely immersed in a fluid, pushing it out of the way and taking its place. The volume of the ...

  4. Molar volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_volume

    The ideal gas equation can be rearranged to give an expression for the molar volume of an ideal gas: = = Hence, for a given temperature and pressure, the molar volume is the same for all ideal gases and is based on the gas constant: R = 8.314 462 618 153 24 m 3 ⋅Pa⋅K −1 ⋅mol −1, or about 8.205 736 608 095 96 × 10 −5 m 3 ⋅atm⋅K ...

  5. Semen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semen

    A 1992 World Health Organization report described normal human semen as having a volume of 2 mL or greater, pH of 7.2 to 8.0, sperm concentration of 20×10 6 spermatozoa/mL or more, sperm count of 40×10 6 spermatozoa per ejaculate or more, and motility of 50% or more with forward progression (categories a and b) of 25% or more with rapid ...

  6. Partition function (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_function...

    The grand canonical partition function applies to a grand canonical ensemble, in which the system can exchange both heat and particles with the environment, at fixed temperature, volume, and chemical potential. Other types of partition functions can be defined for different circumstances; see partition function (mathematics) for generalizations.

  7. Petroleum reservoir - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_reservoir

    A petroleum reservoir or oil and gas reservoir is a subsurface accumulation of hydrocarbons contained in porous or fractured rock formations. Such reservoirs form when kerogen (ancient plant matter) is created in surrounding rock by the presence of high heat and pressure in the Earth's crust .

  8. Petrophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrophysics

    Components of a petrophysical model of a water-wet reservoir rock. Due to the complex microstructure, for a water-wet rock, the following terms comprised a clastic reservoir formation: V ma = volume of matrix grains. V dcl = volme of dry clay. V cbw = volume of clay bound water. V cl = volume of wet clay (V dcl +V cbw). V cap = volume of ...
